Slade silently snuck up on a guard, stabbed him in the neck with his knife, and then threw it at a nearby guard. Shadow did the same thing, snapping one guard's neck, and then threw a ninja shuriken at another guard. With one arm, the two Hellhounds threw their killed victims off the roof and into an alleyway dumpster. They got into position as Slade set up his silenced DRD Paratus 308 sniper rifle while Shadow covered him. His rifle had all the tactical attachments – foldable bipod, short vertical foregrip, silencer, scope, and a small red dot sight for closer targets.

Kyo was sneaking around another building across from Slade and Shadow's rooftop. Kyo pulled out his dual double-headed demonic swords – each had a blade sticking out of the handle. They were black and blue with three green eyes. Two eyes on the front blades and one on the back blade that was also shaped like a hook. The guards on his rooftop all had rifles and kept watch. Kyo quickly dashed to his first target and stabbed him from behind, making the blade stick out of his chest before he decapitated his head. Then he leaped to his second one, sliced off his legs from the knees, stabbed the back hook blade into his jaw, and used his other hand sword to slice his throat out, spraying blood all over the ground. The third and last saw him too late as Kyo leaped at him and performed several quick slices and slashes until he was nothing more than a pile of cut-up meat. Once his rooftop was secure, he pulled out his sniper rifle and zoomed in through his scope.

Moxxie, Millie, and Kimi also got in position from another angle at another building. Moxxie and Kimi were scoped in while Millie was covering them.

"Target in sight," Slade said on the radio.

"I see him," Moxxie added.

"Bill Henderson, a.k.a. Dollar Bill. One of the biggest drug lords in Texas and southwest of the US," Kimi said.

"Who murdered our client, who was a DEA agent, when he got caught collecting evidence," Shadow said.

"And also screwed his hot wife," Millie added.

"Stay focused, everyone. This is the biggest target of the week, and our clients are paying a ton of money. So, let's not let them down," Vortex said.

"Amen," Tim added.

"What are we looking at, guys?" Blitzo asked on the radio from his office in Hell.

"Big boss meeting some other low-down dirty mob bosses for their not-so-honest business deal," Moxxie answered.

"And a fuck ton of armed a-holes," Millie added.

"All right, let's make some fucking noise—!"

Before Blitzo could finish that sentence, his phone rang. When he picked it up, he saw that it was Octavia which surprised Blitzo.

"Hang on. Hold everyone," Blitzo said on the radio before answering the phone, "Hi, sweetheart. Listen, now is really not a good time."

"Do you kill Dollar Bill already?" Via asked.

"Not yet. Why?"

"Don't kill him! We need him alive! That wall in Cody's basement with all those targets they were after, they also had a list of known associates, and one of them is, you guessed it, Bill Henderson. Dollar Bill."

Blitzo's eyes widened in shock.

"Wait, what?" Blitzo asked.

"Dollar Bill knew Lord Drake. They worked together, and in Cody's parents' journal, they wrote notes about him and how hard it was to find him. Every time he gets back on the grid, things change. He's a big player. He doesn't return to the grid unless he wants it to be known. There's even a photo of a woman who works with the I.S.N.A. Blitzo; Dollar Bill is our guy. He has answers. He knows things. You need to get that fucker. Do not let him get away. You get him down here in Hell, I will read every thought, memory, and secret in that skull of his," Octavia explained.

Blitzo got chills from all that. It was as if a pot of gold or a unicorn had appeared. They couldn't let this opportunity go to waste.

Blitzo nodded, "Okay. Thank you for telling me that. Don't hang up, not yet."

He switched back to the radio, "Everyone listen up! Change of plans. We need Dollar Bill alive!"

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, and they looked at each other with confused looks.

"Dollar Bill is a high-value target who knows information we need to find answers about Cody's parents and the Grimms. You can kill all the others, but not Dollar Bill. Whatever you got to do, capture him alive," Blitzo ordered.

As soon as everyone heard 'Cody' and 'Grimms,' their faces went from confused to surprise to determined.

"Copy that, sir," Moxxie said.

"You got it, sir," Millie added.

"Let's grab this son of bitch," Kyo said.

Slade nodded, "Yeah, he's not getting away."

Meanwhile

The gargoyle demons swarmed in the sky like locusts darkening the sky. Samael grunted as he powered up his energy. Samael summoned five spell circles in the air, and in a split second, giant energy beams shot out toward the gargoyles. Those that were in the energy beam path were vaporized. Death held his scythe up and swung into the ground, and pulled. The ground glowed and opened up from the cut, and hundreds of demonic skull ghosts flew out of the land. The ghosts shone green like Death with a dark aura cloud behind them and had sharp claws, fangs, and horns. They had creepy smiles and made a haunting cry sound with laughter as they flew toward the gargoyles. They slammed into the enemy like a ton of bricks, and even though the gargoyles fought back, it was hopeless. Lamia summoned black and purple energy balls. When she threw them, they burst into dozens more, and then they turned into giant vortexes that violently sucked into hundreds of the bastards. As they were sucked in, they were hurled into a spiral twister that tore them to shreds.

A small dozen of gargoyle demons escaped the kill zone and got close. They lunged after Cody, but Death flew with lightning speed and sliced them up with his scythe. Lamia summoned giant sharp demonic claws. She sliced and stabbed demons. She impaled some with her claws before ripping them apart. Samael pulled out his own big enchanted two-handed great sword. With great speed, he flew and cut the flying demons to pieces. They didn't see him coming as their limbs, heads, and blood flew all over. When it was over, the three caught their breaths and nodded to each other. One gargoyle demon burst out of some broken tree rubble and leaped toward Cody. Without looking, Samael waved his hand and obliterated him with a giant blast of dark lightning.

They looked down at the valley to see the VVV army mobilizing. Demons with wings were flying. The ones without wings were scrambling to get everything in vehicles and helicopters.

"They're hauling ass," Death said.

Lamia turned to Cody, "Come on, Cody. Hustle up now."

On the other side of the valley, Loona and her forces were getting hammered by the VVV's forces. Loona and her team were pinned down by heavy fire. Loona looked through a hole in the building to see Cody's energy flame aura. It was like a bright beacon.

'Whatever you're gonna do, Cody, do it fast! We need it now!' Loona thought while she was reloading.

Cody reached the full power he needed. He spoke in ancient Satanic while moving his glowing hands. Then he stomped hard on one foot. A glowing demonic symbol appeared on the ground around him. He held his hands up and waved them toward the valley where the VVV army was at.

Then from the sky, something fell. A Hellfire rock was falling at great speed. It looked like a meteor or an asteroid. It shined bright like a star leaving a smoke trail like a ballistic missile, and flew as fast as one. A bright flask gleamed brightly when it struck the ground, followed by an enormous explosion. Another hellfire rock came hurdling down, and like the first one, it burst a colossal detonation. Five more Hellfire rocks rained down, each one leaving devastating destruction behind. When the smoke cleared, there were craters the size of football stadiums, and the blast radius was nearly ten times bigger. Thousands of demons were killed in each blast. It was like a scene from Call of Duty Ghosts when you command the satellite weapon, Odin.

"Okay, now that was worth the wait," Death said.

"Impressive," Samael added.

"We taught him well," Lamia said.

As the three were admiring Cody's power – Satan, War, Famine, and Conquest were fighting the enemy. Satan breathed fire in his complete demonic form, which was so powerful that it shattered rocks. His glowing flaming fists punched, crushed, and threw giant demons around like they were nothing. A massive ogre demon charged at Satan, but he grabbed him, slammed him hard into the ground, picked up, and ripped him apart while breathing fire on his corpse. Then he summoned his flaming mace, and with each swing, he sent bastards flying or crushed them into mush.

War summoned big machine guns and chewed up dozens of enemies as they came at him. Then he spoke in ancient Satanic to use a spell that rained grenades down on a dozen goblin and troll demons. The explosions sent the goblins flying in pieces while most of the trolls were only wounded. War drew his giant demonic sword and cut them to pieces while blocking and parrying their strikes.

Famine used his scale staff to strike his opponents. He was dealing with a group of demons skilled in fighting Famine with spears and halberds. Famine shot purple fireball blasts; several were hit and burned to a crisp. Then his black cape was glowing and changed into almost like a dark cloud. Before anyone knew it, the darkness swished into sharp tentacles and stabbed multiple enemies, and within seconds their life energy was drained before their corpses lit up in purple flames.

Conquest used his lightning bow to shoot enchanted arrows. Each arrow he shot would turn into a lightning bolt and zap around, killing dozens of enemies by making their heads explode. Then he switched to his two big hatchets, and with great speed, he performed a magnificent dance of death. He parried, blocked, and countered against his enemies before taking them down. He chopped, broke, and threw them hard against the ground or against boulders.

When they were done, they took a moment to catch their breath. They returned to the others to witness Cody obliterate armies. It didn't take long for the whole valley to be nothing more than rubble and flames.

Meanwhile, Loona was fighting with her raiders on the other side of the front. Artillery rained down and evened the odds for Loona as the enemy's positions were destroyed along with their armored vehicles. Loona and the raiders advanced to push through, killing any enemies they could find. They were retreating north as predicted. Reinforcements were arriving in armored vehicles and choppers.

Cody, the Fallen Angels, and the Four Horsemen headed down to pick off any stranglers, but as they did, more enemies turned up, but not just any enemies – Overlords. Argo, leader of the gargoyles, Brennan, of the goblins, and Marduk, of the minotaurs, showed up. Argo was bigger and stronger than the rest of the gargoyles. His skin was black, with glowing red tribal tattoos all over his body and bright red eyes. His weapon was a giant flaming morning star flail.

Brennan was also huge, with sharp horns poking out of his shoulders, forearms, and head. His weapon was a big double-headed war hammer. Marduk was the size of Satan and was impressively big and strong. He had thick metal gauntlets with sharp spikes on his arms and spiked shoulder armor. He had three horns on his head – two on the sides and one on his forehead. His weapon was a giant cleaver sword.

"Cody! You murderous little meat bag! Your head is mine!" Marduk roared while pointing his big cleaver sword.

Cody turned to his comrades and nodded. They nodded back. Cody summoned his Blue Diamond sword, making a loud deafening clinging sound like a sledgehammer on metal echoing on the battlefield.

Cody spoke, "Well, guys, we're not doing this the easy way. So we'll have to do this—"

The blade of his sword lit up in blue and white flames.

"—the hard way."

"Good," Satan said as he summoned his great flaming mace, "Just the way I like it."
