Slater and the druid step out of the portal and into the world stone chamber. Baal is standing there directly in front of them. "Welcome chosen one, to your death." Slater quirks an eyebrow. "If you think that you're going to stop me, you're insane. Not after I've come this far." Slater can see the portal to Heel directly behind Baal. The druid laughs. "He's right you know. Besides, the Outcast killed you in a single shot the last time." Baal frowns. "The Outcast is stronger than both of you combined. Of course he killed me!" Slater smirks. "Well, perhaps it'll take us two shots then." Slater runs at Baal with his dagger raised. The druid follows suit. Slater slits Baal's throat as the druid cuts him through the chest. "Yup, two shots." Baal falls dead onto the ground. "Ok druid, I'm on my own from here. No matter what happens, DO NOT enter the portal." The druid smiles. "Yes Slater, I understand. Good luck." The druid leaves through the portal back to Andariel's chamber while Slater enters the one to Hell.

"Lile, Slater has reached the outside of the fortress. I'd appreciate it if you took care of him." Lile gives the Outcast a strange look. "What about your brothers and sisters?" The Outcast shrugs. "From everything they've done since I revived them, I honestly haven't gotten to the point of trusting them again. I'd prefer it if you took care of him instead. Meanwhile, I'll stay here and help your apprentice get the rest of her memory back." Lile shrugs. "Ok, I suppose, if that's what you want." "It is." Lile stands and walks from the room.

Slater walks through the main gate of the fortress. "Well, that was strangely easy." Andariel appears in front of him seconds later. "Chosen one." Slater gets into a battle stance. "Andariel! So the Outcast has revived you already?" Andariel smiles. "Chosen one, I have an offer for you. I can help you defeat Lile." Slater quirks an eyebrow. "Why should I trust the likes of you?" "The Outcast, he trusts that woman more than his own family. I suppose I'm partly to blame for that. However, him doing this destroys our honor, he believes that she's more powerful than all seven other evils combined. I want to prove my worth to my brother." Slater sighs. "Very well, but one wrong move and you're dead."

"Hello Outcast." The Outcast smirks. "Hello Slater. This is the first time I've seen you in your true form since we met in the fallen's cave." Slater laughs. "Yes brother, I'm sorry for that. You were growing in power and we all grew afraid of you." The Outcast laughs as well. "Yes Slater, I understand. Besides, it ended up being worse for you. You had the demon sucked right out of you. I'd rather be dead than become a human!" Slater sighs. "That's true." "Anyways, I've seen the future Slater, and it's important that you do as I say or we will all be killed." "What? What is it?" The Outcast stares directly into Slater's eyes. "I need you to leave to the surface, and you must find a place to hide. You must remain there for a thousand years. You must do nothing to cause you to be found by anyone. If you do this, we will survive." Slater is unsure of how this will help. "Well, Ok. I'll do it to make up for what I did to you." The Outcast bows. "Thank you Slater." Slater turns and exits the fortress through a portal to the surface.

"Slater, do you remember your visions? When Diablo was released by Lile?" Slater thinks back for a moment and then nods. "Yes, he had been sealed down here. However, when Lile opened each of the three seals, he was released." "Exactly. You must use the seals on Lile." Slater thinks again. "The seal will only affect the evils." Andariel shakes her head. "No, it absorbs evil. Evils are pure evil, and so, are absorbed entirely. In Lile's case, she'll become untainted. Long enough for her to willingly kill herself so as to not become tainted again." "Are you assuming or are you sure?" Andariel shrugs. "She will become untainted, but whether she will kill herself or not is uncertain." "Seems like a big risk for you." Andariel smirks. "But not for you." "That's true." With these words, Lile enters the room with Diablo's seal in it. "Ohhh chosen one! I know you're in here!" Andariel turns to Slater. "I'll distract her, hit the seals as quickly as possible!" Andariel jumps down from the ledge she had been standing on. "Lile! I want to continue our fight." Lile laughs to herself for a moment. "I'm busy Andariel, I must destroy the chosen one." Slater begins running to the first seal with as much stealth as he can manage. Andariel blocks Lile's view of him. "No! You will fight me first!" Lile sighs. "Very well." Andariel backs up to the center of the room, where the seal becomes fully activated. Slater activates the first seal and begins running for the next one. Lile runs at Andariel. "Let's make this quick." Lile hits Andariel in the face with her fist. Andariel stumbles backwards. Andariel immediately counterattacks with her huge claws. Lile moves to the side, avoiding the claw entirely. "Haven't you learned yet Andariel? You're no match for me." Slater activates the second seal. Lile grabs Andariel by her neck. "Are you ready to die again Andariel?" Lile slowly brings her dagger to Andariel's neck and smirks. The Outcast rushes into the room. "Lile! Move!" Slater activates the third and final seal. The room begins to shake and the center begins to glow brightly. "Andariel is sucked into the ground immediately. Lile stands there, unable to move. An apparent pure black cloud leaves Lile through her mouth and shoots through the floor. Slater watches all of this before looking again at the Outcast. "Lile! Are you alright?" Lile holds her head with one hand for a moment and wobbles slightly. She then lowers her hand and glares at the Outcast, steadying herself. "Outcast, for the first time since I had been in Lut Gohlein with my apprentice, I finally feel just perfect. You have controlled me for far too long!" The Outcast looks worried. "Lile, what of the plans? We were to be the rulers of Hell!" Lile smirks. "The plans have changed. Slater, I want you to leave, I will take care of this myself." Slater stares at Lile for a moment. "But…I-" "Do as I say!" Slater runs from the room as Lile and the Outcast begin their fight. The entire building shakes continuously, magma shoots from the floors at random intervals and Slater remains trapped inside. He runs as fast his legs will allow him and finally sees the main gate ahead. The ceiling collapses in front of it. "No!" Slater tries as hard as hard as he can to remove the heavy stones from the exit. It's already getting well past too late; the fortress is sinking beneath the lava and there's no longer anything preventing the magma from leaking in. With no other idea of how to escape, he begins running back to Lile.
