Warning, one of the sadder parts of the story will be this chapter.
Newgate clenched his hands around Murakumogiri, staring at the three ancient kings. The city had had known for the better half of 500 years was ablaze, demons and angels fought on the streets. Shaking away any reluctance he had, Newgate made the first move and made a wide sweep with Murakumogiri, channeling the Gura-Gura demonic powers he had, sending the shockwave towards the three kings.
Alfred moved out of the way while Richard held up his shield. Arthur in the meantime swung Excalibur and met Murakumogiri head-on, the force of the two legendary blades meeting resonating and causing a large scale explosion. "Enough of this Arthur, I'm doing what I can to prevent a war and keep my family safe!"
Arthur had a somber look on his face as the blades were locked together. "So am I. Akainu has imprisoned all non-combatants of Heaven to avoid rebellion and protests, and Saint Michael allows it all. They've imprisoned Merlin and my sister, so until this is all said and done, I'm fighting to free them."
Newgate's eyes turned from furious to somber. "Then help us. Prevent this war, let me get to the hotel to prevent this war. My family in Heaven is already working on a plan to ensure that they can all get out safe and sound, they can save your mentor and sister."
Arthur took a deep breath before redrawing from the fight. "I see a spark in you I haven't seen in a very long time, Edward Newgate. I believe in you, believe in the fact that you are no longer the evil man that you once were."
Alfred scoffed as Richard looked conflicted. "He's a demon Arthur, they lie all the time! If you will not deal with him- ""No Alfred!" Richard responded with a conflicted tone. "We have been lied to. Admiral Akainu has lied to us, and Saint Michael has let this vendetta with Whitebeard consume him."
Alfred rolled his eyes before a woman with black sunglasses and short white hair landed beside Newgate with a small grin on her face. "Sup old man?" Newgate rolled his eyes with a small smile. "You're still older than me Justice." She shrugged with a laugh. "I sensed you were in action, and I didn't want to miss it. So who ya fighting?"
"Right now, no one. Me and King Arthur had a clash and if you want, you can fight King Alfred. King Richard and Arthur won't trouble us, Arthur may even help us."
She hummed softly. "Been awhile since I've fought a king, sure why not?" She cracked her knuckles before Alfred looked indignant. "See? This is what he resorts to, sending a blind woman to fight us!"
She laughed. "Oh buddy, I'm a hell lot stronger than I look. You're looking at the former high prosecutor of Hell. As for me being blind, look at as me handicapping myself for you since from what I can sense, you're going to need all the help you can get."
Newgate chuckled before hearing another explosion. 'Shit, gotta go!' He turned and looked over his shoulder. "Arthur, Richard, I know you two aren't bad people. Fight with us, return honor that Heaven once had." With those final words, he leapt through the sky.
Meanwhile at the VVV studios
Velvet was gritting her teeth as she had a mallet in hands as she was clashing with an angel with a sword. Vox was doing his best to fight off five other angels as she glared deathly at the angel. The angel had a cold, calculating look on his face. "You've been around the criminal Edward Newgate. His presence lingers on you like a stain."
She growled, "Of course I would be, he's my adoptive father!" The look on his face turned grave as he sneered. "Then by all rights, you will die from the sins of your "father". I, former vice admiral Onigumo, will deliver justice."
"LIKE HELL YOU WILL!" She shouted in rage as her eyes glowed an enraged red as her strength increased, smashing the mallet against the vice admiral turned angel's sword. "I'M NOT GOING TO DIE FROM SOME PIECE OF SHIT LIKE YOU WHO THINKS THAT ABSOLUTE JUSTICE GARBAGE IS THE RIGHT PATH! NOT WHEN I'VE ALREADY DIED ONCE FROM SOMEONE WHO THOUGHT LIKE YOU YOU SCUMBAG!"
Vox and the angels he was fighting stopped as they stared at the battle in shock. 'V-vel….' Onigumo grit his teeth as he was being pushed back. Velvet was on a rampage, smashing him back through a wall as she set her mallet down and quickly conjured potions.
"I will not die like that, not from you pieces of shit ever again! I had to watch a man that raised my like a father die before! Then my mentor, and then my husband who went out to avenge his brother from you scum!" She threw potions at the angel, the effects ranging from fire, to poison, to just about anything. She panted as she looked up and gripped her mallet. "Any of you fuckers want more?!"
The angels that were fighting Vox flew off in fear as Vox was wide eyed. "V-Velvet….. I never knew…. Wait, where's Valentino?"
Her anger dissipating, responded "I don't know, I haven't seen him since the angels bust through." Vox's eyes widened before he went over to the computer in the room, typing rather quickly as it was restored to its pristine condition. "You don't think." Velvet responded softly.
"He's had it out for the princess when she admitted Angel to her hotel. Please tell me I'm wrong…" He kept typing, hacking through security programs with ease, showing why he was the television demon and an expert hacker. His eyes widened as the view came up of the hotel. Demons and angels were fighting on the property of the vicinity, and what would shock them more in this current manner was that there were even some demons fighting other demons.
"No….. he wouldn't…. I didn't think his hatred would go that far…" Velvet's eyes widened as well. "Shit. We gotta get down there now! Can you put aside your hatred and beef with Alastor until this shit is over?"
Vox sighed softly but nodded. "I can, this is too big for us to be fighting each other over. Hell, if Cherri and Sir Pentious can set aside their differences to put the well-being of Hell at the forefront, I will try with Alastor."
He narrowed his eyes as he started to reactivate their security system. "As soon as this new swarm of fuckers are dealt with. I hope you've still got some anger left in you Vel."
Velvet grinned madly, "Oh I've got plenty of anger and rage in me. Both from my original life, and then as my reincarnated life, and this one."
At the hotel
Charlie watched from her room, hands over her mouth at all the fighting. 'W-why? I just wanted to provide a better life for everyone…..' Nifty was working overtime, killing anyone who wasn't a friend to the hotel and proceeding to clean up the bodies afterwards to keep up the tidiness of the hotel. Husker was animating his cards to either summon the creatures that were on them, to shred through enemies, and when he wasn't using his cards, he was hiding behind whatever cover he could get behind to shoot them off with his revolver.
Alastor meanwhile was fighting Valentino. "Funny thing, I didn't think you'd ever be the one who I'd be fighting. Always thought it'd be Vox."
Valentino had his wings unleashed as he puffed from his stick. "This is both personal and business for me Alastor. Get out of my way. I will be taking Angel Dust back from the little whore."
Alastor grinned madly. "Well I've been designated to protect her majesty, so I will. That and my investment."
Valentino huffed before slipping on knuckledusters, gold ones. "Even I have to get down and dirty, though it isn't the way I like."
Vaggie meanwhile was gritting her teeth, holding her spear as there were cuts and scraps littering her body, her battle clothes barely clinging onto her. "Hijo de la puta….. I WILL NOT LET YOU HARM HER!" She roared as she sent out a shockwave of aura as her spear met a demon, and then an angel as she stood at the front entrance of the hotel.
Lucifer meanwhile was staring deathly at his brother. "What do you hope to accomplish here Michael?" Lilith meanwhile was facing off Uriel, succubus queen and Hellguard queen flying through the skies. Michael stared at Lucifer, uninterested. "I'm finishing what Father started. Hell needs to be exterminated for hope to light through humanity."
Lucifer scoffed as he crossed his arms. "Even you don't believe that bullshit Michael. This is about Newgate isn't it? Are you still embarrassed by the fact that he was winning until He showed up to stop it, or are you still pissed off that he chose the ultimate sacrifice and that he's down here?" Lucifer finished with a smug smirk.
Michael, in a rare show of anger, growled. "I will not let a second Armageddon happen." Lucifer frowned. "Look around you Michael! You are causing the second Armageddon! The riders are gone, there is no more Satan, no more Destroyer! Hell may have started the Apocalypse the first time, but you are starting the second one! There is no Charred Council to save our asses either!"
Michael smirked. "No Charred Council to save your ass you mean. They are the only reason that the Riders didn't strike you down the first time." Lucifer growled before gripping his sword, a simple fencing one. "You will not stop me in what I've come for Lucifer."
Akainu marched up to the hotel, looking up at the gates. "For he is here, and his plan for Newgate will succeed." Akainu's hands lit up in magma before he stared at the hotel. "There will be no redemption, only Absolute Justice." He lifted his arms up and shot out magma fists, aiming for every single demon and the hotel itself. Vaggie saw this with wide eyes. "Everyone, duck and cover!" Vaggie ducked into the hotel as Husker used what cards he could to summon monsters that could take the blows. Charlie meanwhile gasped as she saw it all with tears in her eyes before her eyes glowed.
"YOU WILL NOT HARM MY PEOPLE OR MY ESTABLISHMENT!" She enacted a barrier over the hotel to protect it from the magma fists. She grit her teeth as they kept coming, no end to them.
Raphael meanwhile kicked Alastor down into the ground with a scowl. "Stay down you son of a bitch." Alastor chuckled softly. "My mother was a wonderful individual, SO DON'T BRING HER INTO THIS!" Alastor roared as he went full demon mode as Raphael crossed his arms. "I'm not impressed." His gold gauntlets shined brightly, pushing back Alastor's darkness.
Alastor swung more tentacles out as Raphael dodged past them with ease before slamming his fist into Alastor's cheek, knocking him out. "Stay down, you piece of shit."
Akainu frowned before his eyes took a dangerous glint. His red magma turned black before he rained down more magma fists onto the hotel. Charlie grit her teeth as she tried to hold the barrier up before it shattered and Charlie fell back, Vaggie catching her in her arms.
Akainu marched up to the hotel slowly with a dark look. He kicked open the doors to the establishment. Vaggie glared at him hatefully as Charlie looked up weakly. "W-why?" He glared darkly at them. "For justice, and to ensure Whitebeard's ultimate demise." Vaggie roared as she shot up with her spear. "LIKE HELL!" Akainu just slapped her away, the spear clattering to the ground as she was sent through a table.
"VAGGIE!" Charlie screamed in horror, her scream resonating throughout Hell.
With Lucifer and Michael
He heard her scream, his daughter's scream. He felt numbness fill his being before overwhelming rage. "YOU BASTARD! YOU WOULD FUCKING DARE LAY A FINGER ON MY DAUGHTER!" He roared out with anger, fighting back with ferocity against his brother. Michael smirked darkly as he blocked his blows.
With Whitebeard (Insert the scene from Disney's Hercules with Hercules rushing to save Megara, that music since I can't seem to find the song anywhere really)
His eyes widened in fear and rage, hearing Charlie's agony. He leapt further and further to reach the hotel. 'Come on, come on…' He landed with a small crack in front of the gates to the hotel. "No…." He saw the melted bodies of demons littering the property. He grabbed his chest as flashes of Marineford passed by, seeing the dead bodies of his children, the allies he had made. No angels in sight beside the dead bodies, the invasion was over.
His eyes widened further in horror, seeing the charred and melted down rubble that was the Happy Hotel. He ran over and to it. Flashes of the Moby Dick passing through his mind, the burned ship that he sailed for years from Marineford still lingering.
He quickly started to dig out the rubble. "Come on…. Come on!" The few demons that lived nearby came out with sorrow, fear and remorse. He called out to them. "Get whoever is still living to the hospitals! Dig through the remains of the hotel to see who we can save!" He saw the reluctance in their eyes. "NOW!" He ordered.
He heard coughing as he quickly ran over to the spot, pulling off fallen wood and stone as he saw Nifty, Husker and Vaggie, with the small cyclopean woman holding up a small barrier to protect the three. "M-mister Newgate….." The cyclopean maid whispered with a small smile before passing out, the barrier dropping with her.
Husk was out cold and Vaggie was slipping in and out of consciousness. "Vaggie! Stay with me dear. What happened?" Vaggie coughed slightly. "V-Valentino…. Attacked with demons….. came looking for Angel and Charlie….."
Speaking of said demon, Angel Dust came up with two of his arms in casts and looking worse for wear. "I-I wasn't here…. Went to go help out dad and the family with the invasion, saved my sister and brother…" Vaggie looked up weakly with a weak chuckle. "H-he wanted you back…. His forces were….. reinforcing the angels…"
Whitebeard bent down and picked her up bridal style. "Who? Who was leading them?" She coughed. "A-A dark skinned man…. L-looked like Saint Raphael…. And a man… h-he had a white hat with Marine written on it… H-he took Charlie…" Vaggie passed out as Newgate stood frozen as Cherri came up, nursing her own bruises.
"I'll take her old man…" She said, taking Vaggie from him as Newgate was frozen. He stood there, seeing the handcuffed Ace on the execution platform. Sengoku with him alongside the two executioners, Ace looking battered and worn down.
He clenched his fists tightly, seeing Ace take the blow for Mugiwara. The scenes playing through his mind as if they just happened. "AKAINUUUUU!" He roared out as the very foundations of Hell and Heaven shook from his anger and rage before he slammed his fists down into the ground, causing an earthquake.
Lucifer and Lilith rode up to the hotel in their limo and grimaced, seeing the destruction. The destruction throughout Pentagram City was outlandish, even from the disputes that Cherri had with Sir Pentious. Lilith gasped as she saw the smoldering hotel ruins and Newgate on his knees, looking defeated.
Lucifer walked up to him with a dreadful feeling in his stomach. "Newgate….. where is Charlie? Where is my daughter?" Newgate refused to look up at them as Lilith started sobbing. "Taken…. By that magma bastard."
Lucifer growled in anger, not at Newgate but at himself. Disappointed in himself that he couldn't beat Michael faster, angered at the fact that he waved off Newgate's warnings about this Akainu fellow.
Some of the demons whispered amongst themselves. Lucifer looked around. "Where's Alastor? He was here protecting the hotel." Alastor came up from a different set of rubble, coughing as his glasses were broke. "What happened Overlord? Why couldn't you protect her? You could've easily dealt with Akainu!" Lucifer demanded as he grabbed Alastor's damaged jacket roughly.
"Raphael and Valentino…. I was manhandling Valentino, but then Raphael showed up and pummeled me into the ground." Lucifer let go of him as Vox and Velvet ran up to them.
Vox spoke up, surprising many who knew of the television demon's feud with the radio demon. "He's right. The angels attacked us at the VVV studios, Valentino was nowhere to be seen. Between the first attack and the second attack on us, I managed to hack into the hotel's security system and saw Valentino leading his men to the hotel and fighting with the forces you assigned to her, Lord Lucifer."
Some murmurs were heard as Velvet spoke up. "Heaven has taken full action against us when we haven't done anything wrong. What are we going to do?" She asked, looking between Lucifer and Whitebeard.
Whitebeard stood up, letting loose his demonic form as he rose to his full height. His eye that had threatened to spill tears just a few minutes ago were now narrowed and glowing a dangerous glow of red and yellow. "Now. Now I end this. I'm going to the gates of Heaven, I'm going to break those gates down, save Princess Charlotte Morningstar, give that bastard Akainu his final death and end this this war."
Lucifer looked at him. "No you're not. You're not going alone damn it! If Akainu has this much pull to be able to do something like this with the approval of the Angelic High Council, then what else has he managed to get done? You could be walking straight into a trap Newgate!"
"He's going to make it a spectacle Lucifer. He's going to execute Charlie, just like he tried to do to Ace at Marineford. I am not letting history repeat itself. I'm the only one who can take them on, I fought Michael to a standstill."
Lucifer growled. "Damn it Newgate, you're not going alone! They have numbers in the billions! You can't fight all of them!"
(Insert This Means War by Avenged Sevenfold)
Newgate looked at the crowd. He addressed them, knowing that some had lost family and friends to the combined demonic and angelic forces. "I told you before that this peace wouldn't last Lucifer." He looked remorseful before turning serious.
"We wanted to live peacefully by ourselves, without their interference, and they came up with this Extermination Day to cull our numbers. Why? Because they feared us. Now, it wasn't enough. They turned two of our own against us, and kidnapped our princess, a girl who only wanted to make our lives better." He looked to see the anger rising in them.
"They created this war because they were afraid of us. From what I heard, we nearly won during the Apocalypse. The Riders were the Charred Council's way of balancing and preventing Armageddon. There are no Riders, no Charred Council and Heaven has created war. It's time we fight back!"
Some cheers were being heard as he continued. "They think us as monsters, I say we show them who the true monsters are! I will not let this insult sit! We will burn Heaven down to the ground, like they did to our precious princess's hotel!" The cheers were growing louder.
"THIS IS WAR, AND WE WILL SHOW THEM WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRAP A DEMON IN A CORNER!" Everyone was cheering as Newgate raised his fist up. "FOR PRINCESS CHARLOTTE MORNINGSTAR!" Everyone repeated it as Newgate looked at Lucifer. "Get all the sins to provide me with angelic metal, I will get to work on ensuring that we're prepared to destroy Akainu and his followers."
Lucifer frowned at taking orders, but nodded, seeing a united Hell for the first time in millennia. Newgate walked through the crowd with a purpose as his eyes narrowed. 'You wanted me Akainu, you're going to get me. And I'm a hell of a lot stronger than I was back then, and there's no disease to kill me this time.'
(End song)
Whitebeard was seen a few days later at the tallest mountain of Hell, colorfully named Mount Doom. He chuckled lowly and bitterly at the irony of the name. He had no shirt or jacket on, showing his bare chest. They were laborers everywhere, running throughout the mountain as it was the best place for what he needed to do.
Henroin was bringing the shipment up to him. "This is it boss, all the angelic metal that Lucifer and the sins were able to bring up. He's currently hunting down Valentino and Helsa for their roles in the invasion."
Newgate nodded softly, seeing large pallets of Angelic Metal being brought forth. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he grabbed a large hammer. With his demonic powers, he brought the metal in and started to mold it, both to liquid states and keeping it solid while getting to work on creating new weapons made from the metal.
The sounds of him banging metal with his hammer was heard throughout Hell and Heaven.
Meanwhile in Heaven
The sound of blacksmithing could be heard, making some of the archangel commanders nervous. The citizens that were being evacuated were terrified, both by the evacuation and the sound. Oddly, it seemed like drums were being played as well.
"I-it's just like that Lord of the Rings movie I saw when I was alive." "They wouldn't, all of it was made up right?" "Sauron can't possibly be real can he?" were the murmurs of the heaven bound citizens. Gabriel looked on in worry. "They're right in their fears. If Hell is preparing for war, and if He is real, then we would have so much more of a difficult time to finish this."
Michael crossed his arms. "We do this to secure a better future Gabriel. With the death of Charlotte Morningstar, Hell will crumble and show how right we were about them, especially Lucifer."
Gabriel glanced at him. "Even if that is true, we lost King Arthur down there. And that means we lost Excalibur, one of Heaven's greatest weapons. Have you even thought of how Jesus is going to react to all of this?"
Michael scoffed. "The boy scout doesn't need to worry. I have everything planned for and ready to be taken care of; Hell will not get past the gates of heaven. Akainu's project of Marineford before the Gates of Heaven will ensure that."
"You've put a lot of trust in a man that deserves to burn for eternity for the crimes that he's done Michael. You know Father won't accept this, any of this." Gabriel said with a frown.
Meanwhile, in the deepest pits of the Pride Ring
Lucifer could be seen, walking throughout a prison. The worst of the worst was held captive here. Those who threatened Lucifer's reign, to those who would never change their ways, at least to Lucifer's way of liking. "I'm here to see the warden." He had told the guards.
He had walked past three specific prison cells that were empty. Names were stationed at the top of them that read: Kaido, Charlotte Linlin and Marshal D. Teach. The reason for those being empty was due to the fact that Whitebeard had killed all three when they had tried to escape and conquer Hell for their own purposes.
You may be thinking "why didn't the warden deal with them at all?" The answer to that question is because the warden thought it'd be entertaining, and he was bored at the time.
Lucifer pushed open the door to the warden's office and looked at the man responsible for a prison that had better security than even the human's Alcatraz Prison. "Warden, I need your assistance once more."
The warden had a small smirk on his face. "Oh and do t- "" It's Charlie." The warden's mouth closed as his smirk faded. "What." "Those bastards of Heaven have taken her, kidnapped her as I was fighting Michael, and Newgate was fighting off old enemies." He dropped to his knees. "I gave you that gift long ago, when God had forsaken you, and I need your help."
The warden looked at him as he tipped his hat up slightly to show his red-tinted glasses. "Now Luci." "Please don't call me that." "There was a big party down here, and I wasn't invited to it?" "You know I only let you free whenever it's a truly desperate situation."
The warden swung his arms out. "Well this is a pretty big fucking desperate situation now isn't it! Your daughter, your heir apparent, has gone missing, the big man isn't punishing those responsible, so that leaves you me. Your ultimate, and secret weapon." He replied with a mad grin.
"Newgate won't be able to stop them himself to free her. Please, I'm asking you this as father to father." "She isn't my daughter but okay." "Bring back Charlie, and I'll allow you to roam as freely as you want, not having you tied down to being the warden of this accursed prison."
The figure stood there before walking to his cabinet, grabbing his twin pistols and loading them up. "How many bodies do you want between me and her?" "However many it takes to bring her back." Lucifer responded darkly.
The figure laughed. "Oh Christ how I've missed this side of you Lucifer! Now I just need one last thing before I go on a walk; say my name."
Lucifer sighed. "Do we really have to do this?" "Only if you want Charlie to be brought back in one piece. Hehe, One Piece."
Lucifer pinched his nose and groaned before the very air grew colder. "Bring back my daughter and I will release you from your bonds of Pentagram Prison! The king of the Underworld! A darker entity than all others I have created!"
As Lucifer's chant continued, it echoed throughout the entire world, to Heaven, Earth, and Hell. Michael's eyes widened, as did Gabriel. "No…. He wouldn't." Gabriel closed his eyes. "You have brought this upon yourself Michael."
"I RELEASE YOU FROM YOUR SERVITUDE, GRAND MASTER OF DARKNESS AND THE KING OF ALL THINGS UNHOLY! RISE! ALUCARD!"
Oh yeah… Heaven really fucked up this time. Lucifer has not only released the full power of Whitebeard and the powers of a united Hell onto them, but he's released the grand smack daddy of them all, Alucard, onto them. And yes, it's THAT Alucard, Hellsing's Alucard. I'm mixing a lot of stuff into this story and I know it's going well! Like, review! Favorite! Whatever it is you folks do!
