by Zer0the0mega108

The adventures of Ragna Redgrave continue as he faces new challenges: such as Gods, Devils, and even lovers. The Son of Sparda continues to evolve and grow in the next chapter of the Devil's Justice Saga. OC/Harem. Current Arc: Itsy Bitsy Devil.

1. Chapter 1

...Oh...Well hello there. We are back, with a new year, and a new chapter in the Saga of Ragna Redgrave within the Devil Justice Universe (DJU). I apologize for the lack of ADJ main story, but as you could tell I was working on side stories and one shots and working on new short stories cause I wanted to expand on writing new franchises. I am so excited to be back in writing ADJ, and volume 2 is gonna be so much fun! But first lets get into the review responses, these are all from the last chapter of Volume 1.

Linkonpark100: Yeah, yeah I did have Harley originally planned to appear but saved for time constrain. I promise she is gonna be in this volume. Enjoy!

Messiah of Authors: TBF everyone has a huge weight on their plate, Ragna is not the exception, and don't worry John is gonna have a nice character development with Ragna as the beginning of the series goes on. Like I said in V1, he is the stern but caring uncle. Enjoy!

Kival737101: Indeed, shit gets crazy. Good question but I don't have an answer cause it's not like every episode from the show is gonna be several chapters long. The top of my head is Paradise Lost, Pilot, Twilight, and...well my timeline is long so I'll have to look through it again. Enjoy!

Jebest4781: Thanks I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Yeah I gotta a lot on my plate, but I'm mostly gonna focus on the main volumes and the Specials since they take place between each volume. HA! Funny enough I had two little storylines based on that, but one of them involved Doggo. Enjoy!

KingofthePhantomDragon: Thanks, I think I'm not very good at story (At least making them perfect) but I like to think writing fights is where I work best at. Yes, his chances are very slim but rewarding lol. I'm really open to any idea in Fluff and Puff since it's just a bunch of fun random slice of life moments so I do plan to do some babysitting. Enjoy!

xXwolfsterXx644: I wanna talk about this guy for a second, this man here went through the greatest character arc in my story. From just saying the same thing over and over again to finally saying more. I'm not being rude, I'm like actually very happy and glad you like my story. Enjoy!

Allstar912: Thanks, and now the wait is over! Enjoy!

Dragonfan6: Well thanks I'm glad you enjoyed reading the story. It's probably a lot better reading it one go then waiting but that might be me. Well it's a little more than that, it's not like he's gonna making constructs its more like fueling his source of power and it is part of an ongoing storyline that spreads across the saga and is very fundamental force of nature in DC Comics. I'll admit maybe I should've done more with Hippolyta, but the main point is that nothing was gonna so easily change the laws. Well your answer in it being separate has been answered, and I hope you enjoy!

Gwb620: Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed the finale as much as I did. I hope you enjoy the beginning of this newest chapter in the adventure.

Neroblaze11: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the finale. Well John isn't gonna be an ass forever and he has his reasons, they are good reasons. Enjoy!

Kujore Oluwarotimi Abraham: (Looks at harem)...Probably won't say anything. Enjoy!

Bromega2477: LOL thanks, I glad you loved it! Enjoy!

Randomguy0110100100110: Yes, it was slow but hopefully I can get the harem up to speed in this volume, which I will. Enjoy!

Jobro89: Thanks! I hope you like the new story!

Raidentensho: Thanks. Uh something like that, it's a bit of everything, no legs will ever appear like a stan. Little bit of Susanoo mixed in there soon too (When Heaven's Shadow finishes). Will there be more weapons next volume? Um can't say for sure. I did have one but I don't I will simply for story reasons that I will explain when this arc is over. Enjoy!

Blindluck92: Lol, I'm glad you really enjoyed this chapter, it took a lot to write and poured my heart into it. Oh yeah, thumbs up pose indeed lol. Oh yes, Batman will remember that, and I'm gonna enjoy it. A lot happened, and it only gets worse...and sometimes better, from here. Enjoy!

Yakuza2010: Yes, it will not be easy with Donna around. Hmm, I don't know what I have planned with Fury/Aresia's episode since I really don't have anything crazy planned with it. We'll see, in the future. Enjoy!

SaiyaSage: LOL thanks, I did deserve that ten. I work really hard for that. Hmm, yes it does make Ragna a little selfish, almost makes ya think I had it planned. Wel spoilers, if Hippolyta is gonna be punished it's not because Hades almost broke out I'll tell ya that. Yeah maybe Ragna does see himself above such things since he's the hero, almost like thats one of the building storylines with his development, along with holding the burden all by himself and others such as this arc putting emphasis on a toxic thing that I will address at the final chapter of the arc. Things do not go pretty for this arc, at least near the end, and Ragna makes an unhealthly choice (Not drug related). So I hope you enjoy this new chapter in the saga.

UnseenUrge: Yes, yes everything is gonna get even crazier. I hope you enjoy.

Break Bread: Seriously is there a way to review twice. I felt like I tried before and it never works! I digress. Okay so I'm not sure where this unnatural amount of malice is coming from. It's pretty normal reactions, out of the whole League John is the most stern, it's not malice it's being stern. Your on chapter eight? The only other characters would be the Hobo but obviously theres more to him, and Kara but she's just being a tsundere. There's also the people of Redgrave but theres history that I haven't revealed and it goes into this arc as well. There was the bully but it wasn't a big deal so it's not like that matters. It's part of a whole thing Ragna goes through for development, becoming more self-confident and standing up for himself (Especially when we get into the Warworld story arc, one of my favorites at the beginning.). I don't think I ever said my character was an underdog, but okay? You mean scenarios that I have written cause I wanted him to fight the characters and it helped set plot points in motion? Cause yeah, that's how stories work. I appreciate what you're trying to say, I don't fully agree with it, but I understand.

BatWolf20: Probably not. Sry. Enjoy tho.

Hzmslm4: ...Okay, that's not dramatic at all. Weird, it's almost like in the first chapter I based his design around Nero, and his personality on Goku from Dragon Ball and Vash from Trigun. It's almost like if ya READ the story you would know. Wow, blushing, it's Armageddon everyone, run for your lives I made character blush. Again, I didn't base him on Dante, the only thing I got from Dante is color scheme but everyone guy in DMC has white hair. No disrespect would be my character beating Dante easily if he ever showed up, but go off sure. I don't really see the point of the review, did you just wanna throw your two cent in? cause PM's are for that. Whatever, the doors right over there, I don't really care enough.

And with that let's continue with the story, but first:

Disclaimer: I own no one but my OC, everyone else is owned by multiple corporations.

Now onto Volume 2!

Chapter One: Itsy Bitsy Devil Part One: The Itsy Bitsy Spider

(A Devil's Justice)

"And here is the last stop for our tour Ladies and Gentlemen, with the fabled 'Egg of Inferno'." The female Educator stated as she guided the tourist group towards the last exhibit of the Mythological Section of the Redgrave Museum. The group stood in front of a glass cage, a strange egg inside. The outer shell was stone with hardened magma spiraling around it, alien like, nothing anyone has ever seen.

"This egg was one of the first findings during the construction of Redgrave City, found by Treasure Hunter and Archeologist Carter Hall in an underground cavern. Carter Hall believed it to be the last egg of a long lost Dinosaur species undiscovered until this egg." The woman explained. The tourist was taking pictures, while one sole individual stared at the egg with a look of amusement.

"Well, that is the end of the tour ladies and gents, please follow me to the front doors. If you wish to buy anything our Souvenir Stand is at the front desk." With that, the tour guide led the group out of the room and down the hall, leading all but one. The individual was hidden in shadows, his eyes focused on the egg, knowing it's true purpose.

"Oh, how I missed this." The being stated, reaching out with one hand, the entire limb turning monstrous as the long silver claws cut through the glass like butter. Immediately the alarms blared across the museum, sending everyone who had not left into a panic as the windows and doors went into lockdown.

"That smell…..intoxicating." It growled, grabbing the egg and pulling it out of the cage, the sounds became nothing but music to its ears. From his mouth, red smoke flew out and covered the egg, just as footsteps echoed in the room.

"Hands in the air!" The Security Guards ordered as it turned to face them.

"That noise….music to my ear."

"Drop the egg and put your hands in the air!" Another one ordered, feeling an air of uneasiness from this….terrifying individual. It's body was obscured in shadow, which seemed incredibly impossible. They watched as it turned to face them, lifting it's arms into the air, before dropping the egg. The egg rolled across the floor before stopping in front of the security guards feet, one of them reaching down and taking it in their hand.

"Now keep your hands in the air an-!"

CRACK

"What the hell!" The one guard cried out, feeling something shake in his hand, accidentally dropping the egg in the process. The guards looked down in shock seeing the once dead and empty ancient egg begin shaking, cracks spreading across the shell. Finally, the egg shattered, red albumen splattering across the ground. In the history of Redgrave, not many knew what sort of creature was once inside, some believed it to be a dinosaur but what they weren't expecting was this thing? It's body appeared to be molten lava, with a rocky exterior. The creature was stuck on its back for a second before rolling back on its eight legs, letting out a screech of anguish as it looked up at the security guards.

"GRAH!" The creature roared before spewing hot magma from it's maw, spitting in a guard's face. The security guard screamed in pain as his face began melting from the lava, kicking the other guards into action. They shot at the creature but to their shock the bullets merely bounced off or melted from the lava skin. The creature hissed and ignored the pain as it crawled onto the now dead guard, forcing his mouth open and crawling into his throat. All was silent for a straight minute, the guards ignoring their original thief for a second as they stared at the dead body of their friend…right before his body began shaking.

"JESUS CHRIST!" A guard cried out, watching as the now dead guard began convulsing. Like the alien from the old movie, eight larger legs bursted from the chest, the creature now much bigger than before, hissing at the guards before it grabbed another and began forcing his mouth open. The entire museum began screaming, all the meanwhile it laughed, enjoying the carnage around it.

"Ah….Chaos."

"Are you two sure you don't need me for tonight?" Ghia'ta asked, sitting on the bed as Ragna and Diana slipped on their gear, preparing for their nightly patrol together. It has been a few days since the incident with the Umbran Witch Bayonetta and the Lumen Sage Sofia, and things have mellowed down. Granted, Ragna was still a hero and crime never sleeps….cept when does according to Aya.

"Yehehs, Ghia'ta, we'll be fine." Ragna reassured, chuckling as he walked up and kissed the Zamaron Princess on her forehead, earning a cute giggle from his Sapphire.

"Besides, you need to focus on making a good impression on your first mission with Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter." Ragna said, smiling as Ghia'ta pouted in annoyance.

"Good impression….I helped defeat Hades and stopped that Sofia chick." Sure Ragna did most of the leg work defeating Sofia along with Bayonetta, but she still helped defeat the other Sages.

"I know, but this will be your first time helping the others on actual patrols and not world ending events." Ragna mused.

"It will also help the populace recognize you more often, as it will I." Diana added, remembering when the civilians didn't recognize it for a second for her lack of appearance as Wonder Woman. She made it her new mission to be recognized as an equal member of the League, and a strong heroine for the world.

"Alright, well be careful, it hasn't been that long since Hades, Ragna." Ghia'ta warned, placing a hand on his chest, her eyes drawn to his adonis physique….and where Hades pierced his chest.

"I'll be okay, Ghia'ta, this isn't my first time in life or death situations." Ragna shrugged as he gathered his gear, unaware of the cautious gaze between Ghia'ta and Diana. The two knew Ragna was clearly downplaying the event from Themyscira when it came to Hades, or that he simply wished to not talk about it.

"Come on, we should get ready and head out." With that, Ragna sheathed Morningstar and walked out of his bedroom with Diana and Ghia'ta right behind him. The others were spread out in Ragna's apartment: Aya was standing at his sink just letting the water run down her fingers, Crush was playing on his Xbox System with Koye sitting beside her, while Kori was reading one of Ragna's manga books, Tala was at his dinner table with all sorts of concoctions with a small cauldron in front of her, and Jennifer seemed to be lost in her own world with a small frown on her lips.

"Hmm….is Jennifer alright?" Ragna asked, noticing that the sorceress had been in a sort of sour mood as of late. Granted she wasn't as bubbly as Ghia'ta, she was still talkative especially to him.

"Oh, she's just been in a mood, Beloved." Tala said offhandedly, going back to her work.

"Where is my sister?" Diana asked, noticing that Donna was not in the room.

"Training on top of the roof, she found being beaten so easily by one of the Lumen Sages as she quoted: A great insult to her Amazonian Pride, so she wishes to hone her skill." Aya explained.

"I think we can use that to our advantage and get out without her noticing." Ragna suggested.

Meanwhile, Jennifer was in a trance, oh well….it was more like a sleep-like state. She usually did this to clear her mind, to ease herself and make her focus on conjuring spells. She did this in Skartaris during the times of peace, absorbing the sacred arts of magic in those lands. Up here, it was nice to block the others out when she needed to clear her head. Now…..now all she could see was Ragna.

Dying. Over and over again. And all she could do was watch it like a horror movie as Hades murdered Ragna. She wanted to scream, she wanted to run and help, but she could do nothing as Ragna died over an-

"Jennifer?"

"GAH!" Jennifer's eyes shot open as she landed in someone's arms, looking up to stare into the Son of Sparda's concerned stare.

"Jennifer, are you okay?" She realized that both Ragna, Ghia'ta, and Diana had been looking at her with concern. She realized it was all in her head, and wishing not to worry the others, she took a deep breath and regained her much more cool demeanor.

"I am alright, I was focused on perfecting the symbols of a spell….it did not go well." Jennifer lied as Ragna placed her back on feet.

"...Alright, just know I can help anyway I can." Ragna offered, smiling down at the chaotic sorceress, unaware of the touching smile in her eyes. It did not go unnoticed by Ghia'ta, who had a knowing smile on her lips, and a devious smirk on Tala's.

"Well…..we should be on our way." Diana said, picking up her shield.

"Good luck Friends!" Kori cheered, waving at them from her book.

"Whatever, it's probably gonna be a boring fight." Koye grunted, sipping on a soda.

"I wish you luck, Ragna." Aya said from the kitchen.

"...Crush?"

"Piss off Shorty, it's probably gonna suck anyways. I'll be here grinding Left 4 Dead!" The alien punk flipped them off before going back to her gaming. Jennifer on the other hand, stared at the hybrid with great concern, not for his strength….but for his safety. She knew she should put faith in him after all he had faced Deimos and the Hellspawn in Skartaris….but she couldn't let what happened in Themyscira happen again.

"I'm coming too!" Jennifer's sudden outburst caught everyone by surprise, the sorceress realizing it and blushing in embarrassment.

"I-Uh-I mean…..I think it would be wise to stretch my arms out in the field, so I could be more helpful later on…if that is alright with you, Ragna." Jennifer offered, regaining her composure and waited for the hybrid's decision. Ghia'ta had a small knowing smirk on her lips, it basically confirmed that her boyfriend had stolen another one's heart without knowing it. Of course, she wasn't the only one to see this, Tala eyed the two from her table.

"Hmm…..sure, we could always use more magic for help. You okay with that Diana?" Ragna asked.

"I see no problem with it." The Amazon answered, crossing her arms.

"What? Why does she get to go and I don't?" Ghia'ta pouted.

"Because you're already going on a mission." Ragna said with a smirk. Tala looked between the group, when she got an idea; a very fun idea.

"Allow me to join you, Beloved." Tala offered standing up from the table and walking over to Jennifer.

"I know Jennifer is of great help, but two sorceresses are better than one." Tala offered. Truth be told she didn't really care for helping, that stuff with Hades was for her own interest and earning Ragna's favor and loyalty. Diana had a small glare on her face, she was not aboard with Tala joining them, and she will not all-

"Sure, the more the merrier, come on."

"But Ragna-!"

"Come on, we can't miss any action in Redgrave." With that, Ragna kissed Ghia'tas' forehead before sliding his door and leaping outside. Looking down at the devious smirk on Tala's lips, Diana rolled her eyes before flying after him followed by Tala and Jennifer, the dark sorceress using magic to conjure shadow wings and Jennifer to conjure twister-like arms.

"Good luck Ragna!" Ghia'ta exclaimed from the door, letting out a small whine as she wished to join her boyfriend. But…..she did promise Ragna that she'd join Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter, activating her ring and slipping into her Sapphire Uniform the princess began preparation to meet with the two heroes. Who knows, maybe she can learn a thing or two from them.

"Where did the manthing go?" Donna asked as she slid the glass door open, sweat beading down her forehead.

"He and Diana went out patrolling." Aya stated.

"WHAT?! No! I will not let him corrupt her! I wil-GRK!" Before she could make a break for it, a pink hammer appeared over Donna, slamming on her head. The young Amazon landed comically on her back, stars spinning around her, and all the while Ghia'ta hummed from the kitchen.

"A new mission, I see, and what level is it?" A more elderly and softer voice spoke, looking over at a figure in the shadows, yellow eyes reflecting within the darkness.

"It killed a bunch of people really quickly, Level 4 no doubt." It spoke within the shadows, reaching for something at its side.

"Don't worry, Pops, I know what to do." It said as it stood up from its spot, reaching for an oversized four round revolver.

"And do try to stay out of sight this time. Father Time would like it if you didn't get caught again."

"It was the one time in Mexico, tell that little shit stain shrimp to get off my back."

"Language."

"Sorry." It muttered, a low growl escaping the yellow eyed creature. Before they could go any further, a large behemoth stepped out of the shadows, glaring down at the two.

"Red, we're heading out now."

"Yeah, whatever Frank." The creature grunted as it walked past the elderly man….before turning around and hugging him.

"I'll be right back, Pops."

"Be safe."

"Ugh."

"Oh go rip your arm off and shove it up your ex's green ass."

(A Devil's Justice)

"Ah, isn't this fun? Just being on watch for any trouble? Keeping eye out for evildoers and saving the day. Nothing beats this." Ragna exclaimed with a smile under his mask as he stood over the edge of a skyscraper, the girls standing right behind him. They had been at this for an hour or so, and mainly had taken on thugs for Tobias Whale, nothing demon related like the other night but they would be vigilant.

"It does feel good to be out in the field again." Diana muttered, stretching her arm while the sorceresses stood to the side.

"Oh Beloved, you were absolutely amazing out there." Tala complimented, leaning on Ragna's shoulder, intentionally pressing her chest against his arm, and having no bra under the dress definitely helped.

"Uh, thanks Tala." Ragna chuckled nervously as the dark sorceress leaned closer and closer, her breath practically on his neck.

"I think we should focus on scouting other areas." Diana suggested, pulling Tala off of the hybrid, glaring down at the sorceress. She may have been thankful for everyone helping her defeat Hades, but out of all of them, she knew Tala did not do this out of love or selflessness, but for manipulation. Tala glared right back at the Amazon, she may not be as strong as her, but her magic was more than enough….and her words.

"Well I think we should let Ragna decide, it is HIS city after all." Tala argued, disappearing out of Diana's hand and back by Ragna's side.

"Well I'm sure he will agree with me if WE split up and scout multiple sections of Redgrave." Diana stated, walking up and grabbing Ragna by one arm, pulling him face first into her bosom.

"Uh…gir-!"

"And I believe RAGNA would agree we have strength in numbers!" Tala retorted, pulling Ragna right back into her own bosom, strongly pressed against the side of his rib.

"Girls, ple-!"

"I believe we should split up, and Jennifer can go with Ragna!"

"Oh please, if anyone should go with Beloved, it's me, and it definitely shouldn't be YOU after what happened with Hades."

"What is that supposed to mean!"

"I thought this would be a dream come true, it's not! IT'S NOT!" Ragna muttered as the two girls wrestled between him. All the while Jennifer watched from the side, unsure what to make of this, but seeing nothing she could do to change their minds. She definitely didn't wanna think about those horrid images, so decided to take a look at the scenery of Redgrave City. Compared to the world she once knew, things were much more advanced, and it was a lot to take in. Luckily Ragna and Aya were there to help her, and she had a better understanding now. Still….it did raise the question of what she could do, or at least what else was there? She promised Ragna she would help find those demons, but so far she had made barely any progress.

She also felt like she had no purpose, like….like she was dead weight. Even in Skartaris she was only used for great battles and or some form of magic curation. Otherwise she'd just stay in her tower reading the many books. The world had changed in her absence and she felt like she hadn't even seen the peak of it. She also had no job unlike Diana, since she was an adult compared to the rest of the group in Ragna's apartment. Could she even find a suitable job for herself considering her line of work? Looking over at Ragna, she wondered what he thought of her after barely doing much. Sure she helped fight off Hades…but she could do nothing to save him from…..death. Magic was powerful, but even Death was it's limit. She didn't like this, she didn't like being perceived as being weak. Her eyes wandered across the city….until she landed on a dark zone a few miles to the west.

"What….what's that over there?" Jennifer asked, pointing out towards the dark zone, catching the others' attention.

"That's the area you told me not to bother with Ragna, saying it's always cleared." Diana stated, looking down at the hybrid.

"Oh is there power out there, Beloved?" Tala asked, looking at the hybrid hero. Meanwhile, Ragna remained stoic under his mask and respirator, eyes staring out into the dark zone, a reflection of darkness within his eyes.

Botis…

Inferno….

Death….

"...It's…It's…..a Demon?"

"A demon?" Jennifer asked, Ragna's eyes widened in realization as he sniffed the air, a loud gasp escaping his respirator.

"I smell a demon! Let's go!" With that, Ragna blasted off the building and towards the location, silently thankful to change the subject.

"Beloved wait!" Tala called out flying after him along with Diana and Jennifer. A few moments later Ragna found himself landing right in front of the Redgrave Museum, and he saw the problem before him. Dozens of cop cars and SWAT vans parked right in front of the steps along with some News Vans, with reporters instantly turning to him once he landed followed by the girls.

"Come on." Ragna gestured for them to follow him as he walked up to the group of police with the girls, ignoring the loud reporters.

"Great, another miss with our 'great' hero of Redgrave." A reporter grumbled, which did not go unnoticed by Diana and Jennifer.

"Probably doesn't wanna be called out for the damage he caused in downtown Redgrave, fucking coward." The girls turned to see a few cops glaring at Ragna as he made his way through. It made the two wonder what Ragna could've done to cause such a problem, they knew that his city has a pretty unpopular opinion of him, but why? Tala on the other hand wasn't paying attention, not even at Ragna, her eyes were on the museum. She felt something wasn't right, and yes it was demon related but this felt….eerie.

"Detective Decker!" Said detective turned to see the hero of Redgrave along with Wonder Woman and two girls she was unfamiliar with.

"Batgirl couldn't come along?" Decker joked, eyeing the four heroes as they walked up to her.

"She's busy in her territory, and I'm here to protect mine." Ragna answered.

"Yeah right." A cop muttered from the side, earning a confused glance from Diana and Jennifer again.

"So what's going on here Detective?" Ragna asked, looking up at the building, Helicopters already pointing lights at the entrance.

"We're not sure, the entire place went on lockdown an hour ago, we were able to bypass the locks on the main doors, locking everyone inside. I sent a team in a few minutes….they haven't responded." Decker sighed, turning to face the hybrid hero.

"I'm guessing whatever is going on, it is something demon related?" Decker asked, a frown on her lips.

"Yeah….I smell one in there…" Ragna muttered, staring up at the windows. Tala narrowed her eyes in caution, holding her hand up with dark magic.

"So….who are these two? Magicians?" Decker asked, gesturing to Jennifer and Tala.

"Friends….and yeah, or sorceress." Ragna answered.

"What's the difference?"

"Um…I'm….I'm honestly not sure." Ragna admitted, shrugging his shoulders, before turning to the museum doors. Whatever kind of demon in there was bad news, and he will deal with it…personally.

"Alright, I'm going in, girls you stay out here in case it tries to break free." Ragna said, pulling out Jekyll and Hyde, surprising the four girls.

"R-Sparda, don't you think it would be wise to go in together, or at least have some backup." Jennifer asked.

"I agree with her, Sparda, I could join you." Diana offered. Ever since the search for the key of the Underworld, and even finding the Sages hideout she figured it would work better to stick together, even Green Lantern believes that is good for team building. Ragna looked over his shoulder, offering the girls a thumbs up.

"Relax girls, I've faced plenty of demons in the past, this will be a piece of cake. Plus I got the League Communicator to keep in contact" Ragna reassured them, holding up the small device. He was not that worried about it, considering he had faced plenty of demons in the past two years even before joining the league, nothing he can't handle.

"Ragna!" Said hybrid turned around to see Tala holding his arm.

"That demon in there, whatever kind it is: It is ancient, deadly…..and hungry." Tala warned. Ragna stared at the sorceress for a second before taking a deep breath, mentally preparing himself, before walking up the steps of the museum. All the while the lights were now directed on him, while the cops kept a perimeter, the girls standing beside Decker.

"...How did you know what was in there?" Diana asked, turning to Tala.

"Perks of being a practitioner of the dark arts, something that she can't even do." Tala stated, gesturing to Jennifer. The chaotic sorceress remained quiet knowing it was quite true, while her magic was powerful, it was only as strong as herself and still had some limits. Such was the price for great power, the three sources of magic having their own perks that one did not. Meanwhile, Ragna walked up to the doors and pushed them open, noticing he had quite a bit of resistance once he moved them.

Once the doors were opened enough he slipped right past them, just as they were slammed shut behind him. Ragna slowly made his way into the museum, the eerie silence made it a bit more unsettling. No roar, no cursing of his name and blood, nothing. He smelled the demon, it was close….very close.

"Man…..hopefully this place isn't too banged up, I wanted to bring the girls here." Ragna muttered as he looked down in one of the exhibit halls but saw nothing in sight. After some time walking, Ragna's eyes landed on a set of weapons on the ground, quickly running over he kneeled down inspecting one. He grimaced once he smelled iron in his nostrils, lifting up his hand to see it coated in blood, yet there was not a body in sight.

"Wonder Woman, tell Decker that I found some of her men's weapons, but no sign of them. Over." Ragna stated.

"...Why did you say over?" The Amazon asked through the communicator.

"Oh right, it's a thing ya do with walkie talkies, it means I'm done saying something. Over." Ragna explained, holding up Hyde to check the surroundings around him.

"But would it not make more sense to just say nothing?" Diana asked, confused by the purpose of saying the word over. After all, if he stopped talking she would know he was done, it just didn't make sense.

"Look, just tell her."

"I already heard it, now what is the cause of it all?" He heard Decker over the other line.

"I…I don't know, in fact I don't see anyone in here: No civilians, no officers, and no demon. Over." Ragna muttered.

"You really don't need to do that, Beloved." Tala muttered from the other end.

"What was that?" Decker's voice asked from the other end.

"Nothing."

"Look, let me focus on finding the-Huh?" Ragna muttered as his boot landed on something very wet and squishy. Looking down, Ragna cringes in disgust seeing something red and sticky stuck at the bottom of his boot….wait, red? Pulling his boot up, Ragna reached down and ripped off the sticky substances, holding it in his hand. Ragna noticed that the red webbing was incredibly hot, not to him but no doubt would burn a human's hand.

"What…the…" Ragna's head shot to the side, looking at a room down at the end of the hallway, for a second he could've sworn he saw something move in there. Not taking chances, Ragna swatted the substance off his hand and slowly made his way towards the room. As he slowly made his way there, he began to notice the atmosphere became more humid, and the surroundings became more and more sticky. That's when he took a step into the large room, his eyes widened in shock.

All around the room, from the corner to the ceiling, the red sticky substances covered the entire room. Ragna noticed several vines that stretched across the room, and over a dozen cocoons dangling in the air. Ragna eyes darted around the room, when he noticed one thing that stood out as well: a web. On the web were several more cocoons, but these were moving and moaning within their prisons. That's when Ragna realized what all of this was, and what could create such a place.

"Oh…..Oh no." Ragna muttered, his heart rate rising that's when he heard the snarling, his body stiffening upon the noise. He slowly looked upwards as he began hyperventilating, eyes wide in horror at the sight before him, just as his communicator went off.

"Sparda? Did you find anything in there? Did you find the demon?!" Wonder Woman asked over the line, Ragna hand gripping the device so tightly he pressed the comm.

"..Sp…"

"What was that, Sparda?" Jennifer asked over the line.

"Sp…..Sp…"

"Sp? What's that?" Decker asked.

"Sp…..Sp…..Sp…"

"Sp? Is he trying to say Spa?" Tala asked.

"Spi….Spi."

"Spi? No we don't have time for spy jokes." Decker groaned.

"Sparda! What is it?!" The girls called out.

"..."

"Spider."

The demon took the form of a gargantuan arachnid, standing on the ceiling of the room, it's mouth wrapped around a cocoon, fangs digging into the silk. The demon's main body was the size of a hippopotamus, with it's legs standing taller than Ragna himself. It's body was quite hellish, it's exoskeleton shell was grayish with red patterns through the gaps, like lava. It had legs but the two front ones seemed to be club-like forelimbs with pincers on the end, using them to keep the cocoon in place.

"A spider? The demon is a spider?" Decker asked.

"Great, the one time we needed Ghia'ta to form a large boot construct for us." Tala mused.

"...Spider…." Ragna groaned, as the creature dangled above him.

"Sparda?"

"...Spider…" Ragna slowly began to back up in fear, his body trembling at the sight of the massive arachnid. Unfortunately he did not see a cocoon laying behind him, Ragna grunting as he fell backwards over it. The sudden commotion drew the demon's attention, it's six crimson red eyes glaring down at Ragna. The hybrid quickly stood back up just as the spider hissed and dropped down, twisting its body and landing back on its legs. Six eyes stared into Ragna's, the hybrid Son of Sparda too scared to move, just as the creature took a step forward.

"MMmm, I thought I smelled a demon here, but you don't look like a creature of Inferno." The demon spider hissed, lifting up one of its pincers, gesturing to Ragna's face.

"You smell of devil blood, yet you're not demonic. What are you?" It asked, lowering its pincer. Ragna could not move, flashes of nightmares playing in his head over and over again: His house burning, his mother killed…..

The webs.

"Oh well….it doesn't matter, perhaps your blood will strengthen me more than these humans have."

"Get away from me!" Ragna cried as he held up Jekyll and Hyde, unloading bullets upon the beast's shell. The demon hissed and roared as it backed away and out of Ragna's sight, the hybrid using this moment to turn around and run away. However, the demon quickly crawled across the walls easily catching up to Ragna, jumping off the wall and standing in his way swinging its pincers.

Ragna jumped back gasping in fear as the demon spider hissed and raised its pincers, slamming the ground where Ragna last stood. The hybrid fired several rounds at the demon, but the spider easily side stepped them and lunged at the hybrid hero. Thinking quickly, Ragna pulled out his blade and swung it, slicing across the demon's underbelly. The demon backed away on its hind legs, hissing as Ragna swung his sword relentlessly.

"Back! Back away!" Ragna cried as he tried to get some distance from him and the demon. The spider tried to lunge forward, but the sword was easily caught in the demon's pincer. The spider let out a low chuckle before its abdomen began shaking, before a large scorpion tail shot out. Ragna's eyes widened and his jaw dropped as the tail slowly rose above him and the demon, its stinger, pointed directly at him. Ragna jumped to the side as the stinger was stabbed into the ground before quickly pulled out. The hybrid used his speed to narrowly avoid the stinger, slicing through parts of his shirt and jacket.

Ragna cried as he pulled his blade away and backed away, swinging his blade to deflect the stinger as the demon went on the offensive. It struck with its stinger, it swung with its pincer, and to Ragna's shock it opened its maw and fired a ball of hot magma out of its mouth. Ragna jumped out of the way as the ball of flames melted everything in its path, turning many exhibits into slag, until it collided into the wall of the museum, exploding upon contact that left a huge hole in the wall. The commotion was heard outside, many officers pulling their pistols out aimed directly at the building.

"That's it! I'm going in!" The Amazon stated, taking her sword.

"You should put more trust in Beloved." Tala stated, crossing her arms.

"Okay, that's getting really weird now." Decker muttered from the side.

"We should go in and help him, he could be in serious danger!" Jennifer argued, glaring at Tala.

"And since when did you stop putting trust and faith in him?" Tala retorted, glaring right back at the stunned chaos witch. Before their argument could break out more, several vans drove up behind the police, with several armed soldiers walking out of the back.

"What the hell?" Decker asked, walking up.

"Detective Decker?" A bald aging man walked out of the van with two armored soldiers beside him.

"And who the hell are you?" Decker asked.

"I'm Director Thomas Manning, and I'm going to need you to move all your men and vehicles out of here. We'll take it from here." Manning said, stepping past Decker before turning back to face her as the soldiers around him carried riot shields.

"And who the hell do you think you are?" Decker stated, glaring at the older man while the three heroines stared at the vans.

"...BPRD?" Wonder Woman asked, Tala shrugging in response while Jennifer shook her head, none of them have ever heard of such a name.

"Area secured, Sir." A soldier stated walking up to Manning.

"Good, bring them in. Again, Detective, I'm going to ask you once more to leave." Manning stated as a few vehicles were moved to the side as a large van slowly backed up towards the steps.

"...I sense something….demonic in there…..and yet….not. Weird." Tala mused, confusing the others, while Decker stood before Manning.

"I changed my mind, I don't care who you are! This is my city and I won't let any demon run amok while I'm standing!"

BOOM

Every single body outside the museum looked up as something exploded from the roof, eyes widened when they recognized it as the body of Ragna, the hybrid hero crashing back onto the roof.

"Sparda!" Wonder Woman called out, only for her eyes to widen as something large crawled on top of the roof, staring down at the humans below. The demon spider roared in fury as the lights were pointed at it, the civilians running away in terror. The spider demon looked down upon the humans, a scent it had only recently acquired, and now was smelling it in the plethora.

"So many humans. So many for the Brood!" The demon roared.

"Take it down! Take it down!" Decker ordered her officers and SWAT team.

"Don't let it get away!" Manning ordered. Both factions opened fire on the demon, the creature hissing as the bullets bounced off its harder shell. The demon snarled before shooting out a red webbing out of its abdomen that stuck to a nearby wall. The demon swung across the air sticking to the side of the wall before quickly crawling across the building and trying to get out of sight.

"Ragna…" Jennifer muttered, looking back up towards the roof of the museum. To her surprise, Ragna walked over to the ledge of the building, staring down at the people below, Wonder Woman quickly flew up towards him.

"Ragna what happened?" Wonder Woman asked, curious on why the demon was so quick to get away and Ragna wasn't already after it. Was it THAT strong?

I…Uh….Well I-!" Ragna tried to come up with an answer….one that wasn't as embarrassing as the truth.

"Well come on, we can't let it escape!" The Amazon stated, catching Ragna in her arms and flying after the demon with Jennifer and Tala right behind her. Decker immediately ran towards her car and turned on the sirens, chasing after the heroes.

"This is Detective Decker! I want all officers, 10-43, I'm in pursuit of…..Of a giant fricken spider." Decker could not believe the words coming out of her mouth.

"Uh….can you repeat that again, Ma-!"

"Just get over here and look out for the giant demon spider!" Decker exclaimed as she drove down the street after the heroes and demon, several cars right behind her.

"Do not let that thing get away, send in SHADE." Manning ordered, the large vehicle slowly driving out onto the streets. Inside, several individuals jerked their heads up when the car began moving again, much to the annoyance of one.

"WHAT? Why the hell are we moving again?"

"We're pursuing the target, Agent." The driver stated in the front seat, the agent letting out an annoyed groan.

"Oh the hell with this! Frank, ya coming?!" The agent held her right fist up, letting out a grunt as she blew off the doors to the back of the van.

"Agents! Director Manning and Father Time have orders for you to stay within the vehicle until we have caught up with the target!" The driver stated.

"How the hell am I gonna find the target when I can't even see it!" The agent argued over the honking of the cars behind her.

"I think it would be wise to stay here, He-!"

"Oh to hell with that Abby, I'm not staying in this stupid van a second longer." The larger man stated as he holstered two pistols and joined the younger one in climbing out.

"Idiots." Another feminine voice groaned, four arms pressed against her head. The two agents stood on top of the vehicle, searching for the beast in question.

"There!" The agent stated, the two looking up to see the demon spider hopping across the buildings with a figure in red being held by someone right behind it . Up above, Ragna watched as the eight legged menace crawled and hopped away from the heroes, hissing as it crawled. Ragna internally shuddered before turning his gaze away from the beast, looking up at Diana. The Amazon Heroine looked down at Ragna, noticing his worried and disgusted expression. In her mind she thought it was because he was afraid of what damage this demon could do, one she will not become reality.

"Do not worry, Ragna, we will not let this beast get away. In fact I have an idea." Wonder Woman stated, holding Ragna up and carrying him by the neck of his shirt, holding him back like he was a ball. Normally Ragna would be all about this, used to be thrown just like with the Red Lanterns…but not towards THAT monster.

"Uh…Diana….I don't think I like this iDDEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Ragna screamed as he was hurled towards the beast.

"Quick Frank! Throw me dammit!" Back on the vehicle, the smaller agent jumped into the larger one's arm. The being grunted in annoyance before grabbing the agent by their extra appendage, much to their rage.

"You absolutely asshole you better not throw me by my TTAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" The agent screamed off the top of her lungs as she hurled towards the sky.

"Huh?" Ragna asked, turning towards his right as something was flying towards him.

"Is that….a girl?"

"GET OUT OF THE W-GURK!" Both Ragna and the Agent grunted as their faced slammed together, their colliding bodies flying across the air before slamming into the demon spider. The demon roared in pain as it was knocked off the building and towards the ground below. Thinking fast it shot a web from its abdomen attaching itself onto the side of a building, swinging away from the street and right into the middle of a basketball court. Ragna rolled back onto his feet and quickly gained some distance away from the demon, the spider roaring as it pulled itself out of the crater it had made. The demon looked around its new surroundings before seeing Ragna, its red eyes glaring into his, taking a single step forward.

"Get off me you eight legged freak!" A voice called out from beneath the demon, before a red stone fist barreled into its lower jaw, knocking the demon right on its back. Ragna watched in surprise as someone walked out of the crater, a girl. Well…it looked like anything but human. Her skin was red like blood, with two stumps sticking out of her head like horns, with raven hair tied in a ponytail. She wore a black tank top that hugged her more robust chest, a brown long trench coat like Ragna's, and short black jeans with a belt around her waist like his with a large revolver holstered. Her eyes were pure yellow with no iris, a red tail swinging behind her, open toe like socks that showed she had hooves for feet. What really caught Ragna's interest was the large stone gauntlet for her right hand, or was that her hand? Regardless, the woman turned around to face the demon spider, pulling out a walkie talkie.

"This is Agent Hellgirl, I've got the target and….oh shit, are you that Sparda hero."

(Hellgirl: Red Typhoon)

"Uh….yeah?" Ragna muttered as Hellgirl rolled her right rocky fist.

"Great, you ready to kill this ugly thing?" Hellgirl asked as she turned to face the demon spider. Ragna studied the girl, taking a deep breath and realizing….she smelled like a human, yet she looked like a demon.

"Wait, who are you an-!"

"That is none of your concern." A gruff voiced growled behind him, the hybrid turning around to come face to face with….a monster. A literally green giant monster. His body seemed to be held together by stitches, one arm lighter than the other. He wore a dirty and torn grey trench coat and beneath a red and yellow button vest. In his hand was a antique pistol that almost seemed to look like a train, and a large broadsword in the other. Ragna took a second to look at the creature, almost recognizing it, and after a few more seconds he recognized one of the most famous monsters in history.

"You got something to say?" The creature growled, glaring at Ragna.

"...Frankenstein?!" Ragna asked, and the creature grunting in annoyance at being recognized.

"It's Frankenstein's Monster….but sure, dammit."

(Frankenstein: The Living Undead)

"Told ya you should wear a mask, Frank." Hellgirl mused, reaching for her larger revolver.

"Can it, Red." Frankenstein growled as he aimed his pistol at the demon. The spider was finally able to flip back on its belly, snarling at the group. With a roar it spew a ball of flames, both Hellgirl and Frankenstein jumping out of the way while Ragna pulled out his blade to block the attack. However, Wonder Woman jumped right in front of Ragna, blocking the blow with her shield, sliding back a bit into Ragna's personal space.

"Are you okay, Ragna?" Diana whispered, staring down at the hybrid.

"Y-Yeah, I'm okay."

"Oh…Oh shit….Oh shit it's her." Hellgirl mumbled, eyes widened at the sight of Wonder Woman.

"MMm…interesting." The spider growled, staring at the group before him, turning its attention to Hellgirl.

"You smell like a demon as well….while you smell like that of the gods." The demon snarled, turning to Wonder Woman.

"And you…..smell foul." It hissed at Frankenstein.

"Oh yeah, I'm the one who smells bad." Frankenstein growled in anger. The spider hissed before it was blasted by dark and chaos magic, courtesy of Tala and Jennifer as they landed beside Ragna and Diana. The demon tried to attack once more before shots were fired at the ground below it.

"Not another step demon." A voice called out, everyone turning to see another figure standing at the entrance to the courtyard. She appeared to be almost like Frankenstein in that she had stitches but only around her neck, green skin across her entire body. Black hair tied into a large bun, but what made her stick out compared to Frankenstein were her four slick arms that she wore with a red coat, a blue corset hugging her tight frame red high heels, and four tech looking pistols.

"Nice to take your sweet time, BOF." Hellgirl remarked, earning a glare from the woman.

"You can blame the driver."

"BOF?" Tala asked.

"Yeah, ya know: Bride of Frankenstein?" Hellgirl asked.

"EX-Bride of Frankenstein." Bride stated.

(Bride of Frankenstein: Self explanatory)

"Can we deal with this later?" Frankenstein growled as he aimed his pistol at the demon. Bride rolled her eyes but kept her guns trained on the spider, as did Hellgirl and the rest except Ragna. The hybrid kept his distance behind Wonder Woman, yet the demon's attention was specifically on him, mouth dripping with liquid magma. The demon noticed the numbers with several showing properties of magic in them, and doubted it stood a chance with all of them combined. It was finally free from the dark, it will not go back ever again. With a snarl and cough, the demon spat out a bile of magma melting the ground beneath it, before using its pincers and digging into the earth.

"Oh hell no!" Hellgirl exclaimed, charging after the demon firing her pistol. However, the spider was much faster as it easily dug into the earth, shaking the ground beneath them. The group stood on guard as the ground kept shaking, however only one kept still in fear. That fear came to bite him as a pincer grabbed Ragna by his legs and dragged him into the ground. He heard the girls call out his hero name as the demon pulled him into the burrow he made, dragging him along as it dug further and further only to end up in a metro station. Civilians screamed in terror as the demon fell over onto the track, letting go of Ragna as he rolled onto the ground while people ran around.

"I will devour you." The demon hissed as it flipped back over, glaring at Ragna.

"With your blood and strength, I will grow strong enough to become the greatest of my kind, strong enough to revive my people." The demon hissed, slowly climbing onto the platform of the station, Ragna backing up with each step.

"Yeah, not gonna let that happen!" The demon hissed as it lunged at Ragna, only for something to tackle it away. Hellgirl grunted as she slammed her pistol into the demons hide, firing several shots that dented the armor before the final one finally pierced the flesh, the beast roaring in anguish. It's cry of pain turned far worse as Frankenstein slammed onto its back and pulled out his sword, stabbing it into the open wound. The blade punctured through the demon, magma spilling everywhere as the spider bucked back and forth, knocking Frankenstein and Hellgirl off its back. It turned to Ragna as it's tail slowly rose up, Ragna instantly jumped back as it attacked, moving out of its range as the spider moved closer and closer.

A battle cry echoed through the station as Wonder Woman slammed her shield into its side, snapping one of its legs in two. The demon hissed as it pushed back against Wonder Woman, only to be blasted in the side by Tala and Jennifer. The demon grabbed Wonder Woman with its tail and swung her into the sorceress and into the charging Frankenstein and Hellgirl knocking them back. It looked back at Ragna and charged, only for one its eyes to explode, the demon snarling in rage while Ragna looked to see the Bride of Frankenstein jump in front of him.

"Quit standing there like an idiot and shoot it!" Bride snarled as she fired all four of guns at the demon, Ragna shaking out of his stupor and pulling out Jekyll and Hyde firing several rounds into the demon's pincers. The demon swung its pincer at Bride knocking her away, crashing into the side of a coming train. Ragna fired several more rounds, trying to charge with energy but something wasn't working, why? Why was his body reacting this way? It wasn't like with the Hellspawn in Skartaris he simply just didn't do this. No, no his powers were not working right, but why? The demon snarled as it knocked away his guns with a swipe of its pincers, looming over the hybrid. Nearby, Jennifer's head shot up watching as the demon loomed over Ragna and she saw everything: Ragna, Blood, Hades…..Death.

"NO!" The chaotic sorceress held her hands up firing a beam of orange flames energy from her hands, Tala's head shooting up in shock.

"Those flames…..No way…." Tala muttered as the demon roared in pain. It whipped so fast it knocked Ragna into the upper level of the station, the spider demon lunging at Jennifer. To the sorceress surprise, Tala jumped in front of Jennifer forming a dark sphere around them taking the full force of the demon's tackle. Jennifer looked up at the dark sorceress in shock, watching her strain as the demon slammed itself against the shield.

"Don't just stand there! Help me!" Tala screeched as the demon's pincers broke through parts of the shield. Jennifer quickly stood up and pushed some of her magic into the shield, but the spider grew tired of this and simply swung its tail, slapping into the side of the shield. The force of the strike knocked the shield away from the spider, bouncing like a ball. The demon slowly looked up towards the upper room, right where Ragna crashed. Said hybrid slowly pushed himself against the wall he had crashed into…..right before a piece of rubble shattered on his head.

"...Ow…" Ragna muttered as he pushed himself off the wall, shaking his hair of any rubble. Hearing the demon hissing, he looked to see it slowly crawling up the stairs, easily pushing aside or stepping on civilians in its way.

"MY KITTTIES!" Ragna's eyes widened in horror as he looked over to see a little girl, and right beside him was a fricken box of KITTENS.

"You have got to be kidding me…" Ragna muttered, but one look at the kittens, with their round adorable eyes and soft mewling….quickly pushed Ragna into high gear. He jumped out of the way as the spider stabbed the ground where he last stood, the hybrid rolling in front of the basket of baby animals. He quickly grabbed it and held it out for the child, a small smile under his mask.

"Please keep a better hold on these littl-GRK!" Ragna cried out in pain, eyes slowly lowering down to see the stinger piercing his right pec. The demon let out a low guttural chuckle, slowly pulling Ragna towards its opening maw. Ragna felt his body burn with a stinging pain, obviously cause of the stinger, that it almost became numb. His conscience slowly began to slip away, darkness taking him…..but something pulled him back. A soft mewl of the kittens, the cry of children…..it made his body boil with rage. The demon's eyes widened in curiosity as the aura of power around Ragna took a different form, from crimson red to obsidian black. Before it could pull Ragna back into its opening maw, the hybrid twisted his body and gripped the tail.

"RRAAAHHH!" Ragna roared, his once blue eyes turned dark as the void, a crimson pit of death staring back at the demon spider. With a yank of his arm, the hybrid swung the spider into the wall, before yanking it into the ceiling, and finally out the glass window above the tunnel. The demon spider stuck itself into the wall and pulled back its tail, only to be jerked forward by the hybrid. The two fought in a tug of war, the demon spider quickly moved out of the hybrid's sight, moving into the tunnel right under the Son of Sparda. Ragna's voice turned deeper as he kept his feet firmly in the ground, digging into it as the demon pulled him closer and closer to the edge. He would use his full strength but someone would get caught in the blast, and all of his attention was on the demon. Both will not be denied the others death, no matte-

SCREECH

The demon spider's eyes widened in horror as the roar of a train echoed throughout the tunnel, its light blinding its vision. It could do nothing in time as the moving vehicle slammed into it, the demon squealing in pain, bones breaking and crunching as it was squished between the roof of the train and tunnel. Above, the hybrid felt the tail loosen in his hold, the Son of Sparda reaching for the stinger and ripping it out of his chest. Red painted down his chest as the hybrid slowly made his way towards the little child and their parents, handing them the basket.

"You're…..welcome." Was the last thing Ragna growled before he fell backwards, his vision becoming more blurry by the second. He saw shapes standing over him, and the last thing he heard was the girl's voice calling for him.

(A Devil's Justice)

Ghia'ta flew across the sky heading towards the meeting ground with Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl. She hoped Ragna and the others were having fun, because she was nervous, hoping she could make a good first impression. Granted she figured the two had seen her in action with Hades, but honestly they were all focused on fighting the giant god to really notice every detail. I mean for all she knew they just thought of her like a green lantern…but PINK!

"Calm down. Ghia'ta, calm down. You will be fine. Ragna said that Hawkgirl was pretty chill and Manhunter…well he didn't get to know Manhunter long enough but he filled in for Ragna while he was in space so he might be good." Ghia'ta muttered to herself.

"I mean, it could go smoothly, what could go wrong?"

"I can find out that you talk to yourself."

"She can find out I tal-KYA!" Ghia'ta squealed as she turned around to see Hawkgirl flying behind her.

"Didn't mean to startle ya, but you were talking out loud. That something you do often?" Hawkgirl asked as she flew beside the sapphire princess.

"Sorry, I just wanted to make a good first impression. I'm Ghia'ta." Said princess held her hand out.

"I know, we didn't get to talk much on Themyscira, but I heard much about you from Diana." Hawkgirl shook Ghia'tas' hand, a small teasing smile on her lips.

"Right….and we also got captured by fanatics, being a hero is crazy work." Ghia'ta joked while Hawkgirl chuckled.

"That's just a regular Monday for us, you'll get used to it." Hawkgirl said as she flew ahead of the Sapphire, leading her towards the meeting point. Ghia'ta found themselves in a place called Coast City in California, heading over to one of the taller buildings where she found Martian Manhunter standing patiently waiting for them, looking up once they were within reach.

"Good, you found her Hawkgirl. Greetings, Miss Ghia'ta." The Martian stated with crossed arms.

"Oh, um…am I late?" Ghia'ta asked, hoping she wasn't already making a bad impression.

"Of course not, in fact you are early. I just ordered Hawkgirl to locate you in case you lost your way." Manhunter stated, his stoic expression bearing down on the Sapphire Princess. Out of everyone in the League, Ghia'ta knew Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter the least. Heck, she believes not even Ragna knows enough about them: Mainly Manhunter. All she knew is that Manhunter was the last of his species from Mars, one of the planets in the Solar System.

"Oh good. So it's just gonna be the three of us?" Ghia'ta already knew it was the three of them, but she had no idea for small talk with these two. It was different with Ragna or even Diana, these two were literally alien to her.

"Yep, the three musketeers?" Hawkgirl joked, pulling Ghia'ta into a side hug.

"I do not believe we have time to be playing dress up, Hawkgirl." Martian Manhunter stated stoically.

"...It's a joke, J'onn." Hawkgirl muttered with a deadpan expression.

"So….what are we doing tonight? Patrol?" Ghia'ta asked.

"Actually we are investigating a robbery." Martian Manhunter stated.

"Pretty small time stuff, Manhunter." Hawkgirl said, crossing her arms.

"I would agree had this not been at STAR Labs." Manhunter stated, holding his hands to his face.

"Uh, MM, what are yo-AARRGHH!" Both Hawkgirl and Ghia'ta cried out as their minds were assaulted with multiple images. The first showed the front of a STAR Labs building, followed by the doors exploding and several figures flying out. One in particular was alien, with orange skin, curved horns on his head and tusk on the corner of his lips. In his hand was a strange yellow rock and in the other was a bronze cylinder rod.

"Those were several criminals who had just invaded STAR Labs just a f-!"

"J'ONN! A LITTLE WARNING NEXT TIME!" Hawkgirl exclaimed, jabbing her finger into the Martians chest, while Ghia'ta was still seeing stars. Manhunter looked between the two, realizing what he had done, closing his eyes in silence.

"I apologize, I forgot that other species that do not have normal psychic links cannot take sudden information as Martians do." Manhunter apologized. It was normal for Martians to speak telepathically most if not all the time, their mouths mainly for absorbing nutrients. Ghia'ta shook her head for a few more seconds, taking a moment to process all that information. She did not recognize any of the criminals nor the alien looking one, or that space rock.

"Its….Its uh fine, Manhunter." Truth be told it was not, that psychic stuff was honestly kind of weird to her, it wasn't like connecting via the Sapphire Rings where it was through the heart and soul. It was more like a hand was gripping your brain and shoving things through without permission. She didn't like that at all.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just warn us next time." Hawkgirl grumbled.

"Understood."

"So, back to the task at hand. What were they doing with the rock?" Ghia'ta asked.

"I am not sure, all reports state that the criminals are designated as: Dr. Light, Goldface, Human Flame, Icicle, and the mysterious alien who seems to be the ringleader." Martian Manhunter stated, turning to the city below.

"Alright, so where are they now? You're gonna use your telekinesis to find them?" Hawkgirl asked.

"I….cannot." Manhunter stated, surprising Hawkgirl and Ghia'ta. "I cannot do such a search of this length, to do so would open up the mind of every human around him."

Ghia'ta put the words together, understanding that he would be bombarded with thoughts just like them. Looking down at her hand, her eyes landed on her ring, when it clicked with her.

"Yes, perhaps your ring can detect the rock's radiation that the alien had." Manhunter stated, confusing both Hawkgirl and Ghia'ta. The Sapphire was even more confused, how did he know that was her idea.

"Uh….right, let's try that out. Ring, locate multiple levels of radiation." Ghia'ta ordered, holding her ring out as it glowed brightly. Ghia'ta flew into the air with the others right behind her, the ring glowing brighter and brighter as they searched throughout the city. Finally, her ring beeps several times, indicating they had pinpointed the location, the group looking up at the construction site in front of them.

"So when are we kicking into action? I wish to blind those heroic fools with my glorious LIGHT!" A voice called out, the three hiding at the gateway entrance to the site, peering inside to see the villains.

Dr. Light wore a white and black suit with a helmet covering most of his head sans his face, and a cape reaching down to his feet. Goldface was a man entirely covered in gold from his clothes to even his skin. Icicle was also covered entirely in white with his clothes taking a more icy appearance due to his name. The Human Flame wore a red and white suit with silver shades covering his eyes. The four stood off to the side while the alien itself seemed to be hunched over, seemingly taller than the rest of them matching even Manhunter's height, eyes staring down at the yellow rock.

"God we get it, you like lights, I like gold, Icicle is a lame Dr. Freeze, and Human Flame likes fire." Goldface groaned, rubbing his eyes.

"Hey I am my own villain, besides Mr. Freeze is gone so I can take the name if I wanna." Icicle growled glaring at the golden villain.

"...Ya guys think fire burns the Martian Manhunter?" Human Flame asked.

"Why do you keep asking that? Why are you obsessed with him?" Icicle asked.

"He doesn't have a rogue gallery like Flash and Superman, I wanna be his first and greatest rival!" Human Flame declared.

"Well that's nice, you got an admirer J'onn." Hawkgirl whispered, trying her best to not laugh while Manhunter remained unamused by the villain's antics.

"Oh please, as if any of you can stand before the might of my glorious Light!" Dr. Light exclaimed, holding his hand in the air.

"Please, once I beat Martian Manhunter I'll be in the big League of Villains, I'll be compared to the likes of fricken Joker for crying out loud!"

"Now that's a good joke." Icicle cackled.

"SILENCE!" The four villains jumped back as the alien roared at them, huffing in annoyance before going back to his squatting, staring down at the yellow rock and rod.

"Finally, with this power…..I will join him….." The alien muttered, the group of heroes seeing the rock glowing in his right hand.

"What do you think the rock does?" Ghia'ta whispered.

"Better question is why does he want it?" Hawkgirl whispered back.

"We shall find out soon, for now we should take them out now." Manhunter stated.

"Ya ready? Sapphire?" Hawkgirl asked. Ghia'ta looked down at her ring which glowed with energy, looking up at the two with a small nod.

"I believe we should come with a plan in case they try and esca-!"

"Let's go!" Hawkgirl let out a battle cry, surprising the group of villains, as she flew into the construction site with Ghia'ta behind her. The Martian shook his head before flying right behind them, shifting the size of his fist.

"Hey it's Martian Manhunter! Hawkgirl! And…..Pink Lantern?!" Icicle called out, the four villains jumping back from an attack.

"Pink Lantern?" Ghia'ta did not like the name, not one bit. Goldface pulled out a golden gun and fired at the group, all three flying around it as the object it hit turned to gold. Icicle pulled out his own gun and shot ice from it while Dr. Light fired beams of light from his hands. Ghia'ta flew over them and towards the alien who jumped up at attention of the sudden arrival of the heroes.

"So….this worlds fighters have come at last, usually I despise being caught." The alien snarled, standing over Ghia'ta, eyes glaring down into hers. His eyes lowered down to her ring, eyes widened in recognition.

"Ah, you're a lantern, then this is an even more special occasion." The alien snarled as it held up both objects.

"Now you will face the power of the greatest assassin in the Noj Galaxy: DevilDog."

(DevilDog: Space Assassin)

"...Pfft.." Ghia'ta did her best to hold in her giggle, earning a shocked expression from said alien.

"What is so funny?!"

"I'm…Heheh…I'm sorry….Your name is DevilDog?" Ghia'ta did her best to hold in her giggling fit, covering her mouth, all to the ire of DevilDog. He snarled at the Sapphire Princess before looking down at the yellow rock, then back at the rod. With a grunt he slammed the rock on top of the rod, clamping it into place.

"How dare you mock me!" DevilDog roared as he aimed the rod at the Sapphire Princess, the yellow glowing with power. Ghia'ta stopped her giggling as she looked up in shock at the yellow energy radiating with power, memories flashing before her eyes, the last thing she saw was the yellow blade piercing her mothers chest.

BOOM

(A Devil's Justice)

"He's waking up." Ragna groaned as voices echoed in his ear.

"This is the Son of Sparda? He's….very short." A feminine voice he wasn't familiar with said, earning an annoyed grunt from Ragna as he forced his eyes open, blinded by a piercing light. Once his vision cleared, Ragna saw the shapes around take the form of Diana, Jennifer, Tala, and the group from earlier save for that Hellgirl chick. Ragna slowly pushed himself off the bed he was laying in, helped by Diana.

"Easy Ragna, easy." Diana muttered.

"You were injected with a lot of venom, Beloved, enough to kill thirty men. Mmm, being a hybrid comes with great perks." Tala mused as she leaned on his shoulder.

"It ain't gonna save him from a bullet to the head." A gruff voice growled out followed by the click of a gun.

"Get away from him!" Jennifer cried out, as Ragna looked over to see the chaotic Sorceress aiming her flaming hands towards Frankenstein, the large behemoth aiming a gun at him while Diana pulled out her sword and aimed it at the hulking green undead giant. Bride stood from the side with all four of her arms crossed, a frown on her lips.

"Wh….What's happening? Where are we? How long have I been out?" Ragna moaned as he rubbed his shoulder.

"An hour and a half, we thought you….well…." Tala didn't wanna finish the sentence, clutching her heart.

"OH GOOD! The little shit's awake!" The moment was ruined as a sudden voice called out as the door opened, Ragna watched as an older man walked in with two guards behind him. Ragna eyed the three when they stood in front of Frankenstein and Bride.

"Hello there, Sparda, I am Director Manning of the BPRD." Manning introduced himself.

"BPRD?" Ragna asked.

"Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. Made to protect the world from the supernatural….like you, shit for brains." A voice called out, making Ragna look around in confusion.

"Down here!" Ragna peered over the bed to see…..a little girl glaring up at him. She wore a white and blue sailor costume with a bandit mask around her eyes.

"...Uh….What?" Ragna asked in confusion.

"Annoying little shit ain't she?" Tala muttered, glaring at the little girl.

"Oh shove it broad, I'm five times older than you…but don't take that as a compliment, that crows feet ain't looking good on ya!" The little girl retorted, earning a growl from the fuming Tala.

"Who…..Whose the little girl?" Ragna asked.

"I'm Father Time, one of the founders of the BPRD." Father Time introduced itself.

(Father Time: Commander of SHADE)

"Father Time? Shouldn't you be an old man with a cane?" Ragna asked, rubbing his head.

"Oh how original." Time grumbled, rolling its eyes.

"At ease, Father Time." Manning stated.

"To hell with that, this little shit is the reason why we lost the target!" Time stated, gesturing to Ragna.

"What? How is this Ragna's fault?" Tala asked, glaring down at the child.

"Uh, because of his little failure in stopping the beast, we lost it in the train tunnel after it hit said train." Time explained, rubbing their eyes. After the train stopped at the next station Time had sent the rest of the team to locate it above the transport vehicle but had found no sign of the beast save for its molten blood.

"Is it still alive?" Ragna asked, a small part of him fearful that the insect demon was still alive.

"Not possible, its body should be destroyed from the train, but we have yet to locate its body." Manning stated.

"Oh but you really showed that demon why it should never mess with you, Ragna." Diana complimented, patting his uninjured shoulder.

"Can we please not say my name out in public." Ragna stated towards the group.

"Oh please kid, we knew who you were before you were in diapers." Time stated with a huff. Ragna let out a sigh, great another group who knew who he really was, just great.

"Yeah, he really showed that demon what he really was: A fucken chicken." Frankenstein chuckled, glaring at the hybrid.

"The hell is that suppose to mean?!" Jennifer stated, glaring up at the green giant.

"The minute he laid eyes on that demon, he froze on the spot and I bet he pissed his pants." Frankenstein stated, but his eyes weren't on Jennifer, they were on Ragna.

"How dare you! You will not insult Beloved like that! He has faced far worse things than you can even imagine! He can beat you with one arm as well!" Tala boasted, leaning on Ragna as she glared at Frankenstein. The green giant said nothing, merely staring at Ragna with a stoic gaze, the hybrid slowly lowering his.

"Hmph….so much for a hero." With that, Frankenstein left the room. The room went quiet for a second before Manning cleared his throat.

"...Well, before you leave, Bride will take you to Professor Bruttenholm, he wishes to speak with you. Until then you will not go anywhere in the base without the supervision of Bride here. Mr. Sparda, ladies." With that Manning left with the two guards.

"If my men don't find that demon's body, it's on you, Son of Sparda." Time growled, glaring at the group one last time before leaving.

"What I wouldn't love to drop kick that little shit stain." Tala growled, balling her fist in anger.

"Heh, you and everyone here." Bride chuckled as she pushed herself off the wall.

"I'll be outside waiting for you, Sparda, you girls can stay here the Professor wishes to speak with the kid only." Bride said walking towards the door.

"...He is right ya know?" The four looked over to Bride as she stood between the doorway, one eye looking over at Ragna.

"You froze…I saw it….." With that, she walked out the closing door. The group became silent as the three girls slowly looked down at Ragna, the hybrid staring at his own hands. His features were unreadable, stoic as he stared at his limbs. Diana let out a soft sigh as she leaned over and placed a hand on his shoulder. She had seen Ragna jump against the Imperium Hivemind, heard the adventure of his battles in space, fanatics, and even the fricken Greek God of the Underworld…..but she this…this was new.

"Ragna…what happened back there?" Diana asked, looking down at the hybrid with concern. Ragna looked up at the Amazon, then at the two sorceresses, clearly all three were worried about them. They didn't need to know, and more importantly they didn't need to worry either.

"Heheh….Sorry if I worried you guys, I've never faced a demon spider before so it caught me off guard. Plus it was stronger than it looked." Ragna mused, rubbing the back of his neck while chuckling nervously.

"See! I told you Beloved was fine." Tala said, leaning on Ragna's shoulder. Diana shook her head while Jennifer stared at Ragna with a stoic expression. She wasn't stupid, she definitely wasn't born yesterday, and she may have been underground for decades but she knew the signs.

"Ragna…are you afraid of spiders?" The sudden question silenced the hybrid, eyes staring at Jennifer. The sorceress had no shock or anger or confusion in her eyes, it was sadness, understanding. Diana and Tala looked over at Jennifer before looking back at Ragna, silently waiting with baited breath for the answer. Ragna remained silent for a few seconds before letting out a heavy sigh….right before he disappeared in a red flash.

"Ragna?" Tala asked, before the three turned to see Ragna had already slipped on his jacket and boots.

"Must've lost Morningstar, I'll call it later." Ragna muttered as he put back on his buckle.

"Ragna, if you are scared of spiders, it's alright. It's perfectly nat-!"

"It was just a screw up, I've handled worse. I'll be fine, really, not the first time I got myself in quite a pickle." Ragna reassured with a large grin, interrupting Jennifer.

"Ragna…"

"I'll be right back, I'm gonna go have a chat with this Professor guy. BRB." With that, Ragna left the three in the room, heading towards whatever problem this strange place had in store for him. The last thing he needed was the girls, or anyone, worrying about him. It's the reason he moved out from Aunt Leslie's, so she didn't have to worry about him. The last thing he needed was everyone worrying about him because of the demon spider. Hopefully, the demon was gone, I mean it got run over by a fricken train.

How could anything survive that?

As Bride guided him along, he noticed several guards standing in perfect sync on both sides of the halls, always on the ready for anything, maybe even him. Bride gestured to an elevator, opening the doors for him. As Ragna walked in, Bride stepped in after him and pressed a button as the elevator closed and began moving down. Using the time of silence, Ragna took in the other occupant in the room, Bride. Despite her green complexion...she was quite beautiful, and unlike her husband she actually smelled alive. Feeling someone looking back at her, Bride looked over at the hybrid with a cocked eyebrow, a small smirk on her lips just as the doors opened.

"Ah, good, you're here at last." Ragna heard an elderly voice call out as he and Bride walked into a rather luxurious room filled with books and a large water tank on the wall. In the middle of the room was a much older looking man, a cane in one hand and a book in the other.

"Greetings, I am Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, and we have much to discuss...Son of Sparda."

(A Devil's Justice)

"Must…..survive…" Deep within the subway tunnels, where molten slag and broken limbs scattered through the tunnel, the side of the wall was melted and dug away.

"Must…live…" It hissed and snarled as it dug through every material in its way. Its body was broken and at death's door. However, its drive to survive, to keep on going, was far greater than death itself.

"Must….devour…" It dug underground for who knows how long, it did not care for time. It finally broke through another open room, what appeared to be some lower room that led to some stairs. It looked around the room, everything was perfect for a lair, to hopefully keep itself alive for who knows how long. It heard booming noise above, but one sniff and it smelled them: humans.

"Must….find….souls.."

"Hey! Someone there!" A voice called out.

A smile grew on its lips.

"Must…..feed…" The poor janitor didn't know what hit him, one moment he was getting ready for the cleanup he would have to do once the dance was over…..the next his life was snuffed out as he was devoured whole. The demon let out a small burp before firing out several webbing, forming its burrow. It did not know where it had dug into, but it knew that this place was the perfect feeding ground, the perfect burrow.

"Must…..become…Brood Queen."

(A Devil's Justice)

DONE! WHOO!

Achievement Unlocked: Crawled through Tunnel Track (Faced off with the Demon Spider)

Why are his powers not working? Uh because PLOT lol. Yall think I made up that DevilDog name but thats a legit character from DC Comics. Shit is fucken wack. Crush is a grinder, she loves grinding for games.

All jokes aside it feels great to be back into the series. And we start it off with...very strange but fun way...and gonna turn dark at the end. Oh shit is it gonna be depressing. But that's two chapters from now, yes this C-Arc is only gonna be three chapters cuz not every chapter needs to be six or seven chapters. If I had an anime intro song it would be like the Chainsaw Man anime intro, cause DAMN is that song fire. I would like to also point out this story takes place a DAY after Heaven's Shadow, on a Monday Night.

Alright into the chapter itself: We start with Ragna finally going on more patrols with other Leaguers such as Diana, who yes while he does hang with her more, will have more development with each other. While it wasn't as strong in this chapter, it will be more focused on next chapter and even pushed further in the finale when I drop some revealing stuff. This arc is primarily focus on Ragna, Diana, and Jennifer for not only growing closer but also pushing the harem into action. I hinted at this in Heaven's Shadow, but this arc really sets the...VERY traumatic experience of Ragna dying, a focus for Jennifer while Ragna...is trying his best to keep things under control and go back to the way things are. That is until the SPIDER arrived, setting his fears into motion. This is something I wanted to show for a long time, and yes.

Ragna has Arachnophobia. Sure for some it doesn't seem serious...but arachnophobia is fucken serious. I'll admit, I have a fear of spiders, not tiny ones but those BIG fuckers. I felt having fears such as this helps make Ragna more believable as a character, and this isn't the only phobia he has: I've hinted at it multiple times in Volume One but it involves a certain bed of water if ya catch my drift. Regardless the reason why his powers weren't working right was OBV cause of plot, but it's a reason I created that I think really fits well with demons. Imagine it like the Soul Reapers Spirit Pressure from Bleach, I'll explain more when the arc is over but that just gives ya an idea. I always had this phobia for Ragna since I made the story, but it really sets the problems it has for the story for Ragna, as it reminded me of a talk I had with Saiya (My go-to guy for opinions and criticisms of the story) and what should happen. This also shows a certain...toxicity that I had showed a couple times in Volume One but you got the key idea of it the last chapter of Paradise Lost. Another focus is Diana's dream to be more recognized as her own hero, since she doesn't have that many showings that make her as famous as Superman. Also for harem this story will add Starfire, Blackfire, Tala, and Jennifer into the harem.

Speaking of new things, the BPRD has shown themselves and our favorite lovable...Girl of Hell. Yes, yes I genderbent Hellboy. Mostly cause I was looking up genderbent characters and found Hellgirl by Rariatto who my version is based on. Her personality is a bit of a mix of her comic Hellboy and movie. Well, she is a teenager in this story instead of being an adult like Hellboy. She is as strong as Ragna's Base form but her right arm is as strong as Ragna cause...it is the RIGHT HAND OF DOOM. There's more but I'm gonna save it for next chapter, it's gonna be fun. On another note: Frankenstein, or Frankenstein's Monster but we're gonna call him Frankenstein. He's a pretty fun character in the comics and I enjoy him most of the time when reading him. His design is his Post Crisis Version for now. And then there is Bride of Frankenstein or Bride...yeah that isn't gonna be her name forever. And yes, before everyone asks...she is in the harem. WHOO.

Speaking of characters, we introduce another demon: The Spider, or as you can already guess: The Phantom. Is it canon Phantom? Maybe. But essentially its size at the moment is around a hippo (I mean it could murder hippos with ease then basic Fortnite dance over their bodies cause it could) and is trying to make itself a Brood Queen. It is a male right now, but I had this idea going through my head cause it was fun. Yeah the scene was based on the fight with Hellboy and Sammael, cause I like that fight. You're probably wondering does this mean Ragna get the Phantom Weapons from Bayonetta 3? Who knows, maybe, maybe not.

Moving on, we focus on the B-Plot of this arc: Ghia'tas' first time on Patrol with two heroes Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter. This won't be as big as the A-Plot, but I want it to set off a nice character arc for Ghia'ta that Hawkgirl sets in motion (Not out of malice, but out of genuine kindness...and to get any suspicion off her back that she is a spy for the Thanagarian Empire.). DevilDog sets a whole plot arc that Red Dawn also set in motion, and it all has to do with the cosmic rod...Yes, THE Cosmic Rod that a certain Mr. Hand is known to use for a time. I also have a nice little development for J'onn in this arc and beyond which ties into this Martian Revival Story Arc I have planned. Honestly I just chose those other four villains just for shits and giggles, especially the Human Flame.

Two Storylines: Ragna and Demon Spider. Ghia'ta and DevilDog. Let's hope the side of good can win the day. I'll save that for now, and I am so happy to be back in writing the story, I hope everyone enjoys it now let's get into some BIG STUFF.

I'm super excited to be writing more short stories, in fact I separated my series: DJUV (Devil's Justice Universe) and the CainVerse (focusing on my new OC Cain who follows short stories or one shots with girls.) The first two are New Security Guard, an Animaniac Story that I talked about with my OC Cain and Nora Norita Rita. The next one is gonna be an Amphibia story with Cain and the Adult Calamity Trio from the Epilgue. I got even more planned like Johanna from Hilda, Encanto's Madrigal Beauties, and Sisu from Raya to name a few. Until then tho.

Violent Night was a really fun Christmas Movie that I highly recommend. I'm gonna save some stuff for next chapter cause I'm gonna use the rest of my time for a major review.

This is my Hot Take Review for Marvel's Latest Crossover Event: A.X.E.: Judgment Day. This is what I told Saiya when I literally finished reading it. I didn't wait monthly for the issues, I waited until the final comic before reading.

So let's begin with the first fucken act: We begin as we always do with the X-Men: All humans hate them and they're still the oppressed ones despite this trope being over FUCKING DECADES OLD GET A NEW FUCKEN TROPE! Anyways so they'll doing that, because the humans are totally not an allegory for (BMMMTRUMPBBMMM) supporters, the Eternals are preparing to fight the Mutants because Not Trump (Druig) finds out that the Mutants have the Deviant Gene or some stupid plot point you find out in the recent Eternal Run when you also find out the way Eternals come back is that they have to sacrifice a human life. So Not Trump manipulates the Human hate for the Mutants to campaign himself or some stupid shit. While that's going on, the Avengers are like 'I don't like this, this SUS' but do shit and just talk to Sersi but that doesn't matter because BOOM! Eternals wage war against the Mutants of Krakoa. Knowing how strong the Mutants are, Not Trump lets out Not Than-I mean, Uranos or something who fucking cares. Anyways Not Thanos goes to Arrako on Mars and wipes most of the population but mainly the ones that no on gives a shit about before going to fight Legion (Spoilers they don't fight and it's dumb), while Isca and her stupid Domino Knockoff powers 'shockingly' betrays everyone. While this is going on, Cable also becomes old again because...nostalgia! The Avengers now step in and try to stop the fighting. The Eternals arsenal is really fucking cool I'll give them that because they got these cool mechs called 'Hexes' and they really are cool. Destiny (The Precog Mutant) goes off that the mutants are always alone because she's a bitch so who cares. So Mutants and Eternals are killing each other and coming back to life, so Ajak and Tony have the BRILLIANT idea of resurrecting their Celestial Homebase the 'Progenitor' but guess what SAIYA?! It turns out it was this whol narrator in the story so far and is NOW judging the ENTIRE PLANET because we have FAILED! THIS IS ACT ONE!

Act Two: So while Not Trump hides like a chump, The Stupid Hunk of Junk Celestial decides to judge the Earth and SO MANY PEOPLE fail. Captain America fails (Because America is the worst place on Earth LOL, did ya know that Saiya?! Did YA?! The ones I care about that passed is Cyclops (Which is good) and...Jean and Tony too but jesus fuck this robots judgment is ASS which is apparently the point but WHY?! Why intentionally make it dumb because it doesn't get better man. Anyways, NOW the good Eternals and Mutants and Avengers TEAM UP (SHOCKERS I KNOW!) to face the Progressive (Progenitor) and keep getting FUCKED UP. Oh and Uranos gets easily taken out in like two panels or one I don't even think it was barely half a panel. Act Two is honestly really short so Imma keep moving onto the FINAL act.

Fucken END ME Act: The Progressive continues to judge the world, so they decide to release Androgynous Eros the Starfox. Yes he is Androgynous now, why? Who fucken knows Saiya ya BIGOT! So Stardrag convinces the world to like almost unite but not unite because remember, not trump supporters still hate Mutants. Captain America meets with this random girl about how the world isn't perfect or some spiel because America is racist and Blalalalala anyways the Progressive decides that EVERYONE fails and kills Captain America because didn't ya know Saiya? People can't have different opinions, that's racist! Fuck! Anyways, the Mutants CAN NOW bring back Humans as they bring back Captain America for...nothing. I'm not joking he didn't do anything at the end. Anyways Jean, Sersi, Tony, and Ajak go to face the true Progressive which is like the Progressive but his like fleshy form, it's so fucking dumb. Sersi finally tells the last remaining humans how the Eternals live, before dying because she had to be the Marty. So now that Marty is dead Progressive ask his GOD Ajak if he was a good GOD, and she says 'lol, no, but WE can' so while BIG Progressive kills everyone, Ajak fuses with the Core Progressive and becomes SUPER PROGRESSIVE! The world goes back to normal, but now the Eternals are hated, and the Arakkos are dead I believe for now. Also Not Trump is put in prison with Not Thanos. The Avengers didn't learn shit, and Super Progressive judges the World like a fucken Karen. Oh also the Progressive was judging like six humans, and the white one was most asshole because of course he was.

I'm so fucken pissed. I just finished reading the whole story series... ALL OF THIS WAS JUST THE MAIN ISSUES I DIDNT EVEN INCLUDE MOST OF THE SIDE STORIES. I am so tired, of these so called 'progressives' who are honestly the real racists fucken just doing he stupidest of storylines. I'll admit my stories are perfect, but I try and I am just one person. Fuck AXE, Fuck Marvel, and fuck DC too.

FUCK!

...(Takes A VERY DEEP BREATH)...Okay, okay, I'm calm. Now here is the REAL review from my second read through. Don't take above seriously, it was my thoughts but it was just for shits and giggles. Take it all with a grain or bucket of salt this my opinion.

A.X.E.: Judgment Day was... pretty good. I had more problems then I did goods, but let's start with the goods. Pros: Art was AMAZING, oh my god at least the series was good to look at, fuck I hate when artist sometimes use the shittiest art design ever. Oh my god thank god it looked amazing. I loved the Eternal Army and the Hex, they were fucken great I love them and I wish Eternals got more love. Scott was always the OG, fucken standing against the Progress-I mean Progenitor. Honestly compared to War of the Realms and even the recent Thor vs Hulk storyline, this was fucken gold medal. The Progressive Celestial was also quite dangerous compared to most Celestials...but then again Marvel has kind of just been shitting on the Celestials for a while so who cares. I didn't feel like they did much with the Deviants, but man do I love them. Storm and Magneto (Despite my MANY problems with Erik) were also a plus, and Uranos while wasted near the end was fucken GOATED. The way Druig described the difference between Mutant Strength and Eternal Strength was pretty cool for me as a Power Scaler. Isca finally faced defeat but through sheer stupidity, I hate how her powers work. It's literally the 'No U'. It had really good length but I feel something's were unnecessary.

OKay...NOT onto the Cons: Literally everything else. Let's start with what started the conflict: Druig basically convincing everyone to kill the Mutants, using the humans for his basically 'voters'. Seriously, it was so on the nose I could slap it off them, he was clear as Trump and the humans who hate the Mutants were Right Wingers. It was literally The Boys S3 with the fricken strawmen it was not subtle at all. Listen, I'm not completely right wing or super conservative if anything I don't even know what I am because Politics are literally TOXIC cesspool that drives families apart as it nearly did my family and even others I know. These past couple years have been so fucking dumb I basically push away all things politics unless I am forced to intervene. If you wanna know my certain beliefs, PM me, I don't care. Regardless I'm at least trying to be subtle about my politics or even just having fun with it (Calling Trump Glump in my story or something just for fun). I'm not joking that Right Wingers are basically Demons to Liberals/FAR-Leftist that I have seen X-Men fans say wouldn't it be great to gather all those 'Trump Supporters' and 'Right Wingers' and basically kill them...Ya know...I remember a certain group that did that because they didn't like this certain group...Who was that? Oh right.

FUCKEN NAZIS! I'm not saying Right Wingers are the pinnacle of goodness (They aren't, but honestly I can have more relax conversations with them then any Left Wing I have ever met. I know its anecdotal but honestly I'm not really wrong) but holy shit remember when it was okay to at least have different beliefs? Fuck X-Men Fans like these (Not all of them but a lot of them) are fucken toxic. Again, only those that are like this, it does not SPEAK FOR THE WHOLE FANDOM.

Anyways, I'm getting off track. The storyline was basically like this: Fight the Mutants and Eternals for two issues, Avengers had to get involved, and SHOCKERS THE REAL VILLAIN ARRIVES! The Progressive! Oh my god, this Celestial's Judgment was fucken AIDS. It judged under the worst reasons, and before anyone says 'It SUPpoSE TO be FlAWed' that it literally the worst way to be flawed, holy fucken shit. I'm sorry, but if Doom gets a fucken Thumbs Up, we're all doomed, and I don't care if that is the point, that is just terrible and the lesson wasn't even a good one. Not even joking, Tony basically says 'Yeah Earth is flawed, but it DOESNT have to be.' like oh my god fucken kill me. I get the Celestial's Judgment...It's still AIDS tho. Uranos was WASTED, he had some cool parts, but he literally got taken out in TWO FUCKEN PANELS. Not even a couple pages, TWO PANELS! He's not dead but this was Thanos' UNCLE. That's scary shit right there. Wasted. Fucken wasted. The whole series also follows like six humans but it really didn't matter in the end, oh and like I said above, the white guy was the complete asshole, it was only until the end did he have...no he didn't really change at all. And what was worse is that they made Ajak, the fucken Celestial Judgmental Fanatic, the Celestial herself. So now she is constantly judging Earth. That is so fucked up and terrible you would give the WORST person the job. Fuck at this point might as well just let Doom have the job. Storm and Magneto were great, but this just personally for me, I've never been a big fan of Magneto simply cause they kept changing all the crimes that 'he' did. Which wasn't even him but it was all so we can excuse him as the 'victim' villain. But tbf, and I'll say this with a hand on my chest, I'm glad he still loves Wanda...The Trial of Magneto was still an ass storyline and should've been one issue. And his death and comeback were fucken METAL when he kept himself alive. Fuck that was so cool.

Moving on I have a soft spot for Sersi so it might be me, but I hate that it was her who had to die, of course she'll be back in her MCU design. No one stays dead. Another big fucken miss is Captain America, his whole spiel for this comic was his wavering loyalty to the US, as the Progressive judged him. They killed him off in the fifth issue but then revived him in the end with sickest art panel...only to do nothing. He didn't confront the Progressive, he was just in the background fighting while Jean, Tony, Sersi, and Ajak confront of the core or whatever the alien looking part of the Progressive was. They built it up...and fucken failed. It had a nice status quo change (Not major) but it was fine regardless ya know. War of the Realms was bad, but fuck at least they built up the return of Mjolnir which was still amazing...until they fucked it over in the current Thor run. Also Orchis appears and doesn't add much to the plot besides they are now loved by humans because...republicans I don't know. Why is Eros androgynous? Why? It is such a check box move that it is so stupid because we all know Marvel/Disney don't fucken care. I would like to mention that I have a love/hate relationship with the Krakoa Era of X-Men, there are far more bad then there are good. I love Excalibur tho, and Marauders is doing well for me, I don't know how they could fuck this u-...(Sees Fall of X)...heheheheheheheHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAAAAAAAA! OH MY GOD IF THEY FUCKEN CHANGE THE STATUS QUO IM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND THERES NO WAY!

Overall, I feel like this storyline was good, I had more problems with it then I did enjoy it, but if you enjoyed that's great. I'm never gonna force anyone to my ideas, if ya agree great, if ya don't okay. it's my overall thoughts and opinion. So...7.8/10 for me. Yeah, like I said, more bads but it was enjoyable from beginning to end...far more than FUCKEN DARK CRISIS FUCK! Nope, not even gonna start, save that for next chapter. I should reiterate that there have been a lot of good comics out recently: Jurassic League, DC Mechs, Defenders: Beyond, Yes AXE: Judgement Day, Marauders, Donny Cates Thor (Goods and Bads but I enjoy it) to just name a few. However...Manga wins me over. Don't get me wrong, manga is far from perfect, but I'm not constantly be berated every fucken issue like I am a monster just because of half of my skin (Native American/White over here). Someone can say 'well it doesn't mean you it means the actually monsters' yeah sure hypothetical strawmen, but those guys don't usually read the comics, I do. Anyways, manga's not perfect but they will always be a fun read or watch...especially for the animation for Bleach: TYBW, that shit was FIRE. Literally in the Yamamoto's case.

All in all, I'm glad to be back, and writing ADJ. With that I hope everyone has a good night or morning, until next time. Zer0the0mega108 out!

Chapter Summary: As Ragna learns more of his families past, the demon comes within contact for the perfect host.
