Since Dante defeated Pariah Dark, the Ghosts had been leaving him alone. Meaning they left Amity Park alone. Only some daring ghosts haunted the town, one being Technus. Unlike most others, he doesn't stay undetected. But that is on his own – loud – volition.
"I, Technus-"
"Dude, it's Midnight! Stop yelling!" came Dante's voice instantly.
Technus flinched hearing him and started to look around. He found an angel, but it was not the Dante he is familiar with. This guy's wings were dark gray, he wore black and red clothes that yelled 'rebellious punk' and he wore a hood. "You're not Dante."
"Oh Technus! I was just in Hell for a few hours." said the angel. "Don't you recognize me?"
"Dante?" He asked. "But... I thought that Purge isn't for a few more months."
"Yeah, it isn't. Put I got kicked out of Heaven, I had to check out Hell." said Dante. "Was cool all things considered. I even met other Fallen Angel."
"Other! You're a Fallen Angel!" With that, Technus flew away, back to the portal.
Skulker was searching for his mechanic. According to Klemper of all ghosts, Technus decided to go into the Angel's town. After he destroyed Pariah Dark with ease, such move is seen as a second suicide, even when Dante promised he won't end ghosts willy-nilly. So Skulker was in front of the portal, considering if he should wait or go search for Technus. That question became meaningless when Technus flew out.
Skulker grabbed him mid-flight. "Technus! What is with you!"
"It is Dante! He is a Fallen Angel now!" said Technus. "Imagine what he did to deserve that!"
Skulker let go. "This... is bad."
"I warn the others!" decided Technus. "He spoke well of Hell, for all we know this corrupted his Morales."
"Including his 'rule' not to end ghosts for nothing." said Skulker. "Good thing the kid doesn't go into the zone..."
When a ghost did dare to show themselves, some of Amity Park – namely the Christians and Satanists – watched with anticipation. They had not seen much of Dante for a few days. While their Guardian Angel – albeit some consider him a murderer due to what apparently happens in Hell – can be seen to just fly around Amity, the sky had been empty for days. One ghost attacks the Fenton's, then Dante disappears.
The population of the town noted the Fenton adults weren't a fan of Dante – for the longest time they thought he was a ghost, until Pariah's invasion in fact – so some assumed they did something to the angel. They claimed they did nothing to the angel. They claimed they were busy looking for their youngest child in fact. Daniel Fenton was not claimed missing as he returned shortly after. Days later, Jasmine confirmed her family had nothing to do with Dante's lack of appearances.
They just hoped he'll show up when the next ghost appears, which did happen.
"That is not Dante!" yelled one member of the Church of Dante. News Flash, Danny has his own cult now.
The dark winged angel just caught the ghost – Lydia – in an angel rope. "I am Dante! I just, uh, had a make over." he told the cultist. "Happens when one falls."
"So... you're a Fallen Angel now?" asked the cultist, regretting his life choices for a hot few seconds. "What about your Purges?"
"Won't kill, now I have to survive them once a year." admitted Dante. "In that case... I don't want to see anyone of you down there."
"So you will still protect the town. Good." The cultist was very relieved. He walked to his brothers of faith.
"Jonah! You just talked to Dante himself!" pointed one out. "You didn't ask if he met one of the Sins! Or one of the Archangels!"
Funnily enough, he did meet some of both groups. Not the Archangel Daniel, though.
Mammon is a cunt and Michael isn't much better. Albeit the later is just chronically overworked and lets this out on others. (He pities Gabriel.)
