"What is this... accursed, wretched power?" The Devourer gasped, finally feeling real threat. He bounced back to his feet and struck Ran with his purple-sheen sword. "What have you wrought?"
"I merely tapped on an ancient source of magic:" Ran smiled, blocking the sword by the backbone of it. "The power of Inari Okami."
"Comical! There is no God helping you!" The Devourer complained. He retracted the sword and continued the offense, thrusting his blade to Ran's vital organs. "There is no holy presence near you."
"That is because of your twisted vision." Ran leapt to the right side of the Devourer. "You see the holy power as that of sin."
"Do not cloud my judgment!" The Devourer growled, firing a black orb of energy. Ran sommersaulted to dodge the energy orb, which exploded behind her with a crack.
"How long, Yukari-sama..." Ran silently looked to Yukari.
"John I need you to keep holding my hands-" Yukari began, but she couldn't make contact as John flew towards the dark angel standing by the Devourer. "Goddammit."
'What do you mean, I died?'
Isn't it obvious, you simpleton? Your life. It's over. You're on the other side of the living.
'Stop lying to me. I feel fine. See?'
That is because your spirit is in enlightenment. You will receive judgment soon and head off to either the heaven, the Netherworld, or hell.
'Ha, I already know my destination.'
What do you mean?
Yuuka's vision, 1500 years ago
"Bring in the prisoner."
A teal-haired reaper brought in a young, green-haired Youkai to the stand. The Youkai looked dignified, glaring at the reaper as the reaper brought the Youkai down to her knees. The Youkai snarled, and faced the judge.
"Name?"
"Kazami Yuuka."
"Species?"
"What?"
"I said, species."
"I don't know."
"Age?"
"I don't know."
"What do you know, then?"
"My name, what I'm wearing, what I had for dinner yesterday..."
"..."
"I had this one really good outside food called smoked ham. Apparently it's from a region called Europe."
"Any significant things that I should know about?"
"...none."
"Very well. Kazami Yuuka, accused of violently murdering approximately 4000 humans without proper reason in a single day-"
"6000, actually."
"...will be sentenced to eternal imprisonment in the bottom-most prison cell in Hell, the Hell of Blazing Fire."
"...how are you holding up?"
"Who the hell are you?"
"Shikieiki Yamaxanadu, newly appointed Yama of Gensokyo."
"You mean that purple robe-bitch is being replaced? Oh what joy."
"The sentence still stands."
"I know. I'm to rot here for hours on end. Goddamn, it's hotter than usual. Let me take off my shirt real quick."
"...keep your vulgar nudity to yourself."
"So, why is the great Yama of Gensokyo here?"
"I heard that some of the most heinous criminals of Hell hailed from Gensokyo. I wanted to study you to judge the outlaws of Gensokyo better."
"Outlaws? Hah! You don't know shit about Gensokyo. Folks over there are the nicest. They laze about, drinking and partying, having fun."
"Then they will be guilty of the deadly sin of sloth."
"...heh."
"The real reason why I've come down here is to make a deal with you."
"A deal, you say?"
"Yes. I need someone to customize me into Gensokyo so that all humans and Youkais can fear my presence."
"What are you, a dictator?"
"Silence! I am merely trying to keep order to that chaotic land you came from."
"So you need a tour guide."
"It's not a tour!"
"Aww, shut up. Working in Gensokyo is going to be the best part of your Yama life."
"...will you take the deal?"
"What's in it for me?"
"I will get you out of Hell until you die once more."
"And what happens if I die again?"
"Depending on your actions, your next destination will change."
"...so if I act good, Yama-momma will give me some pat on the back, some sweet candy, and send me up to heaven."
"Precisely."
"...I'm in."
Yuuka's vision, 500 years ago
"...Yuuka."
"Ah, Shikieiki."
"That's Miss Yamaxanadu to you."
"Whatever. Have a seat, let me prepare some flower tea for you."
"I actually came by just to say this to you."
"What is it?"
"...Yuuka... I tried... so hard..."
"What happened?"
"The Ten Kings... they rejected my plea... I can't get you out of Hell..."
"..."
"I tried everything..."
"...It's fine. I wasn't hoping for it anyway."
Pretty sad tale.
'It happens.'
...Tell you what. I'll grant you another chance.
'What?'
I'll trick those Ten Kings. You'll be given a full revival.
'You can do that? How-'
I'm your alternative. I can sacrifice myself to grant you another living.
'Hell, that means I owe you one.'
Of course you do. Come on, step through this door here, and-

"If that's the case, then Darkness will do the trick.", John said to Zommari as he was about to create a Corridor of Darkness.
From behind him, he could hear Yukari speaking, but couldn't quite make out her words over the fighting in the room.
At that moment, John decided that it would be best to quickly disengage and get closer to Yukari to hear what she said.
John spun around and sprinted off towards Yukari.
"What did you say?", John called out to Yukari as he ran towards her.

"A mistake only a mortal would make!!!"
I charged at him while his attention was towards the blonde. I pushed him outside.
"Space again, huh? Too bad you don't have a jetpack like your friend. Your move, mortal."
I charged the blade with light energy.

John couldn't help but smirk at what Zommari said and activated his thrusters.
As he flew backwards to the ship, he also created a spiked sphere of dark energy around himself and created two energy swords out of darkness.
John was ready to counterattack at a moment's notice, all while slowly retreating back to the ship.
Just as long as he could make it back into the ship's energy shields, he would be safe from all attack.

"Sariel?" Koishi started.
"Yes?" Sariel said.
"You keep going. I gotta do something." Koishi said, walking back the way they came.
"Like what?" Sariel asked.
Koishi turned her head, and made a small smile. "Gotta finish something." she then went out of Sariel's view, leaving the angel of death alone, where she sighed.
"She's gonna get herself killed." Sariel said.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Isaac stood up as the battle between Ran and the Devourer continued.
Isaac honestly didn't know what to do. All around him, everyone was fighting enemies that were on a level close to gods, leaving him in awe.
He had never seen anything like it. He felt that he had to somehow help them, but he didn't know how.
Isaac put away his burned out Plasma Cutter and reconnected his Stasis Module.
(Where are they? They were here just a moment ago.), Isaac thought as he tried to figure out what to do, but there was too much going on at once to form a good plan.

Koishi walked into the Devourer's room quite casually, her hands at her sides. She had a blank look on her face, making it unreadable for intentions.

Amidst all the chaos, Isaac saw Koishi enter the room with a blank expression on her face.
Seeing that he could not help here, Isaac ran towards her.
"Where did you guys go? What do you think we should do next?", Isaac asked Koishi.

SPARTAN Weapons Development Lab - Sector 4 - Prometheus Labs
"Oh please, it's the least I could do to be somewhat helpful." And so Robin grabbed the cart and started pushing...and straining.
*After many a moment where Robin asked himself why he was so determined to get the cart to Sector 3 and possibly a moment where Daniel may or may not have picked up a collapsed Robin and pushed the cart the rest of the way, the two finally made it back to Sector 3.

Sector 3 - Prometheus Labs
Daniel felt a little bit like laughing at Robin's effot to push the cart, but kept completely silent.
They soon arrived back in Sector 3 and had the cart ready for people to grab the guns inside.
Jack quickly ran over to Six and spoke, which could be heard by Daniel and Robin.
"The Pelicans, Broadswords, Longswords, Shortswords, Falcons, and Hornets are in the air, along with cargo transport. We sent everything. We already tracked and set their destination to Gensokyo, so they'll be there within a couple of minutes. While we fight down below, they'll be death from above. I also took the liberty of gathering Spartans for the mission. We are ready when you are, Sir.", Jack said to Six in a formal tone.
"Good. Tell them to each grab a weapon and report to Sector 2.", Six said to Jack.
Jack contacted the Spartans on his communicator and quickly assembled them into the room. There had to be at least 30 of the finest Spartans wearing GEN 2 MJOLNIR armor standing in line, grabbing the FAFNIR weapons from the cart.
One thing was obvious, they were prepared for war.
