The Helltaker girls had quickly come to enjoy working for Izumi. They even got along with the Cherubs, bonding over how shoddily run Heaven and Hell both were, and offering Izumi and Charlie suggestions for future leadership and changes to the relams.

Well, expect for one.

In the case of Judgement? She seemed determined to have a rematch with Izumi, who she claimed cheated. Izumi paid it little mind, treating Judgement with the same care and respect she did the others, and Judgement took it.

She claimed that until she avenged herself, she was honor bound to aid Izumi, but the second the Gluttony princess let her guard down….?!

"Judge." Lucy sighed. "You haven't even bested Vortex in a fight yet. If an alpha Hellhound can beat you? I have no doubt a Princess of Hell would have much trouble."

Yeah, when Bee and Vortex found out about what had happened between their pup and Judgement? It had led to vortex challenging and through WHOOPING the Helltaker's girl butt in fatherly rage. Several times in fact,

Judgement held her tongue, but kept at her vow.

SIN

"You wanted to see me, Uncle Satan?" Izumi asked.

"Yeah, there's somebody important I want you to meet."

Satan then clapped his hands and the doors opened as Izumi turned and her eyes widened when a beautiful girl stepped in.

She had a very slight build and was of marginally above-average height. She had long light red/pale auburn hair kept in a loose braid with bangs reaching just past her eyebrows and two longer side bangs that framed her face. Her eyes were yellow with multiple red rings within them and she wore a white long-sleeved shirt, a black tie, black pants and brown shoes.

"Izumi, this is my own kid...the Demon of Conquest and Control...Makima."

Makima gave a bow, but Izumi (who wouldn't have really cared anyways), was shocked to see her uncle had a child of his own. Well, there was Damien of course, but why hadn't Izumi met her until now?

Wait.

A thought came to Izumi: There was no way Satan would've kept Makima away…Unless….

"Uncle Satan, did you pull a mom and adopt a human?" The Princess of Gluttony asked, needing to know.

"NO!" Satan growled, all of Wrath shaking as he denied that. "I WOULD NEVER! FOR YOU TO EVEN….!"

"Papa." Makima said. Instantly, the draconic demon calmed down in a second as Makima sauntered over to Izumi, a smile on her face. "Contrary to my appearance, I am indeed hellborn, princess. In fact, I am only a generation younger than the Sins. My sisters and I are…or rather, were, the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse."

…And suddenly it made more sense why Satan hadn't introduced them before.

"Yes, the ancient humans could not fathom the idea of women being reality warpers." Makima chuckled. "So, they genderbent and…took artistic liberties with us."

"I am so sorry for that." Izumi bowed, only to find her chin to be lifted and finding herself losing reality in Makima's golden eyes.

"…By Cain, you are beautiful." Makima smiled. "Possibly the most beautiful dog demon I'veever seen…and I do love dogs, so that is no small feat."

Meanwhile, Loona and Octavia felt a sharp twinge as the searing pang of jealousy rang through them.

Blitzo's Apartment

"Why do I suddenly feel the urge to kill a bitch?" the Hellhound asked, missing Blizto's pride at her 'first revenge want'.

Stolas' Palace Library

"…Dad? Can we curse someone?" Octavia asked her father from within their library.

"Do you have their name and or face?" Stolas asked, intrigued.

"…No." Octavia grumbled, her father following in suit.

"Then no." He sighed. "Sorry Via. Magic does have some limits. Unless you're Lucifer…possibly that Radio demon as well, you do need to know who you're cursing. Believe me…I tried."

And THAT little reveal led to a wonderful father and daughter chat over the bullies Stolas had later made pay when he got a grasp on his magic.

Back with Izumi

"Maki, sweetie. Papa loves you and you are his favorite little enforcer." Satan assured his daughter after he massaged his temple. "But you need to learn TACT!"

"I have, papa." Makima noted. "I was not foolish enough to make her pet right away."

Izumi blushed at that and was then stuck in a suprisinglky cute father and daughter argument.

SIN

"Remind me again why we're here?" Pandemonica asked the next day as she, Izumi, Cerberus, Charlie and Charlie's new girlfriend, Vaggie, a moth demon who was missing an eye, were at what looked like an abandoned studio.

"There's a lost demon child here. I could sense its energy." Izumi explained. "Cerberus?...Really need to figure out a new name for you."

"They are this way, my queen." The three headed dog demoness said. "And no need for such. We are just happy to help."

"Dad mentioned something about a Mr. Joey Drew," Charlie added. "Izumi wanted to come along because she felt those two things were connected."

"Daddy loved his cartoons." Izumi mused, remembering her in her human father's lap as they binged old cartoons before he got sick. "Vortex likes them too…as long as Boris isn't in them."

"I can see that." Vaggie noted, guessing Boris was, well, unlike Goofy? Not a welcome stereotype dog character; he just wasn't as charming as Goofy

(A/N: NO DISRESPECT TO GOOFY! HE HAS POSSIBLY THE GREATEST 1990s DISNEY MOVIE AND HIS CARTOONS WERE POSSIBLY THE ORIGINAL 'PARENTAL BONUS!' THIS IS JUST FOR THE STORY!)

"So, Zumi? What did you get up to yesterday?" Charlie asked.

"I met Uncle Satan's daughter." Izumi said, suddenly realizing Charlie was frozen in place.

"M-Ma-Makima's back?" Charlie asked, sweat dripping down her forehead. "I thought she was on earth making sure the HPSC actually stayed on track!"

"…I take it this…'Makima' is big around here?" Vaggie guessed.

"She's one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse." Pandemonica explained bluntly, making Vaggie share in Charlie's state as the Helltaker continued her explanation. "Satan's daughters, born a generation after Hell started. And apparently, around the age of Quirks began, as part of humanity evolving, she was sent to help guide and maintain the Hero movement. She can be messy, but from what we've heard, she's done a good job."

"D-did…Does Heaven…?" Vaggie started.

"The Arch-Angels, my dad's brothers and sisters do, but considering how the Exorcists have strayed from the original rules of the Exterminations?"

"Going after the eldest and most powerful sinners and Overlords, along with truly awful new arrivals and not just willy nilly." Izumi added.

"…And haven't been punished in a few centuries? Dad and mom think someone else took over while they're probably handling the bigger issues. So…not anymore most likely.…I….I'm…wary around Makima." Charlie admitted. "C-can we just focus? Please?"

Vaggie hugged Charlie as Izumi patted her friend on the shoulder. After a minute, they went about their way.

The studio was falling apart; having not been visited in decades. Old posters decorations decorated the walls and virtually every corner was plaster in ink.

"I smell them, Princess." Cerberbus suddenly called out. Izumoi and Charlie followed the three headed demon's directions and came across a machine of some kind.

"…What the heck?" Izumi asked.

"….I think this is some kind of…homunculous creator, but with ink." Charlie guessed. "…And not well maintained at all. No wonder this place become haunted and abandon…"

A clutter came from behind the machine, and the two Hellish princesses saw something cower. Charlie motioned for Izumi to step forward.

"Bendy?"

The little creature hopped up to his feet with a nervous look on his face. He looked like the spitting image of the cartoon character brought to life.

"Hey, it's okay, we're not gonna hurt you." Izumi gently said as she held her hand out.

Bendy still looked unsure but the look on Izumi's face radiated an aura of trust and comfort. Shakily, he took her hand and she smiled as she waved her fingers to create a portal back to Hell.

"Come on, you've been alone in this place long enough."

Pandemonica sighed. "Ugh...there's not enough coffee in the world to keep me up for the paperwork this is gonna bring."

Vaggie rolled her eyes. "Lighten up, at least this was an in-and-out job."

SIN

A few days later, Izumi was sparring with the son of two Overlords she had befriended; a demon boy by the name of Damien LaVey.

Damien had the traditional red skin with two darker red horns at the top of his head, the right-hand one having been broken off by his own hand. He also had a tail with a spade-like tip and maroon hair. Right now, he was wearing nothing but a white tank top and blue jeans with black combat boots while Izumi was wearing a green sports bra and gym pants with white sneakers.

Damien was a hot-blooded individual who was a die-hard anarchist. He enjoyed committing acts of arson for the sheer thrill of it while rebelling against authority. Despite his intimidating and aggressive nature, he actually was much deeper as a person. He believed love was the most powerful thing imaginable and also had very demure hobbies such as crafting and hairstyling.

Damien was also far from a one-trick pony, he had been bestowed powerful weapons by both his fathers that were once used by a legendary Half-Human, Half-Demon Hero. Right now, he was firing on Izumi with twin automatic pistols called Ebony and Ivory.

"Damn, you really get in the zone when you want to!"

Izumi was running on all fours in her Half-Kitsune form, skillfully weaving through the onslaught of bullets before flipping into the air and spinning to conjure a massive fireball, which she sent flying toward Damien.

The demon prince took the blast head-on, his resistance to fire doing most of the work as he traded away his guns for a large broadsword of brimstone and fire called Dante.

While the contrast between Damien and Izumi was like night and day, the two managed to find fun in the times they hung out with each other. It also helped Izumi was one of the few people Damien trusted with his personal secrets.

SIN

With a free day to herself but her friends busy, Izumi decided to visit someone she rarely did.

"Morning Grim!"

"Ah, Zumi! How ya doing?" Grim, the literal grim reaper himself, smiled.

"Not too bad. Are Junior and Mimi free?" Izumi asked. "I have a free day and haven't seen them in a while?"

"Funny ya should ask that." Grim beamed. "Mandy! Kids! Zumi's here!"

Two human like children raced forward; a boy in a reaper's cloak and a blonde girl. These where the children of Grimm; Grim Jr (he was the first kid, sue his father for not having a better name) and Mimimandy, or as she preferred to be called, Mimi.

Much like Izumi and Charlie, while still not for a while, they were detsined to take over for their parent one day. So, they mostly fought of the darkest aspects of the underworld and supernatural worlds; the kinds that the Eldricth family was supposed to maintain but more often not let run wild….altough there were a few that even they and Lucifer wanted little to deal with….Satan's one time aide and hopeful successor among them.

"ZU!" The siblings hugged Izumi, who hugged them back as a blonde woman stepped out.

This was Mandy; Grim's wife, Jr and Mimi's mother…and quite possibly the most terrifying woman in all of existence; you'd read right: She MARRIED DEATH HIMSELF!

"Don't be out too late or you'll regret it." Mandy warned coldly.

"Ah, don't listen to 'er!" Grim said. "You kids have fun now!"

"Your mom is scary..." Izumi muttered.

"You should have seen her when she was a child." Junior shuddered.

In fact, ALL of Hell shuddered.

Knightmare Lord A/N:

Not a very big chapter, but I wanted to give Mrotrax some lore to make since he's very good at that.

We have a few more crossover friends for Izumi; Damien LaVey from Monster Prom, Grim Junior and Minimandy from Grim Tales, Bendy from Bendy and the Ink Machine, and Makima from Chainsaw Man. These guys will actually be very prominent going forward. Trust me, you'll see them soon when we get to the UA Saga.

Mrotrax A/N:

I am so, so SO sorry for this chapter taking so long! Hope this was worth the wait.

Yes, Makima is getting involved. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. In all honesty, Makima was the hardest part to write; Chainsaw Man fans can guess why.

And we're throwing in Bendy and Grim Tales as well. Sorry for being vague; but I really wanted to leave whatever comes next as a surprise.

Have a great day, stay warm and safe!
