"Alright. Going in." Nitori announced briefly before opening the hatch to the engine and crawling in. Even the slightest of glance would grant X the amazing sight of Nitori's juicy behind. "I have to reiterate though; pressing the wrong button or pulling the wrong lever will result in me possibly dying in here due to rapid heating. Please pay attention and if you're not clear on something, ASK. Got it?"

The sight of Ciel battling... no, being pummeled by this mysterious purple assailant was too much for Kongou. Tears streamed down her eyes as she witnessed one of her first friends in the Western hemisphere beat up with no apparent explanation other than an unspoken thing between the two. For a second or two, as the purple attacker walked towards Ciel to possibly finish him off, Kongou stared on in a horrified daze, until she leaped into action, standing in between the two in determination.

"I- If you're going to kill him, you'll have to get through me first!" Kongou exclaimed, staring at her enemy with determined eyes. "Stay away or I'll make you stay away with my main cannons!"

Lujuria was running. She was told to, so that's what she did. She wasn't given how far she needed to go. However, knowing that Isaac had the means to summon her back to him when the time is right, she just ran in the opposite direction.

She stopped to check her bearing: A skate park to her left, a liquor store to the right. She was still rather deep inside the city, which meant she was exposed to the threat of the Reaper forces. She needed to keep running, but mindlessly sprinting around like jack rabbits aren't going to get her anywhere. Perhaps finding the map of the city would help...

She felt something behind her. Something ominous and dangerous. Could just be a hallucination, but demon senses never lied.
She quickly turned around to feel intense heat. Demonic reflexes allowed her to quickly duck, saving her from certain death from a fiery sonic boom which continued onward and struck the walls of the liquor store to her right. Quickly looking up, she faced her assailant.

It stood tall above Lujuria, almost nine-feet tall, added to the fact it was hovering off the ground. Ethereal flame held this Maiden of Flame together, bound by armor stained black from soot and burns. It had a great two handed scythe, almost reaching the ground as a featureless black shroud stared down at the embodiment of Lust.

"..." Lujuria stared upwards to look at the towering being, but she couldn't dawdle there for long, for the tall Reaper moved at a blinding speed, swinging its' weapon of choice down. Thankfully, her demonic reflexes still held as she dashed to the left. Keeping her body low, she evaded the next two, three strikes before bolting off to the right and keeping distance.

"This thing..." Lujuria grit her teeth. It was leagues stronger than the other Reapers she witnessed, and it bore extreme prejudice against her. Before she can catch a breath, her assailant dashed with an incredible burst of speed and, before Lujuria can completely evade it, slashed and struck her target.

Crimson blood was shed from the deep wound across Lujuria's left sides. Sharp pain blinded her and knocked her out of breath as she staggered, but she could not keep her guard down. Clutching the gash with her right hand to inhibit the bleeding, Lujuria fared better for the next flurries as she expertly dodged the vicious blades, continuously trying to gain distance.

As Lujuria tried to retreat, the Maiden of Flame charged forward to pursue her, this time switching from a flurry of attacks to a powerful diagonal swipe with her scythe. Not expecting such a sudden surge, Lujuria was struck again, this time a nasty slash across her right shoulders. Sharp pain blinded her as Lujuria collapsed to her knees.

“Is this… the end…?” Lujuria asked herself as her assailant loomed over her. If she had all of her power… if she wasn't enslaved by Sebastian still, she would've been able to crush the opponent… but alas. With her newest prey on its knees, the Maiden of Flame menacingly clutched her scythe in both hands as she stared down at her opponent for what felt like an eternity before speaking in what could only be described as a whisper garbled and distorted by multiple voices speaking in unison.

“Let the Flame purge your wretched soul, Demon.”

After speaking, the Maiden of Flame raised her scythe up into the air as it erupted into flames, and cleaved downward with all of her might in an attempt to cleave Lujuria straight down the middle.

No, this can't be…

Lujuria felt power seeping away from her as the fiery scythe coursed itself down towards her. Every millisecond felt like countless hours in that moment as Lujuria closed her eyes and thought, thought of her upcoming fate and what she would lose…

Isaac… she met him that fateful night four months ago. Ever since then, the two were together; no matter where they were. He was a real good friend… and possibly more in Lujuria’s mind. How heartbroken will he be when he finds out that she’s dead?

Lujuria opened her eyes suddenly. Instinctively and unwillingly, Lujuria reached out her hand towards the incoming scythe blade, as if she seeks to stop the blade. When her skin and the blade collided, a huge energy boom occurred, blasting the Maiden away and extinguishing the flame that made up her flesh. The purifying flame of the scythe contacted Lujuria, which instead of purging Lujuria’s soul, instead incinerated the spiritual conduit of Sebastian’s enslavement; and the result of its’ forced termination caused the bond to explode, causing the ethereal flame inside the armor to snuff out.

Lujuria remained victorious. However, if she did not find a way to heal her wound or siphon some life essence soon, her physical body would die; her spirit left to wander the pandemonium for centuries before she gathers enough life energy to reincarnate.

In a short distance, the remains of the Maiden of Flame laid cold. However, Lujuria could see the tiny spark of concentrated life essence; so saturated that it will not only rejuvenate Lujuria, but transform her into her fully powered form.

“I see that you still have a spark of energy left.” Lujuria said to the cold metallic plates and put her hand on one of them. Siphoning the life essence from the deceased Maiden, Lujuria muttered as she began undergoing dramatic transformation shrouded by a pink and black swirling light.

“I’ll put those energy to better use.”

X already figured the potential problems if he pulled the wrong lever, after all it is a large engine. If he so much as makes a small mistake and the engine flares up, then things will get really hot really fast for Nitori. Something he just can't allow. So he already knew the risks involved with this. "Yes. I am aware Nitori. If I make any mistakes you will be at serious risk of death and I can't afford that to happen due to my moral code." X spoke as he then got ready to follow instructions, barely blushing at the sight of Nitori's ass.



Barcelona | Spain

After Add had attacked Ciel with a barrage of punches and kicks before teleporting above him and slamming him into the ground before teleporting away. Once a good distance away from him he began to walk back towards him with a hand on his hip. Add was clearly proud that he managed to seemingly take down this half-demon so quickly. For he is now able to capture and take him back to his lab. However as he began to approach him, the girl Add saw in the alley with them had stepped in between the two.

Seeing this Add got a rather annoyed and displeased look on his face as he tilted his head slightly to the side. He didn't seem to care about Kongou's threat towards him, rather he was now more worried about Ciel who was beginning to stand up again, with Ciel's wounds healing rather quickly. Though Add was able to take down Ciel once, he didn't want to deal with two people at the same time. Mostly because it'd just be too troublesome. This prompted him to speak.

"Hey I told you to stay out of my business. I'm only here for what that man you're with has in his possession. He has something that I really have been looking for. So... step out of my way before I decide to take away my 'never hit a girl' promise I made when I first came here."

Washington D.C | Palutena's Palace in the Sky


"And so, the last pawn fell to the gathering" Midna said dryly while watching the projection "And every minute we waste is another minute that freak gets stronger" she spoke while trying to gather energy on her fist, her eyes were focused on the projection as she was trying to see the exact location of the place "All right, got a location" she smirked while opening her hand for a moment, for a moment nothing happened as some black particles appeared on her palm, but the moment she closed her hand, orange sparks were released, two portals of twilight appeared, one small and one big, yet another portal appeared on the vicinity of the area.

Toriel was studying the skeleton being and the magic that surrounded it "Nechromancy of superb category, for so many creatures to perish and not overload the user´s energy, that tower holds something far stronger and dangerous" she spoke and closed her eyes "For what I know of human mythology, that being is a representation of the Grim Reaper, that alone is already something we can´t kill since death is part of life"

It was then that the goat monster noticed Frisk following her "What is it child? do you need something?" her motherly nature kicked in.

Little Frisk was surprised to see that she had left an apartment to suddenly enter somewhere that.... well that wasn't an apartment. She looked around for a moment before she noticed Toriel speaking to her When she was asked a question, she responded by giving a firm and determined look in her eyes. She lifted her stick like a mighty weapon and responded. "Frisk Help!"

Washington D.C | Julius's Car - En Route to City Outskirts

Papyrus may have been confident, but he wasn't foolish. He took the neckless when it was offered and put it on to keep himself protected. "Nyahaha. Don't worry about me human. I know this death character we're going up against is strong. But I'm The great Papyrus. And if theres one thing I've learned, It's that you can do anything if you really really try. So if we work together we'll be fine." He said reassuringly so the man wouldn't' worry about him anymore.

Washington D.C | Palutena's Palace in the Sky

When Midna spoke Palutena had nodded. Palutena was already preparing something. In fact that's why she brought everyone here. To make a plan. In fact what Julius was doing was a part of her plan already. She just needed to tell Midna and the others.

"Now wait Midna. Don't just rush in. After all I brought you all here for a reason other than just sitting around. For we do have to make a plan of action before we do anything. I wasn't just staring and viewing what was going on. I was analyzing. Coming up with a plan. I needed info. More info than what my men could gather. In fact I already have all the information to formulate a proper plan." Palutena spoke as she summoned her staff which was rather large and ornate. With it she slammed the bottom of it onto the ground. Immediately a ring of gold energy formed on the ground below everyone in the room.

"Before there was a large amount of creatures of varying power and one larger stronger one. Now there is only one highly powerful being, but even with the increase in power. It's still just one target, and yet he's putting all his power into some kind of spell to summon something. However there is a barrier of sorts around it. We can't just enter there with teleportation, for this barrier is blocking magic it seems. Julius and Papyrus are on foot, and I can assume that Julius has the power to break this barrier for us. He's probably aware of it as he seems to have experience with this being. So Midna, and Toriel. You both have magical prowess. I can feel it. Julius will need your aid in breaking this barrier. So please. I need you both to go and aid him. The glowing rings below you will help send you there as fast as you can imagine. Now. While you and Toriel go and help Julius Midna. I'll be prepping my army and providing support. Trust me. I'm preparing to go into battle as well, but as a goddess I must be properly prepared." Palutena spoke as she walked over to Pit, before leading Pit over to Frisk.


Once next to Toriel, Palutena knelt down to eye level with Frisk. That's when Palutena smiled and patted Frisk's head gently.

"I heard you said you wanted to help? Are you sure...? This... being is really strong and really dangerous. I'm not sure if a child should deal with such matters, but if you really want to help... maybe Pit can take you to the armory and help 'prep' the soldiers? They could use a good motivator." Palutena spoke calmly with a gentle smile as she then stood back up and looked at Toriel as if wondering if it'd be okay if Frisk did that.


Hearing this prompted a pretty interesting reaction from Palutena.
"Wait. Lady Palutena... are you suggesting I babysit...?"


"What? No no. I'm not saying you should babysit. Rather... you keep an eye on the child and make sure nothing bad happens to her."

"But Lady Palutena that's-" Pit was speaking before he was cut off by a rather stern look from Palutena. One that made Pit shut his mouth almost instantly as he stood up straight.

Once that was settled, the Goddess turned back to Frisk and spoke. "So...? How about it. I could even make you Pit's temporary boss."

The only thing going through Pit's mind was 'Why me?'



Washington D.C | City Park

Once Papyrus was ready, he seemed to continue to be really optimistic about things. This... kinda got on the Belmont's nerves as he just sighed and continued on into the woods...



Meanwhile where Death is, the being of death lifted both hands into the air as a series of runes formed on the ground... with the orb of energy he was forming above him with his scythe releasing small blasts at 5 different points in the field. Namely these smaller blasts when struck caused what looked to be a pentagram of energy to form on the ground. With a small rift opening in the center, and from it what seemed to be several blueish black shadows came flying out and into the forest. Searching for a target as they rushed through the thick forest. They already have a target... Julius and Papyrus, however from their location they cannot see or feel these strange shadows approaching them.

Eventually Nitori disappeared completely into the machine, her bare feet making soft, resonating thunk against the metal plating of the interior of the engine as she climbed into the core.

"Okay, you should see the blue lever. Pull it to the 1st mark where it says LO." Nitori's heavily distorted and muffled voice emanated from the inside. "Again, blue lever, 1st mark."

Barcelona | Spain


"Y-y-y-you think I'm scared of you?" Kongou managed to respond even though she was indeed scared of the purple-themed man in front of her. Her main 41cm guns are jammed and needs fixing from the equipment fairies before being able to fire again, which meant Kongou will have to buy time... which she didn't have a lot of. Come on, hurry... Kongou muttered under her breath before looking straight at Add. Little does he know, Kongou still has something up her miko dress sleeves even without her weapons... "Come on! Hit me! I dare you!"

Chara's Home | Cologne | Germany


Meanwhile, underneath the trash-ridden floor of Chara's home, a certain demolitions expert was humming a tune while working on her 'splosives. The basement of Chara's home... it wasn't known to the owner herself, even though Tina was living in it for quite a while now. It's astounding to see that Chara is so oblivious that she doesn't even react to the occasional booms beneath her floor, and is surprised every time Tina magically appears in her house asking some questions.

"Twinkle twinkle little bomb, how I wonder what you BOOOOM!" Tiny Tina hummed as she completed her latest addition to her favorite explosive: Mushy Snugglebites. According to Tina herself, the lady's got a gut full of dynamite and a booty like pow, but with the new addition of shrapnels that also explode once the main part blows up, the tiny pow will become a PIDDLY POW! "Daaaaaaayum, girl! You lookin' SMOKIN HOT! Now I just need'ta-"

Then Tina heard the door opening from above. Chara's back home! Tina for some reason liked Chara; she had just the right amount of murderer and psychopath in her that reminded Tina of the vault hunter friends she have. Hearing the homeowner's arrival, Tina quickly ran upstairs and slid in the view of Chara. "Sup, sucka? I just got done makin' some fiiine ass modification for Mushy Snugglebites. Let's go up to the rooftop and SET IT OFF!"

Chara jumped noticeably at the sudden appearance of Tina. "You...!" She looked confused for a moment as she processed what she just said. Mushy Snuggle- what? Set it off? Rooftop? After repeating those three things a few times she finally put two and two together. She wants to set off an explosive on my roof. "Sure- I- wait no! Er, I mean-" Chara bit her lower lip because she wanted to see something explode but she needed to not draw attention to herself. Or even her. That thought confused her even further than her own conflicted feelings about letting Tina set off the explosive. Why should I care? She just pops in every once in a while... I don't really know her that well and I don't think I should- Her thoughts changed track at that point. Maybe I should get to know her better... maybe we could be... friends?

"...Ok. But we're not setting it off here. There's a lake north east of here that we could go to."

X listened to Nitori's instructions as he looked at the lever. Seeing it he quickly did as he was told as he pulled the lever to the 1st mark for her.

"Okay Nitori I did it. Now what?" X spoke down into the machine to Nitori.



Barcelona | Spain


Add was about to just walk right past Kongou and towards Ciel who he noticed was beginning to get back up. However when Kongou continued to threaten him. At this point it was not just annoying, but somewhat adorable in a way. Glancing back up at Ciel, Add looked back at Kongou as he leaned forward. As if to whisper something... when he suddenly grabbed her by the hand. His normally invisible Nasod Armor flaring up briefly as if indicating that they are charged. Add was preparing to hold her hostage as he prepared to quickly put her in a choke hold.

"I think it is better I stay with you and see what the soldiers can do" Toriel spoke "We might need them to be in small squads that are in measured distances so they are far enough from large Area of effect attacks, but close enough to know how their teammates are doing" she offered

Midna on the other hand was already searching for something in the small portal, it took her a minute or two until she took out the shard of a mirror "I may need to have this close" she spoke to herself and then formed some weaponry, only to dissolve them again "All right, I´m ready for the journey" she looked at Palutena.

Frisk didn't seem the slightest bit disturbed by the mention of powerful enemies or the dangers that lie ahead. If anything her eyes burned with courage and passion, something one wouldn't' expect from a child her age. However the goddess seemed to have convinced her to go with the one called Pit instead of heading into battle right away. She gave Palutena a toothy smile and solutes her before answering. "I'll take good care of him ma'am!" she promised her before giving the boy with angel with angel wings the thumbs up. "Mommy look I got my fist real job!"

Washington D.C | City Park

Papyrus followed his new friend into the park, trusting that he knew which way to go. He couldn't help but notice him sigh as they went inside the park. ("Poor guy must be nervious. I'll have to be extra brave for the both of us.") He thought to himself as they wandered in deeper into the park.
