The Adventure Universe, The Vainglorious Armada…
"By Jehova…" Saint James uttered as the Twelve Disciples watched the beginnings of the fight between Damien's forces and All-Hell.
"Does the Antichrist really intend to kill Color God Cream?" Saint Thomas asked. "He couldn't possibly-"
"If he were empowered by all four of the Chaos Gods at once…yes, he could kill Cream." Saint John said. "And if we know the Warp, it will waste no time in replacing the empty space that results from her death."
"An entire universe of the Chaos Warp?!" Saint Judas exclaimed. "Holy crap, if it gets that big, not even White and Black together could stop the Warpspawn! Pete, we gotta nip this now!"
"What about the Hero Alliance and Lord Superbia?" Saint Simon asked. "Surely they could…"
"Not alone." Saint Peter said, standing up. "Call Karl Franz, and summon all our forces! The Prideful Crusade marches to war once more!" he declared.
All-Hell, Circle of Wrath…
Akira lifted a Skullcannon over his head and threw it towards a group of Plagurebearers, crushing them. He was then blindsided by a Bloodthirster that roared as it raised its axe to cut his head in two, before the Devilman used Devilman Beam to blow its head off.
"Akira!" Andrew Woodhouse called as he raced over, having to kill a few demonic heroes along the way. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Mr. Woodhouse." Akira said as he stood back up, looking over the battle taking place. "God, this is a disaster…I never thought Thorn would work with the forces of Chaos, of all things."
"You're telling me." Andrew nodded, as he activated a comm. "Jeffery, what's your status?"
"My status is I'm fighting for my life!" Jeffery said as he cut the throat of an enemy demon as he stood on the banks of the boiling river. "Limbo and Lust are completely dark, and Gluttony and Greed only have scattered pockets of resistance, including the Devil Brigade in the entrance to Dis! We're doing what we can, but I have to be honest, there's no way we can hold them- AAHHUG!" the soldier cried as he was slashed by a katana from the side, falling to the ground as his left arm went flying.
"Jeffery?! What's going on?!" Akira called over the comm, as said soldier looked up at his attacker:
They were a humanoid dressed in a large leather coat with a dark military uniform underneath. However, large swords jutted out from each of his arms, and his face was of a demonic appearance with dark skinless flesh and an oversized jaw devoid of lips. His chin was pointed, and another sword grew from his forehead where his eyes would be, with the handle sticking out of the back of his head. He also seemed to sport a navy blue military hat.
"You know, I was aiming for your neck." the humanoid said. "You get paid enough for those skills of yours? Or do your bosses just see you as another expendable piece of s***?"
Jeffery hissed in pain as he got onto one knee. "You…you're bonded to a Devil, aren't you? Like Chainsaw M-" he said before the humanoid stabbed Jeffery in the right shoulder, causing him to yell in pain.
"I'm nothing like that piece of crap!" the Devil yelled, enraged. "There's no justice with someone like him around! F***er killed my grandfather, then cut me up three times, and now he thinks he can run away just cause our world is gone?! Bulls***! He'll get what's coming to him, but first…I'm gonna slice your a** up for pissing me off."
Jeffery looked up as he saw the humanoid raising his left katana to deal a lethal blow before he saw his knife lying on the ground, and a horde of demons and Warpspawn around him. "Akira, Mr. Woodhouse…it's been an honor." he said into the comm and he leaped out of the way of the attack, grabbing the knife with his remaining hand.
"Wait, Jeffery! Don't-!" Andrew pleaded as Jeffery took the knife and stabbed his own heart, activating its hellfire emitter as his body lit aflame.
"Oh s***-!" the humanoid realized as he dashed away as Jeffery's body exploded into a ball of hellfire, incinerating all nearby enemies. The Devil-human hybrid then looked back to see Jeffery's burning remains, ashes still flicking orange. "...Damn suicide bombers." the hybrid muttered as he went off to find more enemies to kill.
"...Damn it, Jeffery…" Akira growled as he balled his hands in grief and anger.
"Akira…we'll mourn our dead later. For now, we have to stem the tide as much as we can…before it's too late." Andrew said, his voice full of regret.
Nodding, Akira turned to where a horde of Pink Horrors were clawing their way towards them. "Alright, you Warpspawn, c'mon! We'll tear you into so many pieces, even Tzeentch won't be able to put you back together!" he roared as the two Dark Hell sub-leaders charged.
Meanwhile, with the Hero Alliance…
"Whoa…things are getting way out of hand." Jexi said as they watched the fighting unfold.
"And that guy with the swords is pretty rad." Pit said.
"Ugh, of course, that guy survived." Denji groaned.
"You know him?" Hope asked.
"Old enemy. Some yakuza who's bonded with the Katana Devil." Denji said. "He kinda hates me 'cause I killed his grandpa, who at the time, was a zombie cause of the Zombie Devil."
"Wait, he knows that and he still wants to kill you?" ZS asked.
"Yeah, he's an a**hole and an idiot." Denji replied. "And I should know, I outsmarted him the last time we fought."
"Yeah, but it looks like he's looking for ya." Zoro said.
"Yep. Do not wanna get involved with that train wreck." Denji said. "So…anyone got an actual plan?"
"We gotta meet up with any friendly faces around here." Mark said. "They won't last against Damien's forces by themselves, and we're gonna need all the help we can get."
"I'm sending camera drones out to find anyone still fighting, and…by George, look who it is!" Double D said as he presented a screen to the group, showing Akira and Andrew battling Damien's army.
"Dark Hell…we need to back them up as quickly as possible." Izuku said.
"Yeah. They look like they are struggling down there." David said.
"Let's go." Shantae said.
They floated right over the battlefield as the heroes quickly descended downward into the fray.
"Devilman! It's okay! We're here!" Izuku called out.
"Huh? Izuku, guys!" Akira realized as he beat down a Fiend of Slaanesh. "Glad you all got here!"
"Ah, so these are the people who broke the time loop in your world." Andrew said. "Hello, I'm Andrew Woodhouse, first sub-leader of Dark Hell."
"Pleasure to meet you. I see Akira has a good role model in Dark Hell." David said. "Seriously, Damien is just… Ugh…"
"That is a good summary of him, yes." Andrew allowed himself a chuckle. "That being said, we have to move fast. Damien's forces must be close to storming the next circle by now."
"I couldn't agree more!" Izuku said landing a kick to an incoming enemy.
"So, what exactly are we dealing with here?" Mark asked as he launched a Ki Blast at an Exalted Bloodletter.
"You mean besides the horde of demons, Warp daemons, and our traitorous soldiers?" Akira asked. "Well, we think a human bonded with a Phobia Devil killed Jeffery. There may be more, but we haven't encountered any."
"Oh, we know them. We're trying to avoid him."
"Alright, your funeral." Akira said. "Besides that…the other two sub-leaders of Dark Hell might be around. Makima was number two, but the other…well, I've fought them in the past. Tough bastard, but manageable."
"Alright, we'll keep an eye out for them." Mark said. "For now, are there any allies we can meet up with?"
"Other than the demons who were opposed to Damien to start with, we're running pretty low on allies." Akira said.
"Members of the Prideful Crusade as well as the Exorcist Corps are also providing support against the rising demon hordes." Woodhouse said. "More and more are arriving by the hour, but it's not enough to stem the flow."
"We gotta take out the bosses, Damien's cabinet. Maybe if they're gone, we can weaken these guys." Pit said.
"Yeah, but good luck trying to find them." Akira said. "Though knowing them, they'll probably find us."
"For now, we should make our way to the city of Dis." Andrew suggested. "There's a squad there guarding the entrance to the city. If they're still alive, we can meet up with them, and maybe use the gates as a rally point for our forces."
"It's our best shot for right now. Be ready for anything just in case." X said.
"Still, can't believe he brought in all those freaks from the Warp." Bakugo said, blowing up a few on his way through.
"I know, right?" Asta said cutting down a few of them.
"Even with the Four Greater Daemons dead, they still fight." Sakura said, cutting through a bunch.
"As long as the four Chaos Gods are around, the daemons of the Warp will just revive within the Warp." Andrew informed the group. "Unfortunately, unless any of you destroyed the soul, those daemons will probably come back in the future. Fortunately, it will be a while, so we won't see any of them today."
"Wow…way to kill our victory over those guys." Jexi said, taking down a number of them encircling him.
"It's the Warp, Jexi. Victories against them aren't common." Akira said. "But the fact that you beat them is more than anyone else can claim. You may not have killed those bastards, but you made them bleed."
"Yeah, better to take whatever small victories you can." David said as he shot up some of the demons coming at him, blood splattering on his face.
The battles continued to escalate as more and more daemons of the warp joined the fray.
"These guys are gonna overcome us pretty soon." Blake said. "And their numbers won't stop increasing."
"Just keep pushing through! Dis isn't much farther!" Andrew ushered the group forward.
Denji was transformed into Chainsaw Man, as he sliced up any enemies that had the misfortune of getting too close. However, he was jumped by a horde of Nuerglings, who swarmed the Devil Hunter and managed to pin his arms and legs, some of them dancing on his chest as they laughed.
"Denji, hang on!" Shirou said as he prepared to race over, before he saw something moving past him on the ground. "Is that a…shark fin?"
Just then, what looked like a guy with a shark head rose from the ground.
"So many daemons…time to….eat!" he called out as he started to rip right into the Nurglings.
"What in the…?" Mermista said.
"That's the Shark Fiend. Part of our Devil Brigade." Woodhouse said.
"Fiend?" Sachiko asked.
"They're devils who possess corpses. They aren't as strong as their actual devil counterparts though." Akira said. "That one however can morph into his full devil form."
"Glad he's on our side." Mermista said as she saw more Nurglings coming. "Nope, no more of you freaks!" she said, washing the Nurgling swarm away and causing them to crash into a horde of Horrors, where they exploded and infected the Horrors with their hidden pestilences.
The Shark Fiend continued to rip into the enemies before he realized just who the daemons had been attacking. "Lord Chainsaw!" he said happily as he swam over to him.
"What the…Beam? Wait, so…you remember me?" Denji asked.
"Remember you? You're acting like I forgot you to start with." Beam said. "I knew Lord Chainsaw would survive the Darkness Devil! He's the badass-est!"
"So…were you the only Fiend to make it out of the crusade alive?"
"Not exactly." Andrew spoke up. "We found him stranded on a barren rock, a few days after your world was destroyed. We're not sure of the specifics, but…it seems that some Fiends that died before your world was destroyed were revived afterward. We've found three so far."
"Three huh?" Denji said as they saw a figure beating down all the incoming enemy daemons with just his bare fists. "The Violence Fiend is here too."
"Denji! I knew you wouldn't miss this! Though you should be careful. These guys aren't for the faint of heart." he said, beating them down.
"Whoa, that guy's a heck of a fighter." Lei K said.
"His name's Galgali. And he's called the Violence Fiend for a very obvious reason." Denji said.
"Oh, looks like you made some friends." Galgali remarked. "Hi there! Like Denji said, I'm Galgali. Don't mind the mask, I have to wear it. Hope we can watch each other's backs out here."
"You're making pretty friendly conversation for a guy all about violence." Makoto said.
"Eh, not really a fan of Violence. I'm all about love and peace! Peace!" Galgali said as he was punching a Doom Knight in the face.
"Could've fooled me…" Ragna said sarcastically. "So who's the third one you guys found?"
"Well-" Akira started as a loud crash was heard above them as he looked up. "Ah, there she is."
"She?" Denji asked before realizing it. "Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.." he said, seeing a woman with eight arm legs pouncing on several of the enemy.
"Princi…the Spider Devil." Akira said.
"A Phobia Devil?"
"Her? You recruited her?" Denji asked. "Last I checked, she was loyal to 'She Who Royally F***ked Me Over, and Not In the Way I Wanted'."
"Then it's a good thing she knows that Makima working for Damien is fake." Akira said.
"And anyway, she's a Devil, not a Fiend. Who's the third?" Deniji asked. "Is…is it the Blood Fiend?"
"Blood Fiend? No, we haven't found a Fiend like that yet." Akira said before he turned to Galgail. "Galgail, where's Angel and Asa?"
"They went on ahead into the city." the Violence Fiend said. "Angel sensed something big inside. Could be one of Damien's cabinet members."
"Then we have to go find them." Akira said. "Jexi, can some of the Alliance members stay here and back up the Devil Brigade? These daemons aren't going to stop attacking just because we're inside."
"Of course. We were going to have to spread out anyway." Jexi said.
"I call teaming up with the shark!" Yang said as she ran into the fray.
"I uh…better go with her." Blake said following her along with Ruby and Weiss.
"If he gets worked up and tries to eat you, just punch him in the face!" Denji called out to them.
"Don't worry! I'm gonna ride him like a horse!" Yang called out.
"Hah…oh yeah. I did that once. Good times." Denji said. "Oh well…back at it!" he said, cutting back into the daemons.
"Huh…so everyone from Denji's world was insane." Emo remarked. "Good to know."
"Yeah…let's just leave them be." Jexi said as they headed further into the battlefield.
Meanwhile…
Two individuals crouched behind a wall, both of them panting and out of breath.
"A cakewalk, he said…a pushover, he said…" A high school-age girl with pitch dark brown eyes and black, purplish-tinted hair worn in two low twin tails murmured in aggravation. "I'm gonna sock that stupid Devilman in the jaw next time I see him, I swear to God!"
"Keep quiet, please. You'll alert it to our hiding spot." said a young, androgynous male with red hair with a halo floating above it and white wings on his upper back. "Now I wish I didn't say anything about that power surge."
"Yeah, I wish you'd shut up too!" the girl snapped at him. "How the heck are we gonna get out of this?"
"We'll just have to avoid it, and hope we can survive." the red-haired being said as they picked up the decapitated head of a demon and began eating it. "Ugh…disgusting."
"Don't eat that when I'm right next to you!" the girl said, slapping the head out of his hands. Just then, a large shadow of writing red mass and hands loomed over them.
P̸͕̚ā̴̦n̶̹̈d̶̞̊e̵̡̕m̷̨̅ö̸͎́n̸̪̈́ĩ̴͖ụ̸̚m̷̡͐ ̷̠̈́R̴̥̅ē̵͜g̶̨͝n̵̲͑a̶̙̓t̴͍̀!̵̪̆
"Crap, crap, crap!" the girl panicked as the two leaped away as a mass of hands smashed into their hiding spot, destroying it. The hands then went at the two again, only for the red-haired being to block using his wings.

"Yeah…I'm actually a devil though. But I wouldn't mind actually dying. Living can be a pain sometimes." Angel said.
"Not when I'm trying to live!" the girl said.
Y̴o̶u̸ ̸a̸r̵e̷ ̷m̷i̷n̵e̸,̸ ̸D̴e̷v̷i̷l̵ ̵H̴u̶n̴t̷e̵r̷s̸
The creature's one, unblinking eye flashed, as the two were suddenly surrounded by red-robed thralls and cultists that charged at them in a frenzy.
Just then, a massive form landed in front of them, before tearing the thralls and cultists in half with one claw swipe.
"Angel, Asa! Are you two okay?" Akira asked them, in his Devilman form.
"Akira, you jerk! This thing's not a pushover at all!" Asa said angrily. "Not all of us have super strength like you, we can't just bounce back."
"You have the power of the War Devil. One of the Four Horsemen!" Akira argued back. "Plus, given we are in a war, kinda feels like you have the upper hand in all this."
"Not against that!" Asa said, referring to the creature. "Why the hell did Damien make that thing a sub-leader?!"
"Well, technically it's the cult worshiping it, but yeah, it is weird." Akira said, before facing the monster. "Hey, big guy. Remember me?"
Y̴O̸U̷!̸
The monster summoned forth a dozen arms as they all converged onto Akira, before several projectiles destroyed most of the arms, Akira shredding the rest with his tail.
"While we're here, I'd like you two to meet a few friends of mine." Akira smiled as the Hero Alliance leaped into combat.
"ALOK!" Simon chanted, summoning Alighieri who thrusted his sword into the being's eye.
David jumps into the air as he undergoes Sapphire God: Armament Complete. "Min̨d i҉f̀ ͡I cu͏t̸ in̸?" David asked as he fired multiple ice crystals at the monster with Ebony and Ivory.
The Unspeakable screeched as it summoned more and more arms to try and tear the group apart.
"What the heck even is this thing?!" Flamberge asked, amputating some of the arms with her sword and keeping the rest at bay with her flames.
"The Unspeakable." Akira said.
"The Unspeakable?" Stoj asked.
"It's called that 'cause if you say its actual name…you'd die in horror and shock." Akira said.
"That's crazy!" Al said.
"Be glad I'm not sharin' it with you." Akira said. "But that name's really the only thing to worry about. Against ordinary people, it's a nightmare. For you guys…it's weaker than Ryo was."
"Then let's kill this thing!" Flamberge said.
"God of this World" (Self-Proclaimed) - The Unspeakable
The Unspeakable lashed out with its arms as it continued to try and maul the heroes, but Flamberge continued to be a thorn in its side with her fire and sword skills on one end.
"(The light of Blanctorche. Take this!)" Elisabeth said as she formed a bow and arrow of prismatic light before pulling it back and releasing it with a battle cry as it pierced through The Unspeakable before turning into a dove.
Y̵O̵U̶ ̴C̷A̵N̶N̷O̴T̸ ̶K̴I̸L̷L̷ ̵M̵E̷,̴ ̷M̵O̸R̴T̶A̵L̶S̷!
"You don't sound too confident about that." Mark remarked with a smirk as he tore the Unspeakable's hands off one by one.
"Tr͢y some of͏ t͜hi͟s!̧" David said as he swung at the creature with heavy sword swings. "Mi̶nd͢ if I ͢fin̡i͏şh th͝is ͏c̢low͘n o̸ff?"
"Go right ahead." Akira said.
"Here goe̸s͟!" David said as he fired a burst of energy at the creature, which got absorbed. Within about 10 seconds, the Unspeakable's body started to expand bit by bit until it was ready to burst. "Hỳper͟nơv͘a!" David said as he closed his hand, causing the Unspeakable to burst in a ball of compressed energy. "L̀o҉o҉ks͠ lik̨e҉ ͘t͟he ͞U͢n͝speaka͝ble jus̶t ̧became…u͝ns̶p҉o̷ke͠n͢.̸" he said as blood was splattering all over the place. "Oh,́ I'̵m ̀so gònn̡a̷ nęed́ ̛a s͟ho̷w͝e͘r̀ ̸áf͞t҉er tha̡t…͘"
"Gross." Angel said, wiping off the blood on his shoes with a piece of cloth.
"Allow me." Bloodless said as she used Blood Steal to absorb the blood.
"Why can't this guy tackle one demon without blood spilling all over the place?" Kokoro asked with a hand to her head as she chuckles.
"Yeah. Don't celebrate for too long. The Unspeakable will revive within a week of being destroyed." Akira said.
"Well, then if it causes trouble again, we'll just keep destroying it, time and time again." Hope said. "So, Akira, who are these two?"
"Oh, right. They're members of Dark Hell, our last two members of the Devil Brigade." Akira introduced them. "The Angel Devil, and Asa Mitaka, the War Fiend."
"A pleasure, I guess." Angel said.
"About time you people got here." Asa said. "We were about to be killed by that thing."
"Again, you have the advantage here!" Akira said.
"Yeah but…" Asa said as a Daemon was approaching. "Daemon sword." she called out as the daemon's body crunched and shifted and changed into a fleshy sword. "Thanks to the war, I can create weapons without needing to touch the material. Now I have at least some protection." she said as she picked it up.
"She can…create weapons?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"Phobia Devil's gain power the more the thing they represent is feared. With this war going on, the fear of war is spreading, giving her power." Akira said.
"Silver lining, I guess." Asa said sarcastically. "Anyways, we better get moving, unless you all enjoy getting swarmed up to your eyeballs by enemies."
"Right. Damien and his cabinet should be further ahead. Let's go!" Hope said as they advanced.
"So…it's true? Damien has bonded with Chaos Magic and has gone nuts?" Asa asked.
"Yeah. He thinks the Day of Rapture exists, and is willing to do anything to "save" the Demon Universe from destruction." Hope said.
"Even targeting our home universe to do so." Ace said.
"Lucifer managed to get him unseated as Demon lord of Pride, but he still kicked this war off anyway. We have to stop him before he's able to get to Cream and kill her." Hope said.
"Luckily, we have some time before then." Madoka said. "He'll need to reach the spiritual lift hidden in the Sky Universe in order to reach places like Heaven or the Palette. And he can't get to that until he passes through the barrier between the Demon and Sky Universes."
"Uh…will that barrier hold up against daemons?" Flamberge asked.
"With all of them coming out in droves, probably not long before they invade the skies." Madoka said.
"Then we still need to hurry." Hope said. "Hey, uh…where is this spiritual lift?"
"Uh…it's currently…present day Devaloka…" Madoka said meekly.
"Ace's homeland…is a spiritual lift?" Nami asked.
"To be fair, since the Sky Universe is mostly peaceful, we didn't think anything would be wrong with people living there. Plus there is a guardian stationed there." Madoka said.
"Who's not going to last ten minutes with a whole dang army knocking on the doorstep! We gotta move!" Eddy exclaimed.
"First Ragnarok, and now this." Spade said.
"Even so, no matter what lies ahead, we all will protect Devaloka and stop Damien's plans." Ace said.
The sound of a wall being broken down came as the Katana Man broke in.
"Too bad you all are about to become stains on the floor." he said.
"Uh…you don't wanna kill us. We didn't kill your grandpa. And we only know Denji by name only. We barely hang with the guy." Eddy said.
"Yeah…but I'm kinda on a hot streak right now." Katana Man said.
"Hot streak, what…?" Mark started to ask before he saw what was behind the hybrid: a trail of dead crusaders and exorcists lying in pools of blood.
"Besides, far as I'm concerned, you all are just as bad as him, if you're willing to put up with him. So…have fun in hell together!" he said, dashing right at them before being blocked by Zoro. "What the?"
"Get outta here. I got this guy." Zoro said.
"Got it!" Hope said as they all ran off.
"You got some…wait, you're that pirate hunter." Katana Man said.
"Never thought I'd fight a man who's fused with his weapon. This'll be fun." Zoro grinned as the two clashed.
"Yeah, I give 'em five minutes." Emo said.
"Against Zoro? I'd give that guy three." ZS replied.
"Well, that's one problem taken care of at least. Ace, is there any other way to get to Devaloka besides way of our ships?" Ichiro asked.
"There's no time to be asking that. The barrier is still holding. And…oh no!" Madoka said as they suddenly found themselves surrounded by Daemons.
"More of them?!" Kaibara asked.
"I told you guys if we didn't hurry we'd be up to our eyeballs!" Asa said.
"This is not looking good." Iida said.
Suddenly, there was a massive barrage of magic, as amulets, magic blasts and various other magic projectiles rained down upon the daemon horde, creating a massive hole in the daemon horde, as a certain group appeared in it.
"Hey, didn't think that we'd miss this, did you?" Kaguya remarked. "Geez, Yukari was right, that's a damn endless horde right there."
"Everyone!" Gus shouted to the Hero Alliance within the barrier. "Are you alright?"
"We are now! About time you guys showed up!" Lucy said.
"Yeah. Give it up for the Unmei Force Alliance!" Dan said.
"Unmei Force Alliance?" Pit asked.
"Yeah. They team up with Unmei Force, Future Seekers and Soldiers of Fortune. So they're the Unmei Force Alliance." Dan said.
"Hm, we're going to need to workshop that name a little." UF!Richard frowned. "But the good news is that we brought our own reinforcements, and so did the Future Seekers."
"They're further up, once Yukari and Magina figured out what was going on." Marisa stated. "For now, the Unmei Force and all of us in the Soldiers of Fortune will do here."
"A battle like this…" SoF!Sephiroth remarked, examining the daemons, before smirking. "It doesn't come every day."
"Alright, how long will it take until you guys can get moving?" SoF!Siege asked. "Because we'll hold the line for more than twice as long, even if it will be tough."
"We need to start heading to the Sky Universe before the barrier breaks." Hope said.
"If you keep them back for at least 5 to 10 minutes, we'd appreciate it." Jet said.
"Then we have our time limit." Erika stated, before she then summoned the team's Digimon. "I hope you are all prepared."
"Whatever it takes, Erika. That's as much as we will give and more." Kuro the Omnimon Zwart answered back.
"Indeed, be assured that you are aided by many friends. You have done oud kindly in the past… and it is merely fair to repay it here." Eclipse the Susanoomon declared.
"Heads up, they're coming at us!" Adam the Beelzemon BM shouted.
"Well, I guess we've got one thing to do, Siege." UF!Richard smirks, drawing his new blade.
"Time to do what we're good at." SoF!Siege remarked, before drawing his blade and guns.
Another horde of daemons roared as they charged onto the heroes' position.
"Holy s***, that's alot of Warpspawn." Asa gawked.
"Yeah…but not sure how much more of this we can…" Tsuyu said as a blast of fire hit the incoming Warpspawn, incinerating them.
"What the?" the group said as they saw a group of figures standing there.
"What the heck is going on here?" Jexi said.
"Who are you…" Mark said as he stopped as he looked at the newcomers.
"Come on? After all the time we spent? That kinda hurts, man." the leader said as the light shined down on the newcomers. The group saw them as the Occult Research Club.
"Long time no see, Mark." Rias said
"But…Indigo said…" Mark said.
"Yeah he can't restore memories…but if someone had nearly unlimited power close to a gods…well…who can say?" a voice said as Lucifer was seen flying downward.
"Lucifer? You did this?" Mark asked.
"Well…yeah. I totally did. Closest thing to allies you had in this Universe." Lucifer said. "All it took was finding each member on your entry list and restoring the memories from before they originally died."
Mark was speechless for a moment, before he smiled. "It's good to see you all again."
"Permission to rejoin the battle and alliance…boss?" Issei asked.
"Permission granted, Red Dragon Emperor!" Mark saluted.
"Team DxD is back, baby! Whoo!" Rainbow Dash-2 cheered.
"It honestly didn't feel the same without you guys around."
"Sorry we took so long to come back. Lucifer filled us in on the situation, so you don't have to infodump about it." Koneko said.
"Oh, so these are the old friends you were talking about?" Ash K. asked.
"Yeah. Rias and her Club made up the start of Team Chronicle." Hope said.
"When Superbia and his crusade attacked, we left to stop him. Unfortunately, we didn't win." Kiba explained.
"Didn't they just say not to infodump?" Asa questioned.
"Right. Ash, we'll explain everything later. You guys just need to get toDevaloka, fast." Kiba said.
"We'll help Richard and his crew handle these guys." Xenovia said.
"Much appreciated." Meiling nodded back.
"Well, supernatural for the win, I suppose." Chen quipped, before looking towards Shirone. "Hey, whites, what say we buddy up as fellow nekomata, eh?"
"Sure. Just try not to dump your share on me." the Nekoshou replied, as she unleashed Kasha, as the white-hot fire wheels tore through the daemons ahead.
"Hah! I could say the same back!" Chen answered back with a challenging tone, before she then manifested claws of darkness, as it caused her to cause explosions of dark energy that sliced the daemons in her way into ribbons.
"Well, it seems things are handed here." Lucifer said before they heard cracking from the sky above. "Barrier's about to break. Time to fly." he said heading straight up into the air.
"Don't worry about us! We got this in the bag!" UF!Eruza grinned, as she was deftly getting through the enemies, as her brother Taiga was crushing the larger daemons with powerful crushing blows.
"Got it." Jexi said as what was left of the group got into their ship and flew straight upward.
"Hang on Mastemon, we're coming!" Glimmer said.
Meanwhile, with Damien…
The Antichrist and his cabinet watched as the cracks in the barrier continued to grow, an army of daemons, cultists, and demons at their backs.
"We have about three minutes before the barrier breaks." Makima said.
"Good. And what about our other supporters?" Damien asked.
"They are in position. Ready to join us when you give the word." the Chaos Kin said.
"Good. I'm not taking any chances when it comes to this next part. We'll need more troops then there are stars in that accursed universe." Damien said.
"Your caution is advised." Trillion warned Damien. "While these daemons have most of the allied forces occupied, what remains is still no meager force. If there are any other preparations that you have made for this moment… Utilize then to their fullest. There are no second chances for this incursion."
"Right you are, Trillion." Damien nodded. "A lot can happen in three minutes, after all."
"My lord, we have reports that the Galaxy King is heading to our location!" an imp called out.
"Is it now?" Damien asked, before he turned to Sisyphus Prime. "It's time for your rematch. Bring them down to earth, then beat them even lower."
"At last, a proper battle!" Sisyphus laughed as he turned and leapt away, the ice under him shattering.
"He'll buy us enough time for the barrier to break…and for phase two to begin." Damien said as they watched as light peered out from the cracks. "We'll see how peaceful that little afterlife is when it's painted red…and how resolved those heroes are when they realize what's coming next."
