Inside of Hell's castle, Lucifer walks slouching, his hand dragging across the walls of his castle. His face displays that of a tired soldier, fed up and regret running through his face. His gaze was suddenly diverted to the side as he stares at the pictures displayed on the walls. There were a variety of royal portraits painted and hung neatly across the walls. His eyes laid upon them, analysing every corner of the painting. Most of them was his, standing in a proud and valiant posture. This was all his legacy. Every stone, every field, every flame across hell was his as he stands proud as the king of Hell, but somehow, after everything, he still didn't find what he was looking for. Even after he settled down, he's still searching for something. He then froze when he stumbles on a different kind of picture. This time it wasn't just him. He stood there with his son and wife by his side, hugging her son with him hugging both of them in his arms. He recognise the picture as it was painted years ago back when Damian was a little over 5 years old. His body moves closer to the painting as he puts on a curious look. His hand tracing across the old fabric of the painting, delicately feeling the softness, the memory still vivid. His hand stops when he reaches Damian's face. His eyes open wide looking at his son, happy...

He then continues tracing the painting crossing over his wife and finally until he reaches himself. His eyebrows raised as he felt something different about him in that picture. Something different, compared to all the other pictures he had. His face, it was... smiling...

His mind trying to comprehend the reason behind his smile and why wasn't it present in all the other paintings. He sighs deeply, his head lowers, his eyes staring at the floor. He then continues his walk, this time, his mind even more plagued by questions he never thought of, questions that bothers him.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the castle, brings us to a narrow pathway, dark and gloomy with barely any lighting to light the way other than a few torches hung around. The pathway was filled with cells on either side. Rusted shackles and chains hanging freely from the ceiling. Black water dripping down from the ceilings creating puddles of pitch darkness giving off a dreary scene. In one of the cell, a certain cat demon was groaning in pain. Her eyes suddenly shot open as her body spasms for a while. She then regained control and she starts looking around. She could feel her muscles aching and weakening due to the effect of the poison. She tries to move but was tucked back as she hears a clinging sound. She looks back to see one of her hand and tail being shackled to the walls. She tries to use her body weight and pushes herself forward to try and yank the shackles of but it didn't work. She uses all her might, gritting her teeth as the pain starts pulsing through her hand and tail but it was to no avail. She pants for air after she stop pulling her hand.

"Sh*t!" She cursed to herself, her mind unable to come up with any solution. Suddenly, her ears perked upwards as she picks up the sound of footsteps heading her way. She immediately resumes to her old position and acts and she never awakened. She could hear them stopping in front of her cell.

"That b*tch is still unconscious huh!" A voice said.

"The drug seems like it's working well! Could you imagine if we were to fight her?" Another voice said. Jill peeks from the corner of her eyes to see two demons presumably royal guards.

"Yeah but I don't see what the big deal is... Look at her! She's weak!" The first demon said cockily. Jill gritted her teeth and bit her lips trying to control her anger.

"You say that but you gotta remember, she's the vice commander for a reason!"

"Anyways, the boss got the girl!! It seems that everything's going to plan!" The first demon added.

"Yeah but... I don't know why they had to bring us into this... if the king finds out...

"Girl?" Jill thought to herself.

"OH NO! KAYLA!!" She panics in her mind. They've already got their hands on her. It was too late...but Jill didn't give up. Jill's mind immediately tries to think of an escape. She secretly sneaks a glance from time to time, observing her surroundings trying to find a way to escape but if she alerts the guards, who knows how Kayla's captors will react.

Jill starts stressing out, sweat dropped from her forehead, squeezing each of her last brainpower trying to think of a strategy. Suddenly, she heard the guards starting to chatter.

"You hear that?" One of the guards say.

"Yeah... someone's coming!" The other guard says as he prepares his spear followed by his partner.

"This is a restricted area!" One of the guard yells.

Suddenly, a green flash lit up the area as one of the guards was suddenly thrown away with a powerful force as he crashes on a wall leaving a massive crater on it.

"DAMN YOU!!" The other guards cursed out loud as he charges to the attacker but he was then thrown at the iron bar of the cell making a loud metallic thud. He soon drops down and passes out. Jill who saw this whole commotion has her eyes wide open as she was surprised by what happens. Suddenly, she could see the shadow of the attacker moving closer to her cell. She immediately prepares her tail as it transforms into a blade although it was still stuck to the wall.

"Jill!! Thank god! You're lucky I found you here!"

It was Zill. His face express that of a concerned person. Jill became confused by the turn of events.

"Zill? Why are you here? How did you even fine me?!" Jill asks him.

"I'm here to get you out of course!! Couldn't just let you and Jack do it all alone!! Ashley's gonna be pissed!" Zill jokes as he tries to rip the iron bars open.

"Also, I found this when I was searching the place! It led me here!" He says as he pulls out her pendant. She gasps as she fumbles her hand around her neck to realise it was gone. She must have dropped it when they were carrying her here. She smiles seeing hope was not lost with that one stroke of luck.

It was Jill's plan as she texted what she heard about the conversation between Bozzwick and Drake at Jack but they got to her first and managed to knock her out.

"Hold on! Step back Jill!" Zill warns as he fails to bend the bars with his strength. He then steps back a little as his hands starts to glow a green hue, charging up a blast.

"Wait no! Search the guards for a key, we mustn't alert anyone else!" Jill advises him.

"Oh! Right!" Zill says as he immediately retracts his hand and searches the two unconscious guards for a key.

"Yes! Found it!" Zill chimes as he immediately goes over to her cell and unlocks it.

"Thanks! But... where's Jack?" Jill asks him.

"We had to split up to find you! Should we wait for him?" Zill asks her.

"No! We don't have time! We need to get to Damian!!" Jill says as she immediately sprints outside the dungeons. Zill was caught by surprise and tries to catch up with her.

"Hey! Wait up!" He yells at her and grabs her hand stopping her.

"We don't have time!!" Jill retorts at him.

"I know but you gotta explain what the hell's going on? And why you were locked up?!" Zill asks her in a serious tone.

"I'll tell you on the way! Come on!" She says as she resumes her pursuit with Zill following her.

"WHAT!!! THEY GOT KAYLA?!!" Zill was shocked to hear that.

"Yeah! That's what I heard when I eavesdrop on the guard's conversation!" Jill says to him as she continues sprinting.

"Sh*t! I should've been there!!" Zill curses as his face starts to frown.

"I know! I feel the same way you do!" Jill says as she glances at him and shares the same look. She suddenly looks forward and her eyes bulge.

"We're here!" Jill says as they stopped in their tracks as a large door was in front of them.

Meanwhile, Damian was on the other side of the door... or at least what was left of him...

He lies sitting with his back on the door as expresses a depressed look. His tears dried up on his fur leaving a faint mark. He sniffles to himself, the amount of sorrow he felt. It was dark... too dark...

Suddenly, he felt something behind him. A thud. He looks behind to see the door he was lying on starting to open up. He was surprised to see two familiar figures standing in front of him.

"Zill?!" Damian gasped in confusion.

"What are you guys doing here??!" Damian asks.

"We need your help! There's no time to explain!!" Jill says to him but she fails to notice Damian wiping his tears.

Zill who saw this puts on a concerned look and went to him. He then placed his hand on his shoulder as an attempt of comfort.

"You're okay dude?!" Zill asks.

"I'm fine... What's going on?" Damian asks in a weak tone.

"It's Kayla! They got her!!" Jill said.

"What!! Who?!!" Damian asks switching to a concerned and serious tone.

"Drake and some other guy! I couldn't see him clearly but he has some sort of vendetta against you!" Jill explains. Suddenly, a switch went off in Damian's head as he heard Drake's name. The memories of when he was at the theater flashed in his mind. Knife in his body, the wicked smile...

Damian fell to the ground as he held his head tightly.

"You're okay dude?!" Zill immediately catches him before he fell completely.

"I'm fine... it was Drake! He was there... He was the one that stabbed me!!" Damian confesses to them as he remembers everything that happened. Jill and Zill immediately looked at each other.

"I'm gonna f*ckin kill him!" Damian suddenly rages as he stand up and walks limply towards the door.

"Woah woah dude! Hold your horses! We can't just go charging blindly!" Zill tries to stop him by blocking his path.

"I don't care! I need to save her!" Damian says to him in an angry tone.

"Me too but going in there without a plan is dangerous!" Zill tries to convince him.

"Get out of my way Zill! None of this would've happened if I haven't forgotten about it. This is on me and I intend to make things right!" Damian's eyes blares with red flames inside.

"Listen! We happens, happened alright! I'm angry too but what matters is now! So suck your anger up for a while and let's think of something! I want so save her as much as you do but if you want to save her, then calm down and let's think of something!" Zill fought back at Damian. Damian gritted his teeth for a while and diverted his gaze. He clenches his fist as his blood was boiling inside. His mind was utterly focuses on his revenge. Suddenly, an image of Kayla flashed in his mind, her smile and her laughter rang in his ears. Damian immediately relaxes his body and sighs deeply. He then looks at Zill with a calm look.

"Sorry... you're right!" Damian admits.

"Good! Now, firstly, we need to find out where they are!" Zill says to them.

"Well, they're not in the overworld, I can tell you that much!" Damian suggests at them.

"What? Why?" Jill asked confused.

"My dad closed up all pathways leading to the overworld around half an hour back! I can feel the connection between Hell and Earth fading so there's no way of getting out once you're inside! And I don't think people can come here from the overworld anymore!" Damian says to them.

"What!!" Zill yells shocked by the fact he would be trapped in hell.

"Why did he do that?" Jill asked Damian softly. Damian was only able to meet her gaze and gave a sad look at her and Jill immediately caught the notion so she changed the topic right away.

"Wait!! Can't we just ask your dad for help? Perhaps he can...

"NO!!" Damian suddenly shot at Zill. Jill looks at him surprised and tries to change the topic.

"Anyways, now that we know that he closed all the pathway, luckily for us, it also means they're stuck in here with Kayla, I think I know a place where Drake usually keeps his... prisoners! So if anywhere, I think he would held her there!" Jill says to them. The more appropriate term would be prostitutes or demons he kidnaps and tortures for fun. It was one of the many reasons she was disgusted by him.

"Ok good, we're getting somewhere but seeing how you were locked up with guards around, we'd have to assume that he got more allies by his side!" Zill says to Jill.

"Yes, that's true... he probably have two dozen royal guards by his side! I know that he's got a big influence among the royal guards! It'll be trouble if we caused a commotion! Worst case scenario... we all..." Jill stops not wanting to think of the aftermath if they were to fail.

"Plus, the other demon I saw, the one that supplied the poison, he's dangerous as well, maybe even more dangerous than Drake! I could take Drake head on but it's impossible if we were to deal with the royal guards and the other demon... Truthfully, I don't see anyway this would be possible without more allies! Going in there with just the three of us would be suicide!!" Jill warns them, her eyes reflects that of a hopeless person. Zill sighs as he went into deep thought. Damian suddenly clicked his tongue and walks pass them. Then, he turns around and looks at them with a steely gaze.

"I f*cked up a lot in the pass and I owe so much to Kayla! I know that saving her seems impossible, I admit it, even I don't see a way out of this unless we'd have a miracle... which is why I'm going alone!" Damian says to them clenching his fist.

"Dude! Haven't you heard what we've just said? It's suicide!" Zill yells at him.

"I know! But I'm still gonna try anyway... the fact that they've captured her means one thing... they want me there! Otherwise, they would've already...

"That's why I'm going alone! You guys shouldn't endanger yourselves because of me!" Damian spoke bravely. He then took a step forward before someone held him back. It was Zill placing his arm on his shoulder.

"You'r right... but I'm coming with you! I owe it to Kayla as well!" Zill says. Damian nods at him before both of them turns to Jill.

"Well... she's my friend too so I'm coming along as well... and... I think I might have a plan!" Jill says to them. Zill and Damian nods and each other and listens carefully.

"It's risky but it's the only chance we got!" Jill explains to them.

Meanwhile, inside a labyrinth in hell.

"Urgghh" Kayla groans as she regains her conciousness bit by bit. Her eyes flickers open bit by bit as her vision was faded. Her eyes too blurry to see her surroundings. She then blinks her eyes for a while until she regains her full eyesight. Her eyes shot open as she fully recovers from her grogginess as her body jumps a bit only to be met with the clinging sound on the walls.

"Where am I?" She asks herself as her eyes travels wildly, trying to comprehend her location. It was dark and gloomy with only a candle lighting the room or more accurately the prison cell she was in. She tries to stand up only to stumble back down. Her eyes travel down to see her hands being shackled together and one of her legs being chained to the ground.

"What!!?" She gasped as she tries to free herself. She uses her leg strength in order to try and break free off the chains. She pushes her feet off the ground with force trying to yank the chain open. Her teeth grits and her eyes closed shut as she focuses her strength on her leg muscle trying to break free. Suddenly, all her actions stop when she heard a series of clapping noises heading her way. Her ears twists like a radar as she picks up those sounds. Suddenly, a silhouette appears from the dark, a figure which she imm recognises. It was the person that tricked and drugged her, it was Drake. He grins cynically as he places his hand on the bars of her cell.

"Amazing!!" He shouts at her laughing maniacally and Kayla only responded by looking at him with disgust.

"Ya know, most girls would've already pissed themselves or are shouting and crying right about now but not you!! So! This is the prince's chosen one!" Drake told in a cynical voice.

"Why are you doing this?!" Kayla yells at him.

"Well, I'm not the person you should be asking that question with. I'm just here for the ride!!" Drake laughs at her mockingly.

"Ya know, Damian is quite the sissy, even for a demon, he doesn't deserve you so maybe after all this is done, we could have some fun...you and me!" Drake flirts in a disgusting voice, licking his lips. Kayla responds by staring at him with disgust and rage boiling inside her.

"DROP DEAD!!" Kayla yells at him as she stood up.

"Ooooh, we've got a fighter!! You know... I really like strong girls, they're all feisty and different but when I break them bit by bit... it really...turns me on!" He growls at her from behind the bars.

"Bozzwick said I shouldn't harm you but he didn't say that I can't have some fun!" Drake spoke in a threatening voice. Suddenly, her cell door bursts open as Drake enters. Kayla panics in her mind as she tries to think of a plan. Out of nowhere, he dashes at her and pins her on the walls behind her creating a loud thud.

"Wow!! You're really packing up close! How did Damian even manage to seduce you?" He asks chuckling. He presses his body on hers to suppress her movements followed by his legs moving in between hers. Kayla was only able to move her face from side to side in retaliation as she was tied up. He then proceeds to direct his face next to her and starts sniffing her from her face down to her neck. Kayla whimpers and carries a disgusted look on her face at Drake's actions.

"Perhaps, I should give you a test drive..." He says as he places his hand on the side of her abdomen. He then directs them lower and lower on her back forcefully. Kayla carries a disgusted look on her face every second. He then lowers them until he reaches her backside before...

URRRGHHH!!!

Kayla grunts as she trusts her head forward with all her might, headbutting Drake until he flew, crashing on the ground a few feet from her. One mistake Drake did was underestimating her strength, a mistake he might not recover from. He groans as pain courses through his body and his head spun like a top. He places one of his hand on his face only to realise he has a broken nose, purple blood dripping from it, staining his hand. He then looks at Kayla panting with a steely look on her face.

"YOU B*TCH!!!!" He dashes at her. Kayla whimpers and closes her eyes while diverting her face ready to take the incoming attack.

"Stop..." A voice suddenly said from behind Drake. Drake immediately stops in his tracks and look back followed by Kayla who opens her eyes.

"Bozzwick!" Drake gasps.

"I think you had your fun! Now... f*ck off somewhere else!" Bozzwick says to him.

Drake clicks his tongue and walks out of the cell injured on both his face and pride. He then leers at Bozzwick before muttering.

"This isn't over!!" He then walks off somewhere. Bozzwick stretches his arms and sighs.

"Sorry about that! Really couldn't keep him on the leash all the time!" Bozzwick jokes. Kayla could sense that he was no ally either by the time of his voice, course and somewhat sinister.

"Anyway, we haven't officially met. I'm Bozzwick!" He extends his hand. His hand lies idly in the air waiting for her to shake it. It was then he realised and laugh.

"Ohh yeah, I forgot... you're all tied up!!" He laughs and held his stomach as he couldn't control the humour building inside him.

"What do you want?!" Kayla asks him in a loud voice. He immediately stops his laughter and looks at her.

"Bold of you to assume that I want anything, well technically, it's what all us demons want!" Bozzwick says as he paces around her cell.

"Why? I haven't done anything!" Kayla yells at him. He then chuckles.

"Ya know, you overworlders are so full of yourselves. Well that's to be expected, you guys live up there all jolly and we demons down here suffer in return of all your laughter!" Bozzwick says with a hint of poison in his tongue.

"So that's it, you're gonna kill me because we don't suffer as much as you do?" Kayla asks him.

"What!? I'm not going to kill you... yet!" He laughs at that last word. Kayla gulps as fear starts engulfing her.

"But you're wrong if you think I'm going to kill you because I despise the overworld... no I have a more... entertaining reason!" He chuckles.

"I know that you're Damian's girlfriend. It's obvious! So, this is my way of getting revenge at him!" Bozzwick reveals his plan.

"I will enjoy hearing him scream for mercy as you die in his hands!" Bozzwick suddenly growls menacingly.

Suddenly, a pair of footsteps was heard as a guard appears in front of their cell.

"Boss, the prince, he's here!" The guard tells them. Bozzwick has a smile on his face when he hears those very words.

"Speak of the devil!" He chuckles as he looks at Kayla.

Meanwhile, Kayla was in utter dread as she worries for Damian. Her pupil shook in fear not for herself but for Damian.

"No!! Damian!" She worries in her mind as he was in danger. She grits her teeth praying that he would be fine.

Now that all the chess pieces are on the board, which side will take the king? The battle of fate will be unleashed as one side will lose everything. For Damian, this was his one last struggle, his last chance!
