"Hraaaaaaaagh!" screams Raven as he slashes at a glitter spear men, only to miss entirely. The world around them was filled with ash and brimstone. One breathe left them coughing and hacking.

"When will it end?!" Elsword screams at the top of his lungs. The Lord Knight was hopelessly trying to defend himself.

A demon sneaks behind Elsword and readies its sword. THWACK! The demon was sent away to the next hell, by Chung's Destroyer.

"I've got your back!" Chung shouts out as he hurricanes away a cluster of demons from Elsword.

"Chung!" He hears a voice scream for help and he turns his head. His face turns to terror as he sees the poor Elemental Master get swarmed and disappear in a flood of demons along with Rena.

"Aisha! Rena!" Elsword screams as he charges into the swarm.

Meanwhile, Raven was smashing demons' faces in. The Reckless Fist screaming in anger as he smashes each wave of demons again and again.

"Raven, it's only a matter of time before your mental state is destroyed. I suggest you let me take care of things for now." Eve chimes in as she notices Raven.

"I can't stop! I won't stop until all of these bastards are dead!" He shouts back as he rams through a group with his nasod arm.

"Idiot.." Eve says as she clears away hundreds upon hundreds of demons around Raven with a laser. She was concerned of how he refused to stop, even when she says his mental state is going to decline drastically. If he keeps this up, he'll become a burden to the rest of the group if he doesn't hold it. She frowns as she realizes, she'll be the one to end him if he does.

She scans around herself to find dozens upon dozens of archers aiming at her as she floated around in the air.

"W-what?!" She screams as she gets pelted with hundreds of arrows.

Raven turns around to see Eve's body falling down to the ground. "No, this can't be happening… No.. No.. No. NO. NO. NO! NO!"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEVE!" He screams as he mows through to try to catch her body. Slashing, Bashing, Thrashing, and punching his way through the mass of demons that was between him and Eve. Recklessly mowing through them while getting shot, stabbed, clawed, and slashed at by them.

Chung turns his head once more to see Eve's lifeless body on the ground, and Raven screaming angrily as he is impaled by the several hundred demons around him.

"No.." No.. This can't be. This isn't happening. My friends.. I can't save them. It's too late for me. I was… too slow. They're dieing because of me. I wasn't strong enough. Elsword is.. wait. Elsword!

Chung quickly rushes towards the growing mass of demons only to stop dead in his tracks as he sees Elsword's blade fling out of the horde and almost strike him, stabbing itself into the ash covered ground.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Chung screams as he drops down onto his knees. His destroyer flopping onto its side. I've… I've failed them. Tears streaming down his face as he looks around to see himself surrounded by demons. This.. This is the end for me. I can't do anything now. I'm doomed. This cruel world has taken away the people I was sworn to protect. It took away my father.

Chung slowly lifts his head to see a familiar figure looming over him. It was his father. Clad in armor as black as the shadows itself. The emotionless look on his face sent chills down Chung's spine as he raised his hand to strike Chung.

Chung's face, wide with terror, shrieked in fear as his father landed the finishing blow over the Iron paladin's body.

Darkness. A darkness loomed over him, instilling a feeling of fear and disbelief. Is it.. over? Am I dead? I can't move my limbs… I can't... feel anything anymore. I've… failed my friends. What guardian am I who fails to protect the people he was sworn to protect with his very life? I don't deserve to wield the destroyer… I don't deserve to wear Freturnier...

Chung wakes up coughing and hacking his lungs out, only to realize he was still alive. His Freiturnier was in horrible shape, not to mention what literal hell the Destroyer had gone through.

"I'm alive..?" I say as I pick myself back up. Why was I left alive? Why hadn't they finished me when they had the chance? I was as good as dead anyway. My body was aching horribly. A light-headed feeling had come over me, causing me to spew my guts out in a horrible vomit. "Ugh..." I say as I kept my hand on my stomach, grimacing in pain as I shambled over to my Destroyer, struggling to pick it back up. Using my destroyer as a support, I had limped over to the edge of the cliff. I needed to get out of here. I'll.. come back to avenge my friends and get the job done when I'm in better… health. To my surprise, past the ledge, I saw a group of lesser demons shambling through a rather small gate. The gate itself was nothing to gawk at, just a smaller variation of what my friends and I came from. Although, I might be able to get back into Elrios that way. But it might also send me to an entirely different place of existence. I had looked around earlier, but this was the only gate in sight. It was this, or going through thousands of demons searching for another one, with my guaranteed death.

"Eh… Screw it." I'd rather take my chances and get through that gate. There's no use risking my life even more trying to get back to the same gate I came from. I checked my necklace to see all three beads were full and brimming with energy. This is it. I'll be able to get past them in my current state with this…

"RAAAAAAAAAARGH!" I screamed as I unleashed my necklace, making Freiturnier entirely envelop me as I rocketed towards the gate, streaming through the line of demons. Once I made it into the gate, everything stopped. My body was just there floating in mid-air. Then, I began to fall at a rapid pace. My heart began to beat faster in faster, almost as if it were about to explode out of my chest.

Visions. I saw visions fade in and out of my mind rapidly as I fell. The time where I revoked "Seiker." until I had become stronger. The time where I met Aisha and Elsword. The time where I decided to go on my path to becoming stronger. The time when I had lost all hope and Elsword had rallied me into fighting once more. The memories sped faster and faster. The time where we decided to go through the gate to the demon world. The time when Elsword, Aisha, and Rena died. the time where Raven and Eve died. The screams of horrible agony pushing into my very soul back and forth, again and again. The cringing picture of Raven being impaled and blood spilling out of his mouth as he screamed in anger. The sword Elsword had used flinging right next to me from the swelling mass of demons that had enveloped Aisha and Rena. The look on my father's face as he had began to strike m- No. no. Stop this. Stop. Stop it now. Stop. Stop. Stop. STOOOOOOOP!

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" I screamed as I streamed out of the portal, bombarding everything in my way, decimating thousands upon thousands of demons.
I had made it out.
