A.N: Welcome back! For those who are just reading now, here's what happened so far…

Brief and Chuck head into Oten City to collect Panty's pieces. They then run into the demon sisters as they settle a truce to find Corset and Stocking's whereabouts. The lad comes in contact with a demon weapon known as Soulfire. Scanty and Kneesocks train him how to use it. The three of them crush Corset's ghost minions while in the city, after Brief decides it was "time of a change" in his appearance.

Now flying solo for the moment he continues to look for the remaining Panty pieces. However he encounters Stocking, as Brief tries to get the truth about why she chopped and screwed Panty in the first place. She refuses and tells him to quit trying to save her, and that it was hopeless to do so. He refuses and tells her that he'll save her even if he has to fight her and Corset.

And so, the battle between the determined one, and the former fallen angel begins…

Brief & Soulfire: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Season 2!

Episode 6: Tough Love and a Fallen Angel!

As the night air whistled through the trees, Brief and Stocking stood in their battle positions while glaring at one another. It was her fault that Panty was gone, and even though he really didn't want to have to face her sister, he knew it was the only way to save the angel that he was deeply in love with. No matter how she tried to convince the boy that going after Panty was a lost cause, Brief wouldn't listen.

No. He had to have her.

She was the one for him…

"You're throwing your life away Geek Boy…", said the gothic angel in a monotone voice. She crossed her katana together as she was prepared to fight the lad, while he in turn held Soulfire with both of his hands. Both of them started slowly walking circles around each other, hoping one of them would make the first strike.

"Please Stocking, you don't have to follow Corset's orders…", he said in a pleading tone, "I don't wanna hurt you, really I don't!" Stocking just circled around Brief as she held Stripe 1 and 2 in her hands. He of course tried to hold as much of Soulfire's power back as he could, so he wouldn't go berserk against the angel. As much as she didn't want to do this to him, the situation was out of her hands.

"If you would've stayed in Daten City, we wouldn't have to do this. But no…just had to chase my sister down like you always do…", growled Stocking.

"Of course!", snapped Brief, "Love will make you do that sometimes!"

"Tch! And you actually believe that?! Do you know how many guys she'd rather fuck than you?! She only tickled your pickle because of your handsome face!", sneered the angel.

"But I STILL took her virginity, did I NOT?!", growled the boy, "You're only jealous of me because you don't have anybody to love for your own! Panty may be a bitch to you, but she's still YOUR sister! And as for me, I know she'll come around to love me once I save her!"

"Why do you have to be such a stubborn ASSHOLE!"

**CLANG!**

Brief clashed his black and gold battle axe with Stocking's swords as he glared at the angel once again. "I'm not stubborn…", he said in a low tone, "I'm just saving the woman I love…" Both of them kept their gridlock for a few minutes until the angel broke it off. She then swung her blade at the boy as he dodged the attack. Since he's been around the angels most of the time during their battles, Brief was slightly familiar with Stocking's attack patterns.

The gothic angel slashed at the boy several times as he evaded the strikes before swinging Soulfire himself.

**CLING!**

"So those demon sisters have been training you…?", she said in a nonchalant tone as she drew back from the gridlock. Brief gripped the scythe-like axe with both hands as he huffed slightly, but still had energy to fight.

"We can't do this…", he said, "Corset is just using you like he did them! It's not too late to stop!" Stocking just shook her head as she swung her katana at the ginger haired boy again, as he blocked it with Soulfire. Each clash emitted a burst of small flame which caused Brief's eyes to widen a little bit.

"(Whoa…I don't remember that happening during combat. Soulfire must be getting stronger after every battle I've had probably…)" Brief gripped the battle axe as he swung it upwards causing Stocking to back flip out of the way. She then landed on one knee while still gripping her blue and white katana.

"You're gonna make a bitch work tonight aren't cha?!", she growled.

Elsewhere on the demon sister's side of things…

Scanty couldn't sleep as she was tossing and turning thinking about Brief being out in the city alone. Sure he was still in love with Panty, but the thought of him getting done in by one of Corset's stronger minions, was a bit of a hard pill to swallow.

Especially, since that would erase the pleasure of getting her revenge for the scar on her face.

Eventually after a while Kneesocks woke up as she glanced over at her older sister. "Scanty, what troubles you my dear sister…?", she asked as she sat up on the bed. (They found another empty hotel just so you know…)

The green haired Akuma looked in her direction with her eyes semi-bloodshot. She had been sweating for a bit due to her worry about Brief's safety, of course…that wasn't the only reason why she was worried.

"It's the boy, Brief…", she replied, "I know he said he would return to us by dawn…but…"

"But what sister…?", replied Kneesocks. Scanty looked away for a moment before looking around in various directions of the room they both were staying in. A second later she planted her feet on the ground as she started walking towards the window.

"…As much as I don't want to doubt how strong he's gotten already with Soulfire, he'll never stand against Corset's armada on his own like this!", she replied. Kneesocks grasped her glasses as she put them on her face before getting out of the bed herself. She then made her way towards the window while placing her hand on Scanty's shoulder. "I know this is difficult, you and me both…", she spoke in a calming tone, "But…he did tell us that he would be okay for the moment."

"I know that Kneesocks, but…"

"All we can do now is trust that he will return before dawn, that's all we can do now…", said Kneesocks as she wrapped her arms around her older sibling for support. Scanty looked out the window at the downtown area of Oten City, as she took a deep breath before closing her eyes.

"For our sake sister…", she said, "I hope this is true…"

"It will be…", Kneesocks replied.

Meanwhile…

"Don't make this any harder than it has to be Geek Boy!", growled Stocking.

**CLANG!**

"I'm NOT Geek Boy anymore Stocking! When Panty sees me again, she'll see a man!", sneered Brief.

**CLING!**

"Please! That bitch doesn't love you! She only fucked you cuz' you're hot!", hissed the gothic angel.

**CLANG-CLING!**

"You're only saying that BECAUSE you lost someone you loved!", growled the boy. Stocking's eyes widened after hearing Brief say that while the two were gridlocked with their weapons. She drew back her katana before clashing with the lad again.

**CLANG!**

"Don't EVER make statements like that!", sneered the angel, "I did lose someone I loved, but he loved me more than anything! Panty could care less of a shit about you and you know it! So don't FUCKIN' tell me I don't know about LOVE!"

Stocking then made an upward slash at Brief as she had only cut an afterimage. He then used Soulfire's power to phase behind her as he sweep-kicked her to the ground. However she used a breakdance spin move to get back up as she clashed Stripe 1 & 2 with the boy's black-gold battle axe.

"(No…I-I don't wanna add any more power…just hold on…)"

Brief was trying to hold back as much of Soulfire's power as he could, however each time he clashed against Stocking's swords it was making it harder for him to do so. He delivered a horizontal slash as it had just missed the angel barely, cutting off a small lock of her navy blue/pink hair.

"I'm done with you!", she said in a low growl as her halo appeared as well as her angelic aura. Brief thought how could Stocking be a demon, if she still has an angel's aura…?

The lad stood strong though some of his black tux outfit had slashes in it, along with small cuts to his body and arms. The angel was the same way, with most of her white corset outfit with rips and tears in it yet she still remained strong.

"Fine Stocking…", growled Brief, "But know this…this is what you've brought on yourself…"

The boy channeled more of Soulfire's power into his body, as his eyes were not copper like before, but blood red. His ginger orange hair was now spiky and burned orange, as its now slightly past his shoulders with his skin tone was two shades darker than it originally was.

In fact, it was a dark tan.

Stocking gritted her teeth as she saw the lads post transformed state. "(Motherbitch…)", she thought, "(I knew he was hardheaded…but I never knew he was going to be this damn strong…)"

The orange-red aura surrounding him as well as the battle axe had gotten slightly denser than before, as Brief slowly approached Stocking's position. "It doesn't have to be this way Stocking…", he said as he was slowly backing the angel into a corner.

The gothic angel crossed her blades while having an uneasy look on her face. "(Sometimes it's better to get while the getting's good! He'll learn his lesson when he finds Corset…)" Stocking then lowered her blue-white striped katana as she looked angrily at the ground. Brief stopped approaching her as he stood Soulfire up on the ground before taking a deep breath and powering himself, and the weapon back to its normal state.

"See…that wasn't so hard was it…?", smiled the lad as Stocking looked up at him. It quickly faded as the gothic angel glared at him a moment before slipping her namesake back on. She then turned around and slowly walked away leaving the boy bewildered…

"W-Wait! You haven't told me where Corset is!". He shouted. The angel stopped in mind walk as she still had her back turned.

"…You'll find him at Oten Square in the center of the city, where the second Hell's Gate is. However it's blocked off by a demon force field so entry is damn-near impossible. There's a code to unlock it that only he knows so good luck trying to get it…"

"Oten Square…H-Hey!" Before Brief could wave his hand to stop her, Stocking had already disappeared from his sight. He soon dropped to his knees as he had wished she would tell him more information, but all he had to go by was the location of where the second Hell's Gate keyhole was.

And actually, that was pretty much all he needed.

"Stocking…", he muttered, "Why are you doing this…? Why?!"

Elsewhere in Oten Square…

Corset now has 45% of his body regenerated as he is now the demon sister's height. His arms have returned to what they once were, though childlike in nature along with the rest of his body. He stood atop the second Hell's Gate keyhole as the base of the entire appeared to look like the holy cross.

He stood with his hands behind his back as he looked at the base of the steps and saw a battered Stocking Anarchy. He raised an eyebrow as a small drop of sweat appeared on his face.

"What happened my dear…?", asked Corset, even though he was pretty much aware that this would happen. Stocking dusted herself as a sour look appeared on her face.

"Geek Boy happened…", she growled. The demon boss closed his eyes as he clicked his tongue several times. "I told you to be careful.", he scolded, "He's only going to get stronger from this moment on. Which means you'll have to get stronger too Stocking!"

"I know…", she replied.

"With that being said you are not to face him again until my body regenerates completely. Understood my dear?", said Corset. Stocking looked down at the floor before nodding as she made her way past the mentally unstable demon. He made a small smirk at the thought of how powerful Brief was soon to become with Soulfire.

"(Once he finds all of Panty's pieces, he'll come to me eventually if he wants to save her. And that's when…I will finally take over Heaven and Earth.)"

Back on Brief's side…

With his outfit torn and his body slightly battered, Brief slowly made his way back the way he came when he had left the demon sisters to go searching for Panty pieces. He was breathing heavily for a bit as he struggled to step one foot in front of the other.

Suddenly after a few more steps the lad collapsed as he dropped Soulfire on the ground. He fell face first as he rolled himself over while clutching his own body, as if he were in pain.

"(Guh! W-What…is this…?! My body feels…like it's burning up!)"

Brief only had half of is eyes open as he felt winded, but was still very much alive. His body ached from his ribs to his shoulders as he didn't know what was going on. He turned his head to his left side slowly as he saw Chuck looking at him, confused as hell.

"Ch…Chuck.", he said, "Got get Scanty…and Kn-Knee…socks…"

Somehow the green mutt got the message as he saluted Brief before dashing off in the direction of where he last saw them. He of course let off a weak smile before closing his eyes.

He whispered Panty's name as his vision got blurry.

And then…it was all black…
