Van looked down into the obis below him, the long tunnel of black charcoal rock and the smell of burning flesh made him feel a little bit scared, but not Dilandau, he looked as if he was gonna enjoy an eternity of pain, anger, and fire ((especially the fire!!)). "Well, are you gonna go in?" Dilandau asked while tapping on the ground with his foot. "Why don't you? You seem to like Hell a lot more than I do." Van replied in a depressive tone. He couldn't believe that he was going to Hell, nor could he believe he was dead, if only he could go back to where he and Dilandau fought, he could still be with Hitomi but maybe it was best this way. Dilandau pushed Van out of the way and jumped strait into the pit of Hell, then Van followed right behind him. The smell of death filled Dilandaus' lungs and ash was flying into his hair, behind him Van was trying to keep ashes from getting into his eyes, then, after what seemed like hours of falling, they landed on hard, red ground, Dilandau first, then Van fell right next to him. "Oh God, what the fuck is that odor?" Van asked as he got off the ground. "I don't know, but it smells like shit!!!" Dilandau replied while brushing ashes out of his hair. "Well, finally you got here." A voice bellowed infront of them. They looked up to find themselves face to face with a giant dragon laying on a huge throne made of brass, blood covering its face and teeth, his giant eyes glowing a red glow, 2 pairs of black horns on top of its head, and the foulest breath ever!!! "Ever tried brushing your teeth?" Dilandau asked while looking at the beast's teeth and smelling its breath. "Shut your mouth pest." The dragon bellowed. "Are you the devil?" Van asked. "What the Hell do you think? Off course I am, where you expecting some fucking little man with hooves and little horns?" It roared. Van and Dilandau both ducked at the on coming blood that was being spewed at them while he roared. "Well, what are you gonna do to us now?" Van asked while wiping blood of his pants. The creature laughed a loud roaring laugh, then looked at both Van and Dilandau, eye to eye. "I'm so glad you asked that…you see, we have a whole lot of punishing tortures awaiting you…just follow one of my demons." With that, he snapped his claws and a pixie-looking girl flew to him. She was covered in a long, black, torn cloak, held a sickle in one hand, and had large bat wings. "Yes master" She said in a whispery tone. "Take these two to the mines" The bellowed. With that she drug them both to a elevator shaft that was beside the dragon. She opened it and inside was a short little dwarf that kinda looked like the mole man. "Take these two to the mines." She ordered. The mole man nodded and pulled both of them inside the shaft, then he pressed one of the buttons and the shot strait upward at a very fast rate, so fast they stuck to the ceiling. "AHHHHHHH!!!!" They both screamed. When it stopped, they both fell to the floor with a large "THUD!". "ow." Dilandau said in a muffled voice. "Here is your stop!" the mole man yelled. The got out of the shaft to see giant caverns surrounding one large black castle. Men where pushing and pulling huge loads of lava, rock, and ashes, some where even dragging bodies. A man walked up to them wareing a large red cloak and black pants, he was obviously another demon, because of his large horns. "So, your Van Fanel and Dilandau Albatou? Not much of a site." A man bellowed in a deep voice. "And you are..?" Van asked. "I am the man who runs the mines up here!! I'll be your master for the next 10,000 years, we dig tunnels around here that don't lead anywhere." He replied. "Then why the Hell dig them?!?" Dilandau asked in rage. "THIS is one of the many punishments down here!!!! You dig till you cant see and then we still make you dig!! You'll only get 2 hours of sleep and then we'll make you dig even more!!" the man yelled. "Oh." Dilandau said in a bummed tone. "NOW, you are to go strait to work," The man said while handing them two large picks covered in dust," I hope you both like this place, you'll be here for a very long time!!"

Poor Dilly and Van. What will happen to them? Will they escape or spend eternity in Hell? All will be reviled in the next and FINNAL chapter, that is if I get enough reviews. So REVIEW this story and tell me if you want there to be a next chapter!
