"They say that Oten City is a lot more hostile than Daten City, but then you'd be talkin' about the ghost population there. Funny thing is…I used to live in this city long, long ago."

"Now Brief and those demon sister bimbos are there lookin' for Corset n' Stockin', while trying to put Panty back together as well."

"I never thought I'd come back to this city, despite all the crap I had to deal with while I was alive there. But if he really wants to save dat bitch, then it's high time fo' some action! Garterbelt Style!"


(**Panty & Stocking theme plays in the background**)

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

Episode 7: Fallen Avengers (Part 1 of 2)!


The next morning the demon sisters were still sleeping while trying to stay awake for Brief's return. Though there was no sunlight the overcast sky was bright enough to wake them up from their slumber. After several minutes Scanty went to shower up while Kneesocks was cleaning her glasses, as well as sharpening her black-gold scythes.

While in the shower, Scanty then thought about what Brief had said the other day…


(**Flashback!**)

"I don't need to rest…", Brief replied as a breeze of wind whistled past him, "I can cover more ground and search for Corset and Stocking's whereabouts on my own for a bit…"

"Idiot!", growled Scanty, "He probably has much more powerful ghosts waiting for your arrival when you find him! Surely as powerful as you'll become with Soulfire, that doesn't make you invulnerable!"

"Please heed my sister's advice Brief, just wait until tomorrow…we'll find him then.", Kneesocks added. The boy turned around as he looked at the two sisters with a smile on his face. They both looked into his warm and loving eyes as they both started to blush.

"Heh-heh…it's sweet that you're both worried about me.", he spoke calmly, "But I'll be okay. I'll return before dawn, and then we can all go look for Corset together…"

(**Flashback END!**)


She then banged the side of the wall while in the shower, as she let off a small huff of anger. "That Imbecilic fool…", growled Scanty, "Does he not know where he is?!...Still, for some reason…he's not afraid like he'd normally be…"

Kneesocks heard the noise as she tapped lightly on the bathroom door. "Is everything okay in there sister?", she asked in her usual tone on concern.

"Ah, I'm just fine Kneesocks.", replied Scanty. As the water ran down her crimson curvy body, she looked down at the floor while thinking about Brief again. Why was she thinking about him so much…? She already knows he's in love with Panty, ooh that Panty. She just wished that she could get rid of her once and for all, especially for that scar she had put on her face.

In fact, this was about much more than the scar.

When she and Kneesocks first saw Brief and tried to "do away with him", Panty and Stocking didn't even care if he died at the hands of them. All the angels saw him was their little 'plaything', especially Panty. Why would he love someone that didn't even give two cents about him? Let alone except his love. Scanty thought he deserved more, someone that would love him better than anyone.

That someone she thought…was her.

When he stood her up at the supposed wedding that his father and Corset had planned, that not only crushed her heart, but because he'd rather marry Panty than her, it was just…not fair. No wonder she hated the angels as much as her sister did, not because they were rule-breaking delinquents, but because they didn't have any morals or values.

In fact, Scanty and her sister have a greater bond than Panty did with Stocking.

But even so, she still couldn't understand why they kept defeating them at every turn.

From the casino incident to the zombie elixir to the game show crisis where they tried to frame them, it was just unfair that they couldn't win against the angels. That did make her upset, but it was Corset's betrayal that pissed her off even more…

After showering, Scanty grabbed her panties and bra while slipping them both on. She then ironed her tan business suit before putting it on as well. Kneesocks did the very same after polishing her weapons so that she was ready in case she and her sister had to fight anymore ghosts today. While putting on her slight eyeliner the door opened slightly as the younger Akuma thought it was Brief.

No. Instead it was Chuck.

"Hm…it's just you…", said Kneesocks as the green dog approached the demon. Chuck was standing right in front of her before he started doing some kind of movement like one would to in a game of Charades. He made Chuck sounds like he normally does while Kneesocks was trying to figure out what he was trying to say.

"Um…there is a boy…who…huh?...un…unconscious, yes. And…holding a weapon…wait, Soulfire!"

"Kneesocks, what is going on out there…?", asked Scanty while applying her eyeliner.

"Brief's dog Chuck is here, and he's trying to tell me something.", she replied. Chuck made more moves like he was swinging an imaginary weapon, before falling backwards and fainting on the ground. Kneesocks pondered a bit as she was trying to put two and two together.

"A boy who's unconscious and holding Soulfire…wait a moment…"

Suddenly Kneesocks figured out what Chuck was trying to say, as she quickly opened the bathroom door with a look of worry on her face. "Sister! We must go!", she nearly shouted.

"W-What?!", Scanty stammered.

"Brief's unconscious with Soulfire! We must leave right this minute!", Kneesocks frantically replied.


Elsewhere outside…

There was a slight breeze in the wind as the ginger haired lad was lying on his back with most of his shirt open. Soulfire lay right beside him as he was breathing slowly, before opening his eyes to the outcast sky before him. His body wasn't burning up like it was the other night as his ribs were not aching like they did before. Brief looked over to his left for a moment before looking over to his right.

However his memory of last night's battle with Stocking was just a little bit fuzzy, as he had sent Chuck to get the demon sisters after the battle was over. Somehow he found the strength to sit up as he took a deep breath while rubbing his somewhat muscular shoulder.

"(Nuh? I don't remember growing muscles…)", he thought as Brief felt his shoulder muscle again. He looked at his right arm and noticed the same thing, as if he had been working out or something. A few minutes later the boy heard footsteps as he spotted Chuck dashing towards him. The green zippered mutt jumped into Brief's arms while licking his face as Scanty and Kneesocks found him as well.

"Brief!", they both said as they approached the boy before hugging him a bit. They then helped him to his feet as well as grab the black-gold scythe-like axe.

"S-Scanty! Kneesocks!", smiled the lad, "Th-Thanks for finding me, I knew Chuck could do it…"

"Would you mind telling us what you were trying to prove?!", Scanty scolded Brief, "Things could've been worse had you not sent that dog of yours to tell us where you were!"

"I-I know…", he replied, "However, I did manage to get some information on Corset's whereabouts…"

Both demons gasped as they carried the boy to a nearby bench. "You actually were able to find out where he's hiding?!", stammered Kneesocks as she checked Brief for a fever of some sort.

"Yeah…from Stocking.", he said.

"STOCKING?!", shouted both Scanty and Kneesocks.

"While I was out looking for more of Panty's pieces, I was intercepted by Stocking. During our battle I tried to get as much info on where Corset may be hiding as I could. However, she didn't tell me why she cut Panty up in the first place…"

"You used Soulfire against that angel, and won?!", Scanty said with a surprised look on her face.

"Sort of…", laughed Brief, "She told me that he's hideout is in Oten Square in the heart of the city. Unfortunately we would need some kind of code to bypass the demon force field she said that he put up."

Both demon sisters looked at one another before looking back at Brief. Now that they knew where Corset and Stocking were hiding, they could infiltrate the area and take them down. But in order to do so, they would need a code. A code that only Corset knows.

"Well now that we know where he's located, it is in our best interest that we figure out what that code is.", Kneesocks declared.

"Surely you were able to get it out of that glutton angel after you defeated her, right?", Scanty asked.

"Um, well…not exactly…", sweat dropped the boy.

"What?!", growled the older Akuma already with her hands on Brief's throat.

"Sister, calm down! Choking the life out of him is not going to give us the code!", stammered Kneesocks.

"How frustrating. We finally find out where Corset and that angel are hiding out, and we can't even get inside…", muttered Scanty with a small tick on her forehead.

"Huh…well I was thinking since we're not that far from the center of the city, let's go to Oten Square and see what kind of code we need.", Brief suggested.

"If it's indeed blocked off by a demonic force field, then he must have many ghosts that are much stronger than the ones we've faced so far. Though we may not be ready to face them yet…I agree with young Brief in seeing what kind of code we may need.", Kneesocks replied.

"Very well then, let us head off shall we?", smirked Scanty as she got up from the bench. Kneesocks helped up Brief as he was trying to stand up on his own. "I-I think I'll be okay standing on my own…", he said, as he grabbed Soulfire while Chuck saw the trio leave before following right behind them.


After a good half a mile the trio finally made it to the massive 20 foot gate of Oten Square. They did in fact notice the demonic force field, as ghosts were seen roaming the area without a care in the world. "…So…this is where Corset and that disgusting angel are hiding…?", said Kneesocks as she and her sister looked behind the force field that was in front of them.

Brief looked over towards the left side of the gate as he noticed something; a massive dial that had nothing but multiples of 5 on them. Underneath of it was a smaller dial with multiples of 50 on them, as it had the numbers 50, 100, 150 and so on.

"(So, the code is some kinda locker combination…)", he thought as he looked to the right side of the gate and saw another dial. It had nothing but 6's on it as the dial looked to have demon horns on it. Scanty and Kneesocks looked through the barrier some more as they spotted something tall, somewhere in the center of the small city.

As they tried to get a closer view on it, it appeared to be a massive white holy cross with small lights appearing from the bottom of it; just like the last Hell's Gate.

"Ah! That must be the second Hell's Gate that he mentioned!", said Kneesocks.

"Then that's where he's hiding…", growled Scanty.

"Guys! You might wanna come over here for a second.", said Brief as the demon sisters looked over at the lad kneeling down near something. Scanty and Kneesocks came over as they tried to see what Brief might have been looking at. "Hm…you found us a possible way in?", asked Scanty while rubbing her chin.

"I think so.", the boy replied, "These two dials here look like some kind of locker combination. There's another one on the right that's just like these two. So, if we can figure out what the combination is to the demon force field, it might fall down and allow us to get inside!"

"Of course! So that's what you meant by code.", said Kneesocks with a smile on her face.

"Yes, that's right!", replied Brief.

"Yes, but now the question remains; how do we get in if we don't know what that code is…?!", muttered Scanty while folding her arms in frustration. While Kneesocks said a few words to calm down her sister, Brief was pondering ways that they could obtain the code they would need. He already knew Stocking was out of the question, even though she might have known the code by heart and wouldn't DARE think of telling him.

So that just left the other alternative; fight more of Corset's ghosts and hope some of them would spill out the code. The lad then stood up as he let off a tiring sigh. "We'll find out what the code is when the time is right, for now let's just focus on collecting more of my Panty's pieces…", he said.


Meanwhile…

Near the entrance of the city, there is a vehicle driving up the road as it was on its way into the city itself. The type of vehicle turned out to be the angel's former ride; See-Through, but it's not the car that was the surprise. In fact, it was the person that was driving the car.

The driver parked See Through next to a sidewalk near the entrance of Oten City, as the person opened the car door and climbed out. After shutting the door, the person's crescent moon-shaped afro was blowing in the gentle breeze.

That person was none other than the afro sporting preacher from Daten City himself.

"Damn…", he muttered, "Never thought I'd be back in dis city again…" Garterbelt walked away from See Through as he looked around at the city, of course many of the buildings reminded him of the time he was once here long ago. With both Panty and Stocking "gone" his only resource was Brief, well not just him, but the demon sisters that were casted aside by Corset as well.

"(Heh…maybe I should probably start lookin' for em'. If I know Brief, he's probably with the demon sisters. So trackin' them down shouldn't be that hard since I know the area so well…unfortunately…)"


Elsewhere…

"Ragh! This is so frustrating!", growled Scanty, "I figured he wouldn't make this easy!"

"Sister I know you're upset, but you can't let your anger get the best of you.", said Kneesocks calmly.

"She has a point…", added Brief in a soft tone, "I now feel better in knowing what we have to do to get to Corset. For now, let's focus on defeating more ghosts that may know the numbers of the code…"

Scanty stopped in her tracks as she heard what Brief had said. This made her blush just a bit as the rage in her heart started to dissipate. Although part of her was still adjusting to this new and better Brief, it made her wonder why he decided to stand her up during the wedding. A small tear came down her face as she rubbed her eye.

"S-Sorry…", she said. Brief stopped for a moment as he looked back at Scanty and smiled. "It's no problem…", he replied. After a while the three of them made their way back towards the area where the lad had his battle with Stocking, as they noticed three dark figures with red and yellow lines standing with their arms (or something to that effect) folded.

One of the figures looked to be a humanoid mosquito-like ghost, while the other two appeared to be an oversized groundhog ghost, and a ghost who knows tai-chi. Brief and the demon sisters stopped as they glanced at the three ghosts that were standing there, before transforming and gripping their respective weapons…

"Wonderful! I've been waiting to let off some hatred…", smirked Scanty while holding her 2 black and gold revolvers while Kneesocks gripped her black and gold scythes. Brief closed his eyes for a second before a wave of orange and red aura appeared around Soulfire, as well as his body.

"Meh-hu-hu! Lord Corset told us that you three would be here...", smirked the humanoid mosquito ghost.

"This is just perfect. Now we can bury you before you cause him more trouble.", added the groundhog ghost in a low tone.

"In other words, you three die TODAY! Hai!", said the tai-chi ghost while doing a chop gesture. Brief didn't at all feel scared let alone weak, as he gripped his black and gold battle axe with one hand before smirking at the three ghosts before him.

"Us dying?", he questioned as he tilted his head while raising a brow, "I'm kinda afraid you have that all flipped around don't you think?"

"Hrrm? So, you're that boy that Lord Corset wants aren't you…?", said the mosquito ghost.

"Yeah, so what's it to you…?", smirked the lad.

"What's it to us?! You dare lash your tongue at us?! Have you no idea who we are?!", growled the groundhog ghost in a low and scary tone.

"Yes! We are known as…" The tai-chi ghost paused as the other two did some sort of heroic pose. (Something like the Ginyu Force off of DBZ Kai.)

"The FALLEN AVENGERS!", the three of them shouted.

Sweat drops appeared on the foreheads of Brief and the demon sisters as they didn't know what to think of this kooky bunch of ghosts. "(Are these guys serious?! They look more like Saturday Morning cartoon rejects!)" Either way, they were in the way, so the trio gripped their weapons as they were prepared for a battle against them.

"I don't suppose you three know the code on how to enter into Oten Square, do you not?", questioned Kneesocks while holding her scythes. The three ghosts just looked at one another before cackling with laughter at the demon's question.

"Heh-heh-heh, so you three actually went to Oten Square? Then of course we know the code!", replied the mosquito ghost while shrugging and smirking.

"Yes, but we don't plan on telling you. That wouldn't be fair to Lord Corset.", grinned the ghost groundhog.

"You must fight us in order to receive the code! Hai! A challenge you will face with us!", said the tai-chi ghost before making another chopping gesture.

"A challenge? Phtttp! I hardly see the three of you matching up to that.", replied Brief already bored while gripping Soulfire with one hand, and scratching the back of his head with the other.

"We are High Class Demon Commanders! So I believe it's time to learn your place you despicable fools!", growled Scanty while pointing her revolvers at them, already fed up from their first impression on her.

"Oh my. Well boys, looks like these guys wanna fight. If that's the case…I say we give them one.", smirked the mosquito ghost while folding its arms.

"I think we should make our fights one-on-one, just to make it a little bit more exciting.", suggested the groundhog ghost while using his claw to scratch its chin.

"Perhaps you're right! That way we can see just how skilled they are individually. Hai!", replied the tai-chi ghost.

"That seems like a fair ordeal, what do you guys think…?", Kneesocks asked Scanty and Brief.

"That depends…will you all give us the code if we win?", the lad asked the ghosts.

"Absolutely!", replied the mosquito ghost.

"Of course if you lose, we'll just drag your corpses to Corset and see what he wants to do with them. Heh-heh-heh…", smirked the groundhog ghost in an eerie tone.

"(That one is really starting to freak me out…)", thought Kneesocks as she had a small drop of sweat on her forehead. Brief stood Soulfire standing on the ground as he closed his eyes. "Fine then, it's a deal…", he said with a small smirk.


Elsewhere just south of where the trio was…

Garterbelt continued looking around for where the demon sisters might have taken Brief, though little does he know, that the three of them are about to enter a battle.

"I know they somewhere around here…", he groaned, "I just hope I find his ass before he finds all of Panty's pieces."
