Nero let out a scream as he ran to face Urizen. His sword gripped tightly in his hand. He stairs the demon down as he throws himself at the demon. His lunges his sword at the Urizen, but before Nero knows it the force of his body stops moving. He froze mid air. Tentacles all wrapped around him. Preventing him from moving at all. Constituting around his body and slowly squeezing down tightly on him. He struggled to break free. He gridded his teeth in annyoic. V showed up, but lad back in the shadows.
He watched what was happening to nero. With how distracted V was, he didn't notice the purple light coming from behind him. The light then shot out; hitting V in the process. Sending him flying through the air and his body hit impact against a boulder. V fell to the ground. His vision started to fade as the light slow engulfed him.
V's eyelids slowly opened. He slowly awoke to the running of a bell. The bell chimed. It was rhythmic and almost hypnotizing. V slowly sat up. He looked around his surroundings. He had been laying in a alleyway. Something about this seemed off. The man couldn't pinpoint what happened. His memory was a blur up to Nero's fight. Little did the tattooed man know what lied in wait for him. He sighed and got up.
"Just another step back to reclaiming myself."
"Now, V buddy. Cheer up!" Griffin chimed in with a carefree tone. The feathery blue bird demon appeared next to him.
"At this rate I'll be dead, before long." V exclaimed with a sigh.
"Don't say that V. Besides we still have plenty of time before-." Griffin flaps around the lanky man.
"Before I die. Yes I know, but I am still running out. With every second we waist talking." He tapped his cain and started making his way to the opening of the alley.
"V wait up!" Griffin sighed and grumbled to himself. While trying to catch up to V. The two went into the light of the lite street corner. It didn't look familiar at all. The street was vacant yet lively. With the glow of the light form the building and the people who lived inside. Swear started to run down V's face. Realizing that this wasn't right. The town should be abandoned and rotting. This was unfamiliar and he couldn't put his finger on it.
