Youthintruth: Yeah, they're off to hell to rescues the girls.
StraightUpHippo: …okay?
ThotKesha: No, she can stay.
DopeKesha: C'mon, invite the guy.
Please enjoy the next chapter. Also, going to use spacers, like I did in my last chapter in Art of Betrayal.
The small group of nine walked the brimstone streets of the underworld as Marco narrowed his eyes and looked around. Spotting a demon running towards them, Marco growled under his breath before reaching up and grabbing the demon by his throat, holding him above his head. The demon struggled to break free from Marco's grasp, "Let me go, you disgusting hybrid!" spotting the gold band on his finger, "That's the…Golden Ring of Solomon, but we all thought Rafael was telling one of his tall tales when he said that his monster of a son bore the ring,"
"We're not here to talk about jewelry," Marco pulled the demon closer to him and hissed, "There were four human females brought down here this morning and you're going to tell me where they are," he tightened his grip and the demon began gasping, "Start talking,"
"I'm no use to you if I'm dead, moron," the demon gasped and Marco loosened his grip slightly as the adults stared with horrified expressions crossing their faces, "Yeah…new girls…some of the Higher Ranked demons went to the human world this morning…grabbed four of them…Brittney Wong, Sabrina Backintosh, Ashley Dingley and Star Butterfly…don't know what they would want with them, but-"
"Where are they!" the nine demanded.
"Ah…they were taken to the Dark Castle…can't miss it…just head straight…the dark aura would lead you there," The nine looked up and Marco growled under his breath, "N-now that you know…can you put me down?"
Marco smirked and chuckled as he shook his head, "Sure, my pleasure," he walked over to the ledge of the road and the adults stared at him as he rose the demon up above his head, "Have fun!" tossing the demon over the edge, the being screamed in peril as he plummeted further into the abyss.
The eight watched as Marco turned and walked back to them before Jeri shook her head and spoke, "Marco, do you think that was-"
"He asked me to put him down, I just honored his wishes…and before anyone says anything else, I need to you mind you that I'm going through an Evil-Cycle!" Marco looked over his shoulder with a look of hatred behind his eyes, "I'm not going to stop until we-"
"Can we ask you something, boy?" Moon inquired and Marco slowly nodded, "When you got suspended for two days, you were fine, when your parent decided to show up out of nowhere yesterday, while agitated, you were fine, so why is it that having the girls taken from earth and brought down here warrant enough to go through an Evil-Cycle? And didn't you say it was far too soon to go through one again?"
"You really want to know?" the eight slowly nodded as Marco sighed and shook his head as he looked back with a hardened expression crossing his face, "I've been in captivity all my life, all you are aware of that, and during that time I was shown nothing but disgust and hatred from the other angels until my first Evil-Cycle ended and they decided to banish me to earth where I met Star, Sabrina, Ashley and Brittney. While I was uncertain about the whole ordeal at first, they showed my kindness…I actually got someone to show me what it's like to be kind…and having the first people ever to be kind to me taken away like that pissed me off! And these rat bastards are going to pay with their very lives!" the angry hybrid turned and rushed down the road with the eight following close behind.

The nine stood on a lone hill, staring at a darkened castle as Marco narrowed his eyes and River spoke, "So what's the plan, Marco?" Marco looked down at the short man in annoyance, "Well…that demon said that High Ranked demons came to earth, so there are bound to be some pretty High Ranked demons in there an-" Marco picked up a nearby stone and examined it before tucking it under his arm and began walking towards the castle, "Marco?"
"We're going to play a new version of dodgeball," looking down at the golden band, he hissed, "You better be up for a challenge, you damned right," he then focused his attention on the other ring and shook his head, "And you too. We're going in there to save them and I need both the Brass Ring of Humility and the Golden Ring of Solomon," he looked over his shoulder and growled, causing the adults to jumped back slightly, "The rest of you better keep up. I'm not hunting for anymore humans today," they slowly nodded before Marco looked up at the castle and took the stone in his right hand.
Taking a deep breath, he throw it and everyone watched as it left his hand with a force and was surrounded by electrifying force before hitting the castle, "Run!" he began running towards the castle as the adults saw several demons take to the sky before they hesitantly followed Marco.

The adults watched as Marco fought the demons coming towards them, getting injured in the process as the demons fell to the ground, pools of blood surrounding them and flowing towards them as screams of terror filled the air. Grabbing a demon by the collar, Marco pinned the panicked being against the wall and narrowed his eyes into slits, "Where are they?"
"W-w-where are who?"
Marco slammed the demon against the wall in a fit of rage, "Don't play dumb with me, you foolish Bet...why they have a low Ranked demon patrolling the castle is beyond me…now where are they?" the demon cowered as Marco's eyes flashed with anger, "Where in the hell-"
"Marco!" Christina spoke before she, Jeri, Moon and Melissa stepped past them and each held a photo up, "These girls, where are they?" the demon looked at the photos before looking away and Christina leaned closer and shook her head, "Listen, we can't control our little friend for very long. He's angry and he's going through an Evil-Cycle," the demon looked back with wide eyes, "All you have to do is tell us what we want to know and he'll let you go,"
The demon swallowed hard and nodded before looking back at the photos, "T-they're in the northern tower…just go down this corridor, take the first stairwell on your left and follow it up, you'll see the door leading to the tower, but it's heavily guarded, just let me go," Marco growled as a sword formed in his left hand and he pierced the demon's throat before stepping back and watched as the demon hung on the wall.
"What was that!" Melissa snapped, looking at Marco with narrowed eyes, "We said you were going to let him g-"
"Again, Evil-Cycle, don't give a damn on much of anything, now let's go!" he turned and raced down the corridor without looking back. The adults frowned and slowly followed him.

The group stood at the bottom of the stairwell and Marco looked up the spiraling staircase as he tightened his fists, "The northern tower…if that damned bastard was lying, I'll have his wife and children begging for mercy,"
"Okay, timeout!" Henry snapped and stepped forward and Marco looked back, "Do demons not care about others? Aren't you a hybrid? You're part angel, right? So shouldn't your angelic side tell you that this is wrong? And don't use the Evil-Cycle excuse."
The air between the humans and hybrid grew still before Marco inhaled slowly and shook his head, "Demons don't give a damn about other demons except the ones in their family…my old man being the exception to the rule and as for my angel side, since I'm going through an Evil-Cycle, I can't hear my angelic side! It's mute at the moment until I get out of this cycle!" Marco looked back at the staircase and narrowed his eyes, "I even told you what I plan on doing one day. I'm going to come back here and take over hell and then I'll take over heaven and order my armies to slaughter one another and then have my parents condemned, all while I watch from the comfort of my throne,"
He looked back and shook his head, "If this is too intense for any of you, I will send you back to earth, if you think you can stomach what's to happen, then follow me,"
The adults stared at him for a moment before Daniel shook his head, "Goddamn it kid…no matter what we chose, something is bound to happen, so we might as well stick around to see how it plays out," Marco hummed and nodded before he turned and began running up the stairs in a hurry with the adults following.
Okay, I originally wanted to have to go for a while longer, but I have a sequel instore and there's only like two or three more chapters for this installment. Enjoy.
