Chapter 21: Digging Into Hell

(Angel's POV)

"Are we even close to Hell yet?" asked Boomer, wiping sweat off of his face. Demon leaned against a nearby tombstone.

"Nope! A thousand feet more!" she yelled, slurping on a smoothie. Wait, what?

"Demon, where did you get that smoothie?" I asked. She shrugged.

"From Mojo's place. Even if it's poisoned, it would have no effect on me. Taste like bananas."

"Wait! Don't drink-" started Bruise. But right before he could say 'that', Demon took a final long slurp.

"Well, that was better!" she burped, tossing the empty cup behind her. Bruise sighed, and continued to dig. I tapped on his shoulder.

"What was in that smoothie? Some kind of drug?" He shook his head.

"No. That was Black's pure energy."

"...her energy was a smoothie?"

"Converted into a smoothie. It was meant for Mojo himself to gain power, but since Demon drank it...well, you know." My eyes widened in fear.

"So...Demon has all the power?"

"Yup."

"C'mon people, MOVE IT." Poor guys. Letting Demon treat them like this.

"WELL WHY DON'T YOU AT LEAST HELP US DEMON?!" Her face turned red with fury.

"Help? HELP?! FOR PETE'S SAKE I'VE BEEN HELPING YOU! THANKS TO ME, KATSUMI HAS GUTS TO PUNCH SOMEONE! IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME, SHE WOULD ALLOW THAT BITCH TO...TO...TO FUCKING MESS WITH HER MIND!"

"Demon, I-"

"YOU WANT HELP?! FINE! I'LL GIVE YOU SOME HELP YOU FUCKING ANGEL!" With that, she jumped into our 10 feet deep hole and began to savagely claw the Earth, spraying dirt into the air and out like a rushing dog, burying a bone. It only took her about 15 seconds and 30 feet to hit the ceiling of Hell. We all fell, landing on each other. Mostly on demon though. "GET OFF!" She crawled out and patted down her arms. Silence filled the air until Blossom spoke up.

"So...this is Hell? Not quite what I have imagined." We all stared at the scenery. Fields of flowers and soft patches of grass spreaded as far as the eye could see.

"It's Hell to me. First rule of Hell: the first person who entered Hell would have their dreaded imagination come true."

(Bonnie's POV)

"Well, it could've been worse." I said, sitting on the grass.

"Shut up. What's worse to you is better to me." Bruise looked around and spotted a rabbit, pouncing onto a pink butterfly.

"Hey look! A rabbit! Maybe I can talk to it!" Before he took a step forward, Demon smacked his chest, sending him flying backwards and landed on his back on the flowers.

"Don't. Second rule of Hell: NEVER TRUST ANYTHING OR ANYONE. That rabbit is a demon in disguise." I looked at Bruise in horror as he spat out blood. Lots...of blood.

"BRUISIE! BRUISIE! ARE YOU OK?!" I fell into panic and checked him. Huh, none of his teeth were knocked out. INTERNAL BLEEDING?! He groaned in response.

"Wow, I somehow used a bit of strength and knocked him out."

"Demon...it's because of the smoothie."

"Hahaha. What?"

"That smoothie you drank. That was Black's energy."

"No wonder why I felt stronger."

"Demon please. Use you strength for good purposes. Don't harm our group." said Angel. Demon shrugged.

"Yeah, yeah. Now use your holy powers or whatever and heal him." Angel sat down next to me and surrounded Bruise in lime green light.

"It may take a short time. And the healing would also restore his lost blood" She said, patting my shoulder. My only response to that was a sniff and a nod.

"Wow, it has only been a few minutes in Hell and we already have an injured person," commented Brick. Demon flew to his face.

"Would you like to be next?" He shrunk in size.

"Nope! Nope nope nope nope!"

"Thought so."

"Anyways, we're wasting time here. Let's venture deeper into Hell." said Bash. I tugged on Bruise's arm and dragged him along with Boomer and Bubbles.

(Song: In the Navy) "And we're walking, to a deeper part of Hell, and we're walking-"

"Bruise, please shut up."

"Great, now both of my teammates hate me singing." he mumbled.

"I like it! Maybe you can join the chorus!" I cheered. Bruise beamed at me.

"Really?"

"Yeah! And Bubbles and Boomer can join you!"

"But what about you?"

"I'm playing a harp, remember?"

"Ah, right."

"But, we can do duets!"

"IF we make it out alive. So shut up." said Demon. We both sealed our mouths.

(Buttercup's POV)

IF we make it out alive? Hell yeah we're going to make it out alive! There's no way I'm gonna die in a shitty place like this!

"Well, this is...Hell...I guess." said Butch, looking at the rainbow spreading across the sky, creating an arch. Bird songs echoed in the air. Butterflies flew around a chrysanthemum and squirrels chased each other on the treetops. Yep. Definitely Hell.

"This place is beautiful and serene, though." said Blossom, gazing at the 'lovely' rainbow. Suddenly, voices of children singing was heard.

(A little song from my childhoods from Hello Kitty - A Storybook Adventure ^_^)

Way up in the blue sky,

Past the clouds away we'll fly,

Finding an adventure,

We won't know where,

Until we're there,

We're flying now and having fun,

Say hello to everyone,

Picture pretty rainbows,

Alright here we go!

(1st child)

I wanted to come along with me right now,

(2nd child)

Because you'll never know what we'll see. Yeah!

(Together)

C'mon let's play,

We'll take the day,

C'mon let's fly away!

Our imagination is the key,

Because you're never know what you're gonna see,

We'll take the day,

C'mon let's fly away!

"...is it over yet?" moaned Butch. I felt the same way. This type of Hell is WAY to cutesy.
