Chapter 1: A Woman Scorned

With Fury

Fury was seen climbing out of the hole where she knocked Envy through and seeing a Demon Legionnaire skeleton in a small pond of water while water was seen draining out of a pipe above. Fury looked up seeing an exit out of the oasis-like pit and began to climb on the side of the wall and leave behind the battle ground where she and Envy had fought.

Upon exiting the pit the Watcher emerged from Fury's gem informing "I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't point out that even with the Talisman, location the other Deadly Sins will prove a challenge."

Fury continued to walk ahead being followed by her spectral companion responding with a dismissive tone "Finding Envy was easy enough."

The Watcher reminded with a mildly annoyed tone "That was a gift from the Council. One I would not count on receiving twice. Envy was also, by far, the weakest of the Sins!"

Fury sneered at the Watcher, her hair reacting in a mildly displeased manner while questioning with a held back angry tone "Anything else to add?"

The Watcher informed "Only what I assume you already know: the armies of both Heaven and Hell have cordoned off the world of Man into various areas of influence."

The Watcher gestured her hands around the environment and slowly spun in place as the city was seen with overgrown vines, weeds, and many other plant-life that clashed with the Demonic stone that was erupting from the ground "Look around us. The upheaval we have seen is the very personification of the struggle between order and chaos."

The Watcher looked at Fury while gesturing her hand towards her finishing "You have set for yourself an unenviable task, given these environs."

Fury scoffed in mild amusement by the Watcher's brazen pun over Fury's recent victory responded with a confident yet bloodthirsty tone "That's what makes it fun. The other Sins are hiding across this shattered world. They strike at Angels and Demons alike in their own selfish bids for power. Their hubris will lead me right to them."

The Watcher responded while keeping up with Fury's fast paced walk "Perhaps, but you will need assistance."

Fury snapped her attention towards the Watcher and pointed at her claiming with a arrogant tone "Whatever I need I will take, Watcher!"

The Watcher floated in silence before returning into Fury's gem leaving the Horseman who groan lowly in annoyance, shortly after Fury reached a ravine with a man-made crane and proceeded to use her whip to swing across it causing the crane to fall into the ravine.

Fury continued to march through the overgrown streets seeing the devastation that the war had been wrought to this world while Fury spoke with a mildly respectful tone "I knew War would one day unleash… all this. But seeing it… his gifts are impressive."

The Watcher was heard responding, feeding into Fury's ego "May I remind you, Mistress, that you have no peer among your Horsemen brethren."

But the sounds of the two women's voices drew the attention of undead humans that sprinted towards the Horseman some even running on all fours as Fury formed an excited grin before punching one zombie's head. The zombie's head exploding into a gory mess splattering blood, teeth and bone fragments towards the other undead before Fury used the zombie's headless corpse as a weapon by easily smacking the other undead with the corpse.

Blood, bone and rotting organs spilled, splattered and were thrown in every direction as Fury continue to strike down the undead with the broken body of one of their own. Shortly after Fury was seen with bloodthirsty grin holding the mangled yet torn leg of her victim while surrounded by the lifeless corpses of her undead enemies before tossing the leg away.

Fury sighed in enjoyment before leaving the gory scene as she entered one of the buildings while a portal opened on the ground as a large horned blue skinned demon with a lipless mouth and glowing green eyes while wearing a tattered robe while blue mist fumed out from his robes.

The Demon eyed the corpses and formed a pleased expression while thinking to himself "Ahhh how delightful, a potential customer who may have need of my service."

With Fury who managed to reach a large tunnel as Fury observed and reached the far side of the tunnel seeing an underground chamber with a smaller tunnel leading out. Fury knelt down seeing human and Angel remains with bones, armor and weapons scattered across the chamber as Fury eyed the largest pile of bones a belonging to a Trauma Demon.

Fury thought to herself while approaching the skeletal remains of the Demon "Pathetic, he allowed himself to be outwitted by the hairless apes."

Fury turned towards the small tunnel and crouched down and entered inside seeing a clearing in the short distance ahead but formed a curious expression seeing a large root as she approached. Exiting the tunnel Fury stood up see the origin of the roots and gazed upon a massive tree with leafs that had a faint blue glow as Fury eyed it and the nearby man-made buildings and the landscape itself seemingly undergoing a slow but drastic change.

Fury eyed the tree with a mixture of confusion and wonder before questioning "That tree… it's impressive. (places right hand on hip) but is it just me or is it out of place here?"

The Watcher responded while remaining within Fury's gem "It is a Maker Tree, most likely we will find refuge here."

Fury kept staring at the tree and questioned "I never heard such a thing, (gestures left hand towards the tree) how does that have any connection to the Makers?"

The Watcher emerged from Fury's gem and explained "The Makers' presence create such environs, nature grows wherever a Maker resides, some even have control over this natural power their race exhumes."

Fury eyed the tree and scoffed in a mildly impressed manner before responding "Interesting… never knew they had such (eyes the Watcher changing her tone to be more abrasive) passive and useless powers."

The Watcher raised two brows while eyeing Fury who turned towards her and suggested "Let's get closer, I have a hunch that tree is Haven."

The Watcher stared silently at Fury before returning within her gem while Fury walked across a massive tree root that bore itself through many buildings and stretched over a few streets, which had more of the devolved and monstrous Angels below.

Fury roamed through the buildings seeking another root to which to cross and reach the Tree but while pacing towards the stairs a portal opened catching her attention as the blue Demon rose up and teased "Aren't we making a mighty ruckus?"

Fury without hesitation pulled out her whip and willed it to straighten out with the bladed tip held at the Demon's throat causing him to grasp his right golden armored hand around the blades barbs of the whip as Fury responded with a disinterested tone "Says the Demon who announces his ambush."

The Demon assured with a strained tone while the blade was pushing further back towards the wall "It was not my intention to do battle, Horseman!"

Fury retracted her whip back into her hilt while the Demon gave a sigh of relief before joking "Well… such a passionate little thing aren't we?"

Fury hissed at the demon with an impatient tone "Do not test my patience Demon!"

The Demon places his hands over his chest stating "Very well, war is too hazardous an occupation (gestures both hands towards Fury) for myself, Horseman. (places hands over each-other) I am here in the name of blind capitalism."

Fury crossed her arms while the Demon introduced himself "I am Vulgrim. Merchant of the damned, a trader who deals in souls for profit. Even in the face of the Apocalypse, one must endeavor to earn a living."

Fury squinted in distrust towards the Demon now revealed to be name Vulgrim "And whose souls do you trade in?"

Vulgrim answered with a certain tone "Angel, Demon… or even Human. All souls have value to me. (grins) I've seen the bodies you've left in your wake."

Fury raised a brow in curiosity and questioned "What would I require from you?"

Vulgrim gestured his right hand towards the Black Rider while placing his left hand on his hip responding "That depends, what are your needs?"

Fury responded directly "Information, the Seven Deadly Sins."

Vulgrim rubbed his spiky chin in thought before responding vaguely "Whispers on the wind say that the fabled Horsemen are but pawns in a larger game. Victims of a grand set-up."

Fury formed a confused yet mildly offended expression while pointing at Vulgrim demanding "What do you know?!"

Vulgrim looked around with an unnerved expression before eyeing a hooded Demoness with skeletal wings standing three floors above himself and Fury making him calm himself before floating away from Fury and responded "I know that the first one's free. Call for me, if you have souls to trade and perhaps you will consider my wares valuable…"

Vulgrim opened a portal sunk down through it before it closed shortly after while the Demoness quietly walked out of sight as Fury formed a confused expression before waving off Vulgrim in a frustrated manner.

Fury began to leave the floor climbing up a wall while venting in frustration "Vulgrim and his Demon tongue… they live to confound and feed of the scraps of a world they helped destroy."

The Watcher agreed "Indeed they do."

Fury sighed in defeat while admitting "But… despite his thirst for souls, Vulgrim may be a useful tool on this journey."

Fury reached the top of the building seeing a tree root that crossed the street closer towards the tree with the Rider taking the opportunity to walked across while being watched from a distance by the Demoness.

Fury eyeing the roots sighting "The length of these roots have grown… they seem to have taken over everything."

The Watcher responded with an agreeing tone "Indeed they have, Mistress."

Shortly after Fury was seen lashing her whip out, coiling around a small root she swung across a gap and landed onto the tree and climbed up to an edge and noticed a stairway that was seemingly made from the tree itself.

Fury stood up observing the stairs and thought to herself "A Makers' work… though these steps aren't as large to befit their steps… (looks up the stairway) these were made for creatures of smaller stature."

Fury walked up the stairs and formed an expression of awe seeing an entranceway with two large stones with stoic yet stern faces carved into them while inside there was a wooden bridge stretched across the inner chamber. Deeper still stood a blacksmith's anvil near a strange formation of stones that had an ominous aura of power radiating off them, but inhabiting within was a small group of Humans who spotted Fury and fled further inside.

Alarmed by the Human's three giant human-like beings, two of which were male that were distinguished by their stout and broad shouldered appearance, the female giant was far slimmer and slightly shorter in comparison. One of the male giants had ginger colored hair that was styled in a braided-pony tail with a chin-curtain styled beard, the second male was bald while his facial hair was grey and in the style of a handle-bar and goatee.

The female giant had long blonde hair with long braided pigtails with a braided ponytail, she wielded a large hammer, as did the ginger male while the grey bearded giant wielded a large stone-like bladed axe.

The ginger haired giant waved his hand towards himself at the humans instructing with a protective tone and a Scottish accent "Behind me, wee ones! (places both hands on the hilt of hammer) Let me tend to our uninvited guests."

Fury approached keeping a calm and cautious pace while the Watcher emerged from her gem while the giant eased his posture while widening his eyes questioning "A Horseman?"

Fury eyed the giant and responded "Fury, currently reserving the right to kill you where you stand, and you are…?"

The giant responded with a jest "Surprised. And a more than little relieved. (lowers hammer and places right fist upon chest) Call me Ulthane Blackhammer."

Fury eyed the giant now revealed to be named Ulthane and his fellow Makers asking with a mildly playful tone "So you'll not be flattening (places right hand on hip close to her whip) me today?"

Ulthane gave an assured nod while the Watcher asked "A Maker are you not?"

Ulthane responded while turning away in regret "Aye… when there's something to make. Today, my skills are only aimed (lowers head in shame) towards instruments of death…"

The Watcher gestured her hand towards Ulthane stating "This is not your war."

Ulthane turned back towards the two women gesturing his hands towards the humans stating "No. Not theirs neither."

Some of the humans began to cautiously approach Fury's direction while remaining close to the three Makers, one in particular who wore a orange hood over his head was seen approaching the closest. The Human wore a tattered and well worn trench coat, a leathery armored shin guards, while he had a full grown beard, he had a darker skin tone and while he had a bags under his eyes, seemingly tired and angry from the devastation of his people.

Ulthane questioned with a concerned tone "Like your Council, I care for balance, Horseman… Humans, frail as they be are part of the balance. (gestures hand towards Fury) Surely you are here to help protect the?"

The Watcher gave a bemused sigh while shaking her head responding "Wrong question…"

Fury burst out into a mocking laugh towards the Makers and Humans while responding with a demeaning tone "A tribe of useless, (gestures towards the humans) hairless simians whose greatest talent was inventing new ways to divide and destroy one another!"

Ulthane closed his eyes shaking his head subtly while the humans were giving angry yet offended expressions as Fury continued while waving her hand in a dismissive manner "They could suffer forever or die tomorrow and I wouldn't bat an eye either way."

The hooded man stomped towards Fury pointing at her while questioning with an angry tone "Then (Ulthanes hunches over raising his hand towards the man in a defensive manner) what is your business here?!"

Fury eyed the man forming a mildly surprised expression and asked "What do they call you?"

The man responded while raising his chin in a proud manner "Jones."

Fury took one step forward and warned "Jones… question me again… (speaks with a raspy hissing tone as her hair flares up angrily scaring the humans) with your last breath!"

Jones scoffed unimpressed "Ha! Look around… look what's happened here. Do you honestly think anything scares me now?"

Ulthane warned with a cautious tone "Easy lad, this one's not for trifles…"

Jones responded with a rant "Yeah? What do I have to lose?! (raises hands and swings them downwards angrily) This moronic conflict makes you all look so stupid! Angel, Demon, Horseman… (points at Ulthane) even Maker! What are you even fighting for huh? Tell me!"

Fury formed an impressed expression as the Watcher had a fearful expression in her eyes before returning within Fury's gem as the Rider strutted towards Jones and admitted with a arrogant tone yet with a hint of respect "I like this one. You may continue to breathing, Jones."

Ulthane gave a sigh of relief while Jones formed a mildly annoyed look his eyes while Ulthane changed the topic "Horseman please… to have you on our side would turn the tide in ways we cannot measure! Humanity might stand a chance and survive!"

Fury responded by informing "While my mission does involve balance… it does not require… (gestures hand towards a man near the anvil) them. I am here to root out the Seven Deadly Sins and return them to the Council, no less, no more."

Ulthane rubbed his beard in thought before offering "What if… I can help you? That bit o' chain ye carry could use some work."

Fury responded with a dismissive and arrogant tone "I sincerely doubt that. I'm faring quite well without any help."

Ulthane sighed in a mildly frustrated tone further explaining "Of course, but in case ye missed the moniker, I am a Maker who specializes in instruments of destruction, chaos and the deliverance of pain."

Fury looked down in thought as Ulthane continued "So, it stands to reason (places right hand upon chest) that wee, little Ulthane could enhance yer arsenal if your Horsemanship would give me the chance."

Fury sighed in a defeated tone though questioned the price "You enhance my treasured Scorn… In exchange for?"

Ulthane answered "Humanity will not survive without aid, if… you come across any humans on your journey, please direct them here. Haven is the only place they might be sufficiently protected."

Fury formed a confused expression while gesturing her hand out towards the entranceway questioning "Direct them? How do you expect the apes to cross a battlefield an find you?"

Ulthane formed a proud smirk while pulling out a strange medallion from one of his satchels stating "Oh I don't, they'll need this (holds out medallion) the Bridge, made meself. Only Humans can use it, one touch and they're sent straight to Haven."

Fury questioned with a disgusted tone while taking the Bridge from Ulthane's palm "Must I touch them?"

Ulthane eyed Fury with an unamused stare as Fury grumbled quietly before responding "I accept your offer Maker… though I doubt it will make your "collection" any less useless."

Ulthane scoffed before gesturing his hand towards the human man near his anvil who had long raven black hair that was naturally curly proudly claiming "You'd be impressed what my apprentice could do, (the man nods quietly) As a show of good faith… a gift. Wrath."

Fury snapped her attention towards Ulthane and questioned with a serious tone "Where?"

Ulthane explained while gesturing towards a nearby elevator "You seek a pit of hell-stretch set in the Nether. Beneath the city. And please, Horseman…"

Fury strutted towards the lift's direction while waving her hand passively "Yes, yes… I will shepard the "wee ones" your way, pointless as it may be."

Ulthane placed the pummel of his hammer onto the floor and watched Fury head towards the lift responding with a polite tone "We'll see… and remember Fury…. The doors of Haven stand open for any who ask."

Fury step onto the lift as the female Maker pulled a lever and said with a gun-hoed attitude "Give em hell Horseman!"

Fury scoffed in amusement before the lifted lowered her down the tree's base seeing four human men standing guard with make-shift halberds who eyed the Rider who questioned "You four aren't bothered by my presence?"

One of the men responded "Ulthane's voice tends to echo throughout the tree reaching down here as well."

Fury scoffed in a mildly respectful manner before walking ahead while the men watched one staring at her rear before another elbowed his side and ordered "Come on, keep you guard up for the Sycophants or Demons."

Later Fury was seen approaching a campsite where three of the monstrous creatures known as Sycophants were seen roasting a large Hellhound on a spit and rotated it over the flames cooking the meat while they drooled in hunger. Fury leaped out at the Sycophants making jump in surprise before one was tackled by Fury who was seen using her right clawed gauntlet to slit her foe's throat before raising her left hand and magically levitated one of the Sycophant's clubs and willed it to away from it's owner's grasp.

Fury dropped her lifeless victim before pulling out her whip and began to strike the other two Sycophants, their flesh being slashed by Fury's Scorn making them screech in pain before Fury sheathed her whip and thrusted her right hand into one of them. Fury's hand erupted out from the Sycophant's back as she was seen holding onto it's still beating heart before the last Sycophant attempted to swipe at Fury who used it's companion's lifeless carcass as a shield.

Fury squeezed the heart in his grasp squirting blood into the eyes of the last Sycophant before dropping the heart and tearing her hand out from the body before placing Scorn underneath it's chin and extended it and watched as it broke through the beast's skull. Retracting her whip Fury pushed the last Sycophant's corpse aside and sheathed Scorn on her hip before approaching the roasting Hellhound and easily tore off a small piece of meat and took a bite out of it.

Fury chewed on the meat before fully devouring it and thought to herself "Hmmm a bit overcooked…"

But a women's muffled whimpering was heard echoing catching Fury's attention as she looked around, noticing a small hole leading underground beneath a rusty old city bus Fury formed a curious expression before dropping through.

Landing in a crouching position in a sewer Fury turned to see a human woman cowering near a corner begging "Please… no just… just kill me!"

Fury groaned in annoyance before responding "Oh stop your blubbering, human! (clenches hand into a fist) Come to me! (The woman trembles in fear unable to move) Now!"

The woman ducked her head fearful of her life as Fury sighed in annoyance before calmly asked while reaching out her right hand "Do you want to live?"

The woman turned around questioning with a confused tone "Wh-what?"

Fury approached the woman while pulling out the Bridge and held it towards her stating "If you want to live, I can send you to a safe place… as safe as any I suppose…"

The woman was uncertain and confused as Fury instructed with a held back annoyed tone "Touch it!"

The woman stood up and carefully reached out to the Bridge but recoiled as Fury groaned in frustration before tossing it into the woman's hands forcing her to form a white glowing aura before vanishing while the Bridge dropped onto the ground.

Fury picked up the Bridge complaining with a grumbling tone "Idiots, it's a miracle they ruled the Earth as long as they did."

Later Fury was seen walking through the sewer covering her nose complaining "Ughhhhhh it's like Death in here… I should know we shared a room some thousand years ago."

The Watcher questioned in a mildly disgusted tone "I… why were you to sharing a room?"

Fury explained while continuing to explore the sewers "Some Angel and rogue Maker destroyed his abode and he had his undead rebuild it, and me being the dutiful sister that I am, offered him a place to stay… suffice to say I regret having to do so… he had an awfully rancid scent."

The Scar (Demon controlled land)

In the distance a massive Demonic structure was in the process while Abraxis was seen standing on a balcony from his personal throne room overseeing the construction of the Spire as a giant Demon was seen entering the throne room. The Demon had had fiery orange eyes, two thick horns on the sides of his head that reached slightly upwards, his scaly hide was a dark grey in color while his skin on his chest and belly was a a lighter color of tan, wearing a barbarian-like armor that covered little. The Demon's left arm was heavily armored with a Demonic skull pauldron on his shoulder, leather wraps strapped around his right arm and wrist while wearing a large belt buckle that covered a large portion of his bloated belly which had three blades.

The Demon had a lipless mouth with two short tusks while he held a multi-bladed mace over his shoulder while reporting "Master, the slaves are revolting."

Abraxis sighed in a mildly annoyed manner perceiving the revolt as little more than aminor distraction from the task beset upon him by his Mistress and Master.

Keeping his back turned towards the Demon ordering "Then persuade them to continue the Destroyer's work, you are the Grock a prized tool of the Destroyer do not return with such mundane reports."

The Demon now revealed to be called the Grock groaned lowly before bowing his head and began to head towards the throne room's exit passing by a pair of naked Demonesses that were seen lounging near Abraxis' throne who eyed the Grock with amusement.

Shortly after the Grock had left the throne room the Demoness spy was seen entering the throne and reported "My Lord, I have something of great interest to report."

Abraxis turned his head slightly barely giving his attention while responding "Well then report your findings."

The Demoness informed "The Black Rider has come to Earth, in search for the Seven Sins."

Abraxis turned his attention towards the constructions site responding "This much I am already aware of…"

But the Demoness informed "But she is aided by Vulgrim and the Makers."

Abraxis turned around completely while rubbing his chin in thought "Vulgrim is aiding a Horseman? Hmmm what is that low class rat think he's achieving by aiding the Horseman?"

The Demoness informed "Vulgrim was about to inform the Rider of the events here on Earth but I made my presence known to him and him alone forcing him to remain quiet."

Abraxis groaned lowly before ordering "Very well… I shall have more spies to keep an eye on the Rider (points at the Demoness) you Taskmaster will be keeping a watchful eye on the Makers and their human pets."

The Demoness known as a Taskmaster bowed her head while responding "At once my liege."

But one of the Demonesses that lounged near the throne stood up and strutted while playfully asking "Oh Abraxis can't you reward her with the same pleasures you give us?"

The second Demoness that was naked stood up adding with a sultry voice and said with a seductive tone "Yes, it would give her far more… (licks lips at the Taskmaster) incentive to serve."

Abraxis turned towards the Demonesses and responded with a respectful tone "As much as I would enjoy rewarding her services personally… I'm afraid I am due to a meeting with the Master himself. (Walks passed the three women) But I believe you two can satiate (gestures right hand towards the Taskmaster) her needs while I'm gone."

Abraxis left the throne room while the two naked Demonesses gave seductive toothy grins towards the Taskmaster before one grabbed her by the sides of her face and teased with her sultry voice "Well then, let's see if you can handle two Succubi shall we?"

The Succubus with the sultry voice pulled the Taskmaster into a sensual yet passionate kiss while rubbing and twirling her tongue against the Taskmaster's while the second Succubus was seen stripping off the spy's clothes. The Taskmaster seemingly entranced by the two Succubi merely moaned lowly in arousal while the first Succubus began to fondle her breasts and rubbed her nipples as the second was seen grabbing her skeletal wings and brutally broke them off the Taskmaster.

The Taskmaster widen her eyes in pain while the second Succubus tossed aside the wings sadistically stating "Wings are useless for such an occasion and quite often get in the way!"

But the Taskmaster's pained expression seemingly vanished as she was completely taken by the pleasing yet unseen auras of the Succubi while the second Succubus was seen sliding her hand between the Taskmaster's legs from behind making her tail wag lightly in a pleased manner. The second Succubus began to playfully rub her fingertips against the Taskmaster's clitoris and vagina while the first Succubus was seen releasing her lips from her own before sucking on her left nipple while playfully bouncing her right breast.

The Taskmaster moaned quietly in arousal before the two Succubi pushed onto the floor as the first Succubus got down on all fours and began to lick the Taskmaster's vagina while the second Succubus climbed over her face and lowered her hips. The second Succubus planted her vagina onto the Taskmaster's lips who began to suck and lick her making the Succubus moan with an aroused toothy grin as the first Succubus continued to lick and suck on the Taskmaster's vagina and clitoris while rubbing her own vagina.

The Taskmaster continued to please the second Succubus' vagina who was seen fondling her own breasts moaning in pleasure "Aaaaaaaahhhh…"

The first Succubus continued to lick the Taskmaster's vagina while using her free hand to stick her fingers inside the Demoness' vagina while she resumed to please herself causing vaginal fluids to leak out. The Taskmaster growing in confidence began to smack the sides of the second Succubus' rear with open palms making her skin jiggle and causing the Succubus to sigh in arousal before removing herself off the Taskmaster's face.

The second Succubus climbed on top of the Taskmaster belly first their breasts pressed against each-other while they began to kiss sensually and passionately while the first Succubus began to take turns licking and sucking on both their vaginas. But the second Succubus reacted to the first's actions by whipping the her back with her tail making the first yelp in surprise but continued to please the to Demonesses while responding by smacking the second's rear with her wet hand she used to masturbate with.

The second Succubus released her lips from the Taskmaster's and moaned in pleasure from the first's slap "Oooooohhhhhohohohohoooohh…"

The Taskmaster taking advantage of the second Succubus' moans began to lick her neck while reaching her hands to grope the cheeks of the Succubus' rear and began to playfully jiggle them much to the amusement of the first Succubus who chuckled. The second Succubus reeled her head and upper body back while swaying her hips from side to side grinding her clitoris against the Taskamaster's while the first Succubus continued to lick their vaginas and tasted the fluids that leaked out from them.

The first Succubus sighed with a seductive grin crawled around her fellow Succubus and the Taskmaster before pushing the second Succubus off before lowering herself down and began to suck on the Taskmaster's right nipple, allowing the Taskmaster to suck on her left nipple. The second Succubus eyed the first with a devilish smirk before crawling behind her and planted her face between the cheeks of the first's rear to suck on her vagina and clitoris.

The three Demonesses continues to please one another as the first Succubus' tail reached under the second and began to gently rub against her breasts who responded to the first by sticking her tongue inside her vagina and stirred it around stimulating the first who sucked on the Taskmaster's nipple harder. The Taskmaster responded to her nipple being sucked on harder by loosen her lips on the first Succubus' nipple by grabbing her free nipple and began to suck on both of the Succubus' nipples who scoffed in pleasure while sucking on the Taskmaster's breast.

The first Succubus pulled the Taskmaster's free breast and began to suck on both of her nipples as the second Succubus continued to please the first's vagina as she responded by flicking the tip of her tail against the second's hardened nipples. The second Succubus pulled her face away from the first's rear and crawled around on near the Taskmaster's legs in front of the first Succubus who eyed her in anticipation as the second licked her lips in excitement before lowering her head and began to lick the Tasmkaster's vagina.

The first Succubus slipped her lips off the Taskmaster's nipples and began tp raised her lower half upwards much to the mild irritation to the second who quickly understand what the first was going to do forming a toothy grin. The second Succubus got onto her feet in a squatting position and began to lick and suck the Taskmaster's lower half of her vagina while the first Succubus did the same for the upper half along with her clitoris.

The two Succubi's tongues often rubbed and grinded against each-other as they continued to please the Taskmaster who was getting flustered from great pleasure before taking advantage of the first's exposed vagina by licking and sucking it. The two Succubi were seen spreading the Taskmaster's vagina open as they both continued to lick with more aggressive speeds and movements to their heads and tongues as their saliva and the Taskmaster's vaginal fluids mixed while leaking down to her belly.

The Succubi pulled their tongues away from the Taskmaster's vagina and began to sensually kiss, their tongues rubbed twirled and grinded against each-other as the Taskmaster stuck her tongue inside the first's vagina. As the Succubi kissed they mixed the saliva and vaginal fluids in their mouths further arousing themselves while the slimy mixture began to drip down onto the Taskmaster's clitoris and into her vagina.

The Succubi slowly pulled away their lips from each-other causing strings of the mixed saliva and vaginal fluids to stretch out before the two lowered the Taskmaster's lower half. The first Succubus raised her hips as strings of saliva stretched out while the Taskmaster had a confused expression before witnessing the first Succubus tackle the second.

The Taskmaster eyed the two Succubi as they rolled around on the floor aggressively trying to gain the upper hand with the second now on top pinning the first down while rubbing her breasts against first's with aggressive movements. The first Succubus wrapped her arms around the second's neck and rolled over with her now on top before releasing her arms to lift up her leg and began to grind her vagina against the second's with fast and aggressive speeds and thrusts.

The two Succubi moaned loudly in pleasure as the Taskmaster crawled towards them while the Succubi stuck out their tongues while forming sex-crazed expressions as they grinded their vaginas harder and faster. The two Succubi continued to grind their vaginas vigorously before both reeled their heads back moaning loudly in pleasure as their vaginas squirted out fluids onto each-other's skins and onto the Taskmaster before all three were heard panting heavily.

The three Demonesses afterwards got onto their knees and began to rub their tongues and lick each other sensually and passionately as they moaned lowly in arousal.

With Fury

Sometime later Fury reached a train station overrun by insectoid creatures, many fled at the sight of Fury who stomped onto one while looking ahead seeing large quantities of egg sacks as before hearing a distant metal clang and a booming bloodthirsty laughter "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!"

Fury followed the sounds of the laughter as it became louder and louder the closer she got until seeing a large hulking bipedal creature who wore heavy armor while wielding a large blade fighting Angel warriors with spears as Fury sighed in a relaxed manner claiming "Ahhh… music to my ears…"

The armored figure grabbed one Angel by his waist and with a simple flick of his wrist brutally snapped the Angel's spine killing him instantly before tossing the body at another Angel pinning him down. The armored figure approached the pinned Angel gave a sadistic bloodthirsty chuckle before slamming his right fist down splattering blood onto his armor.

The Watcher appeared while gesturing her hand towards the figure and noted "Wrath does seem to enjoy dismembering Angels."

Fury smirked before responding "We all need a hobby."

Fury jumped down into the chamber confidently approaching the figure now revealed to be the Sin, Wrath while Fury challenged "I hope you've left some for me! I'll try not to enjoy this too much hahahahaha!"

Wrath snapped his attention towards Fury causing his body beneath his armor to erupt in flames in anger before taking both hands onto the hilt of his blade and splitting it into two giant slabs of metal and responded "FIGHT OR CRAWL, WITCH!"

(Darksiders 3 ost; Wrath theme)

The Watcher returned into Fury's gem as Fury unsheathed her whip and took a battle stance but Wrath simply swung his right blade with a backhand motion with blinding speeds knocking Fury away and causing her to crash into the rocky wall. Fury shook her head in surprise before Wrath was seen already charging at her giving a beastly roar of anger while she tore herself out of the wall and dived through the gap in his legs as he slashed against the wall.

Fury began to strike her whip against Wrath's armored back doing little damage while he chuckled in amusement before backhanding Fury again knocking her away a few feet before he completely turned around slamming his blades together in a taunting manner mocking "I thought you were here to wage war not play games!"

Fury squinted at Wrath her hair flaring up angrily while seemingly causing Wrath's flames to become brighter as he formed a toothy grin beneath his helmet before the two combatants charged at one another. Wrath swung one of his blades at Fury who rolled over the blade causing time to briefly slow down as Fury formed a magenta colored aura, time returned to normal as Fury exploded into a burst of magically energy knocking Wrath onto one knee.

Wrath shook his head as Fury began to claw at the gaps of his armor boiling blood ran down the heated metal of his armor caused Wrath roar in rage "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH!"

Wrath swatted Fury off his arm knocking her onto the ground and began to quickly roll away as Wrath began to stomp after her with his large and heavy boots before Fury using her upper body strength pushed launched herself off the ground with her hands. Fury landed on her feet eyed Wrath stood straight up while sighing with a toothy grin before slamming his blades back together into a single weapon before leaping into the air and chucked his sword at the Rider.

Fury cartwheeled out of the way as the blade impaled the ground where she was causing the surrounding area to explode in a short burst of fire sending a shockwave that knocked Fury off balance as Wrath sprinted towards her. Wrath upon reaching enough distance reeled his right fist back and threw a punched with a underhanded motion landing a powerful punch on Fury sending her flying into a nearby stone pillar.

Fury coughed up blood as she struggled to pull herself out before Wrath tore his sword from the ground causing debris and soil to drop off it as he approached the Horseman who groaned lowly in pain before gritting her teeth in anger. The air seemingly began to steam from heat as Wrath's flaming body erupted further as Fury's body began to have a magenta flaming aura before she exploded into her Havok form, wreathed in a magenta colored flame while both of her hands extended into whip-like tendrils with bladed tips. Fury's lacked any signs of a nose or mouth as her white glowing eyes were the only distinction of a face, her head now having two pairs of horns, two short horns grew from the sides of her cheek while two larger horns were seen atop of her head.

Fury's Havok form had small useless wings as her back and the back of her head constantly erupted the magenta colored flames as she squinted at Wrath who split his sword into two again while daring "THAT'S MORE LIKE IT COME HORSEMAN LET OUR SONG BE HEARD!"

Fury tilted her head in silence before charging at Wrath while wildling swinging her tendrils each-strike causing small powerful explosions forcing Wrath back by them though was seemingly unharmed. Fury continued to strike her tendrils towards Wrath until finally he jabbed his left fist into her gut knocking her off her feet before lifting her off the ground completely and slamming her back first while his fist remained on her belly.

Wrath raised his right hand and swung his blade down towards Fury who rolled out of the way and kicked him with her left leg, the force caused the metal around Wrath's abs to indent as Fury squinted before continuing her assault focusing her strikes at Wrath weakened armor plating. Wrath swung at Fury who evaded his blade and countered by impaling his palm with her tendril forcing him to drop his blade while Fury continued to strike at his armored abs.

Wrath attempted to swing his remaining blade before Fury quickly acted before he could swing by impaling her remaining tendril into his wrist making the angry Sin growl in an insulted manner before Fury drop kicked his abs breaking the plating off completely. Wrath roared in rage before wrapping Fury's tendril's around his arms pulling her closer before head-butting her face causing a booming shockwave that knocked her out of her Havok form as she was seen dragging across the ground back first.

Debris flew up in the air from Fury being dragged across the ground, upon stopping Fury was bloodied and was heard panting weakly as Wrath chuckled in a sadistic manner "Hahahahaha!"

Fury attempted to sit up gritting her teeth in a strained yet pained manner before dropping back down as Wrath stomped towards her threateningly scraping his blades together causing sparks to fly off onto the ground.

Fury raised her head panting heavily as he wounds were beginning to regenerate from the impact she took allowing her enough strength to raise her hand to call "Rampage… I have need of you…"

A swirling blue fiery vortex formed on the other side of the chamber catching Wrath's attention before Rampage erupted out neighing in both pain and anger before charging straight at Wrath with Angelic spears impaled into his side and right rear leg. Rampage crashing into Wrath knocked him into a stone pillar with enough force to collapse the pillar onto him while knocking the spear in Rampage's leg out as his blood spilled onto the ground.

Fury eyed Rampage in horror and confusion as he fell over panting weakly while Fury shouted in distraught "No… NOOOOOOOOO!"

Fury though still weakened got onto her feet and limped her way towards Rampage her right dragging against the ground before falling over onto Rampage's body and eyed the spear in his side before begging with tears rolling down her face "Rampage… GET UP!"

The Watcher emerged from Fury's gem and pointed out towards Wrath's direction warning "MISTRESS!"

Fury turned around but grunted in pain as Wrath was seen using the Angelic spear that fell out of Rampage to impale Fury in the belly while lifting her up with a sadistic grin mocking "It's funny what you remember, in between screams, my siblings used to refer to you as the dumb one!"

Fury grasped her hands around the blade of the spear her hair reacting in a wild and angry manner as Wrath encouraged "AHHHAHAHAA YES! THE HARDER YOU FIGHT THE STRONGER I GET!"

Fury's hair flared up in rage while screaming in mindless anger "I'LL TEAR YOU APAAAAAART!"

Wrath scoffed in amusement before turning his wrist and slammed Fury down breaking the spear while the blade was left impaled in Fury before Wrath held up the broken weapon and mocked "Ohhhh you think you're angry? You've barely scratched the surface!"

Fury stood up much to Wrath's surprise as she shoved the broken blade through her belly and out from her back, blood splattered onto the ground as she gritted her teeth in both anger and pain before responding "THEN LET ME DIG DEEP!"

Fury flunged herself backwards towards Wrath's head knocking onto his feet before she rolled off the blade tearing out of her body and was now impaled into Wrath's face as he stumbled around backwards. Wrath's fiery body began to cool down, smoke fumed as his lifeless body fell back first onto the ground causing a small tremor as his a hushed sigh was heard.

Fury grunted in pain s a large puddle of her own blood formed while she turned to see Rampage's lifeless body as she thought of War's warning through her mind "Something is wrong with the Universe…"

Fury panted heavily in exhaustion as her mind recalled Vulgrim's vague warning "Whispers on the wind say that, that the fabled Horsemen are but pawns to a larger game. Victims of a grand set-up…"

Fury formed an expression of realization and thought out loud "We… were set up… War… the others… there are… greater forces at work here… (a portal opens beneath Fury) Watcher? Help…?"

The Watcher turned to see Fury sinking through the portal and reached out to her while floating towards her both vanishing through the portal as Wrath's body was seen faintly forming flames again.

Unknown locations (hours later)

Fury awoke in a fur bedding and had a confused expression while grunting in pain before placing her right hand on her belly though her wounds were healed she still felt sore before raising her head to see a giant figure pass by. The figure wore a tattered blue cape with a high collar, a large ark of the covenant-like box that was chained onto his back with two statues facing each-other, one an Angel the other a Demon.

The Figure wore a crown and strange ornaments around his legs and arms, he wore no footwear and wielded a large staff, choosing to be barefoot as his skin was pale purple color, his long purple beard stretched just above his ankles while his eyes had a fiery red glow. The Figure was seen approaching an Angel Champion along with a Demons who had a vague resemblance to Abraxis but his horns were more antler in design as both tossed aside their weapons in the figure's presence.

The figure ordered with a deep tone "Step forward."

The Angel and Demon approached the figure without any hesitation or fear but the way the two walked made them appear tired and weary as the figure gestured his hand towards the two asking "Now I ask of both Angel and Demon… do you arrive here of your own free will? The tenets of the Hollowing demand it."

The Angel step forth and responded with "I do, Lord of the Hollows…"

The Demon step forward and added "As do I…"

The figure now revealed to be called the Lord of Hollows gave a sympathetic expression before addressing "You have both fought this war since the dawn of time. You are weary, yet immortality and the wheel of life, death and rebirth prevents the ultimate respite."

The Angel and Demon nodded confirming the Lord of Hollow's surmised deduction as he continued "I, The Lord of Hollows, can bestow upon you this gift, the final release! (raises hand forming a magical black orb with an orange glowing aura causing the Angel and Demon to slowly turn to ash) No longer will your souls be recycled time and time again, to fight for Heaven and Hell. They are now mine!"

The Angel and Demon's body after turning into ash began to break apart their ashes floating into the orb as the Lord of Hollows declares "You are finally free!"

The Lord of Hollows clenched the hand that formed the orb into a fist crushing the orb causing a small magical puff of ash and magic before the Lord gently release the ashes from his palm onto the ground as Fury mocked angrily "Cowards!"

The Lord of Hollows turned to face the Rider and said with a pleased tone "Ahhhh the impetuous creature awakens, deluded pawn of the Charred Council, do you even know where you are?"

Fury responded with a displeased tone her hair reacting weakly "I know exactly where I am! The stench betrays you! The Hollows is a hell all its own!"

The Lord of Hollows responded with an agreement tone while gesturing his hand towards Fury "Indeed. (places hand upon chest) But it is one that I alone rule."

Fury unable to counter the Lord of Hollow's claim before changing the subject "What did you do to them?"

The Lord of Hollows responded with a honest yet vague tone "Nothing they didn't wish for."

The Lord approached Fury chuckling in amusement while commenting "Heheheh! You wear your ignorance on your face. The true consequences of this so-called war for balance are beyond your comprehension! Perhaps I should hollow you…"

The Watcher emerged from Fury's gem and held up her hands towards the Lord of Hollows in defense of Fury as the Lord eyed her with distrust and distain "A Watcher. This only confirms what I already held to be true, (eyes Fury while point his index and middle finger at her while the Watcher attempted to help her onto her feet but was swiped away by Fury) you are just a puppet! The Council is playing you to further their own machinations!"

Fury slammed his right fist into the fur bedding lying with an angry tone while standing up onto her feet surprising the Lord of Hollows "ENOUGH! Unlike you, have not come to this place for personal gain! (Fury approaches the Lord of Hollows) The Seven Deadly Sins must be eliminated, once and for all to (points at the Lord of Hollows) protect the balance you mock! I will not be deterred."

The Watcher floated towards the Lord defending Fury "She speaks the truth, O'Lord. And she is tenacious to say the least…"

The Lord of Hollows ignored the Watcher and shook his head responding with an unconvinced tone "Your words carry no weight with me, they stink of lies!"

The Lord of Hollows slammed the pummel of his staff as a magical glowing orb formed at the top of his staff summoning ominous black skeletons that had strange yellow glowing eyesockets and ribcages.

Fury looked around and pulled out her whip while taking a battle stance as the Lord of Hollows demanded while pointing at her "Prove your commitment to Balance!"

Fury growled lowly in anger as the skeletons began to approach but she reacted with aggressive and angry attacks, striking her whip against any skeleton that approached her while the Lord of Hollows watched in silence. The Watcher looked in shock as Fury gave angry cries with every strike breaking apart any skeleton that came too close to her, her eyes watered as the thought of Rampage flooded her mind.

The Lord of Hollows noticed Fury's tears and remained silent and calm while the Watcher backed away from the battle ready Fury and chose to stay out of the Horseman's reach as Fury was seen continuously attacking the skeletons. Though only minutes had passed to the Watcher it had felt like hours until Fury was finally seen calming down and noticed that the skeletons were only approaching and remained still and wouldn't attack or were unable to.

Fury finally realizing the strange behavior questioned "This… was more than a test of battle?"

The Lord of Hollows approached Fury informing "A demonstrations, Horseman. You are so quick to combat, your whip ready to crack! (gestures hand towards Fury) True righteousness requires true insight, if this was a test… then you have failed. To resist a call of raw impulse is a different type of strength."

Fury rolled her eyes in annoyance before responding with an arrogant yet honest tone "Spare your wisdom, I know my strength and when I prove it to the Council I alone will lead the Horsemen! The Seven will be destroyed along with their designs for a world far more hideous than the apocalypse we already know."

The Lord of Hollows eyed Fury in silence before forming a mildly impressed smirk before responding "Very well…"

The Lord of Hollows held out his right hand forming a molten lava-like orb that radiated powerful energy as he informed "You will need this…"

The Lord of Hollows willed the orb to float towards Fury who held it in her clawed gauntlets and eyed it with a mixture of awe and confusion and questioned "A Flame hollow? For what purpose?"

The Lord placed his hand back onto his staff responding "Even I am aware that there are times when sides must be chosen, take this weapon, this power I bestow upon you… and know that I have chosen mine."

Fury eyed the orb in awe and wonder before the Lord of Hollows informed "But take heed, Horseman. The Universe has so many faces, (the Orb fuses into Fury's body causing her to float off the aground as her hair changes colors to a fiery orange while fuming smoke) your survival depends on what you have learned here. You must open your eyes to much more than that which gazes back you from the mirror!"

Fury rolled her eyes in annoyance before responding while heading towards the exit "Fine… can we go now?"

The Lord of Holows scoff in amusement to Fury's eagerness while informing "Not quite yet, there is the matter of Arbaxis to discuss."

Fury turned towards the Lord with a curious expression and asked "Abraxis?"

The Lord of Hollows further explained while forming a magical image of the Demon Lord "A Demon meddler. If Earth is to remain intact, he must be dealt with! (Fury forms a suspicious glare) He threatens your "Balance" his very soul must be brought (dismisses the magical image and gestures hand towards himself) to me."

Fury raised a brow and questioned "I see. And you want me to do it?"

The Lord of Hollows gave a weak jest "Who better?"

Fury responded with a playful tone "I'll consider it. No guarantees."

The Lord of Hollows formed an annoyed expression before ordered "Then you and your Watcher… begone!"

Fury began to take her leave from the Lord of Hollow's presence who turned towards the bedding and flicked his head causing it to erupt into flames revealing a small stone crate. The Lord of Hollows using his right hand lifted the crate from within the ground and opened it revealing a deck of golden cards with blue diamond shapes on the back covers as the Lord of Hollows flips one over.

The card had an image of a large hulking brute of a creature whose body was made by a mass of black tentacles that had yellow underbellies, giving the creature's large muscular arms the illusion of glowing veins. The creature wore a three horned skull helmet while his arms that were made of tentacles coiled around inside two large gauntlets while it wore jagged and sharp draconic armor while wielding a large axe had oozed black sludge.

But behind the creature was two pair of yellow glowing slanted eyes as the title of the card read:

"The Harbinger"
