1. Prologue

Hello everyone, UltimateDemonBeast65 here and I am back! I have been gone for a little while, dealing with various stuff surrounding my life and having a bit of writer's block. I have thought about my original story Infernal Tales a lot and while it was a story I was very proud of I acknowledge that there were some very poor choices concerning its writing, atmosphere and direction that my co-writer and I didn't really think hard enough on, and it became this grimdark cringy tale that felt out of place for something comedic like Helltaker.

So I decided I wanted to give this another go, write a new version of the story, one that is more fun and comedic while also having some serious moments but ultimately something that feels more in line with the setting. Initially, we attempted a story called Pantheons that included mythologies and legends from other countries and cultures other than just Christian folklore, but unfortunately we were overwhelmed and conflicted with all the lore and story-building we attempted to do, and felt like the story was becoming a big mess much like Infernal Tales. So we instead decided to look back at our original story and try to instead write something that would feel coherent and feel contained and easier to follow.

Thank you again Som3bode for helping me co-write this and adding your own creative expertise into the mix. I hope that this story can reach you all despite the hype behind Helltaker dying down and so without further ado, here is the first chapter of my new story, Infernal Ages.

---

The cosmos, the universe, reality, space-time. The existence we call creation has many names, but all of them have one thing in common: They were all conceived by God's greatest creations, mankind.

Earth is the home of the Homo sapiens that the omnipotent creator had so many plans for, and yet the immortality and paradise that they were given was taken away from them when introduced to the concept of sin. But Earth was merely the magnum opus of God and above it was the true Paradise, the celestial realm of Heaven. And within Heaven, stood a lone male angel with long black hair, yellow mystical eyes and wore a white and gold uniform with a cross and coat and of course bore a white halo over his head. The lone angel looking down upon the Earth, which had nearly its first few centuries. The angel sighed as he held in his hand a piece of fruit that glowed a brilliant light from its skin.

"Hook line and sinker.", He muttered to himself.

"Samael.", A female voice said from behind him, to which the male angel now known as Samael looked behind him.

The source of the voice was a female angel whose hair was black and long like his, but the ends of it were tied together. She also wore a white and gold uniform but also wore a hat and had blue eyes and had a halo of her own as it was mandatory of all angels of Heaven.

"Lucifer, what does the Morningstar want this time?", Samael asked in a dry tone.

"Is it true? That you defied the Most High?", the female angel now called Lucifer asked with an attentive glare.

"Nothing gets past you, does it?", Samael asked with a hint of snark.

"I am God's right hand, nothing happens in Heaven without my knowledge.", Lucifer stated in a condescending tone.

"Have you ever set foot down on Earth, Lucifer? Have you stood upon Her creation with your own two feet?", Samael asked back, slightly raising his voice but still sounding calm and in control.

"Why would I bother? My responsibilities lie here.", Lucifer replied in a cold tone.

"Yes, of course, you sit up in your office all day while the rest of us do the heavy lifting.", Samael said, shrugging as his tone became more and more snark.

"You didn't answer my question, Samael!", Lucifer exclaimed, raising her voice and showing a hint of anger.

"God tasked me with testing mankind's resolve and faith. And for my first assignment I went down to the Garden of Eden as a snake, coiled up near the tree of Forbidden Fruit waiting for me to take centre stage as the first antagonist of the story.", Samael explained.

"Yes, I'm well aware of how you convinced them to eat the fruit, Samael, I'm not blind or deaf you know! I see what goes on upon the Earth!", Lucifer spat at Samael, now really starting to lose her patience.

"Then you know why I chose to defy Her, to come to this decision.", Samael said as he slowly lifted his hand and grabbed the side of his halo.

Lucifer's eyes widened as she watched Samael carefully pull off the halo from his head and then gave it to the Morningstar in silence.

"Samael, what are you-"

"I don't need my halo down there. Besides, it was my price to pay for leaving.", Samael retorted in a somber tone. "She may be our mother and the one who created everything, but she doesn't know everything. I'm doing what I believe is right, maybe you should try and think about what you believe in for a change, Lucifer."

"I….will we ever see you again?", Lucifer asked, holding Samael's halo and still in disbelief.

Samael looked at Lucifer as he took off his shirt, coat and cross as his pants and boots turned from white and gold to black.

"Take care, big sister…"

Samael then after taking a quick breath leapt over the edge of Heaven, rocketing towards the planet Earth like a comet and averted his gaze as he began to enter its atmosphere.

---

Samael's eyes darted open as he quickly rose from the tree he had been sitting against, looking at his surroundings as he took small breaths, inhaling and exhaling as his mind adjusted to being awake again. He was inside a large forest covered in thousands of trees and other forms of flora, with the sound of birds humming and singing being heard in the distance by the now fallen angel.

Samael's hair was slightly longer and messier, he had some stubble around his face forming a crude and short beard and his eyes lost their mystical glow. He shook the brown trench coat he had on to make the leaves and dust fall off it, before brushing more leaves off his grey shirt and black pants. He sighed before picking up a water bottle from a brown backpack that was next to him and drank from it, soon freeing it from his mouth's grip, wiping the water off his chin.

"How long has it been? I stopped counting after 30,000 years…" Samael muttered to himself as he soon picked up the backpack next to him and started walking along an opening created within the forest.

Samael did a small amount of stretching as he kept walking towards a clearing within the large forest, and after a few minutes he could see what almost looked like a dirt road forming before him. He shrugged before he got closer and closer to the clearing, placing his foot on the dirt road that he had discovered, and then started to walk along it to find yet more road.

"What country am I supposed to be in? Last I checked, I was in Alaska, but maybe I took a wrong turn? Either way, there's a city nearby, and I need to restock." Samael said to himself as he finally came across a gravel road, spotting a few cars going by on it.

Samael walked opposite the gravel road, knowing that cars would be driving on its grey and yellow path. While many cars and trucks passed by him, with some even honking at him or trying to get his attention, he ignored them and focused on getting to civilization. About 30 minutes later, Samael had stopped in front of a large sign on the side of the road which led into a bridge that in turn led to the fallen angel's destination. He looked upon the metropolitan structure as he decided to finally cross the bridge, glancing back at the sign which read "Welcome to Vice City".

---

An alarm started to ring across the master bedroom of a certain household, to which a large, muscular arm slapped down on it to shut it off. A groan was let out of the owner of the arm, that being a muscle-bound man with short black hair and brown eyes, sat up from his slumber and tried to wipe out the sleep in his eyes. The man had a name, but his housemates chose to ignore it and instead call him by the title he was given upon the end of his crusade: The Helltaker.

He then felt a hand gently grabbing his forearm. It was coming from a woman who was on the other side of the bed. Her voluptuous figure was hiding underneath the sheets, but she had hearts floating around her head and had horns sticking out. There was also the pointy end of her tail coming from under the blankets. Her hair was white and had red eyes with her pupils being white hearts. She was a demon named Modeus, known for her lustful nature.

"I had a great time last night, big guy~", Modeus said in a tired yet sultry tone, rubbing Helltaker's forearm with her thumb.

"Me too, love.", The Helltaker said, before he affectionately rubbed Modeus' chin.

Modeus' face turned red as she giggled, then leaned up on the bed. The sound of crashing and banging could be heard outside the bedroom, causing the Helltaker to sigh in annoyance.

"Not again, this is the fifth time this week…"

Modeus then focused her attention on the bedroom door as well, though she was not as bothered as the Helltaker was. Another large bang was heard, then another preceded it and sounded much closer, to which the Helltaker put on his pants and walked over to the door.

"Judgement, stop trying to catch the rats in the wall!", the Helltaker yelled out.

"The High Prosecutor does not need mortal assistance to remove the pests from our property!", a loud female voice shouted back.

"I put traps and poison near the holes the other day! You're going to smash the walls if you keep doing this!", the Helltaker exclaimed in anger.

"We smell it! It's heading towards the kitchen!", a younger sounding female voice shouted, before heavy footsteps started to move about.

The Helltaker frantically started to dress himself as he quickly darted out of his bedroom and moved through the hallway of the second story floor, passing by some of his housemates' other rooms. One of them came out smoking a cigarette, smiling in amusement as chaos ensued under this household once more while exhaling a cloud of smoke. She had short white hair, with her left eye being covered.

"No smoking in the house!", the Helltaker called out as he ran past one of the rooms.

"Not like you'll do anything about it!", the one smoking yelled back, yet she continued to smoke anyway.

"Zdrada, did you use my vodka bottles to make molotovs again?!", another one of the housemates yelled from another room, having an annoyed female voice directed at the smoker.

"You're damn right I did, Malinka!", the one now known as Zdrada replied with a chuckle, turning to the one that called her.

"You know, vodka isn't even that flammable, right? That's just Hollywood bullshit.", the one Zdrada called "Malinka" retorted as she came out of her room while she was texting on her phone.

"We're demons Malinka, I don't gotta explain this shit.", Zdrada remarked as she exhaled another smoke cloud once more.

The Helltaker reached the staircases as he raced past another one of his housemates, a demon girl with white curly hair, small black horns, and glasses looking over some paperwork despite the current chaos that was unfolding, along with the fact that she seemed rather tired. She adjusted her glasses, then looked up as she noticed Helltaker coming down the stairs.

"I see you are finally awake now…", she said before yawning, "You should put a stop to that, but be sure to not forget about my coffee."

"Yeah I know, coffee.", the Helltaker said as he went into the kitchen where a dark-skinned girl with white glowing eyes, black barbed horns in a skimpy outfit with armour pieces was looking at the walls in the kitchen.

"Where did it go, Cerberus?!", the dark-skinned woman asked in a loud tone to three identical girls with dog ears who were sniffing the wall like a wolf hunting prey.

"There! No there! Up here!", Cerberus yelped as they pointed to a specific spot in the wall.

"Go and get 'em, you guys!", another woman in the room wearing sunglasses cheered on in encouragement.

"Goddamn it, can't you just let me take care of the rat situation in this household?! I had to go through some of my life savings the last time you tried exterminating the pests around here!", the Helltaker yelled as he pulled Cerberus away from the kitchen wall.

"If you had let me cast a spell to lure the rodents out of the wall, we wouldn't need to have resorted to this barbarism.", a prideful woman with hair done up in a ponytail and white curved horns stated as she crossed her arms.

"My house, my rules, especially when it comes to pest control." The Helltaker said before letting out a sigh. "Just please stop this nonsense and sit down, I have to make coffee and pancakes."

Modeus eventually came downstairs fully dressed with her favourite book in hand, Spider Season, and continued to read where she left off. Judgement crossed her arms and simply kept an ear for the rat while Cerberus was still sniffing.

"I was simply trying to avoid killing the rodent…" Judgement said with a small blush on her face. "I would not want the creature to suffer…"

"You pose more of a chance of killing the thing if you keep knocking down the walls, Judgement.", the prideful woman stated, as she started helping the Helltaker cook.

"Okay Lucy, that was uncalled for.", the one with sunglasses said while shaking her head in disapproval.

The prideful woman, Lucy or rather Lucifer, just rolled her eyes before flipping one of the pancakes.

"If you're that concerned, Justice, why not get the rat out yourself? Your precision would be able to let you grab it without damaging the walls."

The Helltaker looked at Lucifer before looking at Justice, before he let out a sigh again.

"I mean, if you can get it out without breaking the walls, then I guess there's no need to kill it."

"You can get it out alive, Justice?!", Judgement asked, sounding like she was almost begging her to save the rat's life.

"Yeah, I can totally do so.", Justice replied after a couple of seconds, giving Judgement a small smile.

Judgement's face lit up, looking somewhat adorable upon hearing Justice's answer.

"So they're finally getting the rat out of the wall?" The girl nicknamed Malinka asked as she went downstairs with Zdrada.

"Damn, it was entertaining seeing them try to get the rat out themselves.", Zdrada groaned.

"Look, just get it out or just leave it be." The Helltaker said as he started to brew the coffee.

"You know what to do, Justice.", Lucifer said as she started to serve up some pancakes.

"I'm on it.", Justice said as she opened a small bag of mixed nuts and placed some in her hand, going to one of the holes the rat made.

Judgement watched this curiously as soon after, a small head started to poke out of the hole and sniffed the air.

"Come on out. We're not gonna hurt you.", Justice said gently while placing her hand slightly closer to the hole, as she sensed the rat's head sticking out.

The rat began to slowly crawl towards the mixed nuts in Justice's hand. The rat squeaked as it started to nibble on the nuts happily, not caring about Justice's presence. Seeing the rodent eating out of Justice's palm made Judgement feel warm and fuzzy inside, the adorable nature of simply luring it out with the promise of food instead of poison.

"There you go little guy.", Justice chuckled as she then walked to Judgement with the rat in hand and passed her the bag of mixed nuts, "You can try to feed him as well Judgement."

Judgement blushed again as she slowly put some nuts in her hand and held it out to the rat, who sniffed the dark-skinned girl's hands. The rat looked up at Judgement before dipping its head into the new source of nuts. Justice's smile became wider as she then attempted to pet the rat's head with one finger.

"Uhh, ….what the hell is happening?", the girl nicknamed Malinka asked in confusion.

"Just let them be, Malina.", Lucifer said as she finished making another pancake. "I suggest grabbing a few of these pancakes before Cerberus snatches them all."

Cerberus in question was quickly devouring every pancake that came their way, using her three bodies to her advantage.

"Heh, well that's too bad.", Zdrada said with a shrug as she went by the window, continuing to smoke her cigarette.

"Does anyone actually want pancakes, or am I just making these out of habit now?" The Helltaker asked.

"We still like them!" Cerberus yelped.

"You don't count." The Helltaker stated as he finished brewing Pandemonica her coffee. "Here's your coffee."

"Thank you.", she says while giving Helltaker a small smile before taking a sip, suddenly her horns grew and her eyes became more slit. She had a twisted smile on her face as she turned to the Helltaker, "Hmm, seems that you got it right this time. But let's see how long that lasts."

The Helltaker let out a sigh of relief as he finished making a batch of pancakes and decided to sit down.

"You haven't forgotten what today is, right? What you're supposed to do?", Lucifer asked the Helltaker.

"I know, I said that we're going today, and I meant it.", the Helltaker assured, with a tired expression.

"Oh yes, an excursion to the shopping district of the city.", a new voice spoke, belonging to a girl with short black hair, blue eyes, and had a white halo over her head and was wearing a white and gold uniform.

"Almost forgot you lived here, Azazel.", Lucifer said with a hint of snark. "Do you intend on taking notes of everyone you come across, like last time?"

"I'm a Watcher, it is my duty." Azazel retorted as he made a small white notebook appear out of thin air.

"Oh hey, Azazel.", Justice greeted as she then took a pancake and turned towards the Helltaker, "Don't worry big guy, I'm looking forward to it later."

"You sure you don't want to come along, Malinka?", Zdrada asked as she finished smoking and got a pancake as well.

"There are plenty of things to do outside, Malina.", the Helltaker said.

"You mean besides looking at more crappy games? I'll sit this one out.", Malina said, sitting down and looking at her phone again.

"Well, it's your loss.", Zdrada chuckled as she roughed up Malina's hair.

"Anyone who's coming along with us, finish your breakfast, so we can get going." The Helltaker said as he started to eat as well.

"I've been ready to go since I woke up.", Lucifer stated.

"Because you get up earlier than the rest of us do.", Malina retorted.

"Judgement gets up even earlier!", Cerberus barked as they kept on eating their pancakes. "Sometimes with Justice too!"

"I'm ready to go as well!", Justice said before taking another bite out of her pancake before talking to Judgement, "Though who is going to take care of the rat? Or are you going to let it go?"

"I will need to take it to the park or woods. Putting it outside will only make it come out in the house." Judgement replied as she gently stroked the rat's fur.

"Makes sense.", Justice said.

The girls who were interested in going with the Helltaker finished up their breakfast and quickly got ready to go out to the city. Those that were going out then got in the SUV with Helltaker. Car rides with the demonesses and the angel at least weren't as chaotic as they are in the household, understandably restraining themselves knowing the risks of the road. About half an hour later, Helltaker and the girls reached the mall, which was quite large and tall, housing five floors on top and an underground floor below.

"Oh damn, this is one hell of a mall.", Zdrada said as she got out of the car and looked up to the fifth floor.

"Yes indeed.", Azazel said as she started to take more notes. "My research has led me to discover that the building was first constructed 20 years ago, being renovated and converted into a mall only 6 years ago from this day."

"Yeah, I know, I was born here.", the Helltaker said as he started walking towards the mall with the girls.

Cerberus looked around curiously, switching between walking normally to crawling and dashing about like a dog. Justice had tried to get the Triple Demon under control along with Judgement while Zdrada had taken out another cigarette to smoke. Judgement had quickly dashed off with the rat and let it go in a nearby park before racing quickly back to the others, with Azazel taking notes on how fast the High Prosecutor was moving.

"The building is quite reminiscent of the marketing district's tower in Pandemonium.", Lucifer commented.

"Huh, must be quite big then.", Justice stated as she thought of how the giant mall looked while still trying to catch Cerberus.

"You've been there yourself, Justice.", Lucifer said, looking at the Awesome Demon.

"Yeah, but she's blind!" Cerberus yipped as she dodged Justice's attempts at catching her.

"Come on guys! We're about to go inside!", Justice said while still trying to hold Cerberus, "Judgement! A little help, please!"

Judgement then summoned white chains from her body, which wrapped around Cerberus' three bodies before pulling them back.

"Hey! No fair!", Cerberus yelped as they tried to break free.

"Are you going to behave?!", Judgement asked.

"Yes, ma'am…", Cerberus said in defeat.

Judgement then let the Triple Demon go as they stood up and started to walk properly. Justice scratched her head, but she sighed in relief.

"Anyway, we should head inside now.", she said, turning her head towards Helltaker.

As the group walked towards the entrance, they passed by a certain individual in a brown trench coat who was sitting off in the distance eating a burger. Lucifer stopped for a split second, looking up at her surroundings as if she felt something.

"What's wrong?", the Helltaker asked.

"I feel something…something familiar…", Lucifer replied as she tried to concentrate.

"What is it?", Justice asked curiously.

"Something….ancient…", Lucifer replied as she looked around the mall before taking a few deep breaths. "Never mind, must have been my imagination."

"You, imagining things, Serpent? A truly foolish sight to behold.", Judgement remarked.

"Let's just keep moving.", the Helltaker said, scratching his head. "Otherwise, all the good stuff will be gone."

"Yeah, sure thing.", Zdrada said, then she sighed and put out her cigarette before catching up and entering the mall with the others.

---

Samael looked over at the mall that was in front of him before he finished his burger with a sigh. He drank more from his water bottle before returning to his thoughts.

"That presence I sensed before….it felt…like someone I knew…", Samael remarked before he slowly stood up and began to walk inside the mall himself.

Samael got into one of the elevators and headed up to the second floor, where several of the different shops, to which he took a look at his outfit and sighed.

"Why have I been reduced to looking like a hobo?", Samael said to himself. "But it's not like I'm dressing to impress."

Samael headed towards a supermarket on the same floor, going there to restock his supplies and food. Though it didn't look like it, he did have money and paid for his groceries before leaving and sitting down on a nearby bench, looking at the people coming and going throughout the second floor.

"These people…so oblivious to the nature of their reality, blissfully ignorant of Her existence and our kind, and yet many of them live fulfilling lives without that knowledge. They made this planet what it is today through their sins and mistakes, yet they were allowed to deny and reject Her. But my kind and I always knew, for we were created to serve Her will."

Samael's attention was suddenly gained by a particular individual to his right, a girl with white hair, small horns, an arrow-tipped tail, and shades. Samael stared at the girl with a puzzled look on his face. The girl in question was standing outside one of the stores with a man several inches taller than her along with having a muscular build and is wearing shades himself, but with circular lenses. Also accompanying them are three shorter and identical women that appeared to have dog ears and long white hair, while also having the same tail as the girl with shades.

"Those girls….their energy feels….foul yet not malicious…", Samael thought.

The girl with shades then started to look around those she was with, focusing some of her attention in Samael's direction, before turning back to tap the large man on the shoulder and seeming to tell her companions something. The large man in question looked at the girl with the shades, conversing with her until he turned around to look at Samael, who was surprised, to say the least.

"They spotted me?", he thought. "Then my suspicions were true…they're demons…."

---

"Who or whatever is over there, I just got the feeling that Lucy had earlier…", Justice stated then looked directly at the Helltaker, "I was sort of feeling it already as we were heading up here, but I didn't want to say anything."

"What do you feel exactly?", the Helltaker asked with a brow raised.

"I also feel something…ancient.", Justice replied, "But it also feels...angelic, and I'm not talking about Azazel."

"An angel here?", the Helltaker asked, surprised.

"Where?!", Cerberus growled as she looked around.

"It was on our left.", Justice said as she turned her head again to where she started to get these strange feelings from.

The Helltaker looked around, eyeing a few different people in the crowd. He then saw what looked like a man with black, long, messy hair in a brown trench coat.

"Over there."

"What do they look like?", Justice asked.

"Like a hobo.", the Helltaker replied.

"What?", Justice asked confused but still got the feeling as she stared at the person, "Maybe they are in disguise…?"

"That or they just look like that." The Helltaker pointed at the individual he was talking about, to which Cerberus looked over too.

"We smell it….angel…but old…."

"I'm not sure who they could be.", Justice said, "But they could be extremely dangerous."

"Should we ask Lucifer?", the Helltaker asked.

"I feel like we should, this can't be ignored.", Justice replied, turning back to Helltaker and Cerberus.

The Helltaker nodded as he took out his phone and texted the girls upstairs. After a few minutes, Lucifer, Judgement and Zdrada with the Queen of Hell immediately reacted to whatever Justice sensed, but this time her eyes widened in shock, as for a brief second the sensation she felt was quite intense.

"Hey, are you okay?", the Helltaker asked with concern.

"I wasn't imagining things….he is here…", Lucifer said quietly as she wiped the sweat from her brow.

"Who is 'he' exactly?", Zdrada asked.

"That hobo!" Cerberus exclaimed, pointing at the man in the brown trench coat.

Zdrada turned to the one Cerberus was talking about but had a look of disbelief.

"Seriously?", she asked, "Doesn't seem like much trouble to me. Unless you can smell his stench from all the way over here."

"I wish we were joking, Zdrada.", Justice said, "But whichever angel it could be, can spell bad news for us."

Azazel, who was on the third floor and returned to the second floor with the others, was also in disbelief, though far more visibly nervous.

"The Accuser…." She whispered faintly.

"Who is it, Azazel?", Justice asked tensely.

"Figured it was him.", Lucifer said, crossing her arms.

"The Accuser? That's him over there?!" Judgement asked in disbelief.

"Calm down Judgement, let's not cause a scene in public." The Helltaker said before looking at Lucifer. "Lucifer, is he an enemy?"

"I don't know…. I have not encountered him throughout my entire tenant in Hell. He left Heaven, but he is not a demon." Lucifer replied.

"Well, why don't we just go ask?" Azazel suggested as she walked towards the trench coat-clad individual.

"Don't just approach him, we have no idea whose side he's on!", The Helltaker exclaimed as he and Judgement went after her.

"Shit…", Justice groaned before following them while trying to get in front of the group.

Lucifer gritted her teeth in frustration before she followed them, to which Cerberus dashed after them too. Zdrada rolled her eyes and walked as the last one to catch up. Azazel was now right in front of the man, seeing that his hair was long and messy, had yellow dim eyes and stubbles around his face.

"Excuse me.", Azazel said, to which the man then looked at the Curious Angel and sighed before staring her down.

"Here to rat me out to your superiors, Grigori?", he asked in a dry tone.

"So you know who I am then, sir?", Azazel asked.

"One of Samyaza's little Watchers.", he retorted, before he noticed the others approaching. "Looks like we have company."

Lucifer was of course the one to move towards Azazel and the man first, who was definitely surprised to see her. He then looked away before letting out a small chuckle.

"How ironic.", he said, before looking back at the Queen of Hell. "Never thought I'd see you again, nor did I at first believe the news when I heard it."

"Samael.", Lucifer said with a cold tone as she glared at the man she referred to by name.

"Hello, big sister.", Samael said with snark.

"BIG SISTER?!", everyone except Lucifer and Judgement shouted loud enough that several patrons of the mall looked at the group in confusion before they went back to their shopping, while Azazel looked confused at this statement from Samael.

"Is he serious, Lucy?", Justice asked in a more quiet tone as she turned to her best friend.

"You didn't tell her about me? I'm heartbroken.", Samael said sarcastically.

"The Queen of Hell is your elder sister?", Azazel asked as she was taking notes. "But this isn't possible, a demon cannot be the sibling of an angel, especially one as infamous as you."

"Haven't you heard the term "fall from grace" before, Grigori?", Samael asked with a brow raised, unable to tell if the Curious Angel was being serious.

"Oh, come now, you believe in that fairytale as well?", Azazel said with a small chuckle. "Falling from grace is just a fable the High Council created to prevent us from disobeying God. I'm sure Her Majesty and Hell are merely creating propaganda in hopes of spreading more corruption."

"Is she always like this?", Samael asked Lucifer.

"Clearly they wanted to hide the truth from the younger angels.", Lucifer replied with a sigh.

"But why exactly did you decide to leave Heaven, Samael?", Justice asked.

"A matter of opinion over how to guide humanity.", Samael replied as he swept his hair back. "I thought I could better help here than in Heaven, so I left."

"And how's that been going?", Zdrada asked with a chuckle.

"You tell me.", Samael replied as he stretched his arms, gesturing at the mall and all the people there.

"So your little quest to prove Her wrong failed?", Lucifer asked with a condescending smirk.

"I never said that.", Samael said with a groan. "Aren't you the one who failed? You started a war with God that has consistently ended in stalemates."

"At least I'm not hanging around a shopping mall looking like a registered sex offender." Lucifer retorted back venomously.

There were mixed reactions to this comeback from Lucifer. The Helltaker was shocked and unable to form words, Judgement gritted her teeth, both in anger and embarrassment in Lucifer's words. Azazel was taking more notes while Cerberus were all on the ground laughing. Zdrada was also laughing really hard with her gripping her stomach and Justice both hated and loved the retort that the Queen of Hell made, covering her mouth with a fist while trying to contain a chuckle.

"Wow, you're really mature, aren't you?", Samael retorted sarcastically.

"Well, your fashion sense is atrocious, not to mention your poor body odour.", Lucifer stated with a smirk.

"Oh, I'm sorry, my travel attire isn't up to your fashionetta standards! Why are you even here, Lucifer? Thought you were running an entire realm!", Samael asked, crossing his arms defensively.

"I am running a realm, idiot! But there is such a thing as "downtime", not that a hopeless crusader like yourself would understand!", Lucifer yelled angrily.

"Besides, this big guy right here made things more interesting for us.", Justice said, patting Helltaker on the back, it was a little more force than necessary, but it didn't break anything inside him.

"Ouch!" The Helltaker cried out as he rubbed the sore spot on his back.

"Heh, my bad.", Justice chuckled while Zdrada eventually stopped laughing and stood straight.

"Ohhhh…that was too good…"

"Are you done?" Samael asked, raising a brow.

"Hehehe…y-yes.", Zdrada replied and cleared her throat.

Samael sighed before looking at the Helltaker.

"Alright, rewind and freeze. Why are you on Earth? And why are you with this human?"

"This man is my property." Lucifer retorted, both trying to assert her place in the household and not wanting Samael to specifically know the reason.

"At least that was she says.", Zdrada scoffed then gestured to Helltaker with a nod, "He went down to Hell to have a harem of demon girls. He's the reason why we are on Earth in the first place."

"Zdrada!" Lucifer yelled as her face went red.

"I'm sorry, what?" Samael said, as his eyes widened in disbelief.

"You heard me right.", Zdrada said, then smirked, "Lucifer especially enjoys her time with the big guy here."

"Shut up before I rot your soul, Zdrada!", Lucifer threatened angrily.

"What's the matter, big sister? Too ashamed to admit you and this man are a thing?", Samael asked.

"We are not a thing, he is my slave! My concubine!", Lucifer retorted.

"But you still admit to sleeping with him.", Samael noted.

"We all do!", Judgement clarified.

"Yeah, hence why it's called a harem.", Justice stated.

"Not me, I am here to study demons for a thesis I am writing!", Azazel clarified as sweat ran down her face.

"She's seen it all!", Cerberus yelped as they circled the Curious Angel.

"Damn right she has.", Zdrada said with a grin.

"How did he manage to survive inside of Hell? It's meant to slowly eat away at a living mortal's soul.", Samael said with a brow raised.

"He just had a lot of will for the time he was in Hell.", Justice answered, "He was strong enough to push around giant rocks and smash the skeletons that were down there. He even survived the Sin Machine when Judgement fought him."

Samael looked at the Helltaker curiously as he concentrated and felt a surprising amount of energy coming from the big human.

"You have a lot of spirit, I can see why your will was strong enough to survive Hell."

"Uh, thanks…" The Helltaker said, scratching his head.

"Did you know we were here?" Lucifer asked Samael.

"No, sure as hell didn't think I'd run into you here or anywhere on Earth.", Samael replied. "Did you know I was here?"

"Not initially, but we started to feel your presence as we spent some time here.", Justice replied.

"Fair enough.", Samael said. "And what are your intentions for this planet?"

"Intentions?" The Helltaker asked.

"Are we here to harm or corrupt mankind?'' is what he's wondering.", Lucifer said.

"Why would we do that?", Zdrada asked while squinting his eyes at him, "We're a part of this guy's harem, after all."

"And that automatically ensures there are no ill intentions?" Samael asked.

"They haven't done anything evil since they got here, just made a mess of my house, broke my possessions and ate through my savings and budget." The Helltaker said, crossing his arms.

"Okay, so not evil, just really shitty housemates.", Samael said with a shrug.

"Exactly.", Zdrada said with a wide smile, "Like when I smoke inside the house, I'm not sorry for that at all. There are also times when some of us break stuff in his house or damage the house itself. Cerberus messes with the neighbours, and Pandemonica likes breaking this guy's bones whenever he gets her coffee wrong. Yeah, overall, just some really shitty housemates."

"And they stab him." Judgement added. "And get him into trouble with the local authorities."

"Even sometimes when we go out, we have to make him pay for damages that we cause.", Justice admits.

"He knew what he was getting into when he agreed to take us to Earth.", Lucifer assured confidently.

"I don't even….what…?" Samael said in disbelief.

"I mean, what do you, or he, really expected when you have demons under the house?", Zdrada asked.

"Harem is usually a sexual connotation, I thought it would be more intimate.", Samael said.

"They engage in intercourse." Azazel clarified with a nervous smile. "I have it all recorded for my thesis."

"YOU WERE FILMING US/THEM HAVING SEX?!" Lucifer, the Helltaker, Justice and Judgement yelled either angrily or in disapproval.

"You know, I get you're a Watcher, but you don't need to watch EVERYTHING that happens!" Samael said, cringing at the thought of the Curious Angel's antics.

Zdrada couldn't help but laugh again, this time at the expense of Lucifer. Cerberus was laughing too, while Azazel was trying to come up with an excuse.

"Your life is madness, human, madness.", Samael said with a look of pity and exhaustion.

"Damn right it is!", Zdrada said, laughing in-between words.

Samael stood up, unsure what to make of this situation. Before he could say any more, an explosion was heard in the distance that caused the ground to slightly shake. This was enough to make the girls all drop their silly banter and antics and immediately observe their surroundings.

"Did you feel that?" Samael asked the others.

"I did. Justice, do you?", Lucifer retorted before looking at the Awesome Demon.

"I definitely felt that.", Justice replied and became more alert.

Azazel then closed her eyes and concentrated as her body glowed a slight blue. She then opened her eyes and had a serious look on her face.

"Something has appeared in the city. It looks elemental in nature."

"Elemental? Like a golem?" Samael asked.

"Let's find out.", Justice said as she made her way outside the mall as fast as she could.

Judgement and Cerberus followed quickly after, while Lucifer simply created a red portal for her, Azazel, Zdrada and the Helltaker to warp to the location of the explosion.

"Are you coming?" Lucifer asked Samael.

"I have my own transportation, thank you.", Samael replied.

"Guess we'll meet him there…", Zdrada said before entering the portal.

Samael watched as Lucifer and company went through her portal, while Samael in a flash of yellow light warped to the site of the explosion. There were a few craters in the streets and a much larger one in front of the city hall. As the smoke cleared, Samael and the harem could see what looked like large stone humanoid figures with what looked like runes carved into them.

"Golems. Well, I'll be damned." Samael remarked.

"Stone automatons.", Lucifer said, looking at the golems. "They reek of Fae magic."

"Fae?" The Helltaker asked, confused.

"No time for an explanation! Now is the time to strike!" Judgement yelled as she summoned her white chains and charged at the golems.

"Right!", Justice said as she also then attacked the golems alongside Judgement.

The golems turned to the direction of Judgement and Justice, with three of them charging at the two demons. Judgement struck the first blow by swinging one of her chains at the legs of one of the golem, tripping it over before she then landed a right hook on its chest region during mid-fall, then quickly dodged an incoming swing from one of the other golems and wrapped a chain around its arm, slowly seething into its stone form with the chain's white-hot metal. Justice then charged in and punched the golem that Judgement had wrapped her chains around multiple times, knocking off bits of stone from the golem's body before completely knocking it down to the ground. She then moved onto another golem, leading with a kick straight to the other golem's chest, which was enough to stagger it. Justice then continued to pummel at it, breaking more stone off of its body. Cerberus then raced into the fray, moving quite nimbly as one of the golems tried attacking the Triple Demon with green glowing projectiles similar to bullets, only for her to dodge each one before knocking the golem over with a flying kick. Cerberus was about to land a finishing blow before she was punted off the golem by another golem, who helped their comrade as they started firing at the Triple Demon and the other members of the harem, to which Lucifer created a red barrier in the shape of a pentagram which deflected some green projectiles back at the stone automatons.

Zdrada then got out two of her knives and set both of its blades on fire before charging in at one of the other golems close by. She slashed at her target's legs before jumping up and cutting at the chest, however, her attacks seemed to have minimal effects on the golem. The golem then started to strike back at her with punches, but The Bitch Demon managed to dodge out of the way of its strikes. Zdrada put one of her knives away and shot a fireball at the golem that was attacking her. The fireball exploded as it landed on the golem's chest and appeared to do more damage than her flaming knives did on the golem. Zdrada smirked as she then shot more fireballs at the golem, which made it more difficult for the golem to try and hit Zdrada as she kept her distance and more pieces flew off of the golem.

"Need any help?" Cerberus asked as she appeared next to Zdrada, as one of her bodies knocked down another golem and tried clawing away at it, while the other body moved the Bitch Demon out of the way of a projectile fired by another of the stone automatons.

"I guess you can say that!", Zdrada said as she steadied her feet after one of Cerberus' bodies had got her out of the way of the golem's projectile.

She then charged up another fireball, but this time it was larger, and she waited for the other Cerberus to get away from the golem. Cerberus moved out of the way so that Zdrada could attack. As soon as she saw her opening, Zdrada shot the larger fireball at the golem, and there was a bigger explosion as soon as it hit the golem's right arm as it attempted to block the fireball. Its attempt was futile as the fireball nearly destroyed the entire right half of the golem, which seemed to be enough for it to be dead. The stone automaton fell to the ground and made no attempts to get up.

Meanwhile, several golems surrounded Lucifer, the Helltaker and Azazel and started to open fire, shooting green projectiles at a rate similar to gatling guns, only for Lucifer to surround herself and her allies with red pentagram barriers which allowed the Helltaker to drop and roll out of the way and grab Azazel to move her out of the golems' range. Lucifer then channelled red demonic energy into her hands before stretching her arms out and spun the barriers around as they soon were launched at the golems like chakrams, slicing and cleaving through a few of them with ease before she leapt over one of her barriers and then incinerated a larger golem with crystalline armour with a red energy wave.

Another golem had tried to shoot a singular yet bigger green projectile at the former High Prosecutor. Justice only scoffed as she sensed the projectile coming towards her and quickly conjured demonic energy that covered her left forearm. She then punched the projectile straight back at the golem, to which a large chunk was blown off of its chest, but it still tried to retaliate by trying to slam Justice into the ground with a hammer fist as she ran towards it. Justice had dodged the golem's attack before jumping to strike with her left fist that was still covered in demonic energy to completely destroy the golem's head in one punch.

"Where the fuck did they even come from?!", Zdrada exclaimed as she shot another fireball to assist Cerberus as they were fighting a crystalline-armoured golem.

"I have a hunch, but best to worry about that after!" Lucifer exclaimed before she blocked a golem's shoulder charge with a pentagram barrier and made them ricochet into a nearby wall before throwing the barrier at the golem and slicing it in two.

Cerberus dodged more projectiles from the golems before rushing at them from both sides with two of her bodies and then had the third body kicked them to the ground to which Judgement leapt into the air, wrapping one of her chains around her fist and slammed into the golem, blasting through their torso with the chain enhanced punch.

"Euugh!"

Judgement was caught off guard by this sudden exclamation of pain as she then tore into the golem more, to see that there was a small man inside the golem who had fair skin, a brown beard and long hair and wore a grey and green outfit with runes on them.

"A gnome? These golems are piloted by gnomes!" Judgement shouted before pulling out the gnome from what looked like the golem's cockpit.

"Wait, what?!", Justice exclaimed before checking the opening from where the golem's head was destroyed, and she also found a similarly sized man within the golem but wore an outfit of grey and blue. The gnome inside looked towards the hole and tried to shoot a beam of magic at Justice, but she got her head out of the way at the last second.

"S-stay back, demon!", he yelled as he shot another beam and tried to retreat within the golem, but Justice was able to grab him out of the golem and restrained him from trying to attack.

"Just as I thought, the Fae are responsible!", Lucifer stated before she blasted away two golems and then telekinetically tore the gnomes out of them.

The Helltaker and Azazel were both caught amid the girls fighting the golems, while Samael was simply dodging and evading every attack thrown at him by the golems, but without fighting back.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you helping them?!", the Helltaker yelled at the fallen angel.

"It's not my fight, is it? Besides, they're doing fine on their own.", Samael replied, rolling his eyes.

Before the Helltaker could respond, he quickly pushed himself and Azazel out of the way of an incoming attack from a knife as a small group of green-skinned humanoids around similar height to an average human appeared, having pointed ears and a slightly elongated nose appeared bearing knives and other weapons and wore armour and tunics similar to the gnomes.

"Goblins.", Samael said in a deadpan tone.

"Goblins are real too?!", the Helltaker exclaimed.

"Yeah and really fucking nasty!", Samael replied.

The goblin in the front tried swinging their knives at the Helltaker, who was able to dodge them. Despite his large build, the Helltaker was quick on his feet, no doubt from all the sprinting and weaving he had to do to survive Hell. The goblin in front of him tried to stab the Helltaker, but he dodged and grabbed their arm, twisting it behind the green cretin to make them drop their knife before punting them away with a kick. Another goblin charged at the Helltaker, but he weaved out of the way before landing a strong left hook to their jaw, knocking them back a fairway.

"Well all be damned, this guy is no pushover.", Samael remarked.

Another goblin who had a spear tried to use the weapon's reach to their advantage, trying to land several jabs on the muscle-bound mortal, but the Helltaker's reflexes were too sharp as he snatched the spear away and threw it away. The goblin in anger then decked the Helltaker right in the face, knocking his shades off and attracting the attention of his harem.

"Shit!", Zdrada groaned as she saw that Helltaker was hit by the goblin.

She shot a fireball to stagger the golem she and Cerberus were fighting before making her way towards Helltaker while dual-wielding her knives. The Helltaker put his hand up to signal to Zdrada that he was okay as he picked up his shades, seeing one of the lenses was shattered. He then looked at the goblin who hit him, who was stunned to see that the human he attacked was more annoyed than hurt.

"You hit like a pussy." The Helltaker remarked before landing a powerful backhand on the goblin, breaking their jaw and spitting blood out of their mouth as they fell to the ground. "You throw a mean hook, but you're nowhere near as strong as demons are…"

The other goblins started to show visible concern or even fear upon seeing this human break one of their allies' jaws with nothing but the back of his hand. The gnomes both within and outside of the remaining golems were also shocked at the sight of the human's unexpected capabilities, but they continued to try and fight the demon girls. Zdrada herself grinned as she saw Helltaker defend himself and then fought alongside him against the other goblins that were present in the area. Some goblins had tried to attack the group using their spears, but Zdrada was able to dodge or destroy the spears using streams of fire. She then slashed at the closer goblins with her knives. The Helltaker dodged some of the other goblins' strikes before he started to land several hooks on each of them.

"I could use some help here! One goblin is fine, but a group of them is a problem!"

"I'm on my way!", Justice called out as she knocked out the gnome before racing over to Helltaker and Zdrada to deal with the goblins.

While the Bitch Demon was fighting off a couple of goblins behind the Helltaker, a goblin had tried to stab Helltaker with a spear, but Justice was fast enough to punch the goblin several feet away from him. However, even more goblins and other golems were closing in on them, trying to hack and slash at the demon girls and the Helltaker. Meanwhile, Lucifer and Judgement had taken care of a fair few golems, ripping out their pilots and restraining or killing them, while Samael all watched this unfold in front of him.

"Looks like they all can handle themselves pretty well, I am surprised by the human's resilience and strength." Samael thought. "They've stopped them from attacking citizens as well, as I don't see any casualties in the area. Maybe there's hope for them yet."

Despite the losses that the Fae creatures have endured in the past hour, they still insisted on attacking the group with whoever was left. As Zdrada was beginning to get surrounded, she conjured a flaming mandala before unleashing a ring of fire that shot scorched those that approached her, though the golems weren't as affected by the flames. One of them had tried to shoot Zdrada with green projectiles, but Zdrada managed to block them with a shield of fire. Another golem that was behind Zdrada was about to punch her, but Justice swiftly countered the punch with her own, causing the golem to stagger backwards and Justice finished it off with a megaton punch, splitting off the top half from the bottom half of its body.

Cerberus had then rushed about at blinding speeds, hitting and swiping at golems and goblins with fast and powerful claw swipes while Judgement flailed her white chains around, burning her enemies with their sinful glow, while also landing strong punches and kicks on those who got too close. Lucifer then summoned a much larger red pentagram over her head and rained down several red energy blasts down upon her enemies, grinning in sadistic glee as she vanquished more of the Fae.

"These guys won't give up, will they?!", Zdrada exclaimed as she stomped on the ground and shot geysers of flame that threw a golem off of its feet before shooting a large fireball that nearly destroyed the whole thing.

"Nope! They just keep on coming!" Judgement yelled as she threw a golem into another group of golems and goblins, before Cerberus leapt into a small group of goblins and started to claw into them.

"Well shit!", Zdrada groaned before dodging an attack from a goblin's blade before stabbing her own knife straight through the goblin's head.

Just as they thought things were starting to die down, the ground started to tremble and knocked bits of debris up into the air. It stopped for a few seconds but then started back up again, then stopped and then appeared as if it were the footsteps of a giant.

"What was that?" The Helltaker asked in horror.

Samael's eyes widened, as he took a more serious stance on the situation. Azazel closed her eyes and glowed blue again before opening them and widening her eyes as well. Justice, after destroying another golem on her own, had gritted her teeth and turned to the direction of where the tremors were coming from.

"What did you see?" Samael asked Azazel.

"A golem…but as tall as the surrounding skyscrapers…." Azazel replied with a look of dread running across her face.

"Shit…", Zdrada groaned as she turned in the same direction as Justice.

"Indeed, this just got a lot more difficult…", Justice said as she released some tension from her neck before getting ready to fight the giant golem that Azazel saw.

"This can't be ignored.", Samael said, brushing off some dust from his coat. "Do you have anything else up your sleeve to deal with this new problem, big sister?"

"I could stop holding back and use my true power against it, but doing so would damage the buildings and most of the city.", Lucifer replied as she let out a sigh. "It's time. I didn't wish it to come to this, but I don't have much of a choice unless you have a way of stopping it without causing needless destruction."

Lucifer then snapped her fingers as a black and red satellite phone with Lucifer's emblem engraved on the side was summoned, making some of the girls surprised. Justice knew who she was going to call as she heard the sound of Lucifer's snap, but Zdrada herself was a bit puzzled on who'd she call for aid.

"She's calling them? Even though it risks Hell learning of her absence…" Judgement remarked.

"Calling who?" The Helltaker asked, confused.

Lucifer then dialled the phone before putting it against her ear, waiting for it to pick up.

Back within the brimstone and fires of Hell, there was a military base that resembled a pentagram that sat a couple of miles away from the capital city. The soldiers of this base had the same sharply-dressed attire as the citizens but were also wearing armour pieces on top of their clothes, some varying from having minimal and simple armour to almost being fully covered from head to toe. But the other thing that all the soldiers had in common was their metal masks that covered their faces. Though they only wore them like the soldiers that were out in the streets of Hell patrolling for criminal activity.

In one of the high parts of the base, sat a group of fifteen people at a table that also resembled a pentagram, but only had the star. These fifteen people also wore armour over their blazers and dress pants, but they had signifiers that they were high in rank, unlike the other soldiers within the base. They sat down to discuss a few things for their required weekly report, albeit most of them rolled their eyes and were doing their best to not sound bored. For the past couple of centuries these soldiers within the base were either training, maintaining equipment, or managing some paperwork, but never saw any real action other than occasionally apprehending or killing small petty criminals among their kind, unlike in the past where they fought the forces of Heaven. But then one of the general's phones that was on the table started to ring.

"Is that who I think it is?", one male general asked.

"What could she want?", a female general questioned, "Is it time?"

"Just be quiet and let him answer.", another male general stated, before giving a nod to the third general that appeared to have a darker skin tone compared to the others in the room. The dark-skinned general then answered the phone.

"Yes, Your Majesty?", he asked.

"General, the time has come.", Lucifer said on the other end. "Code Legion is in effect. Head to my coordinates as soon as possible."

"Understood. We'll assemble as fast as we can and make our way towards you, Your Majesty.", the dark-skinned general replied before hanging up the phone.

"Well… I guess it really is our time.", the first general to speak up stated.

"Indeed.", the female general said.

"I'll gather a squadron to go out and deal with the threat.", the dark-skinned general stated, "I will also assist Our Majesty."

"Very well, good luck out there.", another general in the room said, before the dark-skinned general left the room to go down and assemble some soldiers.

The dark-skinned general made his way to the outside of the barracks as fast as he could. Some questions ran through his mind as he saw the coordinates the Queen of Hell gave him, but he knew that business came first and that his questions were irrelevant to both himself and the situation at hand anyway. Other than his dark skin, he appeared to wear a closed black blazer along with the top part of the red under shirt along with the black tie sticking out, though, the sleeves were almost rolled up to his elbows. He also had a red armband that had the Roman numerals for seven on his left arm and wore black pants. The armour he wore was spaulders, metal plates for his upper leg, and greaves. His white hair appeared to be in a short mohawk with his black horns curving upwards and had white eyes.

He eventually made it down to the firing range, as he knew that's where a soldier he was looking for would be. Alongside the others who shot various magic blasts out of their hands, the one the dark-skinned general was looking for, was firing a gun that shot out normal magic blasts but at a much faster rate and did just as much damage against the targets. The demon with the gun appeared to have an open trench coat that had scale armour with a dark red pentagram painted on the back, wore shoulder guards, knee guards, and had clawed gauntlets. The attire he was wearing consisted of the red under shirt with the black tie that also had two silver pins, black pants, and black shoes. His skin was pale like the majority of demons in Hell along with having red eyes, as for his black horns the first half seems to be protruding outwards before pointing straight up.

"Attention!", he called out to the soldiers, to which they turned around and saluted the general, but the other one made his gun vanish before saluting the general. The dark-skinned general nodded, "At ease. Brandish, I need you."

"Yes, sir.", the demon known as Brandish said as he then followed the general, "What is it Chariot?"

"Our Majesty needs help. Code Legion.", Chariot replied as Brandish's eyes widened, and his face broke into a smile.

"YES! It's about time!", he yelled, to which Chariot mentally rolled his eyes and sighed. Brandish then straightened up and cleared his throat.

"Anyway, both you and I will gather the others in our squadron, then we can make our way to Our Majesty's location.", Chariot stated.

"Right away, Chariot.", Brandish said as he ran off and got out his phone. Chariot himself got out his own phone and called for another member he knew. Eventually, the person on the other end answered their phone, though they answered with a grunt rather than giving him a verbal reply.

"Zepar, meet with me on the west side of the base. Code Legion.", Chariot said to which Zepar grunted again before hanging up and eventually those that were in the squadron were gathered to where Chariot had told them to.

The rest were three other members of the squadron that showed up other than Zepar. Two of them appeared to be fraternal twins that were the shortest among the group, but the female twin seemed to have thighs that were slightly larger than the male twin. They had a lower ponytail that reached the top half of their backs and had short horns that curved towards the back of their heads. Their armour consisted of plated shoulder guards, rerebraces, bracers, faulds that were connected to their belt, and greaves that covered their knees and feet. The twins were both wearing black blazers with one middle button partially closing their red under shirts but did not have the black ties that came along with it and wore black gloves.

The only other female in this group had an open black blazer with the red under shirt revealing the top of her rather large breasts and had full black gloves. She also wore high heel boots, but they were covered by plated armour that went all the way up to her knees. The other pieces of armour she wore were on her shoulders, with a red flaming horse being painted on both of them. Her hair was also kept in a ponytail but was tied slightly higher and ran down further on her back and her black horns were medium and were curving upwards.

Zepar himself was the largest and most muscular of the squad, and also unlike everyone else, had worn clothes and armour that were coloured red with the armour being of a darker shade and already had his mask on which was also coloured red and had a singular slit for him to see. The armour that he is wearing are shoulder plates, greaves that covered his feet and knees, and had full metal gauntlets that reached to his elbows. The bottom half of his blazer was closed, with the top half showing his black under shirt. He had hair that was a bit unkept but on the left side of his head was a braid and his horns were slightly wavy and pointed outwards. In his right hand, he was wielding a double-headed axe.

"So are we finally going to see action as you guys did back then?!", the male twin asked excitedly, but then his sister punched him on the exposed part of his arm for his lack of manners, "OW! Siga, you asshole!"

"Just shut the fuck up, Apoy!", Siga exclaimed, "Chariot was about to talk."

The group knew where this was going between the two, so before Apoy was about to throw a punch himself, Zepar grabbed both of them by the hands and lifted them in the air. The one in red then nodded at Chariot so that he could speak. Chariot nodded back.

"Our Majesty needs assistance as the threat appears to be on Earth.", Chariot stated with the other members except Zepar widening their eyes, "I'm not sure why she is there, and I'm sure you want to ask, but that is none of our concern. Let's move out and eliminate the threat."

"Yes sir!", the other members of the squad said before Zepar finally let the twins go from his iron grasp. The rest of the members then materialized their masks on and Chariot opened a portal to where Lucifer had told them to go, then the squadron entered through.

---

Lucifer soon hung up the phone and made it disappear as she looked at Justice.

"It's done. They should be here soon."

"Who will be here soon? Who did you call?" The Helltaker asked.

"I'm guessing reinforcements.", Samael said, crossing his arms with a look of interest.

"From the phone she had summoned, she called for the Hell Knights.", Justice clarified, to which Zdrada had turned away from the group and gritted her teeth with a groan.

"Why did she have to call for those bastards…?", she thought angrily.

"Hell has knights? I thought those skeletons were the foot soldiers there." The Helltaker said.

"Those are just sentries and border guards raised from the bones of lost mortals." Judgement stated. "The Hell Knights are the true military force of our realm."

"The Hell Knights also took part in the war against Heaven and Hell.", Justice added, "Members were made of some of the most powerful demons Hell had to offer."

Before the Helltaker could ask more, another large shake was felt as the titanic golem that Azazel had sensed was now within view and walked slowly towards the harem and Samael. The screams and cries of various mortals who either fled or failed to flee were heard, shocking and angering Samael.

"Damn it! I was careless! I should have tried to find the golem before it could take any lives!" He thought angrily.

While everyone was preparing to attack the new threat, a large red portal manifested behind them and caught everyone's attention.

"What's that?" The Helltaker said in awe

"Looks like the cavalry's here.", Justice replied as they all watched the newcomers' entrance.

Chariot and the other Hell Knights that he had gathered came running out of the red portal with their weapons and magic at the ready. They all saw the corpses of goblins and the destroyed golems that laid waste in front of them, but then they looked up to see the golem that was as tall as the skyscrapers in the city.

"Holy shit!", both of the twins exclaimed as they saw the golem, but then turned to Chariot who were dual-wielding sickles imbued them with magic before dashing towards their target. Zepar also charged towards the golem with his axe, while Chax conjured magic and summoned horses that were made of volcanic rocks and wings of fire before flying towards the golem as well.

"Hey, you want to do what we have done before, right?". Brandish retorted with a grin as he summoned multiple floating firearms from the pentagram on his back before holding a light machine gun in his hands, "Well you better not blow this you two!"

Apoy and Siga stared at Brandish firing his guns as he started to run at the giant golem, blasting off some pieces, but the damage seemed minimal. The two of them then gave each other a nod and both covered their forearms in fire and followed their superiors into battle. Chariot jumped up high and towards the golem's chest, slashing at it multiple times as the magic imbued sickles travelled through it. Chax made her mount fly towards the golem's head and made it spray magma on top, the effects of the magma were hardly noticeable as well. The golem had tried to swipe at Chax out of the air, but she was able to fly out of the way and continue shooting streams of fire and magma at the golem's head, continuing to distract it. Zepar dashed towards the golem's legs with his axe in hand, but as he ran, he created spectral clones that dashed ahead of him. The clones then exploded as soon as they got close to the golem's foot and a couple jumped on their upper legs, powerful enough to blow off some pieces, but the golem was still operational. Even so, Zepar tried to hack at the golem with his axe with powerful swings.

Finally, the twins had charged into the fray and blasted fire projectiles at the golem, which Justice had rushed in to help the Hell Knights by charging up demonic energy in her fists and punched the golem on the legs as well, trying to break the titan piece by piece. Judgement, deciding to act, summoned two of her white chains as she leapt into the fray and started whipping and flailing them at the giant golem's body while Cerberus moved at blinding speeds and dodged a barrage of green lasers that the giant golem began to fire at her and the others, to which Lucifer created a pentagram barrier over her and the Helltaker, who watched in amazement at his friends and the Hell Knights' abilities.

"So this is the power of Hell's military might.", Azazel said, watching in amazement.

Chariot backed away from slashing the golem's chest before landing several feet away from it to fire a magic blast at it instead. Judgement summoned a white magic circle behind her and fired a barrage of white chains like they were bullets at the giant golem before dodging a punch from the behemoth, however, she could not avoid the next punch and was sent flying a far distance only to be caught by Chariot. He then placed down Judgement gently while still focusing his attention on the golem.

"Are you alright?", he asked while watching his soldiers still trying to destroy the golem.

Judgement looked at Chariot, giving the General a cold glare.

"I'm fine, just stay out of my way!", she yelled before she dashed towards one of the giant golems' legs and wrapped her chains around it. Chariot stared at her blankly before moving on and continuing to fight the golem.

Cerberus meanwhile sped around the battlefield, dodging a few green lasers from the golem, before she and her bodies did different things. One body moved Brandish out of the way of one of the lasers, another ran up the giant golem and tried clawing at its head, while another landed on one of the horses Chax had summoned. The Cerberus body on the flying horses turned and waved at Chax, who then turned around to see her.

"The Gatekeeper is up here too?", Chax thought before speaking out loud, "What is it, Cerberus?"

"Hi!" Cerberus said in a childish manner before smiling.

"H-hello…?", Chax said quizzically as she made her horse shoot more fire from its mouth, but then the golem brought up its arm to try and swipe at her, so Chax had to dodge the giant stone hand that struck at the building behind them. Cerberus' body quickly dodged the stone hand before she leapt onto the back of the horse Chax was on. The female Hell Knight sighed in relief as she saw that the Gatekeeper was able to dodge the attack before refocusing on trying to take down the golem.

"Can't catch me!" Cerberus yelped before pulling one of her eyelids down and stuck her tongue out at the giant golem. Chax slightly smiled at Cerberus' gesture towards the golem before conjuring up dark magic and blasting it straight at the golem's chest.

Samael had been reckless and indifferent. Because of this, he didn't have the foresight to see that the Fae would send a larger, more dangerous golem their way, and now the citizens of Vice City are in danger. Instead of helping Lucifer and her allies fight the smaller golems and goblins, he just watched, acted no better than the ones in Heaven who did nothing but watch and never took action. He cursed himself before he darted off.

"The building next to the golem was hit. I heard screams before! People are hurt, and I just let it happen!" Samael thought as he darted through various lasers and projectiles to try and reach the building.

"Hell Knights! I need your help! I only ask one of you to accompany me to the building to our left to rescue the injured!" Samael exclaimed.

"Go ahead and help him, Zepar.", Chariot said over comms as he heard Samael's voice, with Zepar giving a grunt in response before meeting up with Samael.

Samael looked at Zepar before nodding and gesturing to enter the building with him. Zepar nodded and followed the angel inside the building. When they entered, they could see goblins were already inside, rounding up humans that were injured or not caught in the crossfire. Fortunately for them, none of the goblins have noticed the Hell Knight and angel enter.

"Shit, they're taking hostages." Samael said as he scanned the area. "We need to take them out without the humans being harmed. Can you handle that, soldier?"

"Yes.", Zepar simply said as he sneaked to another part of the room, before summoning a spectral clone to another side of a room and made it knock something over, hoping to get the attention of the goblins.

The goblins looked in the direction of the sound and uttered a few words in a different language, leading to some of them going to investigate. Samael weaved around the shadows cast by debris before approaching three of the goblins from behind, carefully identifying the humans they had in their grasp before moving towards them. The goblins spotted Samael and one of them tried to attack him, but Samael dodged them and quickly kicked the first goblin towards Zepar, who then used an overhead slash to split the goblin in two pieces. The red Hell Knight then rushed at another goblin and decapitated its head, he then turned to the last one and shot a magic blast from his arm, which then obliterated the goblin into nothing but a crimson mist.

"You have skill, young man. What's your name?", Samael asked.

"Zepar.", he answered after a couple seconds of silence, but then he looked up to hear other goblins.

"More of them." Samael said as he quickly leaped into action, first striking one of the goblins in the stomach with a kick then dodged the knife of another goblin and then quickly struck them in the side before blasting them with a flash of yellow energy. Samael turned to face two other goblins who fired a barrage of arrows from magically enhanced crossbows they were wielding, only for the fallen angel to dodge each arrow shot at him before he appeared behind the two goblins and snapped his fingers. The goblins were confused, but soon found themselves hit from every angle as if Samael had hit before, but time was too slow for them to perceive the damage done to them.

The goblins dropped to the ground, to which Samael looked further into the building.

"There's more people ahead. And I sense something else, a stronger power than the golem outside."

Zepar responded in a grunt and nod, but he signalled for the first group of civilians to stay where they are and stay quiet before moving to where Samael was. Samael made a dash for it as he darted through the building, dodging and taking out goblins by warping around and striking their weak points, before checking on the civilians as well. Though Samael couldn't see Zepar's face as he was wearing a mask like the other Hell Knights, the crimson Hell Knight was surprised at Samael's power. But Zepar snapped out of it and continued to help out in dealing with the civilians.

"The gnomes and goblins are just foot soldiers and pilots. A High Fae needs to be the one in charge.", Samael thought as he stopped in front of a closed door, sensing a large source of mystical power behind it. "Ready for this, Zepar?"

Zepar looked at Samael and gave him a nod, to which Samael kicked down the door before a powerful green shockwave was unleashed, blowing the fallen angel and Hell Knight back a few feet. The red Hell Knight quickly stood back up and took a defensive position as he looked at what was in the room. Samael himself also got back up, ready to fight whoever struck the first blow. The figure that the both of them saw standing in the room, was a goblin with a long, dark purple robe and hat that had gold highlights. The goblin himself was holding a large ornate staff in its hand that had an orb that was glowing green energy, and then gave a mad grin towards his two new adversaries.

"Oh, what a surprise! I certainly wasn't expecting the Accuser himself to be here!", the goblin mage said, almost sounding like he was excited, "Though I do find it questionable that you are siding with demons. Most unusual indeed…"

"Why are you in this city, goblin? Last time I checked, Avalon wasn't at war with mankind." Samael said, glaring at the goblin mage.

"But we are, Poison of God. Haven't you heard?", the goblin mage asked, genuinely confused before straightening his posture and his expression, "Ever since we've been on the Earth, we've been striking back at mankind for thousands of years! For too long, humans have been oblivious to our kind and our advances! But not this time, Accuser! This time, the Fae will reveal themselves!"

"You'll have to go through us first, pal." Samael said as his body glowed a slight yellow.

The goblin mage then grinned before making the first move, firing several blasts of magic after conjuring a rune in front of the staff. Zepar blocked the blasts with a small barrier he put in front of Samael and himself, then charged in and put down the barrier after the barrage of magic ended, swinging at the goblin mage with his axe. Surprisingly, the goblin mage was incredibly agile and was even able to get a couple of hits on the crimson Hell Knight's body, though it didn't seem to have much of an effect. Zepar was eventually able to grab the goblin and threw him with enough force for him to go through numerous walls of the building.

"Not bad, demon!", the goblin mage remarked, spitting out some blood before summoning a glyph underneath Zepar. He barely noticed it at the last minute and tried charging towards the goblin mage to strike at him again, but within a split second, Zepar felt the lower half of his body sinking in and getting stuck in between the floor of the building. The goblin mage cackled as he turned to Samael and shot more magic at him.

Samael quickly dodged the magic blasts from the goblin mage before rushing towards him at blinding speeds while his body glowed yellow. He then struck the goblin mage a few times in the front and back with lightning fast blows, though was surprised that the goblin mage was more resilient than his cohorts.

"So he is a High Goblin…" Samael thought. "Only a High Fae would have enough strength to withstand those attacks."

The High Goblin then summoned more glyphs, with fiery and ethereal tendrils protruding out of them, and tried to attack Samael and the more vulnerable Zepar. However, Zepar broke out of the floor by slamming his free hand onto it, which broke off a small section of the floor into pieces and was able to dodge the tendrils by falling into the level below. Samael dodged a few tendrils before grabbing two of the ones shot at him, and ripped them in two while shortly afterwards, the red Hell Knight jumped back up to help Samael defeat the mage goblin. Samael channelled a powerful surge of yellow energy into his arms before raising one of his arms up and launched an energy geyser at the goblin mage, with Zepar assisting by shooting him with blasts of magic. The High Goblin dodged the energy geyser with the same speed and agility he displayed earlier, and then conjured three ethereal suits of armour to attack the angel and demon with their swords. Zepar blocked the sword of one of them with his axe before counterattacking by slashing off the arm that was holding its sword before decapitating it.

Two of the remaining suits of armour both tried to take down Samael, with one striking down at him with an overhead swing, while the other was trying to go for a slash to his chest. Samael dodged the first attack before blocking the other and launched one of the suits into the air before blasting the other with a yellow energy wave. Before the other suit of armour hit the ground, Samael created an energy geyser that made it shatter into several pieces. The High Goblin was getting more frustrated that he wasn't able to take down his adversaries, so then he concentrated and made green energy flow around him and attacked with his entire staff also radiating green energy. He tried to hit Zepar with his staff once again, but Zepar was ready for it and blocked it. Not only did he appear to be much faster than before, but when the staff and axe collided, a burst of the green energy was able to knock Zepar into a couple of walls while the goblin mage held his ground. The High Goblin then turned to Samael and attacked him dozens of times with his staff in a few short seconds. Samael dodged the first few attacks but was struck and blown away by the last few ones, hitting the nearest wall in the room.

"Can't up now, can you Samael?", the High Goblin remarked as he then kept up the pressure and continued to strike at the angel with his staff after shooting some magic blasts ahead of him.

Samael however caught the staff and glared at the High Goblin, to which with a strong surge of power he shattered it, creating a small explosion of green energy.

"NO!", the High Goblin exclaimed, but he still had green energy flowing around him and tried to blast Samael with an orb of energy he had in his hands. Zepar saw this and made a spectral clone grab the High Goblin by the hand, making the orb disappear and lift him off of the ground. He then walked back to where Samael and the High Goblin were, seeing the fallen angel kick the High Goblin to the ground, and wrapped a ring of yellow energy around them to restrain the goblin mage.

"It's done. Let's get these people out of here." Samael said to Zepar, to which he gave a simple grunt and nod before going back to where the first group of civilians were.

"Everyone, follow us, and we shall get you to safety!" Samael shouted as he gestured for the people to follow him and Zepar out of the building. The people in the buildings then followed Samael and Zepar, though some had their eyes focused on the demon and the goblin as they were more strange compared to Samael, no doubt based on the fact that Samael looked human other than having yellow eyes.

The demon Hell Knight and fallen angel were able to lead the people out of the building and away from the giant golem, ensuring that there would be survivors. Samael sighed in relief, knowing that he had saved the people under threat from the Fae, but he did wonder what the High Goblin spoke about. Had the Fae really been at war with Earth for that long?

Back at the front lines with the giant golem, the Hell Knights and harem, Lucifer was still shielding herself, the Helltaker and Azazel on the damaged and fragmented road as they watched the carnage unfold with the stone behemoth-like automaton.

"Shouldn't you be helping?!", the Helltaker asked Lucifer. "We can take care of ourselves!"

"Why do you think I called the Hell Knights? My power would flatten such a populated area!" Lucifer exclaimed before spotting two different sources of fire: Zdrada and the Twins, Apoy and Siga.

Zdrada was using large fireballs to try and take down the large golem just as it did with the ones she and the others had fought earlier but like most of the attacks, they hardly had any effect on the golem. On the other side, she saw Apoy and Siga shooting their own flames in trying to destroy the giant golem as well, the two of them were creating singes within the golem's stone body moving at superfast speeds. The Bitch Demon gritted her teeth as she saw how skilful the young twins were with their flames, let alone them being a part of the Hell Knights and having power like that. As the twins were finished with their combo attack doing a little more damage against the golem, they then looked to see Zdrada and how her arms were now glowing a bright orange, looking like superheated iron as she slammed her hands into the left arm of the giant golem and with a loud scream unleashed a huge blast of concentrated heat and flames through it, separating the arm from the giant golem and sent it crashing into the road below.

"Holy shit!", both of the twins exclaimed, "Where the fuck was that earlier?!"

The twins, Brandish, Chax, and even Justice were surprised at Zdrada's sudden display of power against the giant stone automaton. Zdrada herself landed and glared back at the twins after she had punched the golem, while some smoke was coming from the arm she used to punch.

"You little shits might play with fire, but you don't know how to dance with it!", she yelled before scoffing while balling up her hand into a fist, "Fucking Hell Knights…supposed to be Hell's chivalrous and powerful soldiers, yet all I see right now are arrogant, self-righteous, thugs!"

Though some that heard Zdrada's outburst, such as Justice and Brandish, were able to tolerate it, Apoy and Siga were just as angry as Zdrada was at the Hell Knights as a whole.

"And what do you know about the Hell Knights, you bitch?!", both of the twins yelled, giving a look of hate towards her as well.

"Enough to know what you really are!", Zdrada retorted back, then the fraternal twins could be seen preparing fireballs but looked like they were aiming for a new target instead of the golem.

"Apoy! Siga! Don't do it!", Chariot ordered as he took his eyes away from the large golem and dashed towards them, twisting their hands away from Zdrada which caused the fireballs to disappear. He then stared at them intently, "Remember the oath you have taken to become Hell Knights. Don't do this again."

The twins have heard rumours of how harsh the dark-skinned general could be, despite his blank expression and monotone voice. Even so, they couldn't let go of how someone dared to question and ridicule those in an organization dedicated to protect Lucifer and all the citizens of Hell.

"Yes, sir…", both of them said reluctantly before Chariot then let their hands go and gave another glare towards Zdrada.

"This is no time for squabbling." Lucifer said, who warped to their location and blocked a powerful green energy wave with one of her barriers. "We severed one of its arms, but to bring it down we need to take out the gnomes within its cockpit."

"Right away, Your Majesty.", Chariot said as he gave a quick bow to Lucifer before continuing to fight the golem, with the twins following their general's lead shortly afterwards and tried to take down the golem with more fire-based attacks.

Brandish and Justice were trying to still assist in fighting the large golem, but more of the smaller forces from earlier appeared, which forced the two of them to hold them off. As Chax was still flying around the golem, she then saw the opening from the arm that was blown off, with green light reflecting off the surfaces on the inside.

"Chariot! There's an opening from where the arm was blasted off!", Chax called out, to which the other Hell Knights then saw the hole in the golem.

Judgement and Cerberus both overheard Chax and the two acted quickly, with the Triple Demon racing up the giant golem's body and the High Prosecutor leaping up towards the hole in the stump of the left arm before wrapping some of her chains around it and pulling them down telekinetically in an effort to prevent the colossus from moving. Chariot went up to the opening of the golem to help Cerberus capture the gnomes within. Meanwhile, Zepar, Brandish, and Justice were finished in dealing with the goblins and smaller golems that were remaining, either by restraining or killing them. Zdrada herself sighed as the fight was pretty much over and glared at the twins once more before turning away and walking off to smoke another cigarette, while the twins themselves went to help Brandish and the others.

Cerberus dashed through to the cockpit, to where a group of six gnomes were piloting the giant golem. Upon spotting the Triple Demon and the Hell Knights breaking through, they drew their weapons and fired upon Cerberus and the others, though the gatekeeper of Hell was able to dodge each shot with her incredible speed. Meanwhile, Chariot had blocked the shots that were directed at him with a small energy barrier before summoning spectral tendrils to ensnare the gnomes. Cerberus zoomed around the cockpit's control, looking for a way to try and shut the golem down.

"How do you shut this thing down?!" The Triple Demon yelped.

"I'm not sure, I'll get Chax in here.", Chariot replied as he then got on comms to call for her, "Chax! We need help shutting the golem down."

"I'll get in there!", Chax said as she then flew close to the opening and dismounted her horse to enter. She quickly walked towards the control of the golem and looked around and inside the panels. After a minute passes, she was able to find some wires and other mechanisms that seemed to be where they are mainly powering up the giant golem. She was then able to cut the right wires and shut down the golem, with the gnomes inside looking down in defeat.

"Well done.", Chariot congratulated while having his stoic expression and voice, "Let's get back with the others."

"Thank you, Chariot.", Chax said with a giggle, "But seriously, you should smile more."

Chariot only responded to her remark by jumping out of the opening of the golem, landing on both of his feet, and walked towards Lucifer. Cerberus raced out of the golem, to which Judgement then released and dematerialized her chains now that the giant golem had been stopped. Lucifer saw that the giant golem had been stopped and removed her barriers that she created around the Helltaker and Azazel, who looked on in awe at the colossal automaton now still in the road.

"Is it over?" The Helltaker asked.

"It seems so.", Justice replied, "I don't sense any more goblins or gnomes, other than the ones that we've captured."

"We can scout the area if you wish for us to be sure, Your Majesty.", Chariot suggested as he eventually made it back to Lucifer and the others, with the rest of the Hell Knights following up shortly afterwards.

"A wise precaution, make sure there are no more Fae within the area." Lucifer ordered.

"Understood, Your Majesty.", Chariot said with a bow before he and those in his squadron spread out and started to look for possible Fae that could still be around. After a couple of minutes, the Hell Knights found some gnomes and goblins that were trying to sneak off. About half of the small group were able to sneak off through a portal quickly, but the other half had got restrained by the Hell Knights.

Samael had returned to the scene after he and Zepar escorted the humans to safety, before he threw the High Goblin to the ground near a group of captured gnomes and goblins.

"This one will need interrogating." Samael said to the Hell Knights before looking at the mage with a glare.

"Your assistance is appreciated, Samael.", Chariot said with a blank expression before taking the High Goblin by his own hand and dragged him to where the other captured Fae were.

Nearby, the Helltaker had regrouped with Lucifer, Azazel, Cerberus, Zdrada, Justice and Judgement who all looked glad to see each other were okay, especially Cerberus who dog tackled them excitedly.

"Ow! Cerberus, settle down!", The Helltaker exclaimed painfully.

Judgement rolled her eyes before she used her chains to pull the Triple Demon off the Helltaker, making them growl and whine like a dog.

"Phew, certainly haven't fought like that in a while!", Justice chuckled while rubbing her arm, "Glad I haven't lost my touch."

"I can certainly say the same.", Brandish added in agreement while walking towards the group after he and the other Hell Knights were rounding up the last of the goblins and gnomes.

"You're the one with all the guns.", The Helltaker said.

"Indeed, I am, mortal!", Brandish remarked, "I have been building up my arsenal since World War One! Have even convinced some others to use some as well!"

The twins and Zepar rolled their eyes as soon as he brought up his passion project that he's had for about more than a century, and would almost never shut up about ever since, but Chax and Chariot didn't mind as much. Lucifer approached the Hell Knights in front of her, those who no doubt had never graced or been in the Queen of Hell's presence. All the Hell Knights saluted then bowed on one knee as she got in front of them.

"Your Majesty.", they all said almost simultaneously.

"About time someone showed me respect." Lucifer muttered to herself. "Hell Knights, you have performed well against the forces of the Fae, your efforts have managed to leave this city intact, and yet another of their attempts at instigating a war with mankind has been averted. Step forward and state your name, rank and company."

Brandish was the first one to step up towards Lucifer, bowing once again in respect.

"I am known as Brandish. Lieutenant of Jubokko Company.", he introduced himself, then stepped back.

"I am Chax, Captain of Jubokko Company.", she said, stepping up after Brandish.

"I am Zepar, Captain of Jubokko Company.", the red Hell Knight said.

"I am Apoy, Warrior of Jubokko Company.", the male twin said.

"And I am Siga, also a Warrior of Jubokko Company.", the female twin said, being the last one to step up.

"Jubokko….a blood-sucking tree from Japan…groovy." Samael said, crossing his arms and looking on with intrigue.

"It's been an honour to serve you once more, Your Majesty.", Chariot added after his troops introduced themselves, with Zdrada scoffing at that before blowing out a cloud of smoke.

"The five of you have performed brilliantly in this situation, but that is to be expected from the Jubokko Company, General Chariot has taught you well." Lucifer said, crossing her arms.

"He has certainly done so, Your Majesty.", Brandish said with a nod.

"Certainly not with those two little brats…", Zdrada muttered before continuing to smoke.

"Someone has an attitude." Samael said dryly before listening again.

"Zdrada!" Lucifer said, glaring at the Bitch Demon. "That is no way for a Subordinate to speak to a Hell Knight!"

"You think they deserve my respect after what they have done to me and Malinka?!", Zdrada yelled, expressing both anger and sadness, biting down on her cigarette hard enough for it to split in half.

The twins were pretty angry at Zdrada as she continued her outbursts, especially the insult she directed at them, but this time they showed restraint and held back from yelling at her themselves. Though, they thought, what could the Hell Knights have possibly done to the Bitch Demon and her sister?

"Wisnia Diabel….", Lucifer muttered under breath before speaking up. "We should return to the house, there are no doubt a lot of questions concerning what happened here today."

"What should we do with the gnomes and goblins, Your Majesty?", Chariot asked, "Should we take them back to headquarters to question them? Or would you like to do so yourself?"

"The grunts can be questioned back at headquarters, but the High Goblin is someone of importance…" Lucifer replied as she looked at the unconscious High Fae that Samael captured.

"Understood, Your Majesty.", Chariot said, giving Lucifer a final bow before opening up a portal and walking through it while escorting the captured goblins and gnomes. Brandish wanted to say something, sticking his head through the portal, but Zepar dragged him back and the portal closed behind them.

"Alright, now that that's over, can someone please tell me WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!", The Helltaker yelled, finally letting out his frustration and confusion.

"It's a long story, something better to tell when we go back to your house." Samael replied.

"You're coming with us, Accuser?", Azazel asked.

"There's clearly a lot of stuff that I wasn't aware of either, so yeah, I'm coming with you.", Samael said before looking down at the unconscious High Goblin.

"Should we really trust him, though?", Zdrada asked the group with a groan, "This isn't coming from what happened earlier, being in the presence of those bastards, I still don't trust him in general."

"Well, he did help us out, Zdrada.", Justice said in a neutral tone, "I'd say he's cool with us."

"What do you think?", the Helltaker asked Lucifer, who thought for a few seconds before sighing.

"He stood back and watched us fight, but he did capture this High Goblin.", Lucifer said. "So Samael has my trust, for now. He can follow us back home."

"If you guys say so…", Zdrada groaned again and rolled her eyes.

"Are you okay with this, High Prosecutor?" Lucifer asked Judgement, who stood there with an intense gaze.

"I'll allow it." Judgement said. "Let's make haste, though, the others will no doubt be wondering where we are."

"Agree, let's go." Lucifer said, as he created a red portal back to the house. "Did we forget the groceries?"

"Oh shit, I think we did.", Justice said, scratching the back of her head.

"I'll get you new stuff later.", Samael offered. "Let's go back to your house for now."

"Very well.", Zdrada said, putting both hands in her pocket before walking through the portal, not waiting for the others.

Lucifer, the Helltaker and Judgement went in first, followed by Azazel and Justice. Cerberus leapt through the portal, while Samael simply looked back at all the things that happened around him. He sighed before dragging the High Goblin through the portal, leaving Vice City and the destruction and debris behind.
