O Dulcet Tones

Kevin sees, on a balcony, a blonde man in an open brown trench coat showing off his muscles framed by suspenders.
A gauntlet on each wrist with a nozzle attached.
Above the man, in waving, purple lights, is a sign welcoming people into Hell.
The blonde lifts his head in the manner of a living doll.

He stares at Kevin, smirks, elegantly raises his right arm, and begins to sing.
He turns around revealing a pack on his back, the coat
opens slightly, revealing capsules on a belt around his hips.
He sways gently with a grace Kevin could not help but find slightly seductive.
Entranced, Albedo and Kevin stare at the man they saw on the poster: Michael.

" O dulcet tones! How lovely."

" Yes. Kind of."

Michael moved to the right and kicked up his left leg and leaned back once it landed, his voice never changing pitch.

" Oh fudge! What am I talking about? This is what caused those tremors! It's a melody of death! Oh my god!"

Albedo's teeth begins to chatter in his horror.

" Oh my godomgaomagaomaga gagaga!"

" Why should I be afraid of a few puny earthquake…What the hell?"

Michael continues to sing a purple ball of light appears. Revealing a giant demon covered in Darkness. It growls before it takes its right hand over to its left and tugs on a cord, making the saw blades where its left hand should be scream to life their desire for blood.

" Are you afraid of that?"

" Shit!"

The demon charged insanely fast. Kevin aimed and fired a lightshot just before it could jump out of the way.
Kevin fired off a few more shots but none of them did anything.
He dodged a swing of the saw and noticed a red apparatus on its back.

" What is that?"

Kevin dodged another swing.

" A weak spot! Look out!"

The demon charges at Kevin. Kevin dodges and aims for its back, but it quickly turns and guns for Kevin again.
Noticing how it runs with its body angles where the saw blade is close to the ground, Kevin got an idea.
Using Albedo as a club, he hits the demon and one of the blades gets stuck.
Enraged, the demon yanks at the arm. Kevin fired a bone at it and it explodes.
The demon yowls in pain before collapsing onto the ground, dead.

" Stronger demons require a constant supply of human blood, which they store in special repositories on their bodies. They're a source of great power…But as I pointed out, they're also an exploitable weakness."

" Talk about wearing your heart on your sleeve."

Kevin looks up at the balcony after noticing that the singing stopped and saw that Michael was no longer there.
But a loud crescendo erupts from out of nowhere, causing the courtyard to shake and the sign to short out.
Kevin spies a gate underneath the balcony Michael once danced and opened it.
It lead to a green hallway that had goat statues on both sides.

Kevin ran as parts of the ceiling began falling.
The tunnel ended at what looked to be a sewer, saw a ladder, and climbed out.
It opened out at a well. Willy greeted them with an offering next to a crate of bones for Albedo.
A poster caught Kevin's eye.

ICECREAM

STRAWBERRY ShiTcake!

BRAINFREEZE!

HAIRY CHERRY!

EYE SCREAM!

" I understand why brains and eyes are on the menu, but why do demons like strawberries?"

" It's a demon fruit, K. Lance's idea of a practical joke on the world of the living. They're made of ground up tongues."

" That's disgusting."

" That's not the half of it. You thought 'pop her cherry' was just a figure of speech?"

Another poster next to it was orange with age and torn.

HAIL TO GEORGE OUR GREATEST…

He walked through an arch and came across an unhinged gate, the baby head attached, but mutilated almost beyond recognition.
Kevin looked beyond and spied a couple bodies floating in a river of blood. Kevin steels himself, after all, this is for Ben, and jumps in.
After a couple steps he spies a huge silhouette of a demon chewing some gristle off a bone. It spied Kevin, stood up, and gave a guttural chuckle before hopping over the chunk of wall not covered in human remains, and ran away.

" Hmm, that fellow looks like a VIP."

" Very Important Pendejo?"

" Something like that. Lance gives his favorite souls special treatment. People who exited the world of the living in style."

" So not all demons are damned?"

" Oh, everybody's damned. The VIPs are just comfortably damned. Little perks here and there."

" Such as?

" They get to keep their genitals."

Kevin walked out of the bloody river by an incline and followed the path past a building and to a part of fence that was easy to kick down.
A shot of red shot past his head, barely missing. One of those helmeted demons stood a few yards away at the cut-off of a broken bridge.
Kevin took aim with the Boner and fired. The demon exploded. Another hopped down from a roof top and Kevin aimed.
After following a winding path of stairs he descends into a section of the village covered in blood. Kevin hears a male scream.

" Ben?"

He hears it again.

" I'm coming baby!"

He runs toward the direction of the scream. A body gets thrown out from an alley and hits the wall fifteen feet away.

" Fucking crazy world."

Under an arch he spies a gate and kicks it open.

"? Magnifico, more demon pubes."

" Let's find some darkness that gives us a clear shot at the switch."

Albedo was merely trying to calm Kevin's irritability, for he could be reckless if he's too angry.
But Kevin flashed him a look and they moved along.
Two demons ran out of a building. With accurate aim, they burned away to ash.
At the end of the street were two gates; one to his right that led off to a giant door and wanted an eye, and another that led into an alley that wanted a brain.

Going back he saw an alley he missed due to his frustration with a goat head munching happily on the wall.
Albedo spied a carved hand at the edge of the building the stairs behind the gate led to open up allowing Darkness to pour from it.

" A hand that barks Darkness. And they said this neighborhood was gentrifying."

Running towards the door covered in 'demon pubes', he awaited the slow moving Darkness and the demons that were sure to come with it.
He did not have to wait long. A demon came running out of the Darkness.
A lightshot and boneshot and it laid headless on the ground.
The Darkness encompassed the entire neighborhood.

Kevin spied the red spot on the switch and fired.
He began running for the door, turned the corner, saw the goat head and fired.
The Darkness dissipated in that back alley that led to a brain.
He picked it up and jumped into the darkness. He spied the eye on a balcony.

The only way to it was to feed the baby the brain.
Rolling his eyes, Kevin ran for it, dodging demons along the way.
The Darkness was taking its toll on him, but fortunately there was a human heart waiting for him by the gate.
He crammed the brain into the baby's mouth, the gate opened, and he ran to the back, spotted a ladder and climbed up. It led to the hand.

Kevin shoved Albedo's flaming head into the hole and the Darkness stopped pouring from it.
The Darkness that shrouded the neighborhood dissipated as well.
He ran to the eye. But when he grabbed it, the hulking figure he saw gnaw on the bones lumbered towards the gate.
He raised his right hand that brandished a long machete blade on a gauntlet attached to his wrist.

He shoved the blade into the baby's mouth, making it gag, before flicking it off and barge through the double doors.
Kevin leapt from the balcony and followed him to a giant door. He shoved Albedo into it and unlocked it.
