"F-fuck."

He didn't remember the last time he stuttered, but it was hard not to when coughing up blood. And in all honesty, he didn't remember a thing. Just.. just- her eyes widened as the only thing left of his best friend ripped through her chest and then her mouth opened- ah. That's right, it was Miss Makima.

His body felt warm as his saws melted off of him, his hand falling limply from his ripcord in instinct. He felt drained, his eyes refused to open up and his bones felt weak. He smelled something.

"You seem well, Chainsaw. Different, but well," something ancient said.

He finally saw.

A great, white, and bleeding thing stood in front of him. It was as if someone took a torture victim and slowly pulled their skull through their skin and smoothed it all out. There was no hair, no mouth, no nose, and nothing but two black bleeding pits for eyes, and it was staring at him. Not with its empty eye sockets of course, but an ensemble of blinking and bleeding eyes stared from behind the devil's head in tangled loops and shifting coils.

"...Revenge devil."

A pair of mismatched turquoise and blue eyes blinked at him. "Correct."

Denji took a knee, and stood up wobbly, "Kishibe told me about you. Your contract… it should have only happened at Makima's death dammit.``

The head of Revenge stood perfectly still, but yet the circles of stolen eyes contorted and bent slowly towards him, and two beautiful emerald green eyes peered over him. "Control was not always so arrogant, Chainsaw. I was one of the first deals struck by her. It would be beyond foolish for even her to believe you could not prevail."

He couldn't hear his heartbeat anymore, and his legs still felt as if they were made of fucking paper mache. "Get to the point already."

The circle of eyes rotated in either annoyance or a replacement of a sigh, and two blood-red eyes with yellow crosses engraved onto the surface lowered themselves in front of him, eyes to face, as its fleshy sinew stretched down. "The 'point' is that Control formed numerous proxy contracts to go off under certain conditions. Be grateful that many of the more… gruesome actions I've been willed to perform expired with the contract owners' death."

As the all too painfully nostalgic eyes cycled away, the last of his adrenaline returned and he finally slammed his fist onto the not-surface and all but screamed, "Then FUCKING tell me already, what are you going to DO? There's nothing you can do to me aft-after what Makima did to me."

For once, Revenge didn't look at Denji with one of its… eye circles and stood in silence for a beat more than his previous dramatic pauses as Denji breathed heavily.

"All devils come back, Chainsaw. In exchange for the eyes of Control's first few contract owners, you shall be kept out of this world until the time comes that Control may return."

Denji stayed silent.

A pair of inhumanly perfect yellow-ringed eyes blinked at him. "As per my contract to Control, you shall now be barred from entering this Earth until Control's next form returns and bargains with me once again, and with the help of Control's remaining devils, you shall be transported swiftly."

The head that stood still as a statue quivered for a second before Revenge's head ripped open. A swirling vast brightness that could only veritably be a star stared at him from between the cracked open face of the devil. The circles of eyes spun wildly in circles around the ever-brightening star as the split skull of Revenge impossibly moved farther away from each other.

"For what it's worth Chainsaw, I feel your need for vengeance. May you find peace and happiness in this new realm." The rings of staring eyes pored through every cell of Denji as he breathed slowly and finally stood up.

"Will my contract with Power still work?"

"...I shall allow it."

Denji took a step forward to the light and looked directly into the flaming star. "Thank you."

And so the burning heaven said, "Goodbye, Chainsaw."

…

Revenge closed its maw around the boy, and the hero of Hell vanished from this ungrateful earth.

In another world, one more hero appeared.
