A.N: Love the reviews for the story so far, keep em' coming! As for what kicked off last chapter; Brief and the Demon Sisters have returned from Oten Square, to find three ghosts waiting for them known as the Fallen Avengers.

They challenge them to a one-on-one battle apiece to compete for a chance to unlock the code, to bypass the demon barrier at the entrance of Oten Square that Corset put up.

So, without further ado…

LET THE BATTLE ROYALE BEGIN!

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

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

Episode 8: Fallen Avengers (Part 2 of 2)!

"So…which one of you would like to be our first challenger…?", smirked the ghost mosquito while the others (The groundhog ghost and ghost of tai-chi) chuckled evilly. Brief looked at Scanty and Kneesocks as the three of them quickly got into a small huddle on what their next move was.

"This could turn in our favor.", said Brief, "If we beat them one by one, we'll be that much closer to having the code!"

"The boy is right dear sister, of course in order to receive the code from them…we have to follow their ruuruules.", added Kneesocks.

"Yes that may be true, but they are also Corset's flunkies. Which means we cannot take them lightly regardless of their ruuruules!", Scanty replied.

"Well I got dibs on the groundhog ghost, you and Kneesocks can handle mosquito face and the ghost that knows karate.", stated the boy in a serious tone.

"W-What?! Why should I fight that mosquito ghost?! My bullets probably won't even touch him if he takes flight!", growled the older Akuma.

"That may be, but remember that you are a long-range fighter. So that should be a perfect match-up for you my sister…", said Kneesocks in a calming tone trying to ease Scanty's rage.

"Kneesocks is right Scanty, plus knowing that tai-chi ghost he's a close-range type, so that shouldn't be a problem for her either.", Brief replied. Scanty grumbled for a bit as a small tick mark appeared on her head, however she sucked it up and decided to go along with the battle choice that was given to her…

"Alright you low-class weaklings! We have agreed to face you one-on-one, starting with YOU mosquito boy!", sneered the lime haired demon while pointing at the ghost. He of course chuckled evilly as the others did the same while looking at the trio before them.

"Meh-hu-hu-hu! Ah, so you'll be my opponent hmm? This should be quite interesting indeed…", smirked the mosquito ghost while standing in a fighting position. Scanty spun her black-gold revolvers around before crossing them over and pointing them at the ghost. The two of them stood glaring at one another while Kneesocks and Brief, along with the groundhog and tai-chi ghost, made room.

"Sister! Be careful!", shouted the younger demon as the ginger haired lad was thinking the same. Scanty and the mosquito ghost started circling around one another as they still kept their eyes glued to each other, waiting to see which one of them would make the first move.

"You seem pretty skilled in gun-fighting, but do you have what it takes to hit a moving TARGET-!"

The mosquito ghost took off in a blaze of speed at Scanty as she was standing still, waiting for the right moment to attack.

**BLAM! BLAM!**

She shot off two rounds as the bullets sailed past the ghost before he made a slash at her with his claws. Scanty gripped her guns while dodging several swipes and slashes from the mosquito ghost before rolling out of the way from his double-sideways slash. "(Drats! He's faster than I thought! If I plan to win, I must finish this rather quickly!)"

"What's the matter deary? Your weapons slowing you down?!", laughed the mosquito ghost as Scanty gritted her teeth. She then charged back at him while firing her guns rapidly, launching every bullet every way possible. The ghost took flight as he zoomed through the air dodging almost every bullet that sailed, before darting his way towards the demon. Once he got close enough he went in for a slash attack, but Scanty countered at the last minute while smirking, before delivering a right hook to his face.

**POW!**

"Nice one sister!", Kneesocks shouted.

"Yes! Keep it up and we'll win for sure!", Brief added.

"Feh! Those poor fools. The boss has taken stronger hits than that and he's still standin'.", smirked the groundhog ghost while folding his arms.

"Hai! This battle is not over yet!", replied the tai-chi ghost. The mosquito ghost shook off the impact of the hit that Scanty made on him, suddenly he heard the safety of her guns click as he back flipped out of the way of the incoming bullet barrage.

"Why won't you DIE?!", she growled as she quickly transformed her guns into a black-gold shotgun. Scanty fired shot after shot but wasn't able to nail a hit on the flying bug-like ghost. He smirked again as he zoomed in for an incoming slash, she barely dodges out of the way in time before pointing her shotgun and firing once more…

"I'm not through yet princess!", he grinned as he darted at the demon again. Scanty fired at point blank range but before she could pull the trigger, her black-gold shotgun was knocked out of her hand.

"D-Dammit!", she growled as she raced to retrieve the gun before the mosquito ghost's next attack. He swooped it and slashed at her, only cutting part of her business outfit. Scanty tumbled for a bit as she slammed onto the ground before looking up to see the bug ghost still flying.

"Scanty! You have to focus your attacks!", yelled Brief.

"Don't let your anger cloud your aim sister! You can win!", Kneesocks added. Scanty sat on the ground while the mosquito ghost was still hovering in the air, with her shotgun three feet from her, how was she going to reach it in time enough to fire it off and end this torment…?

She closed her eyes as she thought about what Brief and Kneesocks had said. She then heard the buzzing of the wings of the bug ghost as it was about to aim for her yet again, and that's when…she started to hear the sound of his wings buzzing closer and closer…

"Hu-hu-hu! Saying your final prayers before you die? How sweet! Well then, prepare to be sent back to Hell where you belong!", smirked the mosquito ghost as it prepared to attack. Scanty kept her eyes closed while listening in in the bug ghost's wings, she could hear them flapping slowly in her mind, as if she could tell when he was going to strike. As the ghost got closer to her position, Kneesocks and Brief just watched with heavily anxious looks on their faces.

The ghost swiped at Scanty…

She shot up and evaded it…

She launched her knee into its abdomen…

Then…it flew backwards…

"Now it's my turn!", grinned the demon evilly as she dashed fourth to retrieve her shotgun. Scanty changed it back into two revolvers like before, as she fired off shots in a frenzy. Bullet after bullet pierced through the ghost mosquito's body as his horrified friends just watched him suffer in agony.

Scanty grinned wildly as she was having the time of her life, turning the ghost into Swiss cheese. With one final shot to the head a gaping hole had appeared, as lights started to appear all through its body.

"Curses! I wasn't…expecting this!", he hissed in pain, "How could I fall to such…a low life weakling of a demon…?!"

"Excuse me…?! But it appears that this 'low life' of a demon, just ended your miserable existence once and for all!", Scanty smirked blowing the smoke off her gun.

"AVENGE ME MY COMRADES!" (**Explosion**)

Both ghosts had their mouths agape as did Brief and Kneesocks, as Scanty transformed her weapons back into panties before slipping them on. She whipped her lime green hair into the wind before looking at the other ghosts with one eye open.

"Hm-hm-hm…by design we demons are nearly impossible to defeat. It's just too bad your little friend didn't know that…", she smirked.

"Way to go Scanty! I knew you could do it!", cheered Brief causing her to blush.

"(D-Did he really think I did that good?)", she thought.

"That was a perfect display my sister, I knew you would win the battle if you just stay focused and never give up.", smiled Kneesocks. With their leader gone the groundhog and tai-chi ghost were a bit shaken, but at the same time they were a bit infuriated as well. "Damn that girl! She just killed our master! How the hell are we supposed to do our Fallen Avengers pose now?!", growled the groundhog ghost.

"I suppose rules are meant to be broken. Let's just have at them and avenge our fallen leader! Hai!", replied the tai-chi ghost while making a chop gesture. Brief face-palmed as Kneesocks just sweat dropped…

"We'll deal with these two…", said the lad as he and the younger Akuma rushed into battle. Scanty decided to turn some of her business suit into a halter-top while making the bottom half into a skirt. She tied the flowing shreds into a knot as she watched her sister and Brief fight the remaining ghosts.

She then started to wonder if Brief thought she really did a good job in her battle. She was never complimented on her combat style by another person other than Kneesocks. It felt different. It felt…nice.

"(Brief…other than my darling sister, you're the only other human that has made me feel special in some kind of way…)"

Meanwhile in Oten Square…

Stocking was training in a room as she was preparing for the next time she would meet Brief again. Though her last encounter with him nearly got her killed she was more than ready to slash him down, if needed. Suddenly Corset walked in as he watched the angel swing her blue-white katana, while doing a few combo slashing moves.

"Hm. Perfect my dear. Pretty soon you'll be able to face that boy once again. However should that come to past, he is not to be killed. Understood?", he said with his hands behind his back.

"…Yeah.", she replied, as he exited the room while she went back to her training. After doing a back flip before following up with another combo slash, Stocking stuck Stripe 1 and 2 into the ground as she felt her angelic powers getting stronger. Sure Panty was strong herself when it came to firepower, but Stocking had more technique and skill, and was also a bit of a powerhouse herself in swordsmanship.

"Geek Boy and those slutty demons will be coming soon…", she muttered, "It'll sure be a hell of a mess if he somehow finds all of Panty's pieces…"

Back on the battlefield, five minutes later…

Brief and Kneesocks dealt severe damage to the remaining Fallen Avengers ghosts, as they had their black-gold weapons pointed at their throats.

"Enough of the fun and games for today, now tell me what the code is to get inside Oten Square!", growled the lad while holding the tip of Soulfire's blade towards the ghost groundhog's throat. He gritted his teeth as his comrade wasn't doing so hot either, before sighing in defeat and being true to their word.

"F-Fine…", grumbled the groundhog ghost, "The number of the code to get inside the gate, is 5. Add 20 to that number to get the second number for the code, then you subtract 15 for the third…"

Brief thought about what the ghost had said as he did the math in his head. The first three numbers of the code were; 5, 25, and 10. He then thought back to the number of dials there were while at the entrance, as there were two on the left side, and one big one on the right.

"Is there any more information you two know about the code…?", asked Kneesocks while keeping her scythes close to the tai-chi ghost's neck.

"W-Well…there are nine total numbers in that code, and we only gave you the first three. So, you'll have to find the other Code Keeping Ghosts to get the rest of the code.", he replied nervously. Though not happy about it Brief and the younger demon let the ghosts up, before transforming their weapons back to what they once were. (Well, in Kneesocks' case…)

"You two should return to Corset and give him this warning…we WILL be coming for him…", said Brief with a hint of fire behind his eyes causing both ghosts to jump back. Afterwards they quickly fled before they could receive any more damage done to them, as Scanty approached the duo while patting both of them on the back…

"Ha-Ha! Not a bad performance I should say, so all that's left is to find the other two ghosts that know the remaining code. Hm?", she smiled as well as smirked.

"Our powers are continuing to get stronger with each battle sister. Pretty soon Corset won't be a match for us and neither will that other toilet angel…", replied Kneesocks.

"Even so, Corset knows we're on to him. So he's gonna try his baddest to stop us every way possible before we even reach him…", stated Brief.

"Ya got dat right…", replied a voice as the trio suddenly turned around. The owner of the voice was standing behind them, with his quarter moon-shaped afro and white preacher robe.

"G-Garter!", stammered the ginger haired lad, "W-What are you doing here…?"

"I followed you guys a couple days after you left fo' da city. Plus you might need some help against that ugly motherfucker anyway.", replied the afro preacher.

"Well uh, Garter…we just managed to figure out Corset's whereabouts as well as gain a piece of the code.", said Scanty with some excitement behind her voice.

"Ya don't say…?", smirked Garterbelt while rubbing his chin.

"No doubt.", Brief replied in confidence.

"He and that Stocking angel reside in Oten Square in the heart of the city. The second Hell's Gate is also there as well…", said Kneesocks while adjusting her glasses.

"Meaning, that if we crush the remaining ghosts that know the code, we'll finally have a shot at that bastard for betraying us!", growled Scanty while shaking her fist. Garter was quite happy with the progress that Brief and the demon sisters made since their departure. However, he did remember that Panty's pieces were going to be a factor as well…

"Brief. How many Panty pieces did you find while ya'll were here?", he suddenly asked. The lad quickly checked his bag as he counted the pieces that he already found. "So far we've got 95 of them man.", he replied as he closed up the bag.

Garter rubbed his chin again as he closed his eyes. "Damn, that's all?", he sweat dropped.

"Y-Yeah, but we're also still looking for some more…", Brief replied while also sweat dropping. Suddenly a quick smirk appeared on the afro preacher's face as he whipped out a white bag. He slowly opened the bag as the demon sisters along with Brief approached it to see what was inside.

"You not da only one who's been lookin'…", said Garter as a bright smile appeared on the boy's face.

"M-M-More Panty pieces!", Brief replied in excitement, wondering if he should hug the perverted preacher or not. Garter tells him while he was looking for him and the demon sisters, he ran into a ghost that was carrying a bag of the pieces around trying to hide them. He defeats the ghost (somehow) as he retrieves the bag, then looked inside and found it to have Panty pieces…

Fast-forward ahead to ten minutes later…

"…And since then, we've been fighting Corset's ghosts while trying to search for his whereabouts.", Brief explained as Scanty and Kneesocks agreed with his story.

"Damn, so ya'll been busy huh…? That explains how you're able to use a demon weapon even though you're not a demon eh Brief?", Garterbelt replied.

"Absolutely.", said Kneesocks.

"Feh…I had a feelin' that dick would try somethin' like this. Even though ya'll would be fine on ya'll own, ya'll gonna need all da help you can get…", said the afro priest.

"Perhaps this will work in our favor; if we have you helping us deal with that traitor along with that glutton of an angel, surely the victory will be ours.", Scanty smirked while shaking her fist a bit.

"Dat may be, but remember they're also my angels. Although…never thought Stockin' would go rogue.", sighed the afro preacher while scratching his crescent afro. Brief's hope of reviving his fallen love has now increased thanks to Garterbelt, as he now has a total of 333 Panty pieces; which is half of the total amount that he needs. With his newfound confidence as well as determination, he clapped his hands once as he turned to the demon sisters and Garter.

"Alright you guys, let's search for the other two code ghosts so we can shut down the force field. Then we'll search for the other half of my Panty's pieces and make our way to Corset!", declared the boy.

"Heh-heh, that's a mighty fine attitude you got there Brief! Fine by me.", smirked Garter.

"Wonderfully put.", smiled Kneesocks.

"As much as I would hate to burst our bubble like this, how do you suppose we find the two ghosts that know the remainder of the code…?", Scanty questioned while closing her eyes and rubbing her chin.

"We could split into two teams and cover more of da city dat way, plus I know dis place like the back of my hand.", Garterbelt suggested.

"Perhaps Mr. Belt is right young Brief, we'll cover much more space in the time we need to find the ghosts and destroy them.", said Kneesocks. The Rock boy thought for a moment about the plan; yes they would cover more ground but at the same time, there was no telling what Corset might have planned in a case such as this.

However, he also knew how strong he and the demon sisters have gotten since they arrived in the city. With that in mind Brief agreed to the idea of splitting up into two teams, to search for the ghosts that knew the code.

"Alright then.", he said with a smirk as he spun Soulfire before grasping it with his right hand, "Let's go!"

Of course in a small corner near a building a quarter of a block from where the others were standing, Stocking was watching the whole thing unfold. Now that she knew that Garterbelt was along with Brief and the demon sisters, it was going to make plans a bit more complicated than before…

"(So afro's here…? Damn Geek Boy, you plan on bringing the whole city with you…?!)"
