Before we get started, I want to answer some questions that many of you readers have sent me in your reviews. So, here we go.

To King Tiger 68: I'm glad to be back on Fanfiction too. I've been trying to figure out what my first return story would be should I ever come back to writing fanfiction again, so I thought why not reboot one of my old stories and give it a sequel through there. Things continue to get interesting as the story progresses even though it's only 10 chapters. Keep reading!

To Kranon The Deathclaw-Human: Though I can't say much about the parings, I will say that there are some vibes that go on between Brief and Scanty. Brief's final combination weapon has yet to be revealed, but I will say it is one of the strongest hybrid swords he'll ever wield. The little ghost known as "May" has a 'funny' way of coming back after being 'killed', so basically she's like the ghost equivalent of a cockroach; no matter how many times you kill em', they keep coming back. As for the name you ask? I just came up with it while writing out the chapter.

Well, that'll do it for all the questions from the readers for now. Let's check in on the action that's happening now as we speak, shall we?


Garterbelt quickly opened the front doors of the church after suddenly hearing the loudest bolt of lightning he'd ever heard. He saw where the strike had hit as there was a white cloud of smoke rising from said area. Once a good portion of it had cleared there stood a figure on bended knee wearing a white hooded robe. The afro preacher descended down the front steps towards the front lawn to examine the figure closely.

The hooded figure rose to its feet while dusting off any dirt or pebbles that may have gotten onto the robe itself. It stood with its back turned to Garter as he stood there wondering what his next move should be. "You must be Garterbelt…right?" asked the figure in the voice of a mature woman. The afro priest glanced down at the robed woman's feet and saw that she was wearing white open-toed heels signifying that she was indeed a woman.

"Yes," he replied before clearing his throat, "but who are you?"

The white robed woman turned around slowly on her heel as she looked at Garterbelt before speaking. "Just call me Ginkcots," she said. Ginkcots slowly approached Garterbelt before stopping just six inches away from him. "Heaven has been monitoring the situation that's been going on in Oten City. They're quite outraged that Stocking Anarchy has betrayed them and killed her sister, and has joined forces with Corset. So they sent me down here to rectify the situation…"

Before Garter could say a word Ginkcots continued, "I know you've already sent the one called Brief, or 'Geek Boy' as they called him, to Oten City with the Demon Sisters to try and save Panty and defeat Corset and Stocking. However there's something you should know…"

"And what might that be?" asked the preacher finally glad he was able to speak. Ginkcots walked towards the doors of the church before looking back at Garterbelt.

"I'll explain everything…" was her reply.


OTEN CITY…

Brief and the Demon Sisters along with their new companion ghost named May, dashed towards the area where the giant ghost snake was. The group found themselves near an intersection less than a half a block away from the ghostly serpent, as the Rock child gripped the hilts of his daito blades. The Hellsmonkey's aura began to surge through his body as the ghost suddenly picked up the signature, and turned his attention on the boy.

"Hey scales!" yelled Brief in a smug tone, as Scanty and Kneesocks stood beside him with their weapons in tow. "Why don't cha play with us for a while?"

The snake hissed loudly before a title card named "DRAGACONDA" suddenly appeared before fading out 20 seconds later. It began to take in some air and blew a giant fireball right at Brief and the others; however the Rock lad raised both daito swords over his head before swinging them downwards in an X-pattern, causing gale force winds to incinerate the fireball immediately on contact. The Demon Sisters couldn't believe their eyes as they had no idea that Brief would grow this powerful in such a short amount of time.

The assault didn't stop there however, as Brief charged full speed at the ghost snake while it shot numerous fireballs at the orange haired samurai. Dodging the blasts in samurai fashion, the Rock child found his way towards the snake's midsection, and struck it with a powerful X-pattern slash. The ghost growled and hissed loudly in pain as the boy did a major stylistic backflip before landing in his feet just several feet away from the injured serpent. Brief then spun both swords around three times before looking back at Scanty and Kneesocks from the corner of his eye. "You two just gonna stand there n' gawk?" he asked raising a brow and smirking. "Get your asses in there n' help me take her down!"

"Uh, right!" they both said in unison as the Demon Sisters dashed towards the snake with their weapons in tow. Scanty shot more than 20 rounds at the ghost while Kneesocks sent numerous slash waves from her scythes as the snake took on the damage while roaring and hissing in pain. Despite the slash marks and bullet wounds on its body, the ghost snake still had enough fight in it to shot more fireballs at the trio. May scampered onto Brief's shoulder after the Rock lad dodged another fireball blast from the serpent. "This ghost is a D-Ranked ghost!" she said. "Surely you guys can do more damage than this!"

"They're just warming up," replied the samurai geek in a smirk. "Time for me to go in for the kill…" Scanty and Kneesocks continued attacking the ghost snake with their bullets and slashes until they felt Brief's aura from Hellsmonkey. It was then that the Rock child dashed by them in an orange blur before realizing that he was right in front of the snake. A nasty flurry of slashes and parries that emitted red and white slash waves was inflicted on the ghost before Brief dealt the final blow. "AKUMA'S FURY!" he yelled as he raised both daito swords over his head and brought them down in an 'X' slash pattern, emitting red and white slash waves in the shape of an X.

Flashes of light began peering through the slash wounds of the snake as it hissed loudly before it screamed to the heavens upon exploding. The remains splattered all over the nearby buildings and streets of the city, as the Demon Sisters and Brief had defeated the ghost. "Damn, that was badass!" yelled May in excitement as Brief slipped his daito blades back into their sheaths.

"You were right," the Rock boy replied in a shrug, "that ghost snake wasn't even worth the challenge I thought it was going to be."

Scanty and Kneesocks were quite impressed at how Brief did in his first battle using Oni's Vest. "I must say Rock, that was quite impressive to say the least," praised the lime haired demon sister. "Your powers are growing at a level we thought they would never reach in such a short amount of time."

"You should be proud of yourself," Kneesocks added. "Corset or that tawdry angel won't even be a match for you at this rate…"

"No kidding," Brief replied.

"What's our next move, boss?" asked May.

"Look for the rest of the Panty pieces," the Rock child replied before glancing at the buildings of Section H. "Corset knows he can't do anything until I unlock Hell's Gate, at the same time…He'll only revive Panty if we collect all 666 pieces…"

"But, how do you know that this isn't a trap?" asked Kneesocks a bit concerned. "Since we've been working under him for the longest he's known to be a lot of things, but despite his insanity and mental illness, he's taking everything that's happening into consideration."

"Thousands of failures have made him craftier than ever, so we need to be on high alert for anything from this point on," Scanty added in a serious tone.

"Well that's true…" said Brief, pondering on the fact that Corset may or may not be telling the truth about his word. "Still, that's a risk we'll just have to take for now. However once we collect all of Panty's pieces, we'll decide on what our next plan of action will be. Agreed?"

"Agreed," Scanty and Kneesocks said in unison. The trio along with May decided to pick up where the trail of pieces were last spotted as Stocking was hiding behind one of the small buildings whose roof got covered in the remains of the ghost snake.

"Dammit," she growled. "What the hell is Corset thinking?! He's only going to get stronger from this point on, so I guess that means…I'll have to get stronger as well."


Elsewhere in Daten City, Garterbelt stood at the pulpit while the white robed woman known as Ginkcots sat down in the front row of the church's sanctuary. "Now, just what is it that I should know?" asked the afro preacher trying to figure out what the woman meant by her statement. She left out a small sigh before explaining…

"As I'm pretty sure you're aware, the angels that you mentor managed to kill enough ghosts to return back to heaven. However during that transition, when a fallen angel completes his assignment they go through several different realms before getting to heaven. When only Stocking was allowed to return, she went through the realms herself…however it took her longer than expected to return home. That's not normal for most angels…"

"What do you mean?" asked Garter.

"She didn't go directly home," was Ginkcots' reply. "You see, even though Daten City lies on the fault line of both Heaven and Hell, there's a realm under heaven known as Sub-Hell. It's a more upscale version of Hell without the fire and brimstone that looks like a nightclub for demons and fallen angels. Of course there's a strong possibility that Stocking might have stayed in that realm longer than she was supposed to, which might explain why she wanted to become a demon. However there's more…"

"More?" questioned the afro preacher scratching his head.

"Panty and Stocking have fought against two ghosts that look like humans, and they even exposed Scanty and Kneesocks through their human disguises. Corset has been working on a way to create the most powerful army of ghosts ever; however after seeing Stocking's fighting potential against the ghosts she and her sister fought, he wanted to use her angelic DNA to create a massive army of her in order to take over the world."

"I should've known…" growled Garter balling up his fist. "Corset never did like to lose."

"I'm not sure how he was able to get the DNA from her, but it might have happened when she was traveling through Sub-Hell. If that's the case, then the ones you sent out to Oten City will have a hell of a time against Corset if he releases that Stocking army…"

A look of uneasiness appeared on Garter's face after hearing that information. If Corset unleashes the ghost army of Stocking's upon Oten City, they'll have enough power to overtake heaven and earth and force them to obey his rules. "Brief and those Demon Sisters are collecting Panty's pieces as we speak," he stated.

"I understand that," replied Ginkcots before rising to her feet. "Should Corset go through with his plans on releasing that army, I'll stand alongside the others to stop it."

The robed woman then walked down the aisle towards the front doors of the church before stopping for a moment. "Before I go, there's something I want you to do for me," she said as she placed a hand on one of the doorknobs.

"What's that?" was Garter's reply.

"Take the letters of my name and spell them backwards…" she said as she walked out the door and closed it. It took a minute for Garterbelt to process the riddle that she gave him as well as the overview on what was happening, however when he was able to put two and two together with the riddle, his eyes widened like a deer caught in headlights.

"OOOHHHHHHMYYYYYYGAAAAAAAWWWDDDD!"

(AN: Shhhh! Tell no one. I mean it!)


Three hours have passed since Brief and the Demon Sisters defeated the ghost snake known as "Dragaconda", as they managed to find 100 more pieces of the blonde angel, totaling their amount to 450. The trio along with May decided that it was getting a little late though the sky never showed it, as they made their way back to their HQ. Their bodies were a bit dusty and their clothes were a bit ripped and tattered, and they even sustained a few small cuts along their faces and other places on their body. However, they were a rather determined group despite their differences.

As Brief made his way towards the washroom, Scanty and Kneesocks began to talk among each other about the events that have happened.

"This is quite amazing," said Scanty. "Within the days that we have been training him, Brief has grown in both confidence as well as skill. Wouldn't you agree Kneesocks?"

"Of course sister, it appears that everything is working in our favor," she replied.

"It'll only be a matter of time until we come face to face with that traitor," growled Scanty referring to Corset. "By then we'll be far more powerful than he is!"

"As long as we continue to train with Brief, his skills and abilities with his swords will become stronger. Of course we'll become stronger in the process!" added Kneesocks.

"Then we're in agreement my sister. You and I will train that samurai, then conquer every ghost that rat bastard throws at us, and then…take our revenge!" declared Scanty.

"If that gluttonous angel gets in our way, we'll destroy her too!" declared Kneesocks.

"WE ARE HIGH CLASS DEMON COMMANDERS!" they shouted in unison, "AND WE SHALL INFLICT DEATH TO ALL WHO OPPOSE OUR…RUURUUULLEESSS!"


Meanwhile Brief was in the bathroom after washing the dirt off his face before looking in the mirror. He let out a small sigh before thinking about his confrontation with Stocking…

"The only dumb choice you made was taking Panty from me," replied Rock while glaring at Stocking. "What do you plan to gain by siding with Corset anyway?!"

"That's none of your business Geek Boy," sneered the angel. "Don't bother trying to stop what must be done. Corset wants to open the second Hell's Gate, but he can't do that unless you come with me."

"What if they're right…?" thought the lad. "What if all of this could be an attempt to trap me into unlocking Hells Gate for them…?"

"I know you're not doing this for Corset, Stocking," said Brief as he slipped his Double Gold Slicer back in their sheaths causing the angel to give him a funny look. "You and Panty may have fallen from heaven…but I don't think you have it in you to be a demon."

"Shut up…" growled Stocking.

"She's not the real reason you betrayed her and everyone in Daten City," Brief continued. "No one was able to see it, not even your own sister…but ever since your fiancé died you felt like a special part of you died with him. Now a black hole of jealousy has entered into your heart over Panty, because you can't understand why she's getting all the favoritism of men, while you get cast aside."

Brief placed his hands on the bathroom sink while he hung his head down, and let out a heavy sigh. He had no idea where those words came from, but he knew they struck a nerve with Stocking. He remembered Panty telling him about her sister's fiancé Patrick, and what happened to him after she confronted her and told her that 'she didn't know anything about what it meant to be in love'. Deep down he felt sorry for Stocking. Patrick was like the one and only ghost/person that she ever saw herself with, and now he was gone forever, never to return to her arms again. It hurt her badly. She wondered why Panty continued to take advantage of someone kind-hearted like Brief for her own personal gain. Though she didn't actually "like" him in that sort of way, Stocking thought that he deserved better than her own 'whore of a sister' as she would call Panty.

It just wasn't fair to her that she continued getting all the guys while none of them would even look in Stocking's direction; despite the fact that she had a better figure than her sister. When Stocking fell in love with someone, it was genuine. It wasn't like the kind of 'one-night-stand' love you get with a girl after meeting her at a nightclub somewhere, no, it was the kind of love that told her that you were hers and she was yours. Stocking knew that Panty would never understand that kind of love, nor appreciate it when Brief did things to show that love. She wondered what was it that he saw in her that he didn't see in Stocking? She was as equally as beautiful as Panty was, perhaps even more so, but just like all the others he chose her instead of the gothic angel. She didn't understand why it was always like this. She didn't understand why Panty was getting all the favoritism.

Brief looked in the mirror once again as he replayed what he said to Stocking in his head. The poor girl was hurt, and she felt like her own sister hurt her.

"Dammit…" he muttered.


Meanwhile in Daten City, the robed woman in white stood atop a tall building and saw Oten City from afar. She noticed how the orange and red clouds were swirling around the area, almost like they were warning the rest of the world to prepare for something.

"I just hope they know what they're doing…" she said quietly, as a small breeze of wind revealed her teal eyes…


CHAPTER IV – BETWEEN A ROCK

End!

That'll conclude the fourth chapter! I'm just keeping this thing rollin', aren't I?

Little by little the pieces of this story are coming together; from Brief continuing to strengthen himself through his samurai skills, to Garterbelt discovering the identity of the robed woman in white (NO Spoilers! I MEAN IT!), and so much more! It'll be a week before I post the next chapter, but until then stay wonderful my friends!
