Hello, this is Big Red speaking. Normally I don't address current events much, but I can say I am happy to announce we have a surge of Russian readers of this fic lately and for good reasons when the innocent civilians are stripped of most entertainment in the light of recent events. I've always be one who write stories for everyone no matter where they from. Whether they like Sonic, Mario, or mostly any video game. I am hoping to try writing these chapters at a quicker pace for all my Russian fans out here, you won't be disappointed. That being said, we are now at the start of everyone preparing to leave for Valua. But things won't start off well with Lucifer's demons getting the wrong idea on the Lost Hex. Let's see how things will unfold.

The Lost Hex had been slowly fixed thanks to the work of everyone that came here before the Blue Marine Rogue Alliance's arrival. Many places of land had been fully replaced thanks to the combined efforts of Dimentio's dimensional warping and Fawful's terraforming tools. Alex's building and Block Man's bricks worked as a roadmap of how to rebuild parts of the floating continent the way it originally was, even down to the floating structures. The Pink Villager's experience from the islands helped in recreating any pavement or water structures that were originally on each restructured area when possible. Heavy hitters like Centurion, Vector, Jack, Zazz, and a team of adult Zeti were helping reconstruct the windmills of Windy Hill back to their former glory. Although this time they were built with tougher wood from the World Destruction Committee's ship to make sure they are unlikely to be easily destroyed again. Incineroar had to sit things out as his flaming belt would had ignited any wood too easily if he grabbed anything. The wounded Sandworms of Desert Ruins were tended by the efforts of the Zeti locals, Dytto, Kyrie, various Rocket Grunts with Hyper Potions, Athena, Lucas, Robin, Byleth, and any spare fairies that Young Link had on himself. The bellowing annelid beasts were more than thankful that these two legged creatures were happy to help them after the damaged they endured during the former chaos that ensured. One would lick Kyrie with a massive lap, leaving the blonde man covered in sticky wads of saliva. Athena giggled at the sight as it was cute as well as amusing. The Grunts however would be amazed that medicine made especially for Pokemon would work as well for any creature at healing the worst of wounds. Arcade Bunny would be more than happy to used his famed crane game claw to rebuild any fallen blocks or structures to bring the ruins back to their former glory. Zomom and a team of Zeti would be spinning around to generate powerful sandy whirlwinds to reshape parts of the desert back to the way it originally was. Kururin uses the might of his Helirin Power Mode to carry pieces of fallen food for Dessert Ruins back to the way it was. Licorice were burned and molded together by Roy's flames, the Ice Climbers chilled any massive ice cream that were originally melting, MinMin finely bakes and put together any donuts that were previously torn apart, and Isabelle finally fluffs the other massive deserts like pancakes and cookies thanks to her cooking experience.

"There you go, Mr. Pancake. You can finally be fresh enough for those that want to explore you, or even taste you," the joyful dog secretary said in bliss.

All the underwater tunnels were in the middle of being reworked to fix all damaged that occurred to them. A double team of Dive Man Man and Corrin were enough to help make it possible for the Zeti eager to explore the viewing once more. Bubble Man also checked to make sure not a single leak would happen during the process of this restructure. Ecco herds all the hiding fish of all species back to their original range so they can swim peacefully in the vast oceans of Tropical Coast. His echolocation made it easy to know how they all felt and safely communicate that they were free to enjoy the waters without any fear. Master Zik made sure to oversee the vacation loving Zeti and Wisps team up to made sure all the electric juicers were safe enough to chop the famous giant fruit once more to help the Zeti Juice trade. Tundra Man blankets the forests of Frozen Factory's land in a flesh coat of blizzards to maintain the frigid temperatures with the help of Sheep Man and Cloud Man's cloudy weapons. This mixture helped allow the robots to create freeze snowstorm clouds instead of their usual usual thunder clouds. Even the normally aggressive Yeti that inhabit the snowy mountains were happy that their natural habitat were less destructive than before. Both Elec Man and Fuse Man fully recharge any power source that is overloaded and destroyed within the eponymous factory itself to make snow production much easier. Zeti coworkers endlessly worked their shifts to make sure that not a single thing wasn't in business for the afternoon. Zeena and Phantom R were also helping and completely restructuring the famous Frozen Factory Casino for all the gamblers that wanted to enjoy their test of luck again. The Silent Forest would be in the middle of a beautiful forest-wide sprinkle thanks to the combined efforts of Aqua Man and the VPD's choppers working their magic via fast moving propellers "cutting" the former's Water Cannon into an artificial shower. The local fauna from owls to surprise crocodiles really enjoyed the water that tapped at their bodies. Trees would be put back in place with Ristar's powerful arms pulling them up and Dillon digging deeper holes to replant any that were initially uproot. Orta's dragon is just as helpful for using his powerful hind legs to move any destroyed trees or chopped stumps out of the ground for safety. The silver haired girl would overlook everything that is happening from above to see the beloved jungle close to perfect with everyone's help . Zor riding his famed robot owl made sure to scope out any possible danger as well as synchronize any lost owls back to their original nesting grounds in these forests.

Lava Mountain's volcanic activity would be slowed down with Drill Man and Jill using Drill Dozer to dug enough deep tunnels to redirect any lava back into the earth for safety, Doctor Mario used more of the Phazon Cure Megavitamins to save any corrupted Wisps that survived their infection as the Rookie used a special Wispon Gun to refuel any Nega Wisps with the Hyper-go-on energy that they truly needed. The fully cured aliens would be thankful for this hospitality as they flew around gracefully to thank all that helped them. The wolf could't help but to smile that he was of help for the kind species all thanks to his new partner Yacker helping him out with directions. The miners used their own pickaxes along with Terry, Ken, and Gravity Man's strength to clear away all fallen rocks that blocked what used to be there working tunnels. Crash Man made sure to blow away any tougher stones or diamonds that were proven to be too tough for the two to move. Crystal Man recollected any shards of these blown gems to give any workers that were ready to ship them for trading. This would leave a lone Zavok glancing at the very machine he once used to almost drain the world, pondering at where to go next now that it's original destructive purpose was undone completely. While he is glad that his home is safe, the remorseful red Yeti still haven't forgotten his sin of almost dooming the Earth because of what Eggman done to him and his allies that time ago. He feels that it's better to move forward to a better future for the Lost Hex if he can just simply destroy the machine so it can never be
used to harm millions again and truly move on from the past. Zavok would eventually be surprised to see Shadow sitting next to him silently as if he had used Chaos Control to reach his location. The hedgehog is just as concerned over his inability to properly thank everyone in person for their help.

Taking a deep breath, he would eventually ask," Still unable to move on from the past?"

"You are wiser than you are for the Ultimate Lifeform. I wonder, if it will be easy for me to move on just like you did from your past," the Zeti leader replied.

"I really wish it were that simple. That infernal jackal dug up my worst memories with his illusions after aI had long put the past behind me. To make matters worse, I have a new purpose to protect Maria at all costs now that she is given a second chance at life. Nothing can be done I guess, these memories are all a part of us," Shadow solemnly said.

Zavok chuckled slightly to see that he is far from alone on his struggle of taking the past and putting it behind him.

"At least you did not try destroying this world because of how others treated you. I wonder if what we did truly ruined the reputation of the Lost Hex to others. If only it were that easy to fix my foolish mistake," Zavok said.

Shadow knew this is far from true since he was reminded by Rouge and other key members of what he had done before losing his memory since Biohazard's defeat. Knowing the truth did shock him, but he eventually learned that forgetting it was for the best and he had long moved on from being Gerald's pawn to exact revenge on humanity.

"All I will say is that you are not alone and we are more alike than you would think. We both have our own demons to suppress. You helped us save everyone's lives before we escaped the Legion's struggle, stopped RinRin's rampage from taking all of our ships down, and now did everything you could to help free your people from the Legion's forces. I believe all you did by far is enough to make you above your past actions. I could even send a report to GUN about this and they would likely hold a cease fire on ever touching the Lost Hex. But to defend it since you did say you barely survived the Black Arms would be an easy way to return the favor. Speaking of them, we would all have to be prepared for a second invasion knowing damn well that the Legion's magic gave them new life. Your people will be safe, our promise as allies," the hedgehog said sincerely.

The red Yeti leader would be surprised to hear that he's gotten this much support, even from the planet below in making sure all of his fellow Zeti will be safe moving forward despite not being a truly allied nation. This level of help would be more than appreciated after the Lost Hex and Zetikind were close to wiped off the face of the atmosphere with Eggman's cruel counterattack he launched. Unfortunately for him, many lives were lost and their bodies were respectfully buried in the heart of the Silent Forest to honor their noble sacrifices of protecting the world from turmoil. He was never one for being sad, but it truly felt like the weight was on his shoulders having to bear not being able to save most of the Zeti before Mecha Sonic's attack had transpired. The black hedgehog knew too well just how he felt as many soldier lives were lost on the most dangerous of missions he had served. This is why he feels strongly about protecting them and wanting to crush Infinite the next time they would ever meet.

"We are far from finished with our goal of crushing that fat fool. So we will not be staying here as it will defeat the purpose of our journey. Forget what I said a few days ago about it being our last travel as destroying that blue fake isn't satisfying enough," Zavok said.

Shadow smirks in response, feeling quite glad that this won't be the last he will hear of the The Deadly Six or their charismatic leader.

"Just had the feeling you would say that. Eggman is our main target and what we plan to do is stop him. This incident is only a reminder of what to expect if we all were to fail," he said.

His communication device however would be rumbling violently, which caught the attention of the alert hedgehog. Zavok gets up from his spot slowly to prepare for flying for his remaining members.

Shadow without haste answers the device, "This is Shadow. Who am I speaking with?"

"This is Vyse speaking, we are already here and I am amazed at how spotless The Lost Hex looks. If all of you helped fix up the floating continent, then this is a fantastic effort," the familiar voice said.

"It was far from an easy task, but our teamwork ensured us to return the favor. That was part of our deal with Zavok's group. So what part of the Lost Hex did you land in?" Shadow asks.

"The one with a bunch of Legion members that we will kick the butts of. They are not welcome here if attacking the continent was their plan. Glad you saved at least some baddies for us to defeat," the Blue Rogues captain replied.

Shadow had a bad feeling about what he said, knowing well it were the very Legion members they cured of the Phaeton infection.

"Listen, leave them be. They are not enemies but victims we cured from the corruption. You are only causing a…"

"Way ahead of you. We will make sure to secure them immediately after the scheduled butt kicking. Got it," Vyse replied.

He ends the message leaving the hedgehog frustrated at his reckless misunderstanding of the situation at hand. Zavok already sighs knowing they have bigger issues rot deal with.

"This is your ally after all. I'll grab the others soon and hope we can stop this," the red Zeti said in annoyance.

"Way ahead of you. It's ones like him with the thickest damn skull," Shadow said with his arms crossed.

He knew he had no choice but to prepare a Chaos Control to get to Windy Hill. Several of the cured Legion members would already be in the middle of being hurt and defeated by the Blue Marine Rogue Alliance that had already landed on the Lost Hex. Many of them had no will to fight back but were left with no way to explain nor defend themselves from the late heroes that saw them as responsible for the attack. Knuckles punched away waves of Nefarious droids and Murasame one with his powerful fists. Amy did a Hammer Spin to knock out the many Space Pirates that only wanted peace as Tails fired his Photon Gun at several Paratroopas. Mario stomps a few Hammer Bros and dive-bombed a Sledge Bro that did not want to fight. Fox gunned down the few Venom soldiers that wanted nothing to do with him thanks to his trusty blaster.

"You should had stayed back in Venom where you belonged, dogs of Andross," the vulpine fighter said mercilessly.

AiAi bowls over the countless enemies that were in his way alongside Billy with his largest egg.

"Alex Kidd, you join the fun. There's enough butt to kick over here," the chicken boy called.

The Radaxian prince would already be punching Rocket Grunt after Rocket Grunt with everything he had.

"Way ahead of you, they will be sorry for doing all they did here," he shouts.

"No, please, we didn't do anything wrong," one grunt said.

He is still on the receiving end of being shocked by Pikachu's high voltage Thunderjolt. Villager mischievously cuts down a massive tree atop the Sniper Joes and Tells that were trying to stop him. The weight of the trees alone severely crushed them, leaving the mayor to celebrate with the Shrunk Dance. Kirby would already be throwing his cutters as Cutter Kirby to cut down the many Mechon he could see and Joker using Arsene to kick away the many werewolves that approached him. Simon lashed his Vampire Killer at many Crimean mages and knights that only wanted to talk to him.

"Words will not stop us from seeing you as the enemy. Die, Legion," the Belmont warrior shouts.

Black Hole soldiers were mercilessly shot down by Jake Wade and Micheal Ford's guns and Mushiking is busy sending Alpha Gang goons skyward with his horn. Astal blew away countless Legion sources with his powerful winds from his mouth, a few airborne foes being kicked by Bug and Tempo respectively. Banjo used Kazooie to shoot various Blue Eggs at the few Prop-Tops and Metaurs that were too afraid to fight back.

"Hmm, doesn't it seem strange that these guys aren't fighting at all. This seems too easy," the bear asks.

"If easy you mean acting as bait, yes. Not to mention the fencing, these fodder wouldn't barricade themselves without a reason," the Breegull replies.

"It doesn't matter, we have them right where we needed them. Don't stop until all of them fall!" Vyse ordered.

The captain rushed down to join his Vice Captains in fending off the few Black Sugar Pirates that did want to steal from them. Donkey Kong punched a Koopa hard enough for him to be sent flying beyond the massive windmills in this town. Another would be launched just as fast by a Falcon Punch done by Port Town's famous bounty hunter. Sam Fired fired his ARS gun in various directions to stop the Darknuts and Moblins that only wanted to stop him.

"Keep going Marines, we will stop these cretins from ever harming the innocents again," he called.

Temjin stomps around with his blade ready if it means threatening his smaller targets to think about leaving this area. Some obediently decided to make a run for it since fighting a powerful mecha this huge wasn't worth the risk. Takamaru fired waves of Windmill Shirkukens at a wave of pops as Saki fired his Dolphin at many that tried to stop his ally. Waluigi is already mercilessly stomping one Koopa into the ground with his powerful feet, Tingle using his fairy magic to cause various goons to be tripping all over the place.

"Limpah! Consider this a lesson to not want Tingle's beloved maps," the green wearing mapmaker said.

Big whips around an Elite Pirate he caught with his fishing pole with Sonic already bouncing on several books with his endless Homing Attacks. He follows up with a few kicks and punches to the few goons that tried to defend their allies.

"You're too slow. Just give up and realize that we will stop you all from hurting these Zeti anymore," Sonic said with a smug grin.

"Stop! You all are causing quite a mess. They all mean no harm anymore," a voice called.

Vectorman would pay no mind and prepare to attack a few Space Pirates before him. It wouldn't be until he feels himself suddenly not responding as if a magnetic force is holding him from attacking any further. This would soon affect other mechanical allies like Duke Oda, Galacta, R.O.B., Omochao, and Scooter from doing any more harm. Even the gigantic Temjin would be struggling from moving nor attacking, this being the hardest for the Zeti group form holding still. Seeing this happen to their allies would cause almost every Marine and New Blue Rogue from stopping what they are doing completely.

"What's the hold up Scooter, use your blaster already," J.J. said.

"Come on, Vectorman, you know than to let the enemy control you," Sakura said.

It wouldn't be until they could see that many Zeti civilians that were disturbed by the chaos would step in to control their mechanical allies from attacking at all costs. This is a sight no one would really expect at all, nonetheless from the very people they wanted to protected. Even high tech weaponry that those like Captain Falcon and Ford used would be completely frozen as if they didn't want to work for their owners. The mayor of Windy Hill is less than happy to see that the victims their heroes saved are being harmed by their own allies. Vyse lost any will to fight anymore and wanted nothing more than negotiating with the locales.

"Why are you holding our mechanical allies and weapons hostage? These are very evil people that attacked your home and we are only doing our job," he said.

"Yeah, it isn't like you all to suddenly protect your own enemies. Where's Zavok when you need him?" Sonic wondered.

"Even our heroes specifically ordered us not to attack them for a reason. We were all just like you, blinded by the hatred of what they did to us. But realized that they were the victims of their own leaders' sadism and lack of empathy for their suffering. They were all cured of a blue disease that affected our people, the least you all can do is have some shame," Zind said, furious and disappointed at the same time.

Samus had a feeling what this blue disease was and knew that Ridley and Dark Samus were once again messing with a material they had no idea would wipe many lives off of any planet. The Galactic Federation bounty hunter knew to stand down knowing well just how many innocents and enemies alike suffered from Phazon corruption.

"They have a point, let us not attack them anymore. We all knew how much hell corruption is and we are no better than the Legion by hurting the very enemies our allies had saved," she said silently despite being under the Zeti's control.

Shadow finally warped to the scene, disappointed and not surprised that everything happened too late.

"You all know better than this. They used to be our enemy, but even they refuse to see the Legion as one of them anymore. The least you all should do is heal everyone you hurt and especially rebuild the robots you all damaged. Mega Man would be absolutely horrified if he seen this with his own eyes," the serious hedgehog said.

An angry Shadow is quite the rare right for some, especially ones who knew him well enough to never be on his bad side. Sonic in particular would feel guilty that he he kicked down enough goons who suffered enough because of their former leaders' meddling that almost gotten them killed.

"I could heal most of them, but it may require more moonberries to replenish my silver magic," Fina said sadly.

"Don't forget that you have enough healers with you, you never have to carry the burden," Noah said with Amy and Paluetna beside him.

"Allow me to help rebuild the robots. I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions and it's the least I can do to help these robots," Tails said before flying to a broken Sniper Joe.

Zind ordered his fellow Zeti to let go of their electromagnetic pull under the impression that no one else will fight. Sam breathes now that he could finally move his special suit again. Almost everyone would soon lower their weapons upon hearing the reason the former Legion were behind these gates and why hurting them should have never happened. Shiva in particular feels like a hypocrite as they were just like him, also finished with the Legion for similar reasons yet he joined in on attacking them. Kawasaki as the chef of heart would provide each healing or hurt grunt with their own plate of food to give them the strength they need for the future. He is happy to feed anyone, whether they are friend or foe if it exercises his love of the culinary arts.

"Enjoy your meals everyone, my buddies are truly sorry for what we all did to you all. Just let this meal be a peace offering for years to come," he announced as he passed each meal.

They all wasted no time feasting on the hot meals while they could and kept their minds off the unwarranted beatings they received.

"Now that you are here and we know what is really going on, where are the rest of your crewmates?" Vyse asked Shadow.

"They are still helping fixing the Lost Hex. I'll retrieve them all when they are more than ready. Leaving here by sundown is our goal if you all want to reach Valua in time. These Zeti are more than fine, safe even thanks to what we all done," the hedgehog replied.

"What about that college couple that's been slowing you all down? Their antics sure are amusing," Kazooie said smugly.

"Kazoooie!" her bear partner shouts.

"I was wondering the same thing. It was dangerous enough to a bring them to a place like this," Mario said.

Shadow did not know how to answer this question given they broken up in the heat of the conflict here along with seeing other people. Even he couldn't give a simple answer or know what broke them up initially despite their clear teamwork when training. This was on top of the deal he made with Team Rocket to have the two train under them if this alliance would be temporary.

"We've made a deal with the infected, or more one of the groups infected that they would be the ones to train both of them into better spies. Mostly due to their lack of good impressions on their first real infiltration mission involving them," he explains calmly.

Several of the heroes didn't like how vague Shadow was with this answer, growing more curious about the safety of them. Amy and especially Gear were more than curious when the Outrun Bay stowaways were one of the few people they risked their neck to protect that long ago.

"Just who are they and what is the name of the group," the pink hedgehog asks.

Off in the underwater tunnels of Tropical Coast would be a romantic walk between Bianca and Derrick who would enjoy their break from Team Rocket training for their last day on the Lost Hex. The couple would be happy to at least receive a break from the brutal training and body work to meet the standards of the average Rocket Grunt and take the time to relax their bodies. They had little time to change their attire but didn't mind since it was only the two of them not needing to meet the standards of their superiors. The violet haired girl is blush brightly as a tomato to be holding the brown haired boy's hand, him saving face despite the clear hotness of his own face in shyness. They felt quite happy to be enjoying what they could as the first humans enjoying a highlight of the Lost Hex's own crown jewel. They could see the various tropical fish of many kinds swim by as well as Ecco herding around a pack of sharks in his shark form. The colorful coral illuminates the vast ocean that makes up the beauty of Tropical Coast, feeling like natural underwater diamonds that sparkle in a rainbow of colors. The female Grunt would be kind enough to look her man in the eyes with the courage she had with the warmest smile. He is just as happy that things were going so well between them unlike his last relationship that he never missed. But one thing on his mind is what she is doing now that she is on her own and not with a guy that she can boss around easily.

"Still thinking about her?" Bianca asks.

What follows would be Derrick looking coy as if she's not catching on any hints of suspicion for this perfect date. But she knew too well how others feel for someone who ions't good at experiencing herself well as others.

"I am wondering what she is doing, but I wouldn't care less about that fussbox. She was nothing more than a thorn in my side, we only gotten dragged into this mess because she owed a favor for that witch girl who is a part of our group. We were better off staying home and not getting involved in something that may be too dangerous for all of us," he explains.

Bianca at least feel relieved that her suspicions were more than true, feeling quite satisfied with the answer she received.

"But that would had mean we would had never met. You may not be skilled or strong, but so am I. Training together is what's motivating me to be better since no one respects me for being new. I am considered the least dependable grunt to the point that even our admin wants me to personally sent elsewhere instead of sticking around. Being with you makes me feel like myself and want to grow more confident in my abilities. We are alike in more ways than one," she said with a smile.

Derrick knew what she said was very true as she would had been nothing more than an enemy had they saw one another without context while still together with Britney in the war the heroes have planned with the Legion. He couldn't bear to think of how sad it would be to fight her, let alone think of ending her life under the orders of his own allies. He loved Britney for quite a long time that it feels different to be with another woman than her. Though he does agree that someone who cares more about her adventurous streak and gets mad over the littlest misunderstandings is someone who isn't worth dating anymore. He still feel she owes him an apology for that last outburst, even if she is the one who wanted to cut the relationship short.

"And to be honest, I do not really want to feel anything for her unless she apologizes to me. What I did to you was an accident and I was protecting her from that snow cricket. The least she could had did was thank me or even show some appreciation for the fact that I wanted to be her shield before those pocket monsters attacked. And if this is how she repays me, then to hell with her. It is her fault that we almost died twice. I still won't forget her spitting on that rhino guy that almost killed us twice after they kidnapped us during the Sonic raid. She acts brave, but in a reckless way that lacks thought. At least with you, being more careful is in your best interest. Plus you are easy to talk to while she's too headstrong. You are probably someone I would prefer going to college with than her," Derrick replies harshly.

Bianca could understandably agree that often times it feels like the two had a relationship that was never going to work. But overall, she is glad that Brittany is out of the equation if it means spending more time with someone that makes her a better person.

"What was it like where you lived? Was it always sunny and beautiful where you were?" she asks.

"Mostly. Living on the West Coast isn't very easy when you still have to deal with monsoons and hurricanes at the worst times. But besides that, Outrun Bay is a very nice place for summertime fun. The drag races, the hot sand, the cool water, breeze, all perfect ingredients for a fun time. But what about you? Do you like the beach?" Derrick asks.

He of course had his mind run to the wrong place after that question, thinking about her outstanding chest. He knew that it was best to act like a gentleman around her and tried his best not to think about her on a sunny beach day. Bianca would be blushing quite a bit as she is not one to go to beaches herself. It was more a financial issue as her family often times rarely get her proper funding for going on or education. This was more her reason for turning for a life of crime if it means getting the money she needs even if it risks her ability to live a normal life. Her embarrassing secret of not having the money for proper clothing isn't worth admitting as she could tell he isn't one ton hide his dirty thoughts too well.

"To tell you the truth, I've always wanted to go there. But my family never had the time or money for me. It was always me taking care of the house while they are gone and barely making enough money to keep our home afloat. That was why I decided to run away, join Team Rocket in hopes that being useful to them will guarantee enough pay to help my family. They wouldn't approve of what I'm doing, which is why I have nowhere to go. They'll probably not consider me their daughter anymore for doing something illegal even if it helps us. Even I don't think your family would want us to be together," she said sadly.

This is when he had the feeling that her life is rough if she of all people only joined the likes of Team Rocket to get money that even her own family can't afford. Being a man kind at heart, Derrick wanted to make it up to he in a way that benefits her despite her current criminal background. Nevermind the fact that he is now associated with said criminals if it means getting stronger and better as a spy in the near future.

"How about this? We can all go to a beach together, just you and me. I would say today, but we will likely leave soon once the rest of our allies arrive here. Maybe when this is all over. I'm unsure if this Valua country has any beaches worth visiting. But consider this a promise, to an amazing girl I am happy to call my partner," he said with a warm smile.

The Rocket Grunt would be more than happy with his words, no longer containing her happiness that someone will grant her a wish she always wanted.

"Yes, I would be happy to spend a day in the beach with you. You're the best Derrick!" she said before hugging him.

This surprised the college boy a lot as this partially reminded him of his ex's usual clinginess. But this time he started to feel welcome and warm by this embrace since it's with someone he considers miles better than Britney. He hugs her back in a warm manner just to show that he's genuine about the very promise he swear to make for his new partner in-crime. It wasn't until he picked up an echolocation sonar that entered his mind intrusively.

I see the two of you are happy to be mates. But what happened to the other girl?.

It would be Ecco who's watching them in the sea from outside the underwater tube after finishing his job. The good feeling is gone since someone had to interrupt their only heart to heart just for another missing ally. Brittany however would be hugging him tighter out of fear since this sudden telepathy frightened her enough to squeeze her partner's body.

"Waaaaaaaah! Did a Psychic Type seriously have to interrupt us? Or was it a ghost!" she beamed.

Derrick gasps for air since she was crushing him with this strength even if Ecco's interruption was unexpected.

"How about you swim back to the pod, snorky! Can't you see that Bianca and I are having a good moment? I haven't seen Brit all day and I would care less with how she treated me," he called.

The dolphin shakes his head sadly as he was only curious when the two were always close together aboard the World Destruction Committee's ship.

She was your former mate and your ally. Aren't you the slighted concerned for her? Because you both did agree to join our group together as a team. These are the captain's orders to regroup back to the ship. My sonar picked up massive readings of two ships. One of them are easily our Blue Rogues allies and another is an unrelated party.

He wondered just what he meant on the unrelated party part as it wasn't like the New Blue Rogues too simply ally with new people. Bianca wondered if this means that Derrick won't stay with her any longer, feeling slightly down about this revelation.

"I know, just let us enjoy ourselves. I'm sure Britney can take care of herself since she won't be needing me anywhere. Just go report to the others that we are on our way," Derrick replied.

The dolphin had little patience to deal with his scorn with someone he was one close to, often considering that humans are truly a complicated species to communicate with. It wasn't until his sonar would pick up something unnatural. Almost as if something of supernatural original not of this world is appearing on the Lost Hex. He felt a similar presence when it came to Bayonetta in Outrun Bay when they've fought the Vortex Queen. But this one felt very sinister and came in immense amounts of readings that his own dolphin senses couldn't comprehend.

I suggest you go now while you can. That witch is back, but she brought more friends with her. No one knows if they are foes or friend. Just look for your former mate while you can.

"Sure, we shouldn't be worried when all she ever cared about was doing a favor for this witch. The fact that she's bringing more of those demons only prove that she can't be trusted. But why would she be summoning them unless we have a new foe that knew we stopped Eggman's plot," Derrick replied to the dolphin.

Confused and scared, the frightened Bianca didn't know what to fear more, the fact a dolphin is talking to them with their sonar or the fact demons are actually on their way to the island.

"How is that dolphin talking to us? Is its a Psychic Type too?" the she asks while hugging Derrick tighter.

"I don't really know, I've always thought he was a pet or something that Morte happens to taken from his home environment. But we are following orders from a black talking hedgehog and sexy walking bat to be frank," he replied frankly.

Ecco would only stare blankly in disappointment at the idea he is considered a pet and that these two didn't pay attention to him helping save their home from the Vortex Queen. His sonar also picks up a scene that is occurring many miles away, sounding close to that of a human woman around Derrick's age. He urgently sends another sonar signal to try communicating with the couple once more.

You both have to hurry. She is in grave danger. I doubt these demon friends are very friendly and could be dangerous as the Vortex aliens. I will signal the others in the meantime.

Derrick drops all doubts of his lac k of care in his ex, now growing more and more afraid of her well being. Bianca struggles at the idea of fainting from what she heard, but had to stay strong if it means impressing her new boyfriend. Seeing his dolphin ally win towards the surface would only alert him that it was time to do what he could as a Rocket Grunt trainee to take on what could be attacking Britney.

"Bianca, how fast can you run? Because we will have to end our date and help her. She may have wronged me, but I don't want her to be food to spawns from Hell. Let's get going," she said before tagging at her arm.

The two would be running the opposite way of the underwater tube to find their way out, with a reluctant Bianca trying her best to use her running strength. She is confused as she is willing to stick by his side even if it means approaching dangerous beings that could end her life. In the Silent Forest would be an alone, frightened Britney who is screaming with tears down her eyes at the very beings that slowly approached her. It would be the Tyrants in their glory who finally landed on the Lost Hex to find another soul for Lucifer's nourishment. It appeared a traveling incident happened that split everyone apart from each other, with the more loyal Tyrants landing with Lucifer leaving Bayonetta's closest allies, Fuma, Baal and his followers, the Hero, and Nastasia's group fully separated from them. Mara and Abandon would be vigorously licking their lips as if they haven't found their first victim in a while. Many Zeti witnesses would be too afraid to face these monsters as few have tried and were unfortunate victims that were slaughtered and fed to Lucifer in the process. Zanzibar knew too well that these beings were too strong and not to be trifled with when more lives will be lost if they sent more help. He wished there would be another way he could help if they weren't mostly spiritual manifestations of thought and Magastuhi that their electromagnetism can't control. Tzitzimitl chuckled in a sinister manner while Loki taken too much delight in how feared he was by this lone human.

"I don't know what you freaks are and how you gotten here. But please don't kill me. I don't believe in demons, this must be some strange dream I have having. Yes, this is simply delusion taking over my mind after too much training. I'll just try and wake up, this will be all over soon," she panicked in a mixture of denial and fear for her death.

Surt couldn't help but to pity the sheer denial his prey is going through, Mithras would only laugh heavily at how embarrassingly weak Britney is for assuming things. Lucifer would only wait impatiently in his wheelchair as he had no time for his allies to stall on the process.

"We are real because you feeble creatures made us. Your fears, your darkness, and your beliefs are what shape our very bodies. In return, we feed on the fresh essence of your very weak bodies to nourish us. Souls, blood, innards, or even Magatsuhi. Your attempts at atheism is more sad, just denial that your race created your own worst nightmares," Astaroth said with his spear in hand, his servant hissing viciously at her from above.

"Not even your pathetic God can save you since he is dead. He was long dead since our leader Lucifer had long destroyed him, while the current Creator destroyed our leader in return to remove all traces of his Knowledge. Yet the Legion fools think they can simply revive him once more for their own use," Belial snarled.

"Just hold still and we will end your life quickly. Not like you humans have much to live with the Legion planning on wiping out this universe. We can and outlive what they plan to do. Resistance is not an option," Chi You said with all arms ready to attack.

Britney is unsure on what to really think about, as hearing the mention of the god she worships being dead came off as too much for her mind to process. She knew well that running is no option when one of the demons could teleport behind her and fighting back could very well mean the death of her when her training isn't on par with a demon. Her already witnessing the fates of the few Zeti already reminded her that these were monsters not meant to be dealt with without a plan. She prepares to take out her gun, hesitating to attack as it would only encourage the lumbering beasts to attack.

"Cute, the vixen think she has fangs. Perhaps she isn't very weak after all," Tzitzimitl said.

"It goes to show just why humans are the perfect prey. They always bluff when it's almost time for them to be devoured. Speaking of, we stalled about enough since I want to crunch her body into nothingness," Abbadon roared.

"Our master Lucifer has starved long enough, we should kill her along with the rest of these lesser demons that inhabit this world," Mithras said.

But what caught her eye about this sun god is that he looks vaguely human compared to the others, having a body fit for a hero straight out of a fantasy novel and bright red eyes comparable to the sun in space. Britney would realize that this is the same god worshiped by the Romans in early times before Catholicism taken over from her history class. Most notably for being born from a rock and killing a bull with a dagger just like his physical appearance describes. She thinks back to the time she would often seduce guys in Outrun Bay, thinking of a way she could convince him to stop attacking her. Her first tactic would be standing up and being more confident, a sudden move that initially confused the pursuing Tyrants on what her next move is. Mithras would keep his eye on her incase she had any funny business going on. Mara grew curious on what the human woman planned on going next as Abaddon gasps. Lucifer is less than patient on why his allies were suddenly not going through with claiming her soul. The first thing she would do is pose in a sensual manner, poking out her chest and giving a look of sultry. She tries her best to hold in all fear and give off that sexy feel to try charming these demons.

"Hey, you wouldn't want to kill a hottie like me? There's plenty to go around if you want some of this action," she says in a sultry manner.

This would leave Tzitzimitl less than pleased as she's a female demon and sees her as an annoyance that need a swift death. Mara is left speechless as a lust demon that knows he can do better than that. Astaroth only sighs as this human is nothing but a waste of time with such foolishness.

"You fool, you really are a lesser being if you think demons will ever fall for your charms! My flames should smolder you into nothingness right now!" an annoyed Surt roars.

"Just because that Egyptian fool Khonsu fell for a human doesn't mean we will. You are only an insignificant speck that deserves to be reduced to a pool of blood and Magatsuhi where you stand!" Chi You yells.

Mithras however would be filling with anger when hearing his name. Mostly due to the whole Sun God stone being rightfully taken from him and Asura by The Creator who was sent by Amon, who in turn happened to be the father of Khonsu, and the stone is in his possession.

"Damn him, I never want to hear about that moon brat again! I deserve to be a sun god more than him. I would still be worshipped with followers if it weren't for the former Creator stealing my worshippers. This makes me very angry," the displeased god of Mithraism said in anger.

He clutched his dagger tightly and gripped the very stone he's born from harder than usual.

"Here we go again, you had to bring up that god again. You know how well Mithras wanted to be ascended into godhood. I'll never forgive him for killing me. Just the thought my trunk was wasted on the Fairy Forest was foul," Girimehkala said.

"That fool also stopped the forces of Chaos from beating Bethel. We will find a way to put an end to him, but he's far stronger than all of us combined as the new Creator," Surt said in disgust.

"I have no memory of these events. Is this Creator truly a bigger threat than the God we are stopping from being revived?" Astaroth said.

"You don't remember because you weren't fused. Your other half Ishtar was there on the front lines, with Ashtar being hard to find until recently. It was a great decision to fuse you once more since you were more reliable than her," Surt replied.

"I really wish that Creator was devoured and chewed up like it was nothing. If only Lucifer still had God's Knowledge, he would be the one to defeat him," Abaddon snarls.

"I don't want to entertain the idea of ever having the Creator's Knowledge again. Engaging with the Creator shouldn't be in our best interests, yet it was the fault of the witch for enraging them. We should take whatever souls we need and leave while we can. The army of Law has eyes everywhere," Lucifer warned.

"Right, Lord Lucifer. Now where is that witch? I have some choice of words for her getting us in that mess," Tzitzimitl.

"Doesn't matter, I say we ditch her and convince Demi-Fiend to do the same. Now where the hell is he?" Belial wondered.

"You all should be wondering where our prey went since she already had left while we dwelled on that foolish Creator," Chi You shouts.

The Tyrants would soon notice that Britney already left under their noses with little trace of her appearance. It seems even the hiding Zeti are also gone as well thanks to their stealthy adaption to the Silent Forest. Lucifer would only grimace at the sheer incompetence of his own demon allies, gripping on the both armrests of his wheelchair.

"Get them! Grab every soul you can, especially since that witch can't be here to stop me from getting whole again!" he shouts.

His demon allies already disappears from his site if it means searching the entire land for their prey or possibly new ones. It seems the everlasting peace of the Lost Hex will soon evolve into more chaos. Britney us already being carried by the few tribal Zeti that grabbed her in time to try taking her to safer grounds. Leaping from tree to tree, there were just as silent as the forest itself to avoid being seen. They swore to owe their lives to the heroes that helped protect their land at all costs, even if it means endangering themselves once more. It wasn't until Mara reappears directly in front of the leaping Zeti to surprise them, blades on his chariot ready to dice them.

"Gwahahaa, you lesser demons know that we can't be beat. Even me!" the phallic demon gloats.

Zanzibar would be shocked by the sudden appearance and tries to slow down with Britney in his hands. It wouldn't be until the Ice Climbers appeared in the nick of time to summon a massive iceberg from below him. The massive mountain of frost pierced below Mara's neck and rapidly froze his body immensely. Being a hot fire demon meant his biggest weakness being cold to the point of his figure shrinking.

"We had the feeling some demons chased Bayonetta here, which is why we will stop them from doing any harm to the people here," Popo said.

"Just keep her safe, this big green seal will see how much he can take our bitter cold," Nana said with a wink.

Zanzibar smiles and ordered his tribe to keep leaping g the other way to get out of Mara's sight. They were not alone as more ice would fully encase him at a flashing rate, this is due to Ramirez using his Silver Tundra to fully freeze the powerful demon while he could.

"Da…aaa….mnn…..yo…ouuuu…aaaalll…." Mara said slowly before his head is fully frozen.

The cold Valua commander had no time to play with demons like this one, wanting to fully immobilize him before he thought about doing any more harm.

"I was hoping she would bring some less dangerous allies like that human they've promised, but instead we get disgusting monsters like you that should be put out of their own misery. We know your weaknesses thanks to the intel the Marines and Silver had given us as they had a feeling demons were rising out of their realms to cause trouble. You and the Legion are worth stopping at all costs," he said.

The demon is too cold and frozen to make a single move since they wanted to keep him right where he is. The next demon that appears would be Abaddon with his massive mouth wide open to swallow the portion of the forest before Zanzibar and his tribe throughout about escaping. What he wouldn't notice is a massive storm enveloping above his head with enough dark clouds in one region to cover his massive body. This would be the work of Elec Man, Pikachu, Bug, and Phosphora teaming up to create the most positive charged lightning strike they could. The four were gathering as much high voltage surges into the cloud as possible to strike down on the gluttonous demon down below.

"Let's all send a shock into that blob of destruction down below, boys," the lightning goddess said.

While Abbadon is slowly swallowing all of the trees and wildlife in his everlasting maw to pursue Britney, little did he know would be the massive strike finally hitting his body. The powerful shock is bright enough to alert the remaining Tyrants that have yet to attack. The shocked demons would be Tzitzimitl and Chi You at the though their own demon brethren were falling one by one due to "weaker" beings that wouldn't even be a threat to powerful demon. The celestial goddess would be the first to appear close to Britney's tribal saviors as she had about enough of this. She angrily, reached all of her hairy hands from her head at them down below to stop them. It wouldn't be until Mario appears below them with the power of a Smash Ball already activated.

"It's a time for you a demons to be taught some manners. Mario Finale!" the plumber shouts before firing his powerful stream of spiraling flames.

The Final Smash would succeed in burning all eight of her hair appendages, causing the goddess to scream from feeling the intense flames burning her beautiful hair. She gives up her pursuit to try fanning the flames away with her main hands. It wouldn't be until Scooter, Vector, Satan, and Monster Flame Kirby appears above her to unleash their combined efforts of burning the ice demon altogether. Their intense flames alone would fully engulf her entire body, causing her to scream loud enough to get the attention of her ally Chi You.

"You pests really piss me off, how about I used these weapons of war to crush you all" the green ox demon shouts before lunging at them.

Roy, Ken, Robin, and Byleth all attacked with their strongest fire spells and skills to scorch the demon's entire body at once. His will to fight soon evolved into a will to survive as he's trying his best to stay cool. Surt had about enough and towered above everyone with his flaming sword ready to burn away the forest.

"Perhaps you ants should be smoldered into what you truly are. Charred dust insignificant to me!" he shouts.

Corrin, Aqua Man, Bubble Man, Dytto with Ali, and Chaos fired a massive jet of watery vortexes altogether in the fire giant's face to stop his attack. The coldness of the powerful waters eventual cooled his body to less intense levels and even made the flames of his infamous sword weaker than before. He grunts in pain of the liquid sizzling his mighty body heat into safer levels that no longer threatened the Silent Forest. He kneels in pain, struggling to standstill any longer as his fearsome heat is no more of a threat to his enemies. Mithras would finally reveal himself with his fearsome eyes on the very heroes that dared attack his Tyrant allies, complete with his dagger in hand. The water and ice allies would soon focus their attention on their new rock born enemy that plans to burn them into crisp. He is the least afraid of them but also wondered how did they learn of his own weakness.

"How about you all feel the true wrath of a sun god, Hamabarion!" he shouts.

The two groups would soon see massive golden glyphs surrounding them in preparation of this deadly light attack. Ness and Lucas were the least worried since they wore Franklin Badges for this moment. Dragon Corrin hardly fears this devastating attack as he taken worse from his true father before in Valla. Kirby knew what to do as he switched within the copy ability bubbles within his stomach to find just the ability to help his allies. The attack would finally flash on their targets only to be reflected by magic warriors that appeared before them. This is the work of Mirror Kirby's various mirror abilities. The Mother duo's badges reflected the light blasts direct fly at Mithras, who is unaffected due to light being his very own element. The light still blinds his vision from what appears to be happening. He is soon attacked with a flash freezing wave of water that completely consumed his entire body, even up to his own face that struggles to breathe.

"These pests are overcoming us with teamwork. Lucifer…." he said before the ice fully enveloped his face.

The completely frozen body of the demon dropped towards the forest floor in a heavy drop, barely missing the jungle Zeti and Britney down below. What they wouldn't expect is one of Lucifer's top commanders finally appearing atop his flying serpent with his spear out to eliminate the heroes below.

"First you protect the very souls our master needs and now you disrespect my allies. Only death awaits the very weak beings that think they are better than a demon!" Astaroth called.

Loki also appears with a mischievous smile to give his new enemies trouble.

"Care to dance to death? This is why I am called the god of mischief," he sneered.

Palutena knew it was her time to shine as one of the few light users here.

"Let us not forget that dark beings are always frail to light, as I will demonstrate now!" she said before tapping her staff.

Loki dodged the light beam that narrowly attacked him, then nearly evades the fully charged PK Flash that Ness had prepared for him.

"Ziodyne!" he shouts before firing powerful lightning strikes at the heroes.

Some were tough enough to withstand these strikes and others were less that fortunate. Pikachu made sure to absorb this extra electricity just in case he would need it for later. Pit activated his Guardian Orbitars in time to reflect the bolts in various directions, and Mario became Vanishing Mario to become completely intangible.

"If only Watt were here to a light him away. That Lil Sparky was always one of my favorite a parters," he said.

Loki smirks as he had little time to toy with his food any longer, preparing another one of his deadlier attacks.

"Bufudyne!" he said before casting a powerful blizzard attack that affects the area.

Ike used the power of his Azure Flames to subdue the blizzard the best he could leading Byleth to launch a powerful Failnaught shot the god. Astaroth flew down in time to support his ally by deflecting the arrow.

"Don't forget that you are dealing with one of the elite demons. Unlike that fool who's too busy trying to become a god again. Beelzebub is foolish for thinking he can leave us," he said.

Palutena launched another series of light pillars at Loki once more, Astaroth taking these hits as he is one of the few dark demons that can't be hurt by light.

"In case you've forgotten, I have no weaknesses unlike my peers, making me fit to be Lucifer's best commanding officer for Chaos. Maybe it is time you all felt my true power. Hades Blast!" the powering demon lord said.

"Everyone, activate your shields!" Marth ordered.

Most of the Smash Brothers obeyed by following exactly what they were taught, generating powerful bubble shields that can only absorb damage. Althogh they can shrink overtime and can cause the user to be stunned if they are broken by a truly strong attack. Noah however casts the shields for all of his Marine and Sega Superstars allies as they didn't have the same training their Smash allies had. Soon he finally unleashed a powerful blast of demonic energy that leveled most of the Silent Forest in one powerful wave. While not as strong as Lucifer's, the Hades Blast of Astaroth is still a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately for the heroes, this attack was strong enough to overpower their shields, many broken and others completely depowered. Loki laughs maniacally at how little they stood a chance against his powerful ally and commander. This would soon result in every Marine, Blue Rogue, and Smash Brother now collapsed or on their knees in a defenceless state to be defeated. To see his own magic overpowered by a superior being was astonishing to Noah as he had little way to overcome the might of Astaroth. Loki could only watch the sad state of his fallen enemies in bliss while mocking their inability to best him.

"Silver was right, these guys are too strong. I can believe what he says about them ruling the world in our future like he warned us," Sonic said while kneeling.

"That one is different from the others. We knew he had no weaknesses, but for him to be proven this powerful. It's hard to believe," Sam said with his damaged helmet.

"Where the hell is that witch when you need her? The fact they found us is alarming and she must be busy dancing or somethin'" Toejam said on his feet.

Loki continues to laugh at the sad state of his weaker enemies with how much damage Astaroth's power overwhelmed them all. The masked demon warrior spins his spear once more flawlessly with his eyes looking down on how little they posed a threat to him. His serpent steed hisses violently in aggression as if it's about time for him to feed on more Magatsuhi. Kyrie pants on his knees as he knew that this could be the end of the line for everyone here. Even he could tell his brave wife is on the verge of collapsing as if she had little strength left. To see someone more confident than him and a better fighter on her way to fall would only awaken something inside of him that he haven't felt in a long time. His heart thumps faster than his own rising fear and doubt about how he's failing to be of assistance to his own allies.

This is it. These demons will win and everything we did to save these people will be for nothing. He's too powerful and we are only inches away from being is food. I wasn't of help in fighting Metal Sonic and instead cowered most of the time. This was a downgrade if being of help during the Sonic saving mission. I wish I was at my full strength. Like when I've defeated my mother that created everything in the world. Destruct Code. Give me that power, I need it more than ever. For me, for my fiancé, for everyone that's in danger world wide. I need it NOW!

Loki would stop laughing immediately once he feels a rising pressure that's coming from the crowd. This pressure almost feels like that of a demon that's growing in strength or one they just happened to miss.

"What? One of them appears to be getting stronger, almost indefinitely," he said.

Astaroth also felt this rise in power, growing cautious if it's an angel that came for them once more. But this one didn't feel like anything that relates to Law's Army nor YHVH at all.

"The Creator is here? No, he would rarely come out of his throne for something little like this. Still, this power almost feels like it would rival him," he wondered.

His serpent hissed once more, growing more and more afraid than usual. The winged demon knew his own scaly mount wouldn't be this afraid and something is coming their way. Samus's scan visor readings were going haywire from the pressure she's feeling from this group and even Pit's divine sense could feel this person just could be ebyond that of anything he's fought. Kirby is too confused at what seems to be going on around him, Scooter also having difficulties with his own robotic scanner.

"We have a problem on top of another, what seems to be going on," the robot alien hunter said.

Lucario could sense the aura of something much more powerful than these demons and the source is rather nearby. He turns with his eyes closed and still sensing it only to see the glowing yellow aura of an ally he wouldn't expect.

"So that is what you mean by that Kyrie guy being the trump card. He finally awakens his true power," the jackal said calmly.

Morte smirks knowing well that these demons will know first hand just how powerful her fiancé was.

"You two demons will be destroyed, the destroyer of our world is finally here to whip you both in shape. Go get em, honey," she said weakly.

"You really weren't kidding around, I can feel his power even surpassing that of the emeralds. This feels all unreal," Knuckles said in surprise.

"I can confirm, this young man is on a whole new level even compared to Hades. At least we can rest easy knowing we have a way to defeat him again," Palutena said.

Cappy hides in Mario's cap once more since the forces were too powerful. The plumber keeps his eye on the glowing man to see what would happen next. Once striking difference is that his hair changes from blonde to a dark red to match his new godly form. His once wimpy and peaceful nature is now that of a wrathful being of responsibility as Silver could tell from his aura. He never seen anything like this before, even if he knew that Kyrie somehow died in his future.

"This is my first time experiencing this power. Perhaps the chances of you all failing isn't as likely as it seems," the futuristic hedgehog said.

"But let us not get our hopes up yet, we are far from done with our mission. We'll have to see if this will be more than enough to stop the Legion in the present," Blaze replied.

"Even the power I had to defeat Giygas isn't close to this. Let's hope this will be enough to stop all of these demons," Ness said in shock.

Kyrie's body would begin rising above everyone else at a great enough height. The perfect height to look down on the very targets that he wants to destroy. Even the other weakened demons like Surt and Tzitzimitl were growing very afraid of the the idea of risking their lives against this new threat that draws their own power.

"We have to run, now. He isn't not worth risking your essence for," Chi You said while slowly lifting his charred body.

The first thing they would see would be Mithras blown out of the sky with a powerful blast. This is the result of Kyrie's most casual Blood Skill, as he's willing to use less of his power to risk destroying anything. He opens his eyes, now a green eyed glare that strikes fear in the hearts of all demons except Astaroth who is the least afraid. He is now beyond angry at what they all done to nearly threaten his allies, but most importantly Morte.

"Unless you demonic pests value your own lives, get out of here now. There will be little mercy for beings that will take over our world. My world. Your friend there only taken my "weakest" attack and anything more would have destroyed his body completely, or even reduced him to mere sand. You are talking to the man who destroyed this world before. I even fell my own mother who is more powerful than all of you combined," he shouts.

Mithras already gasps violently from that attack upon landing on the ground, feeling way too much pain that made his own form unstable. Snake is beyond surprised at this power as it wouldn't be wise to get in his way. Mario drops his jaw at just how much power Kyrie has to frighten even the powerful demons they've fought. Even sonic couldn't process whether this is all a dream or just reality that is happening before his eyes.

"Kyrie, are you sure this is you?" he asks.

The red haired god turned his head to face the curious hedgehog that asks him this question. He would respond with a lighthearted thumbs up to show that this is really him, the real him that isn't suppressed in a human form. Morte smiles once more knowing well that her man is still himself no matter what form he takes before her eyes.

"So this is the Destruct Code in all its glory. It makes complete sense why your group is called the World Destruction Committee. To see this power first hand gives me a good feeling over our alliance," Sam said once more.

"But whether he is a danger or an ally remains to be seen. You never know how unpredictable gods can be," Astal said.

"Speak for yourself, gem genie," Jake Wade said.

Lucifer finally rolls his way on the scene wondering what would be taking so long. Silver would glance at the old man, feeling an immense age as if he could recognize him.

"You, the one who helped ruined my future like the Legion. I had the feeling you would show up in the flesh!" the young hedgehog shouts before grabbing him telekinetically.

The old man couldn't defend himself as his body now glows cyan as a result of Silver's power and is bring dragged straight into the air. The demon king knew well that without his full strength, he can not break free from the futuristic hedgehog's power in any way.

"Woah, Silver! That is a senior citizen! You know that's unlike you to hurt the old!" Sonic beamed.

"Put him down, I doubt that is this demon lord that you are looking for," Marth ordered.

"That is him, it's Lucifer. He can take a variety of forms to trick and manipulate anyone. The fact you all are falling for his old man act shows how good he is at manipulation," Silver shouts.

Lucifer gasps for air as the psychokinetic power fully binds his body from any control or communication. Girimehkala jumps in the way of Silver to give him the worst diseases imaginable with his stare. However the elephant demon would feel himself getting drastically weaker to the point of dropping to his knees. This is because Kyrie is using his power to drain his own essence to weaken him. Silver is thankful that he was saved from suffering a fate that would endanger him. Mara viciously leaps at Kyrie to attempt stoping him from harming his ally.

"You shall be climaxing straight to the depths of hell for that!" the penile demon roared.

Kyrie responds with a powerful slash with his knife, causing an explosion of blood and Magatsuhi to erupt from the wounded demon's body. Mara lost almost all will to fight after this devastating attack, groaning with the little life he had left. This sight disturbed all demons and even the restrained Lucifer who didn't take him lightly.

So this is his true power. I will have to get my full strength back if I will ever stand up to this young man. All more of a reason why we need to escape here with our lives than attempting to ally with these misled fools. Me taking over this world is inevitable no matter what time it is. But that one from the future will have unhand me unless he will think about stopping the Legion pests from bringing back our natural enemy God.

"I've seen just about enough, as Chaos's commander I will send you straight to the very depths of Hell for harming my fellow demons!" Astaroth shouts before his serpent bucks with a screech.

The fallen Mara still remain on the ground slowly bleeding from his wounds. Kyrie finally release Girimehkala to watch the fat elephant demon collapse from losing most of his life. He already saw Astaroth lunging for him with his best weapon ready to attack.

"Take this fight out of the forest! We've just fixed the Lost Hex!" Zavok called.

Kyrie knew too well what he meant and flew high beyond the treetops at a blinding speed. Astaroth follows him instantly to care less about the weaker foes he already crippled with his power. It wouldn't be until Lucifuge appears just to see the state his fellow demons and Lucifer were in, shocked at juts how hostile these supposed allies Bayonetta talked about were.

"What is the meaning of this? Master Lucifer, why are these fools attacking you?" he demanded.

Fuse Man however attacks him immediately with his Scramble Thunder, causing the demon minister to roar in pain from the attack.

"There he is, Lucifer's number one bootlicker. Let's send as many volts upon him as possible!" he ordered.

Cloud Man and Sheep Man joins along to attack with their thunder cloud weapons at all costs, and Phosphora shooting her strongest bolts at him. Pikachu unleashed as many volts as possible with his strongest Thunder to attack the shocked demon minister from above. Lucifer couldn't bear to see more of his fellow demons harmed, struggling to try breaking from Silver's telekinesis.

"Sto...op it now. We only came for your help to get payback on the Le..gion. They ruined the He...ll Meeting...almost destroyed Hell…and were the reason I've lost most of my power. Souls are what I need to regain this strength and they are scarce...with so few of them to feed on in my domain…Trust...me," he begs.

For the demon lord, Lucifer would not once ever think of begging anyone. Not even his request to have the new Creator destroy him was this desperate. Silver had little patience to trust the weakened fallen angel or his words, feeling they were just lies for him to stab them all in the back.

"After you killed some of my people, forget it. Only death is what you deserve. Maybe the world will be a better place without you and your demon brethren if what our future traveler say is true. You and the Legion deserve to burn," Zavok said coldly.

Lucifuge finally collapses with one hand on the ground and his satanic grimoire still intact. He is surprised that anyone weaker than him ever bested him through his weakness alone.

"You all don't understand, there needs to be a balance in life. This world needs demons as much as it needs angels. If you think the angels would be your friends, then you would be wrong. They attacked us and almost killed your demon friends like that dead rabbit and witch all because they wanted to know that there is a new Creator that acts in place of your God. YHVH was always your God to begin with and he wasn't the kind loving soul you mortals know him for," he uttered.

This would soon lower the guards of all heroes, shocking them beyond relief. Even Silver refuses to believe this as there was no God in his future because of what the demons did, still holding Lucifer where he needs to. Vyse shakes his head knowing Bayonetta gotten herself in trouble with more angels outside of Balder's army once more. While Hardy and Janet were pleased to hear that Ash survived, they still felt his foul mouth and hothead gotten everyone in divine trouble. Sonic is very unsure how to grasp that the very being some worship was someone else all along or that this malevolent being Eggman wanted to summon was the real God all along who never shown his true intentions to his believers. Sam still had some questions for the demon king, but also didn't want to let him off the hook too easily.

"Alright, tell us everything you know about this current Creator," he said sternly.

Astaroth and Kyrie engage in a heated fight of cosmic proportions, each clash would part massive clouds in the sky or send powerful waves that frighten any nearby birds mid-flight. The red haired god mad sure to keep up with the speed of the demon commander's serpent that lunged at him or swiped its tail at the right moments. The next thing he would do is create countless replicas of his famed hunting knife and fires them in a storm of flying blades at his flying foe. Astaroth ordered his serpent to outmaneuver each and every one as fast as he could.

"You are strong, but lack the experience as a demon. I will show you exactly why I am considered one of Lucifer's best just like Beelzebub. Hades Blast!" he shouts.

He launched his infamous physical attack again hopes it would knock down the god that opposed him. Kyrie plows through the attack with sheer might and sliced at his serpent successfully. The flying beast roars from the attack as it sheds Magatsuhi and blood profusely. Astaroth knew now wasn't a time to take this lightly when he can't fly without his steed.

"Megidolan!" he shouts while attacking him with a wave of almighty magic.

The attack did successfully hit him, even erasing parts of his own body immediately. His right arm melts away along with his right eye, left chest, and right leg from the Mega attack. But what the demon commander did not count on is the Destruction Code within him making it possible to help him easily regenerate parts of his body back. Everything that once melted away is slowly rebuilding itself due to the greed flow of the godly power within him. The serpent riding demon grew angrier and angrier at the though his foe is extremely hard to kill very easily. Kyrie smugly grins after his face is fully reshaped the way it originally was.

"Is that the best you can do? How about I show you the true power of word destruction. There will be nothing left of you when I am through with you!" he said.

He would be gathering immense amounts of sand around his body in a whirling sandstorm that gathers as a result of his power. Astaroth grew cautious at what's about to come, calming his frightened serpent.

"Mors Certa" he said slowly, a massive wave of said sand fires at him.

He casts Luster Candy at the last moment if it gave him the defense and speed he needs to counter this attack. It would be proven ineffective as the sand even expands massively to make sure he didn't have the chance to fly away. The creature bellowed knowing that it were its final moments, Astaroth however knowing too well that there's no way out of this. The end result is a massive explosion and whirlwind of sand upon the destruction of the demon. This would be large enough to even get the attention of various travel planes and helicopters from kilometers away throughout the skies. However, it would also travel its way all the way to a plane of existence beyond that of our own, off in the Netherworlds, which Lucifer and other demons truly originated from.

But also in a relam beyond even those realms where the divine truly reign, the Empyrean. This is a sullen realm that was once the cite of a fight for the very throne left empty by YHVH's defeat. Various cubical structures all around to act as stands for the angels to stare down at those to be judged. With a spiraling opening at the very end leading to the very throne that houses the creator. The pathway towards the throne would have a series of turns although this is for security purposes to ensure that no one who isn't destined for godhood made it to the end easily. The four Archangels and Sandalphon have arrived just in time to greet their leader with the gift of one of their biggest enemies within their grasp. Demi-Fiend is still fully unconscious within the golden clutches of his angelic captor since his sacrifice, unable to feel the presence of where he is. The grace these five heralds had would be enough to get the attention of various Law aligned members of their holy court. Other than the abformentioned angels that were previously sent to search Japan for traitors, a variety of other familar dieties would be seen whon are considered Law's biggest allies. These would include Sraocha, Alilat, Maria, Melchizedek, Kazfiel, Aniel, Lailah, Victor, Israfel, Azreael, Mastema, Merkabah, Armaiti, Camael, Remiel, Tzaphkiel, Raguel, Ophanim, Kushiel, Sariel, Demeter, Yatagarasu, Zhuque, Thunderbird, Jatayu, Feng Huang, Valkyrie, Koppa Tengu, Apsaras, Agathion, Mandrake, Mishaguji, Anzu, Muu Shuwuu, Zhen, Onmoraki, Atlas, Brahman, Onkot, Phoenix, Tengu, Ifrit, Kirin, Kwancha, and Kinnari. The lawful demons would watch as their superiors float their way towards the stairs leading to their graceful leader in the heavens. The sorrowful three legged crow knew too well that his partner was captured and had no choice but to follow the rules of his Creator instead of helping him out in anyway. The small harvest goddess grew curious at the demonic boy that's in Sandalphon's hand as if something about him felt familiar. As one of the more loyal Law demons, she knew it was best to respect the Heralds at all cost as they are the main reporters to the god of this realm. Demi-Fiend soon slowly opened his eyes just to see that he's far from the real world anymore, but back in another form of the Netherworld once more. He knew well that this wasn't the Hall of Chaos that he rules, but another realm ruled by someone he helped kill with Lucifer's help.

So this is the Empyrean. But why would these angels drag me here of all places? Is this where the new Creator lives that Okuninushi implied? Not that I have a choice since there's no escaping these angels at the strength I'm in.

Sandalphon looked with his blue eyes on the awakened demon he held for long. Demi-Fiend is aware that as long as he's watched and held, there is no chance for him to make a run for it at all. Metatron's brother is one of the wisest of the Heralds, only behind his arbiter brother who is considered closer to God than all angels under his command.

"Thou better not think of escaping this domain. Thy demonic grace is integral for our Creator to judge the immeasurable sins of thine. Hither the Empyrean, reigns beyond the heavens and planes that only the divine art capable to traverse these sacred lands. Behest not to think of any foul tricks while thee is within our grasp," Sandalphon said in his menacing mechanical voice.

"Reasoning with the demon? Lord knows the Chaos King isn't worth reasoning with mere words. We shalt have opted to destroy him instead," Micheal said.

"Calm thyself Micheal, trust the kin of thy superior Metatron. He hast good reasons to keep the Morning Star's formerly human lamb in our grasp," Gabriel said.

"All sinners must face thy Creator's grace to be judged for all sins. To have the one that fought thou current Lord and former Lord is a price worth deliverance," Uriel said calmly.

"But most importantly, killing some of thy messenger angels in Japan. They had their reasons when the Kunitsu Kami were foolish enough to tell outsiders and demons about our Creator's status. More humans praying to our Lord in silence is what gives him and us thine strength," Raphael said passionately.

Ahead of them would be several Dominions and Thrones that guard the stairs towards the very throne their Creator resides. The presence of the larger powerful angels approaching them would cause the lesser angels to bow down to the grace of their superiors.

"Hallelulah!" they said in unison to greet the Heralds.

Sandalphon nods in approval of their worship while also keeping his eye on the aware demon in his hand. Demi-Fiend could tell several angels near the stairs were glaring at him as if his demonic presence were not welcome within this realm. One Dominion tilts his scales as if it's a warning of what's to come next. He didn't feel afraid, but also knew not to take his current situation lightly. The light slowly consumes them all as they float up the stairs leading to the very sacred room. The higher they climbed, the brighter it would be to the point nothing could be seen. It would seem like seconds or even a minute to scale the heights into the right place they needed to go.

A voice would soon greet their presence, "Welcome back, Heralds. The one who sits on the throne had been awaiting your needed presence."

Before their eyes would be a feminine goddess, dubbed the Light One, who was once the friend of the Creator before her reincarnation as the Panagia that assists the Creator within this realm. Her face is obscured by the horned helmet that usually covers her face whenever she's in this realm with the very being she serves. The angels knew that they arrived in the right place. Before them would be a massive throne similar to the holy symbol associated with God, a massive divine being sitting within it. Beside him would be two other figures that stood beside his feet, a small tengu woman with blue hair and a red skinned Buddhist monk who had always served previous Creators before him. They were Amanozako and Goko respectively, as was the masked messenger being known by her former human name Tao. The seated figure himself is the Nahobino that Okuninushi had previous spoken of, with long flowing blue hair comparable to water and an almost futuristic suit-like body to match the Proto-Fiend traits that he gained from being fused for so long. His yellow eyes were another sign of his godhood, but also due to being a feature one of the strongest Amatsu Kami had even before fusing with his destined partner. As one, the Creator is truly the current God since the death of the previous one to fulfill his destiny in honor of his fallen allies that wanted to seek the throne.

"Welcome back, I see the five of you had a great time in Japan. It's such a shame the Kunistu were fools to spread the truth like that. They were lucky to be spared as we have bigger beef with the demons that crawled out of their hellhole instead of staying where they belonged. May I ask what seems to be the reason for your return?" the Creator asks.

Sadalphon opens his hand to reveal the weak Demi-Fiend within the palm of his hands, who would be surprised to see the large familiar face looking down on him from afar. Amanozaku gasps before fluttering higher to get a better look, Tao opens her helmet just to see the face of the dark arbiter in the palm of the Herald's hand. She knew too well who this is as she helped the Creator fight him before in the Hall of Chaos. Goko never personally met the Demi-Fiend before, but knew he is trouble if his allies and even God he serves is shocked by his appearance. The Creator however would turn that shock into a slightly amused feeling that he sees a formerly powerful foe once more since claiming godhood by his own hands. Another voice would speak within his head, the Amatsu Kami that makes up his body would be communicating with his human half.

Young man, I recognize that pressure anywhere. It's that true demon we've clashed with years ago. He's still strong as ever but thankfully in no state to fight. Whatever the Heralds want us to do with him, I will leave that to your best judgement to decide. I'm not surprised the Kunitsu were less than cooperative, it's no wonder Amatsu like me are the true gods of Japan. But that will be all, feel free to speak from here.

The Creator then focus his attention on the wounded demon after his partner is finished with his mental speech. Demi-Fiend is less than thrilled to meet an old but stronger foe like him once again, and without his team of demons to take him on.

"You, of course you of all people would want me very badly to see that disgusting face of yours," he snarled.

Soon, the small tengu lady would fly directly in his face with her fangs bared and highly angry at the insults flung at her "other half".

"Watch it buster, you know you are talking with the most handsome and strongest demon in all of existence! If you know what's good for you, I would have Zanbarioned your sorry pale butt back to Hell where it belongs!" Amanozaku shouts.

The Creator chuckled slightly knowing how protective the Mother of all Tengu is about her favorite partner and the god that saved her from being used as a weapon by her fellow tengu. She harbors feelings for him due to him having parts of the Proto-Fiend within him and their bonds of exploring the various Netherworlds together before claiming the throne.

"Amanozako, I would advise you give our Creator the eyes he need to look at our enemy. No one should disrespect him, that is very true. But the important thing is for us to know our place and give him the chance to speak," Tao warned.

The tengu woman pouts, fluttering away just to leave the centerstage between the two strongest demi-humans to see each other face to face. The Creator gives a smile sinister smile to the sad state of his former Chaos rival, almost pitying him as much as he did Tsukuyomi and Yuzuru Atsuda. Demi-Fiend's fanged snarl would only remind him that he has no time for any of his cryptic games instead of helping Bayonetta as promised.

"What the hell do you want with me? You have your throne, that is good enough. But if I were you, I would be concerned about our true enemies planning to bring back the former Creator to usurp you. That means the more you sit on your royal blue ass, the likelier your role as God will be over," Demi-Fiend said angrily.

Amanozako holds back her anger the best she could to stay in her spot, following the orders of Tao. Tao had no idea of what to say on the subject knowing too well that it is impossible to bring back the old Creator. Goko however grew curious since he never knew a situation where a former Creator is revived and the possibility that they may fight for the throne once more.

"How do we know that you aren't trying to deceive us like Lucifer? He was the one who slain our old Creator and his defeat at the hands of our new one made sure no trace of him was left, his Knowledge isn't of this world anymore. Unlike that of other Gods, the Knowledge of the Creator will have a hard time reincarnating in a new host. What power do these enemies have that would be a threat to the Nahobino?" the red skinned monk asks.

Tao shakes her head as she wants to know just as much about Demi-Fiend's case.

"After you didn't listen to the threats of my followers on not telling demons and living people the truth that they are worshipping me? Killed one of my holy followers? Almost destroyed another major city in my home country? You are fortunate that I don't have to use a miracle to create a replica and send the old Kamurocho to the Netherworld. For what reasons should I be obligated to listen to you?" he said.

Seeing the Creator this angry is a very rare sight, that it even unnerved his three followers in the room. The five Heralds were taken aback by the silent rage of their master., remaining silent as to not upset him further.

"Are you concerned about this world you rule or not? Because the Legion can use YHVH to destroy you as well if they know of your existence. You truly underestimate them like they are your average terrorists. The people that were killed weren't innocents, but mostly the criminals that ran rampant because of the Legion's colonizing along with other parts of the country you care for. I would go as far as saying that you are…"

"Enough, thou haveth outlived thy usefulness! Oh Heavenly Lord, should I smite this sinner where he breathes?" Sandalphon said coldly.

"That will not be necessary, Sandalphon. You aren't like your brother Metatron who has better judgement. As for you King of Chaos, for what reason where you causing so much bloodshed? Even if they were full of sin, other innocents were involved and they would have died as well. I've already felt the presence of enough souls leaving the heavens, but few ever returned here. I would have send my angel army to personally retrieve their souls and bring them here, but it won't be an easy task as a certain magic keeps them alive. Is this same Legion the reason?" the Creator asks.

"Lucifer is weak, those fools almost caused a mess that destroyed almost all layers of Hell itself, as a result making him less the demon he was. He needs countless souls to reach his full power once more, that's why it was our goal to seek any evildoers and kill them so their essence makes him regain his former Glory. All souls, in Heaven and Hell are effected by the Legion's tampering with ressurection that resulted in a multiversal storm. That is why some demons have left their domain because things aren't the same with no souls to torture or feed on. I am sure your angel friends feel the same way about missing their usual babysitting of the ascended," Demi-Fiend explains.

Aogami once again wants to speak telepathically with the blue haired Nahobino on the current subject, mostly out of curiosity.

Young man, perhaps he could be of use to us? There may be a small chance the ones you taked the throne for are still out there and would make great assets for us. Abdiel and Dazai. We accepted that the two were no longer of this world for so long, but the Legion may had unknowingly made it possible for them to serve their purpose once more.

Part of the Creator didn't want to just simply let Demi-Fiend's actions go unpunished even if it would personally benefit Law's army. At the same time, he hates the idea that some out there want to bring back the original Creator and that would mean he would fight for the very throne he sits upon to reclaim it. Another concern is how his current followers would gladly turn on him if it means serving the God that they all worshipped for so long instead of him.

"Those fools, they think they can take thou former God and use him against thee? As much as I would like to serve thine true Creator, he wouldn't be the same. Just a hollow shell of thy former self and not truly that of Law. But something worse than Chaos. Those sinners…" Sandalphon said in unexpected anger.

Michael and his fellow Archangels were unsure what to think on the scenario as they devoted so much millennia into worshipping one god and found their current one just as respectable after the former's demise. Gabriel dreads that it could mean the end of all reality as she know it if the Legion mishandle the former owner of the throne after resurrecting him. Uriel cares more about punishing the demons that made a mockery of him in Japan than thinking much of the former Creator's return. Raphael wonders if he may ever see Abdiel again, feeling that despite her fall from grace that her sacrifice in the Empyrean made their current rule possible. Micheal wondered if there was something he could ask of Demi-Fiend despite his status as a hater of all demons that stand for Chaos.

"If thou wish for us to forget that conflict in Japan, I will ask of you a favor. Investigate the source of the godly pressure that we felt in this Empyrean. I have a feeling that they may be already enacting on the perversion of our God. Report back to us and we will not think of pursuing thee or the Morning Star," he proposed.

"Is thou ill? This demon must be destroyed as he is a danger to the very beings that we must protect in the Great Will. And we must permanently end Lucifer just like he did to thy God as revenge," Uriel shouts.

"Perhaps, he is right. I also have a favor I am willing to ask of him so his demons friends can be put to use. Don't consider us allies, but this is a mandatory request if you want to be free. I want you to seek Abdiel and Dazai, two great allies who would had been the Creator instead of me had your Chaos worshipping allies Yuzuru and Tsukuyomi didn't kill them. I would say be wary of them as they may be back to try taking the throne back from me. Also be careful of Nuwa and Yakumo as well, I have a feeling they want to push their world of no demons agenda once more assuming they breathe again. The Legion is disrupting the natural order in more ways than one. Be grateful, that I wouldn't wipe your very existence right now when I have to stay at this throne to guard it at all costs. I will be sending at least one of my Law demons with you to keep you in line. You should have no objections after what I've proposed," The Creator said with his eyes still on his smaller enemy.

Demi-Fiend is not too thrilled that he is on a personal fetch quest for something his rival's angels could easily do themselves. But then remembered that the two pairs also happen to be Nahobino themselves and could be just as powerful as or close to the Creator before he gotten on the throne. He is also wary of whether the Law abiding pair he would fine would silently come with him or see him as another demon to purge on sight. Thinking back to Micheal's words, he also felt that strange pressure earlier as it came from a truly powerful demon or even god.

"Very well, I'll take your offer. At least you are willing to listen about what's going to happen unlike your autonomous angel slaves that ignored the truth. Just promise me that you won't backstab me or Lucifer's group by sending your forces after them," Demi-Fiend snarled.

"You have my word. I'll have Amanozako keep you in check unlike your Pixie friend. She is also a Proto-Fiend herself and can easily tell me if you aren't following your end of the bargain. And don't forget, I am the Creator and I see everything that goes on within the cosmos. I will even remind you of your mission if you stray far from it. Got that?" the Creator warned.

"Good, I will make sure to do that if it means fulfilling a promise to a friend, to kill YHVH before those fools think about using him to erase all of us for their own rule. Surely, you know that your once comfy throne won't exist anymore and neither will your status as the Creator when this fails," Demi-Fiend said.

The Creator remains silent as he knew too well how easily his rival can break his fair composure with mere words. Goko thinks intensely as he is one for making sure the throne never gets destroyed or erase as someone that protected it for eons regardless of who had the throne. From Baal to even the former God that was felled by Lucifer, it was his duty to make sure such a catastrophic event were to never happen. Tao also had a feeling that this alliance was a risky decision but the only option they had if it means not revealing the identity of the current Creator to the rest of the world. The Archangels had mixed feelings about the idea that they may be forced to kill the Creator they once serve if that time comes, mostly since they can't bring themselves to ever see their former Lord as the enemy.

"Then it is settled, King of Chaos Demi-Fiend, you shall embark on a journey with many trials. One that may hopefully bridge the gap between Law and Chaos. The Nahobino that you never had battled will be proven a massive obstacle if you overcome it the same way you nearly overcame our current Lord. Amanozako, stay focused and guide him in the right way. Leave everything to me and Tao to keep the Empyrean and our Creator well guarded," the red skinned monk announced.

Demi-Fiend would be surprised at the Panagia who was now close enough to him with her hand on his chest. This surprised him because not a demon ever gotten close to him in an almost intimate way. Even the miniature tengu woman would be pouting at the sight as usual. However it turns out his wounds were slowly being healed, removing all traces of pain in his body and even replenishing the strength he had lost in Tokyo. He would realize that she is only nursing him back to health for this mission to be successfully done. The Creator did a sly smirk to express his satisfaction at Tao proving why she is the closest advisor in the Empyrean. Even Goko nods that she is fulfilling her role as the Messiah with her phenomenal healing prowess. She eventually finished with the healing, closing her otherworldly mask once more before floating backwards towards the Creator's shoulder.

"Now you may go. Your power and health are back to the way it was. Don't be reckless in the heat of battle as I may not do this again. The rest is up to you, Amanozako," she said in her heavenly voice.

Sandalphon would obediently place the demon boy back onto the ground now that his focus should be defending this realm. The other Archangels would soon fly off in different directions with their eyes on surveying the world. The golden Herald would soon fly straight off leaving Demi-Fiend and Amanozako alone together. The blue haired tengu is seen looking the other way as the idea of leaving the very Creator she loves wasn't part of the plan, but forced on her just to act as his eyes and ears. The tattooed demon boy isn't too sure of what to say without angering her at all.

"Shouldn't we be going?" he asks carefully.

The tengu woman scoffs once more, then flies off without him to lead the way. The Creator laughs at the sight knowing well that she isn't the nicest to those she barely know. Demi-Fiend eventually sighs before following her if it means leaving this dimension quickly enough. Goko would keep his eye on the two that had left as he remains standing near the massive throne the Creator sat upon. Tao remains seated on the right shoulder of the blue haired Creator with hopes that they find their lost allies once more.

Dazai, I hope you are still out there. Because I've done my part to maintain God's order and now we have to keep these fools from abusing his power. You too Abdiel. An angel like you is irreplaceable compared to the rest of these obedient shells.

Back above the skies of the Lost Hex, it would seem that the fight between Kyrie and Astaroth had came to an end. The red haired god would only look at the dust clouds that formed from the end result of his deadly attack. The howling winds of the floating continent's atmosphere combined with that of the Earth's stratosphere only gave the impression that the battle's conclusion is far from over. He could barely make out the laughter of two divine beings, one male and one female. This would be the first time anyone would ever see a fully unfused demon if ever since Astaroth gave up his form to narrowly avoid the devastating attack.

"Well done boy, you've forced us to split up. Perhaps it's about time I show you the true power of a Megami," Ishtar said.

"It's been eons since I've last resurfaced. Such a shame that fool Baal isn't here to see his rival outshine him once more. Face the wrath of a true Deity," Ashtar called.

The sandy dust clouds revealed to show the two demons in their glory, a red haired dark skinned god of Canaanite origin that desires the throne and a blonde horned Babylonian goddess known for her vanity. Kyrie isn't shocked that he will have to use the Destruct Code's power longer to face the two gods for a longer fight. To see a demon become two divine beings to escape being destroyed isn't something he truly expected. He wasted no time using another one of his devastating spells to fire a massive fireball at them. The two deities split up immediately to charge straight for their desired target. Ashtar dealt a roundhouse kick to his back, which Kyrie retaliates with a backwards swing. Ishtar used this moment to use Marakunda to weaken his defences. The spell's effect would weaken the strength behind Kyrie's arm, slowly breaking from the overwhelming strength of the war god. He quickly used his other hand to launch a sand spell at Ashtar only for him to dodge it.

"Damn, my power is starting to feel weaker. But how?" he said.

Ishtar had another trick up her sleeve, beginning to do a series of erotic dances before his eyes. This would be Sexy Dance, a seductive move most demons use to charm and pacify their victims. Her revealing outfit along with her graceful skill at sexual dancing would only be proven more than a problem for him.

"Look at this beautiful form. Only a goddess like myself would grace you with this special dance. It doesn't matter how strong you all but men or women would only fall victim to my alluring form. Does it please you? Give in to your greatest sexual desires, boy. I will help relieve all that you have building up inside of you," she said in her sultry demonic voice.

Kyrie would sooner lower his guard completely and no longer see her as a threat. His serious green eyes would soon turn pink along with a fully red blush to overtake his serious face. Destruction is no longer on his mind but an uncontrollable lust that would only disappoint his fiancé if she were looking at this from below.

"You…are beautiful. Why are we fighting again? A man should never lay his hand on something beautiful and stain it with blood..I love you," he said in a euphoric voice.

It would be too late as he is consumed by lust completely, even Ashtar feels that his strength isn't needed anymore while he's distracted.

Good, give in to those desires. Your pointless life will be over with once she gets closer to you. Never underestimate Ishtar.

The goddess chuckles, teleporting closer to the bewitched red haired man with less than pure intentions. He tries to attack with his dagger only to realize his overcoming charm is preventing him from seeing her as an enemy to attack. Ashtar laughs at the misfortune of this god, looking forward to see his partner to an end to his miserable life. The horned goddess slowly embraces him close to her body, his face ending up upon her body due to her massive size as a goddess. The smothering only heightened his empowering lust for her, and lost all will to fight back for his life. Ishtar smirks wickedly knowing this is her chance to end his life up close.

"It's a shame that I have to put down such a dashing young man. But my Dazzling Gleam shall shock your existence into nothingness," she announced.

Before she could use the devastating shock spell, powerful winds hit her back. Being an elemental weakness to her was enough to cause the goddess to scream. "Damn!" Kyrie is soon backed off of her large figure to be saved by a familiar Star Warrior on his Warpstar. Kirby came in the nick of time with the help of Tengu Man, Robin, and Byleth who were back him up. Ashtar is tempted to jump in and assist his ally, only to be stopped by a series of powerful Light Arrows and blasts. Pit already dons his Three Sacred Treasures that he used to take on Medusa a while ago to face this weaker god. Knowing that the full fusion Astaroth is comparable to Hades, he felt this would suffice against the other half.

"You insignificant little…I will send you to darkness so Mot can personally deal with you!" he shouts.

He is too slow to deal any strikes to the nimble angel that flies around him. Pit fires some bigger arrows into the air that would soon rain down as powerful pillars of light. They trapped and soon engulfed the Canaanite god's body before he could attack him. Two more casts of Thoron would be enough to blow Ishtar away from pursuing her enemies and Tengu Man trapping her with a Tornado Hold thanks to Kururin using Helirin to hold the spinning leave fans atop its back.

"You know better than to disrespect a goddess! I will end everything here even if it kills me!" she screamed.

Kirby spun Kyrie as fast as possible with his tornado hat if it meant snapping him out of his charmed state. It seems that this is easier said than done since this lust was too strong within him. A series of steel winged pteranodons would soon strike her from many directions as quickly as possible. This is the work of Zoe who told Paris to attack the goddess from below with everything he had. Mega Man soon flies from below atop the Rush Jet to assist his allies, Mega Buster forward to deal a good Black Hole Bomb to the goddess.

"Let's see if you take this!" he said before firing the ball of anti-matter at her.

She succumbs to the powerful suction of the mini-black hole, and wounded up attacked by spirit blasts. This is the result of Ghasts that flew out of a Nether Portal Alex quickly crafted after taking a blocky stairway to the skies she's created. The goddess is now consumed with immense rage that she finally breaks free from the Tornado Hold easily.

"You fools messed with the Goddess for the last time! Dazzling Gleam!" she shouts before sending waves of powerful lightning at everyone.

Some barely dodged the fast powerful strikes within the skies and they even destroyed the Nether Portal and Ghasts that were set free by Alex. This forced the blocky red haired woman to use her jetpack to fly away to safety. One strike would soon shock Kyrie with ease, and even Kirby as well since the two were still standing in the same spot. A star soon flew from him as Kirby no longer had his Tornado Ability anymore and Kyrie soon descends. Fortunately this snapped him back to his senses as he no longer felt consumed by the sensual dance of Ishtar anymore. He would soon glare at Ishtar knowing what would be the right thing to do. She didn't feel the slightest afraid as she could easily seduce him again if she wanted to and kill him. But what she wouldn't expect is a Z-Powered Incineroar to grab her from behind, and flip her on her back. This is also different since he tanked her Dazzling Gleam with Revenge to buff his strength twice tenfold, fortunately not the same kind of Dazzling Gleam Fairy Type Pokemon can do that would weaken him.

"Incineroar!" he growled with a smug grin.

"What? How did you grab me and why is a mere creature like you able to overpower me?" she cried.

This is due to his nature as a Dark Type Pokemon and Dark being a weakness of this particular goddess like Wind.

"Take him down Incineroar, she's all yours!" Mega Man called.

Ashtar had little time to waste on Pit anymore, unleashing a powerful Heat Wave fend the angel further away from him. Robin and Byleth knew there was him to deal with, searching for their best tomes to deal with him. He swings another roundhouse kick to attempt attacking both mages, only for a walk of sand to block the way. Kyrie was now back to finish where things were left now that there's just one god to take on than two.

"Don't forget that you have me to deal with. Not a single innocent live will be lost nor will you ever think about harming my Morte again!" he shouts.

For the first time, the Canaanite god would draw his sword, a true sign that he's no longer taking this fight any more lightly.

"Dark Sword!" he called before charging at him for his next attack.

Blow after blow, the Z Move empowered tiger knocked the weakened Ishtar around with all the might he had as the heroic heel. She couldn't do a single spell now attack due to the Pokemon's aggressive dirty tricks affecting her body badly. She's never been this overwhelmed since the Creator felled her during the invasion of the Demon King's Castle, and that was when she used Magatsuhi amplifiers to give her the strength she lost years ago. She tries gathering the electricity she has to shock him, only to give up due to Incineroar's relentless attacks. He finally decided to end things with a diving headbutt that pierced her exposed navel to send both of them plummeting back to the earth. The heroes were finished listening to the story Lucifer told them and his reasoning for wanting to find more souls only to see the two falling towards them. Marth is still unsurprised by the Pokemon's reckless behaviour as always, thinking of a plan to soften their fall.

"We need a way to stop them two since the Lost Hex shouldn't be enduring any damage," he announced.

"Or maybe the Prince of Darkness here needs to control his fellow demons from being destructive assholes and go back to the freaking pit," Detective Washington beamed.

"He has no control when he's just a powerless old man. And we already subdued most of them. And the Trickster here is already backing down like he should," Skarkin said.

"If Master Lucifer tells me to stand down, I will obey his orders. Be glad that I have little reason to kill you fools anymore," Loki replied.

While everyone would be talking, Steve already thinks of the idea of crafting a special structure made of sand blocks before them. He's an excellent survival strategist and thinks of the best way to protect his allies no matter the costs. Mario realized what the blocky man is doing and smiled at his genius.

"That's a genius. The sand should soften the impact and weaken the flames on Incineroar's body to make his Malicious Moonsault less destructive to this forest. Great thinking, Steve," the plumber said.

"At least some of you are concerned for the state of the Lost Hex unlike others. I still don't trust these demons and they need to go back from which they came," Zavok said with disdain.

"Your ally, the witch, was the one who wanted me to come and help after I've risked it all stopping Hell from collapsing because of those treacherous Hell Lords who were Legion spies all along. And they thought they could trick me and my demon allies from joining their cause. Like we would ever want to share this world with God in any way after ruling it. I really want to do something to that organization but with no power, I'm a shell of my former power," the old man laments.

"But that doesn't mean we will let you rule this world either. I saw what my future was like and I still don't trust you. So consider yourself lucky that my allies here want me to let you off easy and keep an eye on you," Silver warned.

Lucifer couldn't help but to remain silent at the hedgehog's constant scorn at him and his need to act as an arbiter of justice that stop demons from doing what they were always meant to be as superior beings to humanity. Steve quickly runs away once the massive sand castle is complete before the two finally collides in a massive dusty explosion of sand particules. Everyone covered their eyes from the ensuing sandstorm that happens as a result of the impact as it spreads further throughout the jungle. While the impact is softened, the final attack combined with the winds of the sandstorm would be enough to finally put down the Mesopotamian goddess from her rough landing. Incineroar is almost as unfortunate as his flames died down alot and the sand is weakening his strength from doing anything more.

"In…cin…eroar," he said under his breath.

Soon a massive vortex would be inhaling all the sand down below to clear things up. It was Kirby using his Super Inhale to really clean up Steve's mess as Mega Man and the others begin to slowly land. Kyrie would be carrying down a defeated Ashtar who couldn't keep up with his strength at all. Morte is more than happy to see her fiancé safe and sound, but also happy his Destruct Code power wasn't used in vain. Lucifer is almost disappointed that another commander of his' would be depowered, but also defeated.

First Beelzebub, now Astaroth. It's almost like Chaos is starting to crumble one by one. The Legion will truly pay for this. I feel too powerless to prevent anything happening to my fellow demons and to believe this was her idea of a partnership.

Both Ishtar and Incineroar are revealed to be completely out cold from the sandy landing they did. Kyrie is personally glad she was down for the count since he don't forgive the fact that he was seduced by her alluring charms. But also glad that Morte didn't see anything down below or she would have been pissed.

"Good work, Kyrie. Now we see why you'll be the one to stop YHVH in case we all fail," Sam said.

"You really are strong, I take by anyway thing bad I've said about you," Amy cheered. "You really would had made things easier with Metal Sonic if you had helped. Not that we needed it anyway," Vector bragged.

"Astaroth….no. Not only we get humiliated by these weaknlings, but you fell as well. Leaving our home was a mistake," Surt groaned.

"Is that a challenge, boyon? I am itching to soak you even further," Aqua Man threatened.

The fire jotunn knew that he was in no shape to fight anymore and had no choice but to comply. It wasn't until see saw a black outline appear around his body. More of these outlines would appear around the other fallen demons slowly suddenly of magical origin. Spring Man would be smart enough to snatch the fallen fire tiger away before he was trapped, wearing his Toasters to avoid being burned. The Smash Brothers and Blue Marine Rogue Alliance were confused as to what is happening around here. Lucifer is less than trilled about being trapped in this magic square with no way of escaping.

"Very classic, this was all a lie so you all would end our lives. Now I trust that witch even less," he said.

Other weakened demons like Chi You and Mithras desperately used their weapons to try breaking from these impenetrable boxes with all they had. But with no avail there is no way to truly escape from Dimentio's magic boxes.

"This wasn't our plan, there must be a new enemy here manipulating everything," Vyse said.

Sam would be looking in the direction of the Deadly Six and World Destruction Committee in case they knew anything.

"Are there any more "enemies turned allies" we don't know of yet? Because an alliance isn't about keeping secrets from each other," he asks.

"It's enough knowing Star Wolf is here and suddenly "changed", so who else are you all hiding?" Fox demands.

Mario recognized these black magic boxes from anywhere, getting serious as a result just to find the source of them.

"Show a yourself, Dimentio. I know this is all your doing," the plumber shouts.

He would be right as the sinister jester appears before their eyes to take a graceful bow.

"Dimentio? The same being that tried to destroy many worlds with the Dark Prognosticus? You must be with the Legion too," Ness said in anger.

"There better be a good explanation for letting a villain like this slide," Ford said.

Shadow knew that a handful of his allies didn't sit well with the idea of trusting an unhinged morally ambiguous character like Dimentio despite briefly assisting them in the defeat of Mecha Sonic. Luigi is still shivering from the sight of him as he'll never forget being used as a vessel for Dimentio's ultimate form nor being a brainwashed puppet to help his hidden plan against Count Bleck. He hesitates the idea of using his Poltergust G-00 at the risk of provoking the jester.

"Can Donkey punch that clown upside his monochrome head?" DK asks his red wearing ally.

Yoshi knew too well that he's far from trustworthy just by looking at him. The green dino growls with his hands ready to fight if necessary.

"I see you all have your eyes on me like ravens preparing to feast on juicy prey. I am simply proving my worth to you all by putting your demon enemies back where they belong. And what better way to do that than an explosion worth more than the thunderous Bob-Omb?" the sinister jester explains.

"Except we are letting them live for now. We understand Bayonetta's goal with this alliance as they helped this powerful human she promised to defeat YHVH. We still have our eyes on them, but killing then will give us less of an advantage to stop the Legion," Sonic shouts.

"Sonic is right. I'm putting my grudge aside to trust their plan. I wanted to put down these fiends as much as the next guy, but they all made a point that we all would stand no chance against the Legion's trump card if they were to bring him back. These demons are the key to defeating him and have raged war for eons. I suggest you undo your magic and not destroy them, jester," Silver warned.

Fawful would hover next to him after his hard work, a presence that would alarm Mario and Luigi easily as they knew this mean bean too well. The bean sceintist would recognize the plumbers easily, wagging his finger with one hand on his hip.

"Well if it isn't red and green finkrats. I am not here for fight when we have bigger beans to boil. That Bowser will pay for almost getting me and friend here destroyed. Save the lecture for another day," he rambled.

"Not a today, Fawful. With you overthrowing the Mushroom Kingdom several times and your mistress taking away Peach's voice, you have a lot of nerve to a act like you haven't done anything wrong," Mario called.

Luigi gathered up his bravery since he's talking to Fawful this time instead of the one who controlled him previously.

"What's your a plan this time? Trying to steal these innocent Zeti's treasures or destroying their homes? You're nothing more than a rotten legume," he said.

While he couldn't show it under his permanent smile, Fawful is deeply angry by the accusations from his former enemies. Dimentio is more amused than offended since things were really interesting to him.

"Listen, finkrats. I've wasted intellect on rebuilding fallen world that was destroyed by blue metal rodent who we used to work for in first place. He put us in danger by almost sucking us inside of vortex, made mockery of my tech, and dashed my hopes of seeing sweet Cackletta back from dead. We are public enemy now when chances are spies have caught us helping fools defeat blue tincan. We have no home and are stuck with you until the world is destroyed. How about you show respect because I have fury and won't chortle at disrespect!" he beamed in rage.

"I refuse to believe it. The real Fawful would have a taken over this world easily and not rebuild it. Are you having an epiphany because that green chrome of yours was a softboiled?" Mario said.

"Interesting as always Mario. You seem to be having one yourself of not accepting that your enemies can turn a new leaf like a fresh Floro Sprout. I like that feisty spirit as much as the next cad, but I'm afraid we have some demons that should be sent to the Underwhere for causing so much trouble for these good people. One snap is all it takes to solve our problems," Dimentio said calmly, almost like a sociopath.

Lucifer is more than frustrated that he's in this position or that he's closer to death. Mara viciously scrapes at the magic force that traps him as well as Surt trying his best to break the fields with force. Tzitzimitl frantically punches with her hairy hand tendrils in every direction, Abaddon desperately trying to gnaw his way out futily. Loki desperately zaps at the forces with his might with no avail and Girimehkala unleashing his plague strikes on the forces.

"Just where the hell did that fool Baal go? I get he wants to achieve godhood, but he should be saving us from this situation," Mithras yells.

It wouldn't be until an unknown force binds Dimentio from going further with his attack, almost making him writhe in pain. This undid all of the magic feilds that entrapped all demons and even freed the wheelchair bound Lucifer from going anywhere else. This confused the heroes at what seems to be happening to him. Fawful is left with nothing to do as he didn't see who could have done it. Then he would hear a faint screaming from above that came from a familiar Scotsman. He soon finally crash landed headfirst atop Fawful's skull with much force from his out of control fart flight. Mario and Luigi inspected the site as they could tell exactly who it was. The lumbering man finally stands up from feeling the pain in his noggin, ignoring the knocked out BeanBean scientist he stands atop.

"Oi, that was one long trip to get here. This floating rock has the strangest gravity ever, even moreso than the Whoa Zone," he said while rubbing his head.

The smell of his lingering backwind didn't do him any favors as some gagged from the strong smell of it. Wario is less than pleased that someone is trying to steal his thunder.

"There is room for only one strong rotten man and that is a me, Wario. What brings a poser like you here?" he called.

"Is that a fight yer asking for? I will have ya know that the mighty O'Chunks can smack you harder than naughty Cherbils if ya really want one," the Scotsman called.

"Great, more annoyances to talk our ears off while we are humiliated," Mara roared.

O'Chunks turned to the entrapped green demon, almost shocked and did another fart of fear that knocked out Fawful.

"Great Scot, am I seeing things or is that a talking willy that's in my eyes?" he said in shock.

"Nevermind that, what are you doing outside a Flipside, O'Chunks. There wouldn't be a reason why you are here," Mario said.

Two figures would appear after flipping dimensions, both familiar women that Mario and Luigi long knew. The reason why Dimentio constrained makes sense as that along with brainwashing is one of their specialties.

"We are here because Flipside is falling apart. Or more all worlds as a whole. Same reason. why both Prognosticuses are missing. We embarked on this journey because Dimentio is responsible for their disappearances. Your worlds could be affected as a result. I figured you would have the answer for why he came here, Mario," Nastasia said.

"These demon doofuses were getting in our way, but we will let that slide when that book is just some dumb Amazing Island instead of what we really need," Mimi complained.

The three Maboo tribesmen heard her loud and clear, almost feeling excited and offended that someone would say that about their home.

"Young lady, tell us where this book is now! It is the only way we can use magic to put our island back inside the book at all costs. Evilings are flooding your world as a result because of what the Legion did," Lagu demands.

"You are asking the wrong person because that hair wearing witch has it in her hands. She's coming here now since the commotion lead us to this nowhere jungle," the green girl rudely replied.

Vyse is more than happy to hear that Bayonetta's mission was a success without needing to send anyone to Japan for retrieving the book. Though the question still remains if they can find the Amazing Island hero soon. Sonic is more than pleased to hear that the Maboo are only a few steps from finally being sent home when everything is over.

"Good work. At least assuming you all are telling the truth and not lying. But we still have a few more questions about what these Prognosticuses are. These books are also parallel worlds we should be concerned about? Your need for them leads me to question the importance of them," Sam asks.

The secretary adjusts her glasses as this is a long explanation to explain to these heroes.

"Both books are powerful books created by the Ancients that tell of prophecies. One of light and one of dark. You need a Chaos Heart or heart of darkness to tap into the Dark Prognosticus and a heart of purity or Pure Hearts to tap into the Light Prognosticus. Both are powerful on their own, the Dark Prognosticus was once used by our former boss to almost destroy everything, which in turn was all part of Dimentio's plan to take over dimensions after Mario defeated Bleck. That's why we need the Light Prognosticus to undo the multiversal damage that's happening everywhere because of the Legion, assuming Dimentio serves them," Nastasia explains.

Murmurs of shock and dread occurred between everyone upon this revelation. If it weren't the Chaos Emeralds or Evilings being loose, they had more problems to worry about that could affect their world. The fact that others are just in danger or already damaged because of the magical storm only reminds them that this is serious business. Lucifer is the least surprised as he always saw sin as humanity's biggest flaw and they use power as ways to outdo his own goals.
Three familiar shadow beings appeared from below just in time to greet the rest of their group. Mario knew them well, but easily recognized the youngest sister as a good partner of his'.

"Vivian, it's a good to see you again. How have your sisters been treating you, better I hope," the plumber exclaimed.

The Shadow Siren blushed and greets her mustachioed friend with a warm hug upon hearing his voice. She is forever grateful for him teaching her how to stand on her own and break away from her sisters' abuse instead of being loyal to the X-Nauts and Shadow Queen. Beldam is less than pleased to see him again as she never forgotten the beatings she received from him in the past. Marilyn is more afraid as she didn't want to provoke the red plumber in any way.

"Gu…h huh…" she said.

Luigi aims his Poltergust G-00 at them in case they were ghosts, as something about them felt too oddly familiar like Bogmire.

"Before you accuse us of doing anything wrong you moustachioed chump, I'll say that I left the Boggly Woods to investigate Mayor Dour's disappearance for an important matter. The stuffed old fool didn't want to tell us pretties anything about what's going on. So we took the liberty to spy on him from the shadows and overhear a certain United Federation needing him for a special meeting. And it was my idea to leave while Vivian here thought that you should know about it too," Beldam explains.

Knuckles would be the first to look in the direction of Team Dark as they along with the rest of G.U.N. have connections with the President of that country just like their commander did.

"Bat girl, is there something you haven't been telling us? We easily could have flown all the way there if the President needed our assistance. I'm not liking your need to hide valuable information from us," the echidna demands.

"Easy there Knuckles, maybe they never knew about this either. You would think the President would address something important to them first in case they needed to know," Tails assured.

"I'm afraid you are right, even the President didn't tell us about this either. Perhaps they felt this was an issue only important for big leaders around the planet while we focus on other missions like regrouping with them first. At least we know what the subject would be about assuming we will ever get there," Shadow said with his arms crossed.

Knuckles looked back at the Marines in case they also knew of this going on.

"And what about you guys, you also were aware of this or were left in the dark?" he asks.

"While we normally don't share classified information, we also are unaware of this. The crisis around the world is so intense that I doubt the President would risk something like a grand summit meeting when the world has their own affairs to deal with than leaving their own countries, cities, or towns unattended after Legion rule. I wonder why they would feel this is a necessity," Sam said obediently.

"I also assume deities or leaders on other planets are out of the question either. Antowas would had told me if she was aware of this. Not that she have any intention of leaving Quartalia unprotected. It's a miracle The Legion never thought about attacking my home," Astal said thankfully.

"That reminds me of an important question. When the funk is The Funkopotamus going to answer our calls? We've been trying to give him the down low on all the stuff that's been happening and he's acting like it's time to jam than actually listen to us," Latisha said frankly.

"I would say he is ignoring us unless we collect enough funky things to report back to our home planet Funkotron. But even Lamont never been this silent before," Earl said.

"Chances are those Legion fools already expanded out to our home planet and wrecked it like a black hole. We are too late, it's hopeless if the most funky being in the universe couldn't take them all on and it's thanks to wasting too much time on this funked up planet. We're doomed," Toejam cried.

Normally he is never this panicked for reasons beyond Latisha's usual anger towards his antics, his sudden need ti give top felt wrong to Beat.

"Don't you dare give up on me! Things will be ok. I used to think the same after losing contact with DJ Professor K and the other GG's, but I have faith that they are still out there and alright. So the same is the case for the funky people of your planet," the rudie called.

"Just like I think the West Coast is in A OK condition despite what's happening. Axel and I had a talk about this lately and I have a feelin' that the other drivers out there are doing just fine even if finding sane customers is likely as getting a speeding ticket now," BD Joe said with his grin.

"You're still too early, not that I need to repeat this to some of you a second time. The least we can do is have some faith. Even I know our fellow Virtua Fighters are somewhere out there mobilizing to confront the source of these problems even if I know the Judgement 6 have little to do with any of this," Akira said once more.

"It's interesting you all have so much hope for a situation so bleak. Humans are truly an interesting species, or more all beings in the various existences. You all have hope that things can fix itself even if a powerful being like me is reduced to this state by some of them. I would only wonder what my protégé Demi-Fiend have to say about this, if he is truly with us," Lucifer said.

Some were less than pleased to hear this ironically out of the mouth of someone who had a hand in ruling everything in the future Silver hails from other than the Legion. His demon brethren would be also shocked to hear this from their own leader who is normally confident about everything, his pride and strength even. This also reminded Sonic that there's something he is almost forgetting, Bayonetta and the Demi-Fiend her party came to get.

"Since she came with you all, where is she? And did this powerful human come with you too?" he asks.

Lucifer didn't know how to answer this as the instability of the Umbran Witchs' portal only scattered them during the process of leaving Kamurocho. He can feel the presence of all of his fellow demons, but unfortunately couldn't feel Demi-Fiend's at all as he was one of the last people that should had left with them all.

"He is not here. It's as if he sacrificed himself just for all of us to escape the clutches of Law. I wouldn't be surprised if the Creator is already toying around with him as we speak. She came in vain and it was all for nothing. None of you can take him on and we have little intention of starting a war with them, even if it's for one of our own," the Chaos Army leader replied.

"That won't be necessary," a voice said.

This was loud enough for everyone to hear, rousing suspicion and caution out of everyone here. Even the demons would try looking for where the source of the voice was coming from. Lucifer would soon feel a familiar presence, almost as it was exactly who he's looking for. But also feels the presence of a familiar demon as well, growing cautious as it was one of Law as well.

"Is that who I think it is? That annoying Mother of all Tengu is back! It's like the Creator really want us to be monitored," Belial said.

"There has to be a reason for this, maybe this is their way of delivering a message that Demi-Fiend is their hostage unless we fight him," Abaddon roared.

"Maybe they come in peace. We are ready to leave these fools if they really are here to fight," Mara said.

"I've heard that, dick head! Your asses better not think about making God's angels our problem," Washington called.

"Good, we should negotiate with them if possible to see what reason they
have to be here," Shadow said calmly.

"Hopefully you all have Macca on hand because no demon wants to join for free," Ashtar said while held by Kyrie.

"Or we can fight like we always have if it means our survival. If we can beat you fools, then these angels should be a piece of cake if they think they can get in our way," the red haired god said.

A large red portal would appear before everyone at the same time as the incoming presence of the two demons. One could tell this is an Umbran portal as in only two subjects would have made this easily. A familiar pair of witches would walk outside of it next to Jack Frost, Prince Ash, the Hero of Amazing Island, Ashley, Red, Satan, Demi-Fiend, and Amanozako. Her group just happened to meet them several minutes ago on the other side of the Lost Hex and agreed to meet everyone else in the Silent Forest as they were there. Baal and Fuma were the only ones missing as the former agreed to look after him. Ulala would be thrilled to see that her love made it out alive again, almost teary eyed from seeing him again. The green haired demon would be just as happy that he get to see her once more knowing the risks of being undercover in the mission. Wario is glad to see his prized employee is safe, as any less of them means no money for his microgame company. Ashley however could tell he is pretending to be concerned only because she's nothing but a way to get him rich than a genuine friend. Red however would be teary eyed that he no longer have to partake in anything this dangerous again, even if it was a deal his mistress made.

"Hee ho! Hee ho! I have returned from the bowels of Hell," Jack joyfully beamed as he waddled to his pals Gilius and Tails.

The dwarf and fox were more than happy to see Jack's cheerful face again. However, Sonic would be unsure if he should be happy in this scenario as the demon is unaware of NiGHTS's death after Wizeman was destroyed. For now, he felt it was best to address this situation only when asked about it. Janet and Hardy were happy to greet the modest rabbit, who didn't want to show that he actually missed being around them like old times. Another thing is that he didn't want any jokes about being soft or cute as he's quite trigger happy towards anyone who makes that mistake. Ristar however hugs him without fear as the star child actually was worried for his undead friend's status for a while. Bayonetta could see that her familiar group of friends were ready to greet her for the first time in a while. First, Gear appeared to greet her with a handshake of approval to show his appreciation. Then Joe appeared behind her to greet her with a similar gentlemanly shake. Then Omochao hovered above her with a tight hug to her face. His blue robotic body made it hard for her to see.

"I am happy to see you again. Did those demons hurt you? Are you alright? I hope not a single angel came for your head either," the robotic Chao cried.

Amy jumped up and hugged her as well on chest level, being more than glad that her friend is also safe. Billy and Alex Kidd would also table her in the same spot to topple the tall with over. Jeanne would almost smirk knowing her ally has som e wonderful friends that missed her dearly. The laughter and tears from the faces of Bayonetta's three smaller friends would show just how appreciated she is despite her usually seclusive and crass nature. She could already feel the warmness of this friendship, almost crying herself that she would had met her end in Japan if it weren't for the help of her new demon allies.

"No worries friends, this witch won't be hunted any time soon. And I've came back with the perfect help as promised," she said with a smile.

Demi-Fiend however would be experiencing his own heartwarming reunion from his demon allies. Mara hugs the boy against his elongated neck and stroked him in an attached manner, a rare sight for the demon of death and lust to ever show affection for an ally other than Girimehkala. Then Tzitzimitl grabs the boy with one of her own hair hands to hug him tightly against her cosmic bosom like a mother would to her child. He felt that feeling this much love from demons is unexpected as it is very embarrassing. "

"We are so glad those vile angels didn't think about killing you or else all would be lost for Chaos and our Lucifer," she cried.

Abaddon would give a nice wet lick of affection towards Demi-Fiend, unfortunately also drenching his fellow Tyrant in his demonic saliva. Belial grabs him and give the heaviest handshake, even if it shaken the entire body of his smaller demon ally.

"Great to see that our Anti-Christ had never left us. What did they do to you, friend," Loki asks.

"They made a deal that I have to seek some old friends of theirs that may be alive. That's why I have this short stuff with me to act as the eyes and ears of the Creator to make sure the job is done. Everything will be excused and there will be no war since they also see the Legion as a threat to their order. Even bigger than all of Chaos combined," the demon teen replied.

Amanozako scoffs once more as she didn't like to be made fun of for her size or be devalued of her importance.

"Don't forget, the angels would have destroyed you if they wanted to. Even I agree that you are better off dead. But I am here to keep an eye on you and Lucifer's cronies to make sure the task is done. We may have the upper hand against the Legion if we can find the Nahobino of Law out here," the tengu woman said.

"You have our word, at least you and your Law friends can cooperate all unlike others that been hunting me and Cereza for centuries. It's nice to have another woman on our side in the sea of men," Jeanne said.

Amanozako would be unsure to take that as an insult or a compliment, but the mother tengu could tolerate her way more than Demi-Fiend.

"That's nice that everyone here has a mutual hatred of the Legion. But it would be wonderful as a Pure Heart if someone can unhand me," the mentally pinned Dimentio said.

"Not until you tell us where the Prognosticus of Light and Dark is. We will let you go if you can tell us," Nastasia demands.

"Just because these doofuses are cool with you doesn't mean we are. I would have ripped you into confetti if we aren't mutually allies," Mimi complained.

Dimentio knew that this is an answer no one would like, but he didn't want to be controlled by her mind bending power any longer. Mario is just as curious as what he did with both books as someone who previously used them.

"They were given to Bowser as a deal if it meant me serving him and getting a Chaos Heart. But with me as a traitor, that won't happen and they are still in his possession. Now you see why things are hopeless as a penguin learning to flutter," he yelped.

"Ya little…if I weren't holding this bean stew down, I would had clobbered ya in the head with these fists. Why would you endanger our world by giving our enemy something that powerful?" O'Chunks beamed.

"First you a used me as a puppet for your crazy prophecy and now this? I wouldn't even a want to trust you with my life if you given Bowser both Prognosticuses!" Luigi shouts.

"You are more useless than that Freak in a Sheet. Not even Vivian would make a mistake this bad, you fool!" Beldam said.

Vivian didn't appreciate being called out, even if she is mostly mad at Dimentio's careless mistake. Nastasia is so shocked by his mistake that she willingly lets him go only to fall to hear knees at the situation. Knowing that the world she lived in among countless others are in the hands of one crazy Koopa tyrant is enough to realize how much harder this mission will be. Mimi is so angry that she is resisting the urge to break her neck to transform into her true form in unadulterated rage.

"First we have to worry about the Chaos Emeralds being in the wrong hands and now these powerful books that judge the fate of many worlds. We stayed on this floating rock long enough and need to depart for Valua," Aika said in disappointment.

"Don't forget your friends here promised to see Dazai and Abdiel, two powerful allies we will need! I don't even want to tell you all what The Creator plans to do if his condition isn't met in three days. You all don't really have a choice," Amanozako beamed.

"Or how about we shoot this annoying pigeon bitch until she stops talking?" Washington threatens after loading his shotgun.

"I will already tell you that your little gun won't be enough to kill me. I won't even blab my weakness either since killing me will only make the Law vs Chaos war happen faster. Just face it," the tengu woman replied.

Several of the Blue Marine Rogue Alliance and Smash members still don't like the sound of this forced task they are put towards because of the actions of their own demon allies. Some had bigger priorities and feel that doing this will only further side track them from ever mobilizing to take down the Legion.

"I would rather not even think about or want any involvement in looking for that damned angel. Abdiel is a lost cause that is best staying dead for all I care. It is unbelievable that we are obligated to do something your angel slaves can do on your own," Ishtar said while lifting herself off the ground.

"We have no choice. The way I am now is no match for even the strongest of angels. If I am not allowed to take the souls of innocents, then how else can I get stronger? Demi-Fiend is all we have and we are grateful to have him despite looking for the ones who I've inspired to do what was right for their God," Lucifer said in his wheelchair. "

"Didn't those fools die in the Empyrean? They should have seen them instead of us having to do their dirty work," Surt said.

"Because of everyone being brought back from the dead because of the meddling Legion, they are no longer in that realm and probably wandering around the living realm. They could be anywhere since I don't remember their pressure," Chi You grumbled.

"Few souls to torture or feed on either, we will have to scrape everywhere just to find some. Those damned bastards had to do that to our chaotic lord," Lucifuge said in anger.

"I have a suggestion. If you are willing to take a trip back to Greece, then the Fountain of Youth is your only answer. How it works is that it brings you back to a previous state or even make you younger in just a dip. It worked well for that hag Pandora when she made herself more than beautiful. That could be your only option without feeding on civilians or even our enemies. Even speed up the process if you can let my right hand escort you there alone. Your demon pals would have to stay with everyone else to avoid any more suspicions, media attention is already growing aware in Japan," Viridi spoke through the skies.

"Bah, humans will always be afraid of us and spread panic. It will not matter anyway as we would care less about them. I refuse for Master Lucifer to even go alone when the Greek pantheon would likely disagree," Lucifuge said in scorn.

"Oh you mean Tall, Dark, and Scary Thunderbolt Man? He is pretty cautious nowadays after The Creator beat his butt twice already. He will only be a fool to get in your way since he's always being watched from above. It's all nothing to worry about," Amanozako said.

"Hopefully this is not my father you are talking about," Athena said in worry.

"No, this is the real Zeus, the one that existed longer than yours. The original that the Greeks had always worshipped. Your father is merely another aspect that came to being because different groups envisioned him that way. I am knowledgeable on all demons to know the difference," the tengu woman said with her hands on her hips.

"I assume this is the same for the two Hades' that we saw back in Hell. Which one of them are the real Hades?" Jeanne asks.

"Both are real, but were imagined as different aspects. Different people having their own interpretations give them the form they have. Greece is a divided country on its own and I have yet to see who is the real brother of old Zeus. Only he would know, if he's willing to not shock you," Amanozako replied.

Several of the Japanese allies is intrigued but also curious on the current form Amanozako takes other than the monstrous one she is known for in legends. Kiryu would be the first to ask her a question after recollecting his thoughts.

"Why are you smaller and cuter than what you should look according to legend? You are the real Amanozako are you not?" The yakuza asks.

She didn't know how to truly answer this as Proto-Fiends were meant to be classified information among Bethel and the Tengu Clan for so long.

"I have a bigger question, is the big green johnson here supposed to be the real Mara? I last checked that he is supposed to be a frightening demon of Buddhist myth and not some immature looking joke," Honey said in disgust.

"Is that supposed to be a challenge? Perhaps I should make you scream in pleasure right now," the penile demon threatened.

Ryo blocks her in defense while staring down the lust demon before he even thought about attacking her. Mara assumes that he is her mate who had already done less than pure things to her, chuckling a little.

"Most importantly, we all should be heading to Valua while we can. If what those shadow women say is true, we should hurry before Enrique departs for that grand summit. He deserves to know so his people are protected from Galcian even thinking about overthrowing the kingdom again. We've wasted enough time already," Vyse said seriously.

"Also Basel as well. I get the feeling not all the Cardinals had left for this meeting if we don't act fast. Trust me when I say our alliance with them will be of help for defeating the Legion," Sullivan said.

"I would argue that a bunch of demons and one of the strongest humans is more than enough help than those self righteous aristocrats. The plan should be dropped as we are running out of time stopping the Legion," Zephyr said.

"If we can trust the demons, then we should put our faith in Sullivan and Rebecca. These two have proven their trust enough and an alliance is just what we need. Not all of these demons are useful and one of them would need to be back in his prime to be of us," Skarkin said.

"Maybe Abdiel and Dazai, assuming The Creator will be on good terms and let us borrow them after they are found. I'll try using my senses to pinpoint their location. They shouldn't be too far and I have doubts they would be in Tokyo again," Demi-Fiend said.

"Agreed, we all need to plan everything before we think about making a move. G.U.N. have yet to fully contact us yet which could be them handling this summit that every leader must have joined. I hope they can be patient as we have enough stops to make before we ever regroup with them," Rouge said.

"Which we should do soon as Maria might want to see an old friend again and maybe use their services to track down Gerald Robotic once more,' Shadow said calmly.

"What? Maria and Gerald are alive!? You are completely serious, right?" Sonic exclaimed.

"We are, in fact Maria is safe and sound on the World Destruction Committee ship as we speak. She is better off not dying again on my watch. Gerald is also integral as she is the one who could get him into his senses if he still intends to destroy the world again like he did before death. That is the last thing we want ever happening," Shadow said before shaking his head.

"But he no longer has control of the Space Colony Ark, right? Everything was reset after all we did when the Finalhazard almost dragged it. And same for when Black Doom almost used it to destroy the Earth," Tails said.

"I wouldn't underestimate him as he knows the coordinates for everything and can do so again. That's why we need to move on and find him soon. Maria is the key to stopping things from getting any worse," the black hedgehog replied.

"Don't forget the Rookie too. I was going to tell you Sonic, he is back. After helping us beat Eggman's army and Infinite before, he managed to find us here. Same gadgets and everything. Why don't you say hello?" Vector said.

He would be right as a familiar red wolf came out of the shadows with the help of his grappling hook to enter the scene. Sonic is taken aback that a familiar face is actually seeing him again after parting ways for so long. The glasses, red fur, and utility belt were unmistakably all him. He gave a shy grin to show that he's happy to see the one that helped avenge his comrades in the past. Amy and Knuckles were at a loss of words that they seen such an old face again after his feats of helping save the world before. Speaking of reunions, the three Maboo Tribesmen were more than happy to see the Hero again who is now grown as a man who no longer had his trademark monster to fight beside him. He hugged Lagu, Folu, and Chinto all at once with a wide smile and many tears flowing down his cheeks. The jolly tribesmen were crying just as much to see such an old face again that would be of much help against the Evilings that are still at large.

"You guys, I am so happy to see you again. I am sorry for letting the book fall into the wrong hands. To make it up to you, I will be willing to do all I can to be of help, with or without a monster," he cried.

"Our people were helped by these nice heroes that just happened to land on our island. Every monster is completely safe and sound, even the civilians were safe. We will promise to assist you in any way we can to save your word," Chinto bawled.

"We kept your original monster safe within our magic pouch after all these years just in case you were to return. We never lost faith in the idea of you coming back if the ancient evil ever returned!" Lagu shouts with an eyeful of tears.

"We would tell Jimba and the others the great news, but what matters more is staying on track with our goal to eliminate all Evilings globally. Happy to see you again, Hero," Folu sang in tearful joy.

Sonic just finished a fist bump with the wolf soldier as a greeting to a fellow butt kicker that wants to stop Eggman as much as he do. He smiled back knowing well that this is a good opportunity for him. Yacker always appeared behind him, waving and babbling to Sonic.

"Yacker too? This is awesome. I hope you and your Wisp pals been doing well ever since most of you helped us out many times" the hedgehog said joyfully.

Tails didn't even need to pull out the Miles Electronic to translate as he knew too well what his alien friend meant. Cheese would notice flocks of Wisps flying from within the trees to greet some long time friends they haven't seen in a while. The Chao would be surprised at the diversity of these aliens in appearance and personalities as they surrounded everyone. Cream would be surprised at a Cyan Wisp speeding around her at speeds she couldn't keep track with. An Orange Wisp bounced on Big's head multiple times out of fun to Froggy's dismay. A Pink Wisp would be comparing its spikes to that of Silver's wild hair, confusing the futuristic hero. Blaze would happily wave to the friendly red Wisp that greets her with its bright flames. Knuckles would be playfully annoyed by several Yellow Wisps that tried to drill into his head lightly. Tails laughs at the few Green Wisps that hovered around him in a harmonious joy. Amy found the few Blue Wisps that bounced around her Piko Piko Hammer too adorable to be angry at. Several White Wisps would be playfully chasing Omochao around as if he were a windup toy to play with.

A Crimson Wisp soars around Mario's head to the point that Cappy had to take a look using his own eyes. Mega Man waves to the curious Gray Wisp that pokes around his blue helmet, chuckling to himself. The Ivory Wisp zips around Snake's body, leaving him little chance to analyze the electrical alien. Terry politely tips his had to the Magenta Wisp that plays his iconic theme for him joyfully. Banjo is impressed at the Indigo Wisp's gravitational powers, leaving Kazooie less than impressed that she is surrounded by these hectic aliens. Cloud tries to ignore the playful Jade Wisp that phased through his body multiple times in an attempt to get a reaction from him. All the fun loving aliens would be more than happy to see new faces on the Lost Hex that they could be of assistance to now that they were free from the Lava Mountain mines. The demons were just as confused by the appearance of these creatures as they hardly focus on beings outside of the planet Earth. Samus could sense high energy readings from these creatures, using her Scan Visor just to confirm that this Hyper-go-on energy is what makes up the powers of these aliens. She knew for a second that these were some truly special aliens that the Space Pirates were after on this planet. The Rookie would also show off the Wispon gun in his hand, which were weapons the Resistance made using the very Hyper-go-on energy from willing Wisps to fend off Eggman's army. Sonic could tell that he took good care of his specialized weapons his allies gave him when it came to training the best soldiers for rebelling Eggman's older forces. He could tell that he did everything he could to help Shadow's group fend off Mecha Sonic.

"Nice work bud, now it's your turn to help us out once more like old times. Your help in the Resistance was enough to show that you are a valuable ally to us," the blue hedgehog said with a thumbs up.

"Infinite is back and somehow gotten some control of the power he had lost. Who knows what became of him, but Dark Pit buried him before we all left for the Lost Hex. I doubt that is the last we will see of that masked clown," Shadow said gruffly.

"He probably came running back to his master Eggman for help. At least another one of his goons Nack is held in the Marine's ship, right?" Amy said.

Half of the Marines would be left looking rather guilty, since they were all sleeping through his unknown escape aboard the ship.

Scooter being a robot of his word said, "He escaped. But who the culprits were remains to be seen."

"I bet it was Bark and Bean, those two punks were always good friends of him. We'll criticize you all for letting him get away later. What we need to do is focus on taking their emeralds," Knuckles said.

"Reminder that your Nightmaren friend was giving all of us nightmares that almost killed us. Our robotic allies did the best they could to investigate but couldn't catch who escaped that night," Ford replied.

"The only evidence we all found were burn marks from explosions and destroyed steel. These Bark and Bean culprits could be the ones behind the jailbreak," Galacta declared.

Honey pouts as she really wanted to personally see the two since their last Fighters Megamix tournament. Bahn would only shake his head as he could recognize that they were far from good people unlike her. Everyone would soon see Pit and Dark Pit beginning to lift Lucifer in the air to take off for Greece. As much as they disagreed, the demons would stay where they were since this would be the quickest way for him to have his strength back. Demi-Fiend nods after looking in the old man's eyes one last time. He knew too well that it was time for him to take a quick trip to the Fountain of Youth. Palutena did what she could to grant the Power of Flight if it meant sending her angel away for his next mission.

"This will last as much as I could, just dip the old morning star in his special bath. He should be back to his six winged powerful self in no time. I'll stay with the other Smash Brothers," the Goddess of Light said.

"And don't forget Dark Pit, not to cross paths with any of the Greek gods. Zeus and his crew are powerful demons, even stronger than my forces and Palutena's combined. Just sneak to the fountain and help our demonic friend here," Viridi announced through the sky.

The two angels understood exactly what was expected of them and they instantly fly away at tremendous lightspeed straight forward. Their bodies brushed past the many trees of the Lost Hex and soon the clouds above as they rose quickly from their ascension. What would be happening below in outskirts of the forest would be an unusual sight. Baal would be praying with his own cult along with new faces like curious Zeti willing to learn of Canaatite faith and Fuma who also wanted to learn. They were all surrounding the same Baal shrine that he taken from Kamurocho, all kneeling down chanting ancient hymns to praise the god. Silent and focused, the growing cult would be fixated on praising for peace and for the will of Baal to covert their souls. The god did have his new goal of wanting to leave his demonic roots aside and becoming a respective god again, which shows when these Zeti were open minded enough to learn about it. Among them would be the young blue Zeti Zatania who joined in just to learn about what humans worship. Around them would be some fresh crops that they started to plant as a tradition of the Canaanite faith that was predominant of the past. Britney who was running nonstop from the demons that attacked her would stumble upon the praying group, huffing vigorously from too much running against her will. The ninja would take notice of the girl that came rushing into their prayer session. Something about her seemed different from his female companions with Tanaka, more her strong will and seemingly radiant beauty. He knew that he was better off focusing on the prayer and averts his eyes to continue. Britney would be confused at so many people gathering around a shrine to pray with a demon of all things. She is unsure whether to attack or warn them all to stay away from Baal despite being weaker.

"Oh hello, we would like if you could join us. Lord Baal is happy to introduce us to this new religion. It's all about promoting peace, love, and embracing the harvests we have. There is always room for one more." a Zeti citizen called.

The dark skinned god would open his red eyes to take a look at the intruding girl out of concern. Britney lost all will to fight after realizing just how beautiful he looks for a god. She no longer saw him as a threat but someone who captured her broken heart after giving up her own ex. She was always a firm believer of God, but couldn't help but to be lost in the yees of this bull god of harvests. Her eyes were now lost in the sheer beauty of him, glancing at his exposed muscular chest and powerful arms of a harvest god. He didn't know how to react as this is the first time any human actively grew interested in his appearance in that kind of way. The other followers were confused as to why she is staring at their lord instead of joining them for prayer. Several of the female worshippers felt slightly alarmed at the thought their own god is sexualized by this college girl. Fuma still remains silent on the manner as he is still feeling weak from the sight of her.

"You are more than welcome to take a seat and pray for the harvest with us. I'm on a journey to bring Canaanite faith back on the map and that can only be possible with you. Care to join us?" he asks.

Before she could join, a warning shot was fired that echoed throughout the ears of these followers. As the protective god, Baal stands up from his spot to look for the source of it.

"Stay the hell away from her, demon! I will not let you lay a single hand on Britney," Derrick threatens.

And that's it folks, a lot have happened. The demons were still pursuing souls for Lucifer that they would only be stopped by the Blue Marine Rogue Alliance, Smash Brothers, and World Destruction Committee. We finally gotten a glimpse of Kyrie's true power (which was originally intended for Mecha Sonic initially) and know that Silver has a vendetta against the demons for ruling his future like the Legion. Dimentio also admits to giving the Light and Dark Prognosticuses to Bowser as part of a deal to the dismay of his former allies from Flipside. Pit and Dark Pit are tasked with taking Lucifer to the Fountain of Youth in Greece if it means returning the Lord of Chaos' strength without costing lives. In the next chapter we should see how Baal will face the challenges of facing his own past. See you all until then.
