First Battle!! New Allies!!

A field filled with thousands of battle-oriented orcs can be seen, they all seemed to be diverging towards a specific direction.

The direction seemed to be towards the entrance gate of the ogre's village but somehow they were being held back.

In front of the gate, Lucifer and Rimuru can be seen surrounded by countless bodies, constantly moving, their movements seemed synchronized, as soon as Lucifer shoots, Rimuru ducks and defends his back.

"We're quite the team, don't ya think so?" Lucifer stated while dodging a axe that was aimed at his chest.

Realistically, Lucifer could use a barrier and defend himself easily using his ultimate skill but he wanted to hone his skills first before having to depend on his magic.

"Yeah, we're pretty good. We've been at this for around 30 minutes, do you think the ogres are done evacuating!?" Rimuru questioned while dodging a sword that was aimed at his neck.

"Let's keep fighting for a few more minutes and retreat, their most likely a good distance away by now. I also already sent Ranga to guide them to the village, so they should be fine for now, let's just make sure they can't track our steps." Lucifer responded, while continuously shooting.

"What about that clown guy? He's just watching us fight, I'm pretty sure he's just waiting for us to tire out." Rimuru questioned calmly since he was sure they could easily take him on together, so he wasn't something they should worry about.

"Yeah probab-" Lucifer stopped talking and looked in a certain direction, and so did Rimuru.

"Are you serious?" Rimuru questioned in disbelief.

"I don't even know." Lucifer stated while chuckling.

It seemed that 4 ogres joined the fight alongside them.

One seemed to be an old man around 5 feet tall with a katana as a weapon, he could be seen slashing through orcs.

Another one seemed to be a red-haired young man with a katana, firing fire spells at the orcs.

The 3rd one is a purple-haired female with some big ta-ta's and she had a spiked mace as her weapon, she could be seen bashing whatever orc came into her sight.

The 4th one is a blue-haired young man with a sword in hand, slashing through the orcs with mercy.

'Oho, future-to-be Hakuro, Benimaru, Shion, and Souei were sent to help us, their probably the strongest individuals in their village. It also makes sense why Shuna or Kurobei isn't here, their not battle-oriented individuals. Damn, but they're killing the orcs, I need to tell them to chill.' Lucifer pondered.

The future-to-be Benimaru rushed over to Lucifer and Rimuru.

"My father sent us to assist you guys in retreating!" Future-to-be Benimaru quickly explained while dodging an orc who lunged at him.

"We didn't really need help but we appreciate it. Also, can you guys tone it down on killing the orcs." Lucifer stated.

Benimaru was about to question why but realized it wasn't time to ask questions, so he just quickly told his companions to retreat with Lucifer and Rimuru.

Lucifer motioned for Rimuru to come back to him and he quickly explained their retreating, Rimuru just nodded.

"The clown seems to not want to interfere, maybe he realized we were strong and didn't wanna take the risk?" Rimuru questionably thought out loud.

"Who knows, for now, let's just retreat. All of you guys come over here!!" Lucifer commanded the ogres.

All the ogres looked at the ogre with the red hair for permission and he just nodded, telling them to just follow his orders.

They all gathered next to Lucifer, Lucifer then pointed his guns outwards and shot bullets that discharged some sort of smoke, but it seemed that as soon the smoke came into contact with the orcs, they immediately dropped to the ground.

'This ability is so convenient.' Lucifer inwardly thought.

Lucifer and Rimuru used this time to Grab two ogres each and fly off toward their village.

After a few minutes of flying, they eventually reached their village where the ogres could be seen waiting.

Once they landed the ogres seemed to be a little dizzy because of the flying but eventually calmed down.

All the ogres who were in the village quickly surrounded all of them, but they quickly made space for the chief, in order to allow him to talk to his son.

"Is everyone okay!?" The chief questioned, wanting to make sure everyone is okay.

He knew he couldn't have just left his saviors to die, but also Benimaru and the other three seemed eager to help their saviors, even the quiet Souei wanted to help, so he just allowed it.

"Yes, father we are fine." Future-to-be Benimaru assured him.

"HOORAY!!"

All the ogres cheered, even though they lost their home, they were all safe.

The ogre chief smiled at everyone's liveliness and walked up to Lucifer and Rimuru who were seemingly arguing.

"I definitely knocked out more orcs than you." Lucifer shrugged.

"No! I definitely had mor-" Rimuru was about to retort but noticed the chief wanted to say something to them.

"What happened?" Rimuru questioned confusedly.

Suddenly the chief bows down at a 90-degree angle.

"Thank you! Even though you owed us nothing, you still saved us, I don't wanna imagine what would have happened if you guys didn't save us." The chief immediately expressed his thanks to Rimuru and Lucifer.

The ogres looked dumbstruck, they have never seen their chief bow down to someone so easily but they didn't stop him because they know he was right.

"It's alright, now stop bowing. IT"S TIME TO CELEBRATE FOR EVERYONE STAYING SAFE!!" Rimuru exclaimed while picking the chief back up from bowing.

"HOORAYY!!"

"TIME TO PARTYY!!"

"LET'S GOOO!!"

Cheers could be heard from all over.

Rimuru then ordered the goblins to bring out the food since it seemed like he already ordered them to make food and make tents for the ogres before he left for battle.

(Couple Days Later)

Rimuru and Lucifer can be seen discussing with the chief in the new meeting room.

"We just want you to serve us until we defeat ogres since we're are going to need the manpower but after that, you guys are free to do whatever you want." Lucifer explained what he and Rimuru planned to the chief.

"I see, we owe you our lives so of course we can at least assist you guys with this, plus they destroyed our home, we need our get back." The chief resolutely stared at Lucifer, with eyes full of determination.

"Alright, thank you, you should tell everyone else though." Lucifer stated.

The chief nodded, he was about to leave but was cut off.

"Wait, bring in the people you sent to save us earlier, also bring in your daughter and the best blacksmith you guys have." Lucifer stated.

The chief just looked at him confusedly but just nodded along because he knew his son would be there to protect his daughter if anything happened even if he stood no chance against them.

Once the chief left, Rimuru just slouched in his chair, the whole entire time Rimuru was silent because he was mentally exhausted and didn't feel like talking, so he asked Lucifer to do the talking for him.

Rimuru was about to switch to his slime form in order to relax more but he was cut off by a hand grabbing his shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Rimuru questioned, looking weirdly at Lucifer who was holding onto his shoulders.

"As much as I would love to let you relax, this day is far from done." Lucifer sighed while talking.

He doesn't like forcing his friends to work but sometimes you gotta do what you don't like.

"I thought we were done, what else is there to d-" Rimuru suddenly stopped talking and a look of realization went across his face.

"Yup, it seems we have some visitors and they look like lizards."

"Ugh, can't you just deal with it?" Rimuru looked at him beggingly.

"We're both the leaders of this village but trust me, once we get out of the trenches, we'll hire people to do our work for us or we could just make clones." Lucifer smirked smugly.

'I never understood why Rimuru wouldn't just hire more people to do his work so he can at least lighten his load or make clones.' Lucifer pondered.

"Yeah! Definitely!" Rimuru seemed happy with the suggestion.

"Well come on let's go."

Once they left, they went up to the front of the village and could see a lizard getting beat up by a purple-haired ogre.

A couple of ogres seemed to just be watching the altercation, which included Benimaru, Shuna, Kurobei, and Souei.

'Damn, future-to-be Shion beat the shit out of Gabiru. It seems since we stayed in longer, Shion ran out of patience and just beat his ass.' Lucifer inwardly chuckled.

Once Lucifer and Rimuru reached where Shion was, it seemed Gabiru was grabbed by his friends and taken back.

"What happened!?" Rimuru surprisingly questioned.

"He tried to force us to serve him but once we declined, he started to insult our leaders because we told him it was a slime and a cat, so she decided to punish hi-pfft." Benimaru could barely hold his laughter back.

It seemed like Gabiru was making fun of their new leaders and Shion got angry because of it. The other ogres didn't stop Shion because they were also angry because of the disrespect Gabiru was showing.

"Lord Rimuru, Lord Lucifer did I do a good job!?" Shion asked with a proud smile on her face.

"You can't do thi-" Rimuru was cut off by Lucifer.

"Good job but next time try to control yourself a little better because you could endanger the village if you hit the wrong person." Lucifer smiled at Shion's behavior, he believed she could be a bit impulsive but she isn't just a brute, she has a lot of potential to become one of the most powerful in the verse.

'Me and Rimuru rarely disagree on things but this is where I have to cross the line, I never liked how he reprimanded his subordinates for things that they did for him. Just like how in the first season when Milim punched Phobio because he punched Rigur's skin off his face, Milim got punished when Phobio is at fault for starting the problem.'

'Of course you need to reprimand your subordinates and make sure they behave but do it when they truly are doing something wrong, not when it's clearly not their fault.'

Rimuru just silently glared at Lucifer.

"Of course Lord Lucifer, I will take your advice to the heart." Shion nodded thoughtfully, she realized Lucifer was right and that she needed to think before acting more.

"The chief told us you summoned us?" Benimaru questioned.

"Uh yeah, just follow us." Rimuru just told them to follow him and Lucifer while they were walking back to the meeting room.

Once they reached their, Lucifer put them side to side.

"We called you here because we wanted to name you guys." Lucifer stated to the shock of the others.

Lucifer and Rimuru agreed they needed to name them, in order to give them a boost in power and because it's better to have some sort of identification.

They were planning to name the rest, including the chief later.

"But Lord Luci-" Shuna was about to tell them it was dangerous but Benimaru cut her off.

"We will gladly accept."

'We must get stronger, in the battle, we were barely of help, Lord Lucifer and Lord Rimuru could easily deal with all those orcs but we were too weak to be helpful. In order to be useful we must get stronger.' Benimaru determinedly thought.

Shuna just stayed silent, she already knew what her brother was thinking and agreed.

'If I and Rimuru split the names between us, nobody should run out of Magicules.' Lucifer thought.

"Alright, you will be Shion, Kurobei, and Shuna." Lucifer stated.

"You will be Benimaru, Souei and Hakuro." Rimuru also stated.

They all started to gain more human features, Shion looked even badder and Shuna looked prettier.

Benimaru looked skinnier, Hakuro looked a little younger, Souei looked more human overall and Kurobei's skin turned more human.

"We will name the rest over the next few days, be ready, we will fight the orcs in a couple days." Lucifer stated tiredly, he was a little exhausted but was fine nonetheless.

They all left in order to prepare for the future's battle.
