CHAPTER 1:

Road to Redemption

Forest

The three demons were frantically looking around to find something that could give them a clue to where they were. All the while looking for Asuron's armor. Sadly nothing could tell them where they were.

"AAARRRGGG! Where are we?! It is just forest and more forest anywhere I see!" screamed Asuron with clear frustration.

"I'm afraid you are right boss. We seem to be in a forest of some kind. And there also seems to be no sign of your armor." said Artem

"Damn! Just where the HELL are we?" asked Asuron

Then suddenly came Len running at great speed.

"Boss! I think I spotted a road it may lead us out of this place." said Len extremely proud of himself

"Well done! Lead the way Len! Let's see if we can figure out where we are." said Asuron with determination.

The three demons walked up to the road keeping an eye out for any kind of bandits or other demons that thought they could attack them without suffering any kind of punishment. They spend the time talking about how they ended in that neck of the woods.

"Okay we were marching to the Blood Lands, and then there was a bright flash of light. Anything else?" asked Asuron

"I remember floating in some sort of abyss. Is that weird?" asked Len

"No I also think that we were in an abyss. I think I remember someone talking to us. Something about sins." continued Artem

"Hopefully we will find a town and get some information." said Asuron

Unbeknownst to the three demons there were many eyes looking at them from the shadows. Soon enough the three demons reached the road that Len had found and began walking on it hoping to find a town or a village or a city to get some much required information.

The three demons walked for what seemed like an eternity, while pondering on what the voice had told them.

"I really hope that we find a town soon." said Artem

"Sins...sins...sins. What about sins?" wondered Asuron

"What is on your mind boss?" asked Len

"Just wondering about what the voice meant by sins? Also whoever sent us here must be either very powerful or very sneaky. I am also thinking on what I am going to do to them when I find them." said Asuron

Suddenly the bushes around them began to move, this made the three demons stop in their tracks. Then a group of bandits showed up blocking the path in front of the demons, and in the back to prevent a retreat.

The group shared a similar style of clothing. They all wore black clothes, some were shirtless, but they all had black masks that covered their upper faces and they all had knives, and guns aimed at the demons. The biggest one carried a big sword, supposedly the leader of the merry band walked up to the three demons.

"Alright you pansies. Give us all your valuables, and not a single Kama less!" said the leader of the Thieves

The three demons just looked at the thieves almost as if this was some kind of joke. Then Asuron walked up to the leader with an annoyed look.

"Excuse me my good sir, but is this some kind of joke?" asked Asuron

The thief leader aimed his sword at Asuron's face. Asuron merely raised an eyebrow at the thief leader.

"What are you a Iop? We are the most feared band of thieves in this part of the World of the Twelve!" said the thief leader

"THE WORLD OF THE TWELVE?!" asked both Len and Artem

"So you better pay up or..." began the thief leader

Suddenly in the blink of an eye Asuron used the back of his right arm to shatter the sword of the thief leader. This left all the thieves with their eyes open in disbelief.

"Now, I understand that you didn't recognized us because I am not wearing my usual wardrobe, but the one thing that you should know is that I am in no mood to deal with guys like you!" said Asuron as he got closer to the thief leader

Suddenly Asuron landed a devastating punch at the leader's stomach sending him flying through the forest.

Austin then turned to his commanders and flashed them a look that they both knew very well.

Suddenly, Artem pulled out his bow and created an energy arrow and began firing at the group of thieves at the front. Then Len did a double back flip and landed with his two feet on the chest of a thief and then began to punch and kick the rest of the thieves. Asuron then jumped and began to fight along side his commanders. Punching and kicking the thieves was nothing more than child's play for the Brawling Conqueror.

After a couple seconds the three demons had taken out the thieves. Asuron then walked up to his commanders and to congratulate them.

"Well done guys. It was a good exercise but nothing less than a warm up." said Asuron with his hands behind his head

"Boss, we know where we are!" said the two commanders

"Really, well that is great. Where are we? In which part of the Netherworld?" asked Asuron

"You are not in the Netherworld anymore." said a forth voice

"Who goes there?" demanded Asuron looking for the source of the voice

"I suppose I should present myself." said the voice

A bright light appeared in front of the three demons. Once the light died down a man stood there wearing a blue robe that had golden lines in the areas of the arms and the legs. He carried a silver staff with a crystal sphere at one end, but the one thing that really caught their eyes was the fact that he had big white wings.

"Hello there Brawling Conqueror, my name is Alphonse, Arch-angel Alphonse. I know you must have many questions but I am only here to tell you the basics." said Alphonse

"Speak now Angel!" demanded Asuron with fire coming out of his entire body.

"Ok, Ok, clam down. You see Asuron your little path of conquest has made many her ups more than a little nervous. So we thought long and hard on what to do with you and your commanders. Therefore, this is your penance. You will have to spend your time here until you make up for all your sins, all three of you." said Alphonse with a happy go lucky face.

"Are you kidding me?!" asked Asuron

"Relax, and besides this world is filled with very strong warriors that will be more than happy to face you, maybe even some of this world's Gods. Have fun." explained Alphonse before disappearing in a flash of light.

The three demons stood there thinking about what the angel just said.

"What now Boss?" asked Artem

"As much as I hate to say this, we have no choice but to play along. Besides in a way we can conquer a whole word. This is going to be fun!" said Asuron
