Oten Square…
"P-Please don't kill us! You gotta give us another chance! We may have lost the piece of the code, but they killed our leader!", begged the groundhog ghost.
"Yes! The boy and those demons were stronger than we expected, hai! I know we failed our assignment but we'll get them back! We swear!", added the tai-chi ghost.
Both of them were on their knees as they were begging not to be killed. Standing in front of them was the gothic angel herself, as she had both Stripe 1 and 2 in her hands. She glared at the two ghosts as they had failed their assignment of keeping their portion of the code safe from Brief and the demon sisters.
"Corset gave you one assignment…and you blew it.", said Stocking in a monotone voice, "Now it's time for your punishment…"
"Please Miss Stocking! Have mercy on us! We'll make sure they double pay for what they did!", wined the groundhog ghost. The gothic angel raised both of her katana as both of the ghosts could do nothing but shiver in fear. Without a word she slashed them both to bits as they both cried in pain and agony, before exploding.
She then turned around as she started to walk back towards Corset's office as there was nothing left of the ghosts, except black and red chunks. "Pathetic…", she muttered, "Looks like I'll have to deal with the problem myself…"

Brief & Soulfire: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Season 2!
Episode 9: Demon's Breakthrough!
Brief along with Garterbelt and the demon sisters took a small rest break outside the hotel that they first stayed at when they arrived in Oten City. Scanty was healing any injuries that she may have received during the battle with the mosquito ghost, while Kneesocks was oiling up her black and gold scythes. The lad of course was counting all the Panty pieces and making sure that there weren't any of them missing, while also catching a few winks before he and the others go out to look for the remaining code.
Garter had his hands rested behind his back as he looked at the buildings he saw in his youth. "(Yeah…I was king of this shithole back then…)", he thought.
Scanty glanced up at Brief while he was sleeping, a small smile appeared on her face as to how cute he looked with his eyes closed. "(Hm…I never thought someone like him would become so strong. It just kills me that he's in love with that blonde toilet angel. If he was mine I would care for him, and protect him from danger like I would my darling sister…)"
"So, ya'll got any plans on how to find these bastard code ghosts?", asked the afro preacher.
"Well while we were here, we combed a good portion of the city while on the hunt for Corset's hideaway. However there may be some residential areas that we have yet to look…", replied Kneesocks.
"Like the ghetto?", asked Garter.
"Um, yes something like that…", said Kneesocks.
"Perhaps you may be onto something, if I was a ghost that was trying to protect something…I would go somewhere where no one would even THINK to look.", pondered Scanty.
"I think we should check da back streets. Since I know this area so well, I'll go with Brief and look around.", replied the afro preacher while hiding a dark smile. After hearing his name being mentioned the lad shot his eyes opened, as he heard plans being made without him.
"W-W-W-What?!"
"Ah, young Brief. You're awake.", said Kneesocks.
"Your afro headed friend just mentioned that you and him should search the back street areas of the city, while me and my sister check other residential areas for the ghost.", Scanty elaborated.
"B-B-But, when did we make that decision?!", he stammered.
"Just now.", replied Garterbelt while placing his hand on the boy's shoulder causing him to shiver. As much as he wasn't going to like it Brief didn't have much of a say in the matter. He along with the perverted preacher made their way towards the intersection, as Scanty and Kneesocks looked at one another for a moment…
"I don't know why, but I think Brief's friend might be a pedophile…", stated Kneesocks.
"I may have to agree with you on that statement Kneesocks. Even so, they're now a team. So we should start our hunt in the residential districts of the city.", replied Scanty.
"Yes, the sooner we find our ghosts, the better…", smirked Kneesocks.
"Absolutely.", Scanty replied in the same tone.
Brief and Garterbelt…
The afro preacher and the lad were walking down a deserted intersection until they both spotted an alleyway leading to the back streets. "C'mon kid, you can't be scared of da hood are ya? In case somethin' jumps off I got your back.", said Garter while hugging the kid in some kind of perverted way.
"(Great…that makes me feel so much better…)", he sweat dropped.
Brief and Garter walked through the alleyway as they found themselves in the back streets, somehow the atmosphere didn't seem as threatening as the lad had thought. In fact this was the "nice" half of the back streets as many of the houses and buildings didn't have graffiti on them, however they did have pentagrams which made him feel real uncomfortable.
The ginger haired boy gripped Soulfire in his hand as the afro preacher walked closely beside him. Suddenly Garter stopped as he thought he heard something running across the rooftops of the houses.
"What's up man?", asked Brief as he looked at Garter.
"Looks like we ain't da only one's here…", he replied in a serious tone. Suddenly there was a small tremor as Brief and the afro priest kept their balance while looking around for anything that might be suspicious. Both of them had serious looks on their faces as they started to get into their combat poses.
Suddenly a horde of eyeball ghosts started appearing as they closed in on the duo. Brief went into action right away as he slashed some of the ghosts that were coming his way. "You bitches want some of THIS?!", growled Garterbelt as he ripped off his robe while transforming his garter belt into a machine gun. He fired off round upon round at the eyeball ghosts that were closing in on him as well.
**SLASH! BLAM! SLICE!**
"Where the hell did these guys come from…?!", said Brief while gritting his teeth a little bit.
"Corset…probably set up an ambush cuz' he knew we were comin'!", growled the afro preacher while shooting at more eyeball ghosts that were attacking him. Brief slashed and cut some more of the ghosts before smacking the last one that came his way, into a wall with a roundhouse. Surprisingly he didn't need to use any of Soulfire's power like he did in previous battles with ghosts.
"(Whoa…I never thought I'd get this strong with this weapon. My body feels light as a feather, almost like I'm not using any power at all…)"
Garter and Brief kept slashing and shooting the eyeball ghosts down to the last one. Once it was defeated the duo felt another tremor beneath them, but it was stronger than the last one was.
All of the sudden more eyeball ghosts started appearing but this time in bigger numbers. Not only that but now there was a king-sized eyeball ghost with many flying eyeball ghosts beside it, as Brief and Garter just looked…and sweat dropped.
"Oh shit…", they both said in unison.
Scanty and Kneesocks…
The demon sisters checked around their area of the city, as they had crossed a few intersections while looking for any residential districts that they could find. So far the only ghosts they even encountered were one or two mini ghosts, and they weren't even close to being a threat. After slicing and shooting them the demons continued their search, until suddenly it brought them to a suburban area of the city.
"Well isn't this a nice cup of tea.", said Scanty, "I never imagined there would be such a nice community in such a dark and dank place…"
"Perhaps someone saw their surroundings as an eyesore and decided to do something about it.", replied Kneesocks. The two of them walked along the sidewalk of the suburban community as they kept their eyes open for any ghosts; mainly, the one that knows the code.
However Scanty stopped as she felt a sudden inkling, that something was about to happen.
"What's the matter sister?", asked the younger Akuma as her sister stood still. Scanty looked just several feet ahead, as she saw something coming up out of the yard of one of the houses. The demon quickly got off her panties before transforming them into her Double-Gold Spandex, then pointed the guns at the sudden thing that was rising up towards the sky.
It was black with small red-yellow lines as it was accompanied by a larger mass of the very same. Glowing red eyes appeared on the bigger mass of the unidentified being, as to the demon sisters, that being was a ghost.
"I think we found what we're looking for…", said Scanty while gritting her teeth. Kneesocks whipped off her namesake as she transformed them into her black and gold scythes, before gripping them in her battle pose. The dark mass got bigger and bigger until it was skyscraper size, as it appeared to have tentacles. The ghost then morphed itself into a giant squid as it glared at the demon sisters before it…
"I am the Code Keeping Ghost known as…The Terror Squid!", bellowed the ghost as it waved its huge tentacles around, making itself appear scary. Scanty and Kneesocks looked at one another while holding their weapons before looking back at the ghost and smirking.
"So, you're the one we've been looking for…? How interesting.", said the lime haired demon.
"We've already dealt with one of the other code keeping ghosts, meaning that you'll be the next one to hand over the code.", added Kneesocks with a devilish grin. The ghost squid was surprised only for a moment as he never thought the demon sisters, would be capable of handling the Fallen Avengers. He then smirked (if you could call it that) at them while clapping two of his tentacles together like hands.
"Buh-huh-huh-huh-huh! So you two were actually able to defeat the Fallen Avengers, hm? How amusing…", he said.
"I think that will be enough laughter out of you. Now tell us the code, or we may have to get nasty.", demanded Scanty while keeping her revolvers pointed at the ghost.
"Bah! Is that a threat may I ask…? If so, this may not end well for you two.", retorted the squid ghost while morphing one of his tentacles into a sledge hammer.
"Sister, he's about to attack.", said Kneesocks in a serious tone.
"I'm aware of that.", replied Scanty.
"Lord Corset told me should you cross my path…to eliminate you from ever ruining his plan. Now you shall suffer pain like you've never experienced before!", bellowed the ghost squid as he raised the hammer before launching it in the demon sister's direction. They both jumped out of the way before tumbling for a bit and making their way to their feet.
"You can't stop us! We're High Class Commanders!", growled Scanty as she fired off bullets from her revolvers. The ghost squid swatted many of the bullets like flies as Kneesocks ran towards the opposite side of the ghost to make her attack. She jumped into the air as one of the tentacles spotted her and tried to slam her, then sliced off an incoming one that tried to grab her.
However more tentacles started coming her way, as the light blue haired demon was swinging her scythes and slashing off any of them that tried to grab her. Though as hard as she tried more of them started arising, as they aimed at Kneesocks trying to drag and pull her down.
"No you DON'T!", she sneered as she cut off several more tentacles while swinging her scythes at others to keep them at bay. However the ghost squid managed to grab hold of one of her black and gold scythes, as it was pried right out of Kneesocks' hands.
With one scythe left the demon was at a bit of a disadvantage.
"(This is bad…if we die here, Brief will never stand a chance against Corset, even with that Garterbelt person by his side...)"
Back on Brief and Garter's side…
"Queee!" (**Explosion**)
After more than ten full minutes of slashing and shooting, Brief and Garterbelt finally managed to bring the eyeball ghost army to its knees. The only threat left was the giant eyeball ghost while it still had four flying eyeball ghosts beside it.
"All that's left is that bastard.", growled the afro preacher as he loaded his machine gun. He pointed at the incoming flying eyeball ghosts as he fired off rounds of ammunition, hoping that it would kill them. Brief gripped Soulfire in both hands as he rushed at the other flying eyeballs that were coming his way.
**SLASH!**
He cut one of the eyeballs in half as he kicked the other one away. After the one he cut exploded the lad went after the boss as he leaped into the air, before swinging his black and gold scythe-like axe at its cornea. The ghost itself let off a loud muffle as it didn't have a mouth while Brief landed on the ground as smooth as a cat.
"Garter! There's one of them coming for you!", shouted the boy as the afro priest turned in his direction. He shot at the flying eyeball ghost that was rapidly closing in as it suddenly exploded, after one of the bullets went through its eye.
While the giant eyeball ghost was thrashing about trying to see without its eye, Brief grasped Soulfire as he looked up at the troubled ghost. "Sorry about this, but you must go…", he said in a sad smile, as he jumped up high while tapping into Soulfire's power just a little bit. He made an upward slash that cut from the bottom of the ghost's eyelid, to the tip top of the eye socket itself.
The deep cut he made started to glow as lights started appearing from it, or course that's when both Brief and Garter hit the ground and covered themselves. "He's GONNA BLOW!", shouted the afro preacher.
"QUEEE!" (**Explosion**)
Cornea and eye chunks were scattered everywhere inside the back street as Garter and Brief got up from the ground. The eyeball ghost army was done, as the boss ghost was defeated. Even so…they both still had an uneasy feeling.
"Heh…I knew it was an ambush…", muttered Garterbelt, "Corset never was one when it came to losing…"
"Well even if it was…thanks for having my back man.", said Brief while scratching his head nervously.
"Heh-heh-heh! Pleasure's all mine Brief! And if ya lucky, it'll soon be all yours…", replied the afro preacher in an eerie tone causing the lad to shutter a bit. Suddenly the two of them heard clapping sounds as a figure stepped into sight.
"Awww, how sweet. Is this the part where you two kiss n' fuck each other?", said an all too familiar voice. Both Brief and Garter's eyes had widened when they found out who the voice belonged to.
"Stocking!", they both said in unison.
Back to the Demon Sisters…
Scanty was shooting at the squid ghost while trying to avoid getting grabbed by its tentacles. She dodged one of the incoming ones while using her guns to shoot at several others. "Don't think I'm finished with you yet!", she growled as she rolled over to avoid getting grabbed by yet another tentacle.
"Such a floundering fish you are…", he smirked, "This makes eating you so much more fun…"
Kneesocks still had one good scythe left after the ghost squid broke the other one to pieces. However if she didn't want to lose this battle, she would have to come up with another attack method, and fast! Though she pondered what her next move would be, she suddenly saw her older sister dangling high into the air after dropping both of her revolvers on the ground.
"Sister! Help me!", she shouted as Kneesocks' eyes had widened in fear. With only one scythe how was she ever going to save her beloved sister? If she made an attack there would be too many tentacles to stop, along with the possibility of having THAT scythe taken from her as well.
"You bastard…", she growled while gripping her lonely black and gold scythe, "Let my sister GO!"
The ghost squid just laughed as Kneesocks was serious with her demand. "And what will you do if I don't?", was his reply.
The younger demon gritted her teeth as she looked at her poor sister hanging in the air by one of the ghost squid's tentacles. If only she had her second scythe she could cut off the one holding Scanty, and help her retrieve her weaponry so they could defeat this bastard. While the older Akuma was fighting to break free, two smaller tentacles started approaching her body.
"I'm sorry…but what I really meant to say is…what will you do, if I do this?" The ghost squid used the smaller tentacles to do some exploring into Scanty's bra as the demon squealed, not wanting to be violated in that spot. Kneesocks got more upset as she clenched her teeth harder, while the squid ghost was laughing in her face while violating her own sister.
The more it continued the madder she became, as a sudden glow of orange-red aura similar to Soulfire's, started to seep from her hands into the lonely scythe she was holding. Not knowing what was going to happen next, Kneesocks didn't realize that her weapon started glowing a bright yellow, as it started transforming into some kind of new weapon. After releasing a burst of demon aura, Kneesocks' scythe had changed into something more deadly and powerful…
She glanced at her new weapon, as the bottom and top of the staff was shaped like the New Orleans Nola. (Saints logo from the NFL.) The blade itself was an inch thick as it was three feet long and two feet wide. It was a black and gold color along with the staff but it was more gold than it was black. It sparkled like gold as the younger Akuma gripped it in both of her hands.
She couldn't believe what this new weapon was. It was now the all mighty weapon from Hell itself.
"Th-Th-That can't be…that's…the scythe of legend?!", stammered the ghost squid as Scanty was getting a tad dizzy from being up so high in the air. Kneesocks looked up at the ghost as a demonic smirk came across her face.
"Behold! The legendary weapon of Hell! The scythe crafted by Death itself! The GOLDEN REAPER!", she declared as proudly as she could be.
Elsewhere to Brief and Garterbelt…
"Stockin'! Cut all dis bullshit with Corset right now! Can't chu' see he's using you?!", growled Garterbelt.
"Bite me afro dick…", groaned the gothic angel as she gripped Stripe 1 and 2.
"Garter's right Stocking! He betrayed the demon sisters after you took off with him. How do you know he won't do the same once this is over?", said Brief trying to reason with her.
"…I don't.", she replied.
"Then why da fuck are you doin' this shit then…?!", asked the afro preacher.
"I don't need to explain anything to you two. Right now…Corset's getting upset that his ghosts are being killed by you assholes. So now, I'm gonna deal with the problem myself.", replied Stocking in a monotone voice. She got into her battle pose while gripping her blue and white katana, as she let her newfound angelic aura flow through her body…
"Careful Brief, I can tell she's gotten much stronger since she left with that bastard…", Garter sweat dropped a bit. The lad knew that there was no way to convince the angel of the mistake she was making, so with that in mind he gripped Soulfire as he let its aura flow through his body.
"Brief, what da fuck are you doin'?!", stammered the afro preacher as he saw the boy point his weapon at the angel before him.
"She's not going to listen to reason Garter. Not unless we fight her…", he replied.
"You dare raise that weapon against me Geek Boy?", said the angel while raising a brow.
"Fuck you…", said Brief in a dark tone as his eyes started turning red. Stocking glared at the lad as she rushed him with great speed, however he clashed Soulfire with Stripes 1 and 2 while giving the angel the one thousand yard stare. Although Garterbelt was the angel's former mentor, there was little that he could do in this situation.
"(Great, now her ass is pissed. Hope you know what you're doin'…)"
"Corset told me not to kill you, but your ass is pushing it.", growled Stocking while gridlocked with Brief.
"I already told you Stocking, I will stop you and Corset if it means saving Panty.", he sneered.
"You're still stuck on that bitch? Man, you're fuckin' annoying.", groaned the angel.
"Panty. Is. Not. A. BITCH!"
Brief pushed the gothic angel back with a demonic shockwave as she back flipped to her feet. The boy's eyes were now as red as the demon sisters, as the aura from Soulfire flowed throughout it as well as his entire body. Garter kept his distance for the moment as he saw what kind of power Brief had.
"Damn…at this rate, there's no tellin' how dis battle will end…", he said to himself.
Brief gripped the battle axe with one hand as he made it to his feet. Stocking of course held both of her katana as she glared at the boy. Both of their auras were nearly matched with one another, as they started to slowly circle one another while gripping their weapons.
"You're not giving me much of a choice here Stocking…", he said in a low tone.
"Ask me if I give a shit Geek Boy…", she replied in a monotone voice.
"My name is Brief, bitch!", growled Brief.
"I know you didn't just-"
"You don't think I did?!", snapped the boy, "You cut up your sister whom I love with ALL my heart and soul! I tried to convince you what you did was wrong, but you wouldn't except it! If you ask me Stocking, you're more of a bitch than Panty is!"
Stocking's eye's widened as she couldn't believe that Brief was even capable of this kind of talk. All her reasoning for him had just evaporated as she grasped both Stripe 1 and 2, while charging full speed at the boy. He in turn did the very same in knowing this was the only way to stop her…
"I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!", they both screamed in unison.
