Jeanne a quest to redeem War

Prologue:

Sparda family home (The Third age of Creation

Within a mansion a blonde haired woman wearing a red dress was seen entering a bedroom where two platinum/white haired boys both with blue eyes who were identical in almost every way aside from their night clothes with one wearing red and the other blue. Following the woman was a man whose hair and eyes was like the two boys laying in bed while his hair was swept back and wore a purple long coat and a necklace that had a red gem around his neck.

The woman sat down in the bed with the boy wearing red as she raffled his hair and said "Dante I hope you stay in bed tonight instead of getting into trouble and dragging your brother into it."

The boy in red shrugged and claimed "I have no idea what you're talking about mom."

The man crossed his arms and spoke sternly "Boy, don't sass your mother."

Dante looked down and responded "Sorry dad…"

The man shook his head as the woman rolled her eyes with a smile as the man approached the woman and kissed her cheek and stated "I need to go Eva, your Uncle is waiting for me at the job."

The woman now revealed to be named Eva turned back and responded "Alright Sparda try not to get annoyed too much with Uncle's jokes."

Sparda sighed while walking out of the room with a smirk "No promises, (turns back and points at the boys) and Vergil, Dante respect your mother while I'm gone you hear?"

Dante passively waved his father and responded "Don't worry about it dad."

Vergil rolled his eyes and assured with a calm demeanor "I promise father, I won't disrespect mother."

Sparda scoffed in both in amusement and pride before leaving the room completely while Eva turned back towards her sons and questioned "So you won't be giving me any trouble huh boys?"

Dante bobbed his head a bit and claimed "Not too much trouble…"

Vergil groaned in annoyance as Eva patted Dante's leg and responded "Good to know you're honest about it."

Vergil suggested while rubbing his brow "Please don't encourage him mother!"

Eva chuckled in amusement as Dante questioned "So are you going to tell us another story tonight mom?"

Eva eyed Dante with a smirk as Vergil eagerly suggested "OH HOW ABOUT MORE ABOUT THE RISE OF DEMON CLAN OF AENSLAND, OR THE ONE ABOUT THE LOST CLAN OF SUCCUBI!"

Eva sighed with a smile and responded "Those two stories are rather closely tied to one another if I'm not mistaken."

Dante laid his chin onto his right palm and responded "They are… and we've heard so many stories that focused strictly on dad's people can't we hear something… (gestures left hand out) new and fresh for a change?"

Vergil glared at Dante and responded "You mock our father's people so casually brother, try not to be so rude about it."

Eva smacked her hands together catching the two brothers' attention as she assured "Enough boys! (sighs) I do have a story that can fit into both of your requests is that fair enough?"

Dante and Vergil eyed each-other as they both said in near perfect unison "Agreed."

Eva rolled her eyes with a smile and started "Very well… this story will one about a Witch and a Horseman."

Flashback: Jeanne and Bayonetta's apartment (The Second age of Creation)

A woman with platinum/white hair that reached to her thighs as she was seen laying in a bed with red sheets covering over her naked body yawning in a tired manner as someone was heard knocking on the door to her room as a woman's voice was heard "Jeanne, I'm heading out for the day I'll see you at Rodin's bar tonight."

The woman now revealed to be named Jeanne groaned and tossed a pillow at the door and responded "Go away Cereza, I'm sleeping!"

The woman revealed to be named Cereza was heard giggling in amusement before responding "I'll see you tonight then."

Jeanne readjusted herself in bed wrapping her arms and right leg over a body sized pillow and groaned lowly in a tired manner, hours later Jeanne was waking up in bed and sat up with the red sheet sliding off her body revealing her fairly decent sized breasts. Jeanne stretched out her arms as her face formed a stressed expression before her expression eased as she lowered her arms back down Jeanne got on all fours and stretched out her torso on the bed with her back making popping sounds as she sighed in a relieved manner.

Jeanne climbed out of bed as her hair extended and covered over her crotch and ass magically forming a thong that was the same color as her hair as she strutting towards her door and left her room and saw that she was alone in her. Jeanne was later seen in the bathroom taking a hot steamy shower the water running down her pale skin as she rubbed the soap on herself before shampooing her hair and began to clean it and her scalp before finally rinsing the soapy remain off her hair and down the drain.

Jeanne was later seen in her room sitting in a chair naked while brushing her hair with a ornate hairbrush while looking into her reflection inside a mirror, moments later she was seen putting on a red leather skintight suit and put on thigh high boots.

Jeanne placed her hands on her hips and looked at herself in the mirror and turned around and head her head facing the mirror and eyed her ass and said with an uncertain tone "Hmmm… Do I really want to wear this for the day or do I want to wear something fancier?"

Jeanne turned around caressing her suit across her breasts, waist and her thighs replacing them over her hips and shrugged saying "I suppose I can wear it, it does show off my lovely curves."

Later that night Jeanne was seen about to enter a bar but froze upon hearing a man's deep voice "Yo Bayonetta are you alright? Listen I don't need a costumer whose starin into space!"

Jeanne rolled her eyes in amusement as Cereza's voice was heard responding "I'm fine Rodin, never thought you cared for little ol' me."

Jeanne scoffed in amusement with a smile before entering the bar stating "Well I should be!"

The woman saw a dark skinned man with face tribal tattoos who wore sunglasses and a brown trench-coat serving a woman wearing a black skin tight suit magically made from her own hair was seen turning around revealing that she wore a butterfly themed glasses while she had a beauty mark on her chin. The bartender was a dark skinned man who was bald and had tribal tattoos across his face and head, wearing a brown long coat and sunglasses which the sleeves were pulled back to reveal his muscular forearms as he had a lit cigar in his mouth.

The woman turned around seeing Jeanne caused her to open out her arms and greeted revealing herself to be the woman known as Cereza or Bayonetta "Jeanne perfect timing how was your day, hunt any of those naughty lil Angels?"

Jeanne smirked while approaching the stool next to Bayonetta and responded "A few yes, raving in frantic and paranoid voices about how the Balance of powers in the cosmos have been utterly destroyed and that… an Old God of the Primordial Dark has risen again."

Bayonetta chuckled and joked "Those feathered faced fools always raving about the end of the world and how we're all doomed."

Rodin was seen cleaning a glass but suddenly a crow's caw was heard making him freeze in place before turning to see a crow with blue painted feathers and glowing green eyes flew in and perched on Rodin's counter as Bayonetta and Jeanne eyed the bird.

The mysterious crow began to carve a strange symbol one that vaguely resembled a Horse's skull causing Rodin to drop the glass cup in his hands shattering it as Bayonetta questioned while eyeing the symbol "Rodin, I thought there was a no pets allowed policy."

Rodin eyed the symbol as the crow looked up at him with a eery stare as he thought to himself "Now? I'd thought I'd have more time old man!"

Rodin rubbed the back of his head with a sigh of frustration before slapping down his wet rag and said "Ladies, I take my leave."

The two women formed confused expressions towards Rodin's behavior as he walked towards the exit but turned back to advised "Oh and some words of advice for you two… the Crowfather isn't quite right in the head at times."

Rodin turned back and left the bar leaving the two women baffled from his advice before the crow cawed causing the symbol to erupt into green flames forming ethereal crows while Bayonetta and Jeanne leaped away from the counter with Jeanne summoning a cutlass-styled sword while Bayonetta summoned two handguns in her hands. The green flames shifted yet the wooden counter remained unfazed by the heat of the flames as it formed a short elderly man wearing a robes that had a crow feather collar, he wore shackles around his wrists that were chained to another set of chains on his chest.

The Old man eyed the two women as he introduced himself "Greetings, I am what remains of the sanity of the entity known as the Crowfather, (gestures hand towards the crow) I have sent Bright Eyes here to the past to bring you both to me, for I have a job for you both."

Jeanne gave a distrustful glare while Bayonetta formed a curious look and questioned "And what sort of job is it Old Man?"

The Crowfather smiled softly and responded "Saving the Universe, that sort of job, in month's time the universe will due to the imbalance of the Universe, the loss of Jubileus, Loptr and Loki have left Sheba with the most power and threatens to shatter the Universe as you know it. (gestures hand towards both ladies) I can spare you the inevitable end to your lives, if you take up the job I have."

Bayonetta eyed Jeanne who noticed her confident smirk and sighed in defeat before responding "Oh fine! (eyes Crowfather and points at him) But only if you can pay the expenses!"

Crowfather chuckled in amusement before vaguely stating "I know of two who can…"

Crowfather raised his right hand and snapped his fingers forming portal beneath the women's feet causing both Jeanne and Bayonetta to fall down the two portals as the Crow Bright Eyes also dived through the portal where Bayonetta fell through before the Crowfather's flaming form dissipated into nothing.

Jeanne was seen falling in what seemed to be an endless corridor of doors one opened as a Elderly man's voice was heard "Can it be true that you have found him?"

Jeanne continued to fall as a different brutish voice was heard "STRAGA IS THE MIGHTIEST OF THE DESTROYER'S CHOSEN!"

Another voice was heard though this one was Demonic and mildly distorted "I offer you this choice, would serve in Heaven or rule in Hell?"

Another voice was heard, a man whose voice was calm and cold in demeanor "It tears at your heart, screams at your soul and gnaws at your flesh and bones!"

Jeanne formed a confused expression as another voice was heard but this time it was a woman's voice "WHAT IN HEAVEN'S NAME HAVE YOU DONE?!"

Jeanne looked around as she heard one final voice of a man "I… answered the call…"

The door slammed shut as Jeanne grunted in shock before being magically flung down the hall and cast through a door before it slammed shut as a Horse's neigh was heard eerily inside the halls.

New York city (The third age of Creation)

A portal opened up in a ally as Jeanne dropped down in a crouching position before slowly standing up and gave a confused expression with sweat rolling down her face while she panted heavily as she thought to herself "What… what were those voices?"

Jeanne walked out of the ally and noticed a large growing mass of people watching a screen on top of a building that showed a map of all the continents with red dots across it with the headline reading "METEOR CLUSTERS HIT THE EARTH!"

Jeanne watched the screen in confusing as it changed to show a meteor falling from the sky and crashing through a bridge before a meteor crashed into the screen causing the people to scream out in terror as Jeanne looked up into the sky to see countless meteor clusters falling.

But as everyone ran passed Jeanne some even shoved by trying to flee in terror while she had her eyes focused on the meteors she noticed that they weren't breaking apart and said out loud "BY SHEBA'S TITS!"

One of the clusters crashed down a few yards down the street blowing away both people and cars alike as Jeanne arched her legs while keeping her forearms up trying to maintain her balance before quickly standing straight and summoned her sword as she and a few other curious men and women approached the crash site. The ruble shifted and crumbled off a hulking Trauma Demon with large muscles with orange scaly skin and impaled upon one of it's doubled bladed bones wrists was an Angelic humanoid figure wearing golden armor who reached out to the Demon with one last defiant fist before falling limp on the Demon's blades.

The Demon slowly turned towards the Humans and eyed them for a brief moment before giving a loud roar before violently causing them the flee in terror as it tore aside the Angel's body off it's blades and began to slam it's fists onto a man killing him instantly and left a red splatter of his bloody, bones and organs. Men, women and children ran away as more clusters crashed down as Demonic Prowlers crawled out and tackled a man and began to maul out his throat.

Jeanne stood in silence with a scowl on her face as she thought to herself "That damn Old Man is gonna have hell to pay for bringing me here!"

A Demonic Prowler eyed Jeanne and hissed at her with saliva ran down it's chin before leaping out at Jeanne who with blinding reflexes and speeds slashed her sword in a uppercut motion slicing the Prowler in half was blood rain down onto the street and onto Jeanne. Jeanne shivered in disgust being covered in Demon blood before watching Angels fly down and kill a few blue skinned Phantom Demons as the Trauma roared in anger before grabbing one Angel and crushed his torso causing blood to explode out of his body and mouth.

The Trauma lifted the lifeless body of the Angel and tore off the bent armor and began to devour the corpse and licked it's bloodied lips before being shot by Angels with their gun-spears irritating the Demon who roared at them before violently attacking the Angelic warriors. Jeanne was seen watching the battle as Humans ran away in terror helpless to oppose the two warring factions before a Legionnaire Demon wielding a two handed axe eyed her and roared at her catching her attention before he charged at the Witch.

Jeanne flicked the blood off her blade and took stance as the Demon charged at her with it's axe raised before a clustered crashed through a building and into the Demon leaving a burned bloodied mark in the street. Jeanne eased her stance before turning around to see the Trauma lifting a bus filled with people and gave a mighty roar while being surrounded by Prowlers and other Demons.

Jeanne shook her head and took stance but noticed a meteor cluster crashing down behind the Demons blowing them away but caused the Trauma to drop the bus and stumble forward before turning around with a angry growl. The Trauma Demon eyed the crater as Jeanne slowly approached the hulking Demon as it widened it's eyes with a devilish grin as a tall muscular man wearing a red hood, large pauldrons, one was a grey with a Demonic face the other was bronze in color and had strange angular runes carved on it.

The man's eyes glowed blue as the upper half of is face was masked in shadow while his platinum/white reached out from within the hood flowing in the wind from both sides of his head as he wore a large gauntlet over his left arm. The man's sword however was just are tall if not taller than him while it had a thick mass of steel with faces of both Demonic and those in agony. The Trauma slammed it's fists down and leaned forward roaring at the man who formed a displeased scowl while ripping his sword from the ground and took a single step forward to oppose the Demon.

But suddenly the Trauma roared in pain causing the man to raise a brow in confusion as Jeanne climbed on top of the Demon and leaped into the air with her sword raised over head before slashing down decapitating the Demon causing it's neck to violently erupt blood over Jeanne's body while she was seen in a crouching position. The man placed his sword over his shoulder forming a faint impressed expression as the Trauma's body fell forward forming a large puddle of blood near Jeanne who jumped on top of the Demon's back trying to keep her heels from being stained with it's blood.

Jeanne flicked the blood off her sword as she was still unaware of the man's presence before turning towards a horde of Demons who witnessed her kill a Trauma and roared at her defiantly as they charged at her one even gave a battle cry "FOR THE DARK PRINCE!"

Jeanne held out her arms and taunted with an annoyed tone "COME AND GET ME YOU FUCKERS, I'M IN THE MOOD TO KILL SOME MONSTERS!"

The stomped passed the Trauma's corpse catching Jeanne's attention as she turned her head towards him while he remained silent before slamming his sword towards the horde of Demons charging at the two as one a Shaman wielding a hooked staff grunted and warned "IT'S WAR TAKE COVER BOYZ!"

The Shaman ran behind a building for cover but the rest of the Demons were unlucky as the man now revealed to be named War slammed his sword down in their direction causing a large wave of blades to erupt from the ground impaling the horde of Demons. Jeanne grunted in shock with wide eyes and a gaping mouth as she witnessed the impaled Demon's bleed out their blood vaguely forming a river upon the destroyed street before the blades that impaled them that had a vague resemblance to War's sword violently sunk into the ground dropping the lifeless corpses.

War tore out his blade from the street as he turned his gaze towards Jeanne who eased her posture as she complimented in a respectful yet impressed tone "Nice magic trick, (steps off the Trauma's corpse) allow me to introduce myself I am Jeanne of the Umbra Witch Clan and you are?"

Jeanne approached War and was surprised to see that he was taller than her despite her own statue as a tall woman as War eyed Jeanne's sword and ignored Jeanne's introducing herself by questioning "Where did you get an Angelic sword Human?"

Jeanne frowned mildly offended to War ignoring her and claimed vaguely "It was a gift."

Jeanne and War's hair fluttered in the wind as they locked eyes onto one another intensely as the Shaman slammed his staff summoning more Demons and shouted "KILL THE HORSEMAN AND THE WITCH!"

War and Jeanne kept their intense stare as Jeanne complimented "Has anyone told you have you have pretty hair?"

War raised a brow in mild confusion as Jeanne took stance and teased "Let's deal with these naughty lil Devils first then, shall we?"

War scoffed in amusement before responding while taking a battle stance "As you wish."

The Demons charged at the duo with Jeanne kicking a Flea Demon into a Phantom guard knocking both a few feet into the air as time seemingly slowed as Jeanne jumped into the air slashed the Flea Demon in half in front of the Phantom guard before Jeanne impaled her sword into the guard's mouth killing him in midair. Time returned to normal as Jeanne kicked the guard's lifeless body with a powerful kick which caused the body to crash into the ground causing a small crater knocking back a few other Demons.

War was seen impaling a Flea Demon before spinning around and flung the Demon off his sword and into the face of a Legionnaire breaking his jaw as blood splattered out of his mouth as he fell onto the ground lifeless. War charged at another Demon and slashed it in half from the right shoulder to his left hip as his blood and organs spilled onto the ground while War sheathed his sword and tackled a Phantom guard.

War while using the Demon he tackled as a battering ram continued to charge through a large group of Demons while Angels were seen flying in impaling a few Demons with a few Demons impaling some of the Angels killing one another in the process. The Demon shaman snarled before retreating by teleporting away while War choke slammed the Phantom guard he tackled and stomped on his head caving in his skull before swinging his sword in a seemingly wild manner but with every swing he killed a Demon.

While War and Jeanne were seen fighting the Demons a lone Angel witnessed their skills in battle and flew down and attempted to attack War as well but was quickly impaled onto War's sword. War eyed the Angel who coughed up blood from underneath his helmets staining his golden armor before War gently laid him down and removed his sword from the Angel's abdomen and watched as the Angel reached his right hand out to him.

War sheathed his sword knelt down onto one knee and grasped the Angel's hand with his right hand and spoke with a respectful tone "Be at peace for you have fought honorably, Hellguard."

The Angel breathed weakly before slowly falling limp as War gently laid his hand onto his chest before standing up and quickly elbowed a Demon's face breaking his neck in the process and killing him instantly before War turned back to see Jeanne back flipping and kicking a Demon's spear off the ground.

Jeanne quickly dematerialized her sword and jumped into the air catching the spear in midair before dropping down and impaled a Demon through his chest making him roar out in pain "GRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Jeanne back flipped off the Demon and summoned her sword again and with fluid motion she dodged an Angel's spear before stabbing him through the throat before quickly blocking a second Angel's sword swing with her armored heeled shoes.

Jeanne turned towards the Angel with the sword and taunted "Really striking me from behind, have you no honor or decency?"

The Angel groaned in anger before noticing Jeanne's sword as his glowing blue eyes formed a sacred expression and said with a stuttering tone "T-t-the Angel Slayer…"

The Angel shoved Jeanne's heel away causing her to rip out her sword from the dead Angel and flip over the corpse before kicking it into the Angel with the sword before impaling her sword through the corpse and into the heart of the living Angel making him gasp in pain.

Jeanne swiftly tore her blade out of the two bodies of the Angels as she eyed her sword and thought to herself "Why would he be so afraid of you?"

Jeanne turned around to see War cutting a Angel's wings off before turning over and impaled his blade into the Angel's chest and before slamming his sword and the body onto a Demonic Prowler killing it.

Jeanne formed an impressed smirk before a large meteor cluster fell from the sky catching her and War's attention as it crashed down leaving a huge crater as a giant stone golem-like creature slowly rising up yawning in a tired manner. Jeanne whistled in an impressed tone as War sheathed his sword while the giant stone creature stomped away casually backhanding flying Angels and Fallen Demons equally giving little care or attention to the two warring factions, treating them both like annoying flies.

Jeanne raised her lower lip with an impressed expression and approached War and complimented "Big guy's has little interest in this whole mess."

War nodded silently in agreement before two more Trauma Demons were seen approaching the two as Jeanne sighed and mocked "They just won't give up will they?"

War formed a red glowing aura around his body as he erupted into flames before floating in the air and exploded into a large Demon-like creature wreathed in flame and carried a large curved sword of which was also made of fire before roaring at the two Trauma Demons catching Jeanne by surprise. War swung his flaming sword at a Trauma Demon which slashed off it's left arm and cauterized the wound immediately making it roar out in pain while the second Trauma tackled War in retaliation and began to slam it's fists down onto War's flaming chest.

The first Trauma snarled in anger before Jeanne with blinding speeds charging at it as it slammed it's fist down while she swiped her hand upwards cutting off it's last hand making it roar in pain before Jeanne jumped up beneath the Trauma's head and stabbed her sword through it's chin with the tip seen poking out of it's forehead. Jeanne tore out her sword from the Trauma's head and landed onto the ground as the body fell back lifeless while War punched a hole through the second Trauma over him making the Trauma give a painful gurgling roar.

War toss the Trauma's body off himself and sat up leaving the ground beneath him burning as he turned back to his normal form and was seen cracking his neck from left to right as Jeanne approached him and admitted "I must say Pretty boy, you've full of surprises…"

War turning his head towards Jeanne and questioned ignoring her previous admittance "Now how is it that a Human like yourself have… (grunts in pain and falls to knees) wha.. what is happening?"

Jeanne formed a confused expression as she witnessed War's body form a ghastly blue as he seemed to be weakened unexpectedly and heard him pant heavily while questioning "Are you alright?"

War slowly stood up and groaned lowly in frustration as more Angels and Demons battled amongst each-other as he spotted a female Angelic warrior who did not wear a helmet to cover her face as she slashed open a Fallen Demon's skull with her sword.

The Fallen Demon dropped from the sky and crashed through the roof of a building and was seen laying in the ruble lifelessly as the female Angel looked upon it with disgust before a larger heavily armored Angel approached her reporting "URIEL THE DEMONS ARE OVERWHELMING OUR FORCES!"

The female Angel breathed heavily as she spotted War and Jeanne forming a confused expression and questioned "Why is one of the Four here?"

The heavily armored Angel eyed War and Jeanne and responded "I… have no idea, Uriel… but judging by the Human's attire and appearance it would seem she's a fanatical follower of the Red Rider."

Uriel formed a suspicious expression before ordering "Hell's armies are our priority, but if the Horseman and his… witch follower continue to interfere with our war, order all our troops that they will be treated no different than the Demons."

Later with Jeanne and War the two were seen slaying more Demons along with any Angels that were foolish enough to attack them unprovoked before reaching a massive crater filled with lava as Demonic Prowlers swam in and crawled out of while one approached a large Angel whose wings were by far the largest amongst his kind. The Angel quickly turned around swinging his long katana like blade across the Demonic Prowler's waist cutting the beast in half and scowled in disgust revealing he had a singe eye with the other being covered with an Angelic eye patch magically covering over what seemed to have been a scar.

The Angel flicked the blood off his blade before looking around to see the hordes of Demons butchering his people and feasted upon their flesh even during the still on going battle he flew up into the sky and began to survey his surroundings .

But as War and Jeanne approached the crater the Angel spotted them while War instantly recognized him and thought out loud "Impossible… Abaddon, what is this where are my brothers?!"

The Angel now revealed to be named Abaddon had a mixed expression of shock and dread as he said "This cannot be…"

But a Fallen Demon spotted Abaddon and immediately flew straight for him and tackled him as Abaddon struggled to get the Demon off him it bit down onto his right armored arm making Abaddon cry out in pain "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!"

But as Abaddon swung his sword at the Fallen Demon it reacted quickly by grabbing his wrist and stretched it out keeping him from retaliating before Uriel flew towards the crater and gasped in desperation before calling out "MY LORD!"

Uriel flew towards the Fallen Demon and slashed the back of his neck killing it instantly while Abaddon watched it fall into the lava below as he vaguely questioned with an angry tone "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?! THE SEVEN SEAL WAS NOT BROKEN!"

War grunted in pain as he fell onto one knee as Jeanne noticed again while a giant gauntlet reached out mere moments after War fell onto one knee as Uriel noticed and reached out to Abaddon and shouted in desperation "ABADDON!"

But the gauntlet clenched it's hand into a fist crushing Abaddon as Uriel widened her eyes and turned towards War and demanded with tears running down her face "WHAT IN HEAVEN'S NAME HAVE YOU TWO DONE?!"

War responded in a strained tone "I… (Jeanne backs away recognizing what he was saying) answer the Call!"

The gauntlet pulled down as a towering skyscraper sized Demon rose up roaring before using his right hand to grab an Angel crushing it instantly before tossing aside the corpse while Uriel flew back ordering her large Angel companion "YOU ORDER ALL TROOPS (points at the giant Demon) AVOID THAT DEMON!"

Uriel's companion nodded before her and Uriel retreated from the area as the giant Demon snarled in disappointment before seeing War and Jeanne which caused him to grin sinisterly before leaned down towards the duo and roared at them in as a form of challenge to fight him.

War stood up and unsheathed his sword as Jeanne questioned "So am I correct to assume that was a 'request' for a duel?"

War nodded silently as Jeanne formed a pleased smirk and took stance and responded "Good I needed something big to kill."

Standing on top of a building roof the Demon Shaman was pointing at a large hulking Demon carrying a giant Demonic gun known as a Legion Boltspitter barking orders "YOU THE MAD QUEEN WANTS THIS CITY'S SKIES CLEARED OF THE PIGEONS!"

The Legion Boltspitter formed a sinister grin while looking ahead to see the Towering Demon which caught the attention of the Shaman who also turned to heard the towering Demon straightened himself and gave a sinister chuckle "Hehehahahahahaaa Straga will crush you both!"

The Shaman gave a sinister grin before finishing "You've got your order you lumbering brute, I will seek out the Horseman and the Witch and I take what precious trophies they might possess!"

The Towering Demon revealed to be named Straga lifted his right fist into the air and punched the street near War and Jeanne causing a huge Demonic energy wav to knock the duo back while a trail of lava followed War who avoided the homing attack as Jeanne dematerialized her sword and summoned a giant hammer in it's place. Jeanne slammed the hammer's head onto the street causing a huge shockwave which had an affect of disrupting Straga's homing attack which caught his attention as he attempted to backhand Jeanne away with his left hand.

But Jeanne swung her hammer into Straga's wrist knocking his hand into a building as he quickly reacted by slamming his right fist downwards onto Jeanne who dive rolled out of the way as Straga's fist slammed onto the street blowing her into a car denting it inward before War power jumped at Straga's face.

War struck Straga's chin leaving bloody cuts as Straga retaliated by head-butting War down into the street as his body left debris flying into the air as War groaned lowly in annoyance before Jeanne stood up from the car and shouted while her hair extended and formed a giant magical seal "PDEE BARMA!"

And descending from the seal was a giant humanoid insect themed woman whose head crest was similar to that of a crescent moon but the two ends met as the woman wore a red dress while Jeanne's hair snapped off her body surprising Jeanne as the giant woman crossed her arms staring down at Straga with a unimpressed expression.

Straga raised a brow as his pointy ears rose up as he cracked his knuckles and said while forming a sinister grin "Finally Straga can have some fun!"

The giant woman uncrossed her arms and held up her fists and responded with a cold tone "Greeeeeeat an idiot who refers to himself in third person, well then allow me to introduce myself (punches Straga's face) I am the Demoness Madama Styx, one of the daughters of Madama Khepri!"

Straga stumbled back while readjusting his jaw and chuckled in amusement before he and Styx began to throw a series of powerful punches that each time the two struck each-other caused loud booming sounds but as the fight continued it caused a storm from their natural Demonic energies with red and purple lightning striking all around the city. The storm that two battling Demon's caused lightning to strike buildings, cars not even living creatures were spared as Humans, Angels and Demons alike were killed by the opposing powers of Straga and Styx with some humans staring up into the sky to see a swirling vortex looming over the area where the two giant Demons were fighting.

War was seen watching Straga and Styx's brawl as Straga was seen grabbing Styx by the shoulders and manhandled her, crashing her through a few buildings before she struck Straga's neck with a powerful kick knocking him head first into a building as Styx stood up onto her feet and shook the debris off her body.

Straga chuckled out of enjoyment to the duel before getting up with himself and Styx circling one another as Jeanne's hair magically formed crow-like wings as War noticed and questioned with a confused tone "What kind of Human are you?"

Jeanne turned towards War and responded "Funny I could ask you the same thing pretty boy."

War placed his sword over his shoulder and firmly stated "I am not a Human."

Jeanne raised a brow and responded with a playful tone "Could've fooled me with your looks handsome."

War turned away and changed the subject by questioning "Tell me Human how did you come to have such powers?"

Jeanne responded while eyeing Styx strangling Straga who retaliated by shoving her off him "I am apart of a clan of Demon worshipers, we are known as the Umbra clan."

War had no show of recognition of the Umbra clan and responded "Strange I have never heard of such a Human clan, yet you also fight Demons while worshiping them?"

Jeanne nodded and responded "Lil Devil need to be reminded of the pecking order every now and then, can't let them overstep their end of our contracts."

Styx was seen pulling Straga's face into her knee before slamming her right elbow down onto his neck making him roar out in pain "RAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOGGHHHH!"

Straga reacted by throwing his fist in an uppercut motion punching Styx's chin causing her to jump into the air before Straga tackled her into a nearby skyscraper and began to repeatedly punch her in the face as Jeanne flew up into the air with her hammer. War power leaped onto a building rooftop as Jeanne slammed her hammer into the side of Straga's head stunning him for a moment as Styx took the opportunity to head-butt Straga's face causing his skull-like nose to bleed while hissing out in pain.

Styx raised her fists overhead before slamming her fists against Straga's chest sending him flying into the crater of lava underneath the building where War stood who took this chance to jump off the roof and gave a loud battle cry while plunging his sword into Straga's right eye "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH!"

War gouging out Straga's eye made the gigantic Demon roar out in pain as blood oozed out of his eye which War bakcflipped and was prepared to finish off the Demon but he once again had a ghastly glowing aura making him weakened in midair as Straga noticed with a grin before quickly swatting the Horseman into a building.

War was forced to drop his sword into the crater of lava as he struggled to stand thinking out loud with a weakly tone "The law… has been broken…"

Straga's hand broke into the building and picked up War stating "And so have you Horseman!"

But Styx charged at him but Straga snarled and summoned a giant spiked mace and smacked the side of Styx's head cracking the crest upon her head so much that a large portion broke off as she was seen falling into a building while Jeanne flew after Straga who smacked her aside with his mace. Jeanne was seen flying across the city as Straga looked down at War as he defiantly tried to release himself from Straga's grasp but the Demon grinned sadistically before slowly clenching his hand into a fist as War yelled out in defiance but ultimately was crushed in his hand.

Straga's hand was bloodied from crushing War and merely tossed the lifeless mangled corpse into the lava below before approaching Styx while Jeanne was seen regaining her footing in the air before flying back towards to fight Straga once again. Straga dematerialized his mace and grabbed Styx by her throat and began to brutally punch her face over and over until Styx was seen bruised and bloodied while blocking a strike from Straga with her forearm though she seemed too weak to continue fighting Straga who took notice to her weaken state.

Straga chuckled sinisterly before dragging Styx by her leg and tossed her into the crater filled with lava while she erupted out screaming in agony before Straga dropped into the lava and planted his heel onto her head and slowly pressed her down burning her as he formed a sadistic snarling grin.

But Jeanne was heard shouting "NOOOOOOOOO!"

Jeanne using her hammer struck Straga on the back of his head with enough force to caused him to stumble away with his foot removing off of Styx's head who erupted out of the lava with burn marks over her face and body while she desperately crawled away onto a street safe away from the lava. Styx was seen breathing heavily in a weakened tone while her skin began to form a silky cocoon over herself as Jeanne was distracted by fighting Straga while she was clearly becoming weaker before the Demon Shaman was seen approaching the battle's location with caution.

The Demon Shaman leaned his head from behind the corner of a building and saw Jeanne being smacked out of the air by Straga as she was seen crashing onto the street as debris flew up into the air while Jeanne was dragging towards the Shaman.

Believing this was an advantageous moment for himself the Shaman quickly jumped out of behind the building and slammed his staff down forming a Demonic magiocal seal beneath Jeanne pinning her in place while her power was leeched from her body and soul making her scream out in pain "EEEEEEYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

The Shaman formed a sadistic grin before retreated by teleporting away as Jeanne stumbled to get up as she noticed her hammer was gone and seemingly the rest of her weapons with the only exception being her sword, the Angel Slayer. Jeanne panted heavily in a exhausted manner before flying back up into the air and continued to fight Straga who took advantage of her weakened power by merely blocking her attacks with heavily armored hands.

Straga indulged Jeanne to keep striking him until finally he swatted her away with his backhand taunting "Straga finds you to be annoying as a gnat!"

Jeanne crashed into a building and struggled to stand as she thought "Madama Styx must be too weak to up hold our contract right now…"

But suddenly Straga's mace crashed through the building nearly hitting Jeanne as he stared up to see Straga with his face shadowed while only his left eye burned brightly with a hellish fiery glow as Jeanne formed a terrified expression as Straga held up his mace mocking "FOOLISH HUMAN, STRAGA WILL PUNISH YOU FOR SUMMONING AN ABYSSAL GIANTESS TO FIGHT STRAGA!"

Jeanne stood up defiantly and responded with a cold tone "Come and get me you big son of a bitch!"

Straga swung his mace down crushing Jeanne to death with a single strike while his mace crashed through the building effortlessly as Straga smirked confidently as he raised both hands into the air and gave a loud and victorious roar while other Demons watched "GGGGGGGGGREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHH!"

The Demons that observed Straga's victory reeled their heads up and have their own victorious battle cries "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!"

Unknown location

After an unknown period of time had passed Jeanne was by unknown means was resurrected within a realm of lava, molten rock and fire as she was seen stripped of her clothes left naked and chained to two stone pillars with War chained up to her left also stripped of his armor with the only exception being his left gauntlet. Jeanne's vision was blurred as she was too weak to even speak while she heard the metallic footsteps of someone wearing armored heals while she lifted her head up slightly to see a woman wearing a black skimpy outfit as her hair was magenta in color that flowed as if it acted as if it was underwater and occasionally moved on it's own accord.

Jeanne groaned lowly as the woman was heard mocking War "War, what pathetic fate have you brought upon yourself brother?"

War growled lowly in annoyance and responded with a stern tone "Watch your tongue!"

The woman was seen lifting up War's chin and responded with arrogant prideful tone "I may be least favored of the Horsemen but at least my tongue didn't get me chain like dog!"

Jeanne panted heavily as a deep voice was heard "Fury, approach us!"

Jeanne turned her head upwards to see three stone heads gaping mouths that burned with eternal fire and fumed smoke constantly before she rolled her eyes upwards and fell unconscious.

Unknown amount of time had passed as Jeanne would periodically wake up hazy even woke within a completely different realm within a wooden throne room with undead spirits with one sitting upon a throne with a crown as he explained "The Horseman's soul wasn't too damaged from the battle, but the Human's soul seems weakened, or sapped of it's former strength, I cannot guarantee her survival, Panoptos."

A figure with tar black skin, his hair was that of black flames that did not fume smoke while his short sharp wings were incapable of flight yet he floated naturally without their use and a gauntly in appearance.

The figure assumable named Panoptos turned his head towards Jeanne as his glowing blue eyes would appear and disappear at random while stating with a sinister giggling tone "Hehehehehaha! Good let her suffer for playing a part in her own race's demise! But should she survive the Abyss with War she will be summoned with her master before the Council!"

Jeanne fell unconscious again as an unknown period of time had passed once again and while in her slumber she felt an icy chill around her causing her to tremble before feeling someone lift her up and kept her warm with their body heat.

Jeanne remained in this state of limbo for an untold period of time before finally she awoke within the hellish realm with the three stone heads unchained and still naked though she attempted to extend her hair magically it proved fruitless as she thought to herself "What is going on… my magic has seemed to have been nullified!"

Jeanne turned to see War on one knee before the three stone heads who was like herself left naked as the right head's mouth erupted speaking "The law is clear: When the Seventh Seal is broken, Four Horsemen shall ride forth and punish the wicked, be they Sons of Mens, Lords of Heaven or the Dregs of Hell, all upon the Earth shall be judged, and the pact forged anew!"

War was heard panted heavily in anger as Jeanne was seen sitting up while the head accused "YOU FORGET YOUR POST, HORSEMAN! YOU FORGET THE LAW! NO CALL WAS GIVEN!"

Jeanne rubbed her head feeling weak as the head continued "YET THE DESTROYER MARCHED, AND THERE YOU WERE FOUND WITH YOUR COHORT, UNDER HIS BLACK BANNER IF THE CLAIMS ARE TRUE!"

War snapped back with a held back angry tone "To hell with your claims! (gestures right hand towards Jeanne) This Human and I had just met, but I affirm my previous response: (looks up at the three stone heads in anger) The Seals were broken! I was summoned!"

The head of War and Jeanne's left erupted fire out of it's mouth while questioning "But where are the other Horsemen? Were they not 'summoned' as well?"

The right head responded "The Seven Seals are hidden, as they have been since the pact was forged eons ago, all of them intact! There was no call."

The left head accused "You two aided the Dark Ones! The Witch's Demonic powers only confirms this to be true! You two broke a sacred covenant that was doomed Mankind and threatened the Balance! Do you still deny it?!"

Jeanne groaned lowly in annoyance as War responded with a calmer tone "When I rode… Heaven and Hell were already at war, Abaddon was there, he KNEW something!"

The right head claimed "Abaddon fell fighting off the chaos you two unleashed!"

War grunted in anger before raising his head snapping back "I fought powerless against the Demons! And still you accuse us?!"

The Center head finally spoke deflecting War's response "Your defeat proves nothing! Likely the Destroyer cast you aside when he was finished with you!"

The left head spoke again "You have both defiled the Law, you will be punished!"

War was silent as Jeanne snapped back "HEY I DIDN'T START THIS WHOLE APOCALYPSE I WAS JUST MINDING MY OWN BUISNESS BEFORE THAT CROWFATHER…"

War turned his head towards jeanne's direction upon hearing the Crowfather being mentioned as the three heads all demanded in unison "WHAAAAAAAAT?!"

The center head questioned "You confess that the Crowfather has had a hand in these events as well?!"

Jeanne crossed her arms and responded "All I know is that he sent me there when all hell broke loose!"

War turned back towards the Council and offered "I serve only the Council, only the Balance, as the Horsemen always have! (gestures hands towards himself and Jeanne) Send us back, we will punish those responsible!"

The right head responded with an unconvinced tone "How? What hope do you have against the Destroyer's armies? You are powerless!"

War responded with a certain tone "Then we will fail, and the Demons will have carried out your sentence."

The Council was silent upon War's offer as Jeanne sighed in annoyance and thought to herself "Oh great… I'm going to strangle that old man for dragging me into trouble and I'll have to teach Cereza a lesson in listening to strangers!"

The Center head finally spoke "Very well, you will return to the Earth, but you will be watched come forth!"

War stood up and approached the Council's pool of lava as Jeanne was magically lifted up into the air by force towards the pit as she watched War willingly sink his left hand into the pool as he made painful cries "GRRAAAAHHH ERAAAAAAAGHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH!"

The lava turned black as War lifted his hand while Jeanne was magically forced to shove her hand into the lava making her scream out in pain "NYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAAAAAAAAAA!"

The lava once again turned black as Jeanne quickly snapped her arm out of it and watched as the Council summoned a green soul and cast it into her arm healing the burns within mere seconds.

Two beings with tar black skin and blue eyes, and black flaming hair, appeared out of the duo's hands both resembling the creature Panoptos, with the one around War was a male with six eyes with long spiny limbs and spider-like fingers and longer sharp wings. The other creature with Jeanne was a female version of the previous but with four eyes along with a bust and curvy hips with short though rounded wings, yet also seemed more skittish and more timid and afraid in the Council's presence.

Then one of the heads spoke stating "The Watchers are bound to you, they will ensure your loyalty!"

The male Watcher circled around War and taunted "Remember that, or I will really get under your skin!"

The Watcher raised his hand forming a blue magical seal causing War to groan painfully before falling to his knees dragging his left gauntlet across the dirt while the female watcher stuttered "My… my apologies…"

The male watcher sighed in annoyance as he stated "They are dogs on leashes sister, stop treating them like with kindness!"

The female watcher trembled in fear of her brother as she raised her hand and did the same to Jeanne that her brother did to War making the Witch fall to her knees with clenched hands that dug her nails into her palms causing herself to bleed.

But one of the heads shouted "ENOOOOOUGH! RISE AND ARM YOURSELVES!"

Suddenly fire erupted out of the three stone heads as the flames surrounded War and Jeanne the flames caused War's armor materialized over his body as well as Jeanne's red skin tight cat-suit over her body before the fire died down leaving the duo's body smoking.

Shortly after the ground trembled as War's sword slowly rose from the pit of lava as one of the heads presented "Chaoseater, the angry blade that thirsts for destruction!"

War approached his sword and pulled it out of the pit of lava as it for a brief moment burst into flames but it's power like War himself was stripped as the flame quickly died out as War twirled it in hand before sheathing it on his back.

Jeanne watched as War turned away from the pit and walked away as her sword rose up from the pit as another head questioned "Tell us Witch, how did you come to possess the Angel Slayer?"

Jeanne raised a brow and responded "My father won it in a duel with a Lumen Sage and gave it to me when I came of age."

Jeanne approached the pit of lava and aggressively tore her sword out before turning away with an annoyed expression to her current predicament as a small swirling vortex of blue souls flew down into both War and Jeanne leaving one of the heads to explain "The souls of the dead will be your currency, some enemies are likely bought than killed."

Now prepared Jeanne and War stood before the Council as one of the heads instructed "Seek the Demon Vulgrim, (War forms a disapproving frown) few can afford his services, but perhaps you can strike a bargain."

War looked at the heads and crossed his arms while questioning in a disapproving tone "The Council confers with Demons now does it?"

One of the heads explained "Since the truce was broken, some Demons have fallen from the Destroyer's favor. Vulgrim is one such outcast, he has long sought and audience with us."

Jeanne looked at War in confusion as she questioned out loud "How long have we been here?"

But suddenly both Jeanne and war burst into flames while sinking down a portal beneath their feet leaving the Council completely alone before three humanoid figure formed in front of each head. One was man wearing a translucent robe that shined like glass, whose skin was a pale grey and was lightly muscular while his long hair was a dark shade of purple while wearing blue glowing lipstick.

The second figure was a woman with ivory stone-like skin with golden tendrils of hair and had glowing blue eyes while a red translucent frabric floated and coiled around her shoulders and arms, while the last figure was also a woman who appeared almost identical to the previous woman. But unlike the first woman the second had charcoal colored skin with red glowing eyes, wearing skull rings on a few of her fingers, wearing a long black dress that dragged onto the surface of the molten ground and generally was the tallest of the three mysterious figures.

Suddenly the three figure's eyes all changed and glowed a bright yellow as the man groaned in both pain and annoyance complaining towards the tall woman "Ohhhh what does he want now Sheba?"

The tall woman sighed in annoyance and responded "I don't know what father wants from us Loptr..."

All three figures knelt down onto one knee as the pit of lava turned black and become tar-like as it boiled and pop before a vaguely humanoid and muscular figure slowly rose up made from the tar-like substance before opening it's for yellow glowing slanted eyes.

The figure's form strangely began to slowly flake away into nothing as he questioned with a deep, calm tone of voice "Am I interrupting something?"

Loptr scoffed in disgust and stated "Always, Old One."

The mysterious figure's eyes glowed brighter as Loptr's's veins turned black as he grunted in pain before falling down onto all fours while woman with ivory skin begged "OBLIVIO ENOUGH!"

The mysterious figure now revealed to be named Oblivio eyed the woman as his eyes stopped glowing allowing Loptr's pain to halt as he questioned "As you wish Jubileus, but never presume to command me in the future."

The woman now revealed to be named Jubileus lowered her head as Sheba stated "We were passing judgment on War and Jeanne, she claim that the Crowfather had a part with her arrival."

Oblivio waved his hand passively and responded "I am already aware of the Crowfather's involvement."

Loptr eyed Oblivio and questioned "And didn't think it necessary to inform us old man?"

Oblivio raised a finger and warned "Careful now, Loptr you do not wish to feel such pain again would you? (Loptr groans lowly in spite while Oblivio placed his arms behind his back) I did not inform you three because you have not fully regain my trust nor my confidence."

Sheba lowered her head in shame while Jubileus shook her head in disapproval but changed the subject "We sent them to Earth to deal with Lucifer's puppet."

Oblivio nodded and responded "The Destroyer has been a great asset to my ally, now explain to me why you chose to send them to disrupt Lucifer's plans and risk the life of War? He could be of greater use to be if his full potential was unlocked!"

The three deities remained silent as Oblivio noticed and stated "Ohhh you three are treading on very dangerous territory, if War should fall I will hold all responsible for his death."

Jubileus questioned with a concerned tone "What about Fury, Strife or even Death could they not suit your needs?"

Oblivio's right arm fell off as he explained "Death is dead while Strife eluded me so far, Fury remains the only other living Horseman, and I have lost track of Cereza after my Avatar of Chaos' demise."

Oblivio groaned lowly as he finished while his other arm fell off "I must return my conscious mind back to my body, this vessel has lost it's energy to sustain me."

Oblivio's body melted into the lava as the black tar-like substance dissipated and left the three deities alone with Sheba sighing in relief while Loptr pointed at her and coldly said "You did this to us Sheba!"

Sheba eyed Loptr and responded with a sarcastic tone "You acting like a fool was your own doing."

Loptr stood up defiantly as Jubileus stood up and held out her hand between him and Sheba as she instructed "My friends, we have much more important problems to deal with."
