Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army (remake)


Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army, also known as "Konjiki no Gash!!: Mamono no Kakumei-gun (金色のガッシュ! !:魔物の革命軍)" and "Zatch Bell!: Mamodo Revolution Army" is a Zatch Bell! / Konjiki no Gash (Bell)!! fan fiction that I created. This fan fiction takes place directly after the manga, more specifically after the one-shot Konjiki no Gash!! Gaiden manga. It takes place a whole year after the Demon Battle of the third millennium (200X A.D.) has started. 27 years later, an evil organization called the Demon Revolution Army is formed. This Revolution Army plans on overthrowing the kind King Zatch (Gash) Bell and put Demon World into chaos. Heroes, including Raiden Bell and Rain Bell, who are the (theoretical) sons of King Zatch (Gash) Bell and Queen Patie (Penny) Bell, as well as Zeon Bell (now a good demon) and his Demon World Military have successfully defeated the Demon Revolution Army but with some costs of good lives. However, Dr. Zulu, the lone survivor of the Demon Revolution Army and former seventh Death General, attempted to conquer the Human World of the present time and Demon World of the past time. However, the heroes managed to stop Dr. Zulu twice, bringing peace back to the past and present. Some time after returning back to the present...

This is a remade version of the original Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army fan fiction. The remake's storyline is similar to the original but written differently with some major changes to the story but still flows along with the original storyline. In this fan fiction remake, I will be using Japanese names and Japanese terms instead of their English counterparts.

Chapter 19: Armageddon is Rising!


NOTE: This chapter is a remade version of Chapter 15-8 "Armageddon" of the original Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army fan fiction series.

Recap


[Insert random recap music]
Zecross and his crew, including the Four Great Demon Lords of the Netherworld, broke out of the Netherworld along with an army of evil dead demons and devils. While demons and devils were creating a havoc in Spirit World Kingdom, the Four Great Demon Lords battled against the King of Spirit World Kingdom, God of Death, and Supreme God of Spirit World Yama (a.k.a. Enma), the archnephalem (angel-demon hybrid deity) that stopped Zecross' chaotic battle in the Demon World. The God of Death was successfully killed by Lucid of Pride and Zecross absorbed the Supreme God's soul, transforming Zecross into an archdevil, a God of Evil. Zecross became the new Supreme God of Spirit World as "Neo Zecross." He and his crew invaded Demon World to commence an apocalyptic war after resurrecting all the wicked dead demons including his former comrades. Armageddon is rising in Demon World...

Scene: Capital City of Demon and everywhere else (late evening)


[Insert random battle music]
Many knights of Demon World Military's Knight Division were already fending off the Netherworld Army as much as possible but were powerless against the risen army led by the Great Demon Lord Lucid of Pride. Towns and cities around Demon World were attacked by devils and resurrected demons of evil. No matter how much the military knights were fighting, the enemy army's units kept increasing rapidly as Spirit World's New Supreme God Neo Zecross kept reviving fallen units and resurrecting more from Spirit World. Belphebub of Gluttony and Sloth was roaming around a town, devouring living beings. Demons are unable to harm the giant, obese cyclops, even when Belpehbub is being slow and lazy. Belphebub is tanking those offensive demon spells like nothing. Asmon of Luck and Greed was snooping around towns and cities, stealing female demons and valuables he observes. Demons were also unable to stop the giant troll from wreaking havoc. As for Leviasatan of Envy and Lust, he had his own agendas and he's making his way to an ocean in Demon World.

After Military Commander Zeon Bell assembled all of his three major divisions, which included most ninjas, medics, and some knights including their division leaders, and brought along the militia of his nephews and friends, Commander Zeon asked the Knight Captain, "What parts of the world are attacked?" As the Knight Captain Black Knight was dashing through the Capital City, he said, "Mamonokin Village is under attack by an unknown red giant. A giant cyclops was also sighted at Behemolith Town and a giant reptile was sighted near Siren Beach. There are a lot of criminals in black clothes and strange ones causing a riot in those cities and according to my partner Fukurō [フク口ウ, "Owl"], more keep showing up out of nowhere." Ninja Captain Kyanchome said, "This is insane. We just got through a war and there's another? Commander, your suggestion?" Commander Zeon said, "When we were contacted by a rebel army leader we fought, he said that there are devils and archdevils among his brother's army." Knight Captain Black Knight and his Vice Captain Earth were either shocked or wondered, "Archdevils?" Commander Zeon said, "You guys have read Demon World mythology, haven't you? They may be those kinds: The Wicked Gods that were in our mythology." Vice Captain Earth reacted in shock, "No way! Captain, what should we do?" As the Black Knight was thinking, he spotted his owl partner Fukurō flying in the air, "Hmm?!" His owl partner said to him, "Black Knight-sama, Black Knight-sama, the enemy are heading to the Demon Capital from the northeast. Hoo!"

Ninja Vice Captain Pancho wondered, "This is crazy. Just how many are there?" Commander Zeon said, "Darn it! How many units are there?" Fukurō lead the group towards the northern border and said, "Over thousands... No... ten thousand, at least! They keep appearing out of nowhere and are heading for the Capital. Hooo-hoo-hoo!" Commander Zeon said in frustration, "Darn it! How about our Royal Knights? Any luck?" Fukurō responded in sadness, "Most were apparently killed by the other villains. There's one fighting a big enemy, but..." Commander Zeon said, "If my Royal Knights are still alive, we need to aid them." He then improvised a plan, "Alright, this is what we'll do, but it will be risky and survival will not be guaranteed. Captain Black Knight, Vice Captain Earth, back up anyone at Behemolith Town and hold off the enemy. Captain Kyanchome, Vice Captain Pancho, same thing but at Mamonokin Village. I know you're new to this Pancho, but can you do that?" Vice Captain Pancho said, "I'll do my best." Head Nurse Tio decided to join with them, "I'll go with you two. I don't want my family at risk." Pancho and Kyanchome wondered, "Mom?"/"Tio?" Tioga wondered, "What about me?" Nurse Tio responded, "Stay with Rain-sama and the others. We'll be okay." Tioga got a bad feeling, "Would you?" Captain Kyanchome said, "You can count on us, pumpkin." Head Doctor Dannydecided to party up the other team, "And I'll back up the Knight Capt. and Vice, but I want all of my other docs and nurses to support the Commander and the army." Commander Zeon said, "Alright."

After the selected warriors split paths, Nekolas wondered, "Hey, what about us? Aren't we going to do something?" Commander Zeon said, "You stay with me." Prince Raiden Bell wondered, "But what about whatever is on the beach? If we're talking about water here, I have the advantage. Me and my pals can head there." Princess Koruru Bell wondered, "But Raiden-chan?" Nekolas said, "I'll protect Rain-sama at all cost." Princess Koruru and Prince Zeon didn't like this idea but Prince Zeon thought it would have to do, "We are going to be fighting thousands of criminals. I thought you would have preferred that but, I trust in your abilities. Just be careful." Raiden wondered, "I might regret not choosing a thousand plus men but taking out a giant beast would be as satisfying." Commander Zeon said, "Just don't be reckless. Magic may not work against them from what we heard." Raiden said, "We'll just beat them to death with our fists then. See ya'. Haria-chan get us out of here. Rain-sama, get on." King Rain climbed on his brother's back, saying, "Unu." Nekolas picked up Tioga and said, "Let's go, little missy." Tioga giggled a second later being picked up on Nekolas' shoulders. Haria said, "Okey-dokey. Uruku! Oru Uruku!" After the demon children separated from Demon World Military at high speed, Princess Koruru became worried, "But dear, wouldn't it be dangerous for them? Maybe I should go with them too." Commander Zeon stated, "The entire world is in danger. We could all die so we have to fight trying. However, I trust in their abilities after what they did. Besides, I need you more than ever Koruru. With your power, our soldiers will be invincible against the enemy." Princess Koruru thought to herself with a slight blush on her cheeks, he really does care about me.

As the military seen the sight of the Netherworld Army, Commander Zeon said, "Alright men, and I know some of you may be new here, but we'll hold back against the enemy with our power." Among the Knight Division, Knight Infantry Zeil reacted in shock, "Holy crud, that's a huge army. Are we really fighting them?" Knight Infantry Zophise said, "If we die, we die." Knight Infantry Hyde said to them, "Well newbies, hope you are ready for a fight. Since the Capt. and Vice are out again, me and my pal Reycom here are in charge of you dorks." Next to him, Knight Infantry Reycom said in seriousness, "Really Hyde? This again?" The other Knight Infantries do get annoyed with Hyde takes temporal leader position when their Captain and Vice Captain are gone. Knight Infantry Victor, one of the warriors that were trapped in the Twilight World a while ago, said, "Hey, we are just as strong as you are." Knight Hyde said, "But not as smart as us when you got caught in a different realm, Victor." The Knight Victor said in disgust, "Why you...?!" Commander Zeon just realized he forgot to do something with a surprising look, then made a frustrating look, darn, I forgot to recover the memories of their spells before this battle. Too late now. The Netherworld Army of devils and resurrected demons are approaching really fast as the military got past the border and Commander Zeon just now realized that Zeil and Zophise will have to fight without demon magic, which would give them a disadvantage in addition to the Netherworld Army being able to resurrect infinitely.

Among the Ninja Division, the Ninja Infantry Strago—one of the other warriors that were trapped in the Twilight World the other day—said, "And while sensei and the new kid are out, I'm taking over." Some of the shinobi laughed while one of them said, "Why you? Especially since you and Kurtis went missing on us." The Ninja Infantry Kurtis responded, "It was my fault. I charged in first. Strago came for me." Ninja Strago said, "Anyways, Kyanchome-sensei told me that I would have been a Vice Captain candidate when Byonko-sensei died after we returned and I was late hearing that news. I know his son is taking what would have been my position and I respect that but I'm still the strongest out of you guys." The ninjas laughed at him again and Commander Zeon yelled at both his Knight and Ninja Divisions' arguments, "Knock it off, you guys! The enemy is here." Among the Netherworld Army, a green orc-like demon said in bloodlust, "Gehehehe! Looks like we got some competition boys." The Netherworld Army gave a battle shout and both armies battled out in a giant battlefield. The Medic Division backed up the warriors, healing them, while Princess Koruru used her Shin Raifojio to keep as many soldiers alive as possible. But that may not be enough to hold back the Netherworld Army, led by Lucid of Pride. Behind the Demon World Military, Lucid said with enjoyment, "Heh, this will be a fun battle." Commander Zeon wondered, is that titanic... angel...?! An archdevil or what? He must be leading this army. And that guy at that... castle? Don't tell me... That's Zecross?! He's so different from before. Maybe Zega wasn't lying after all. Crud, we may not survive this. Commander Zeon barely caught a glimpse of Neo Zecross and his fortress.

Far away from the battlefield, as Neo Zecross was sitting in his giant black throne in front of his fortress, he said casually, "Heh, the military arrived just in time. This will be an interesting fight. I wonder if those meddlesome brats are with them." Zega appeared on the balcony of the fortress, saying, "I'll check on those twerps if you don't mind." Neo Zecross said, "Go ahead. I have no use for you at the moment." Zega wondered if everything he did was according to his godly brother's plan, "Hmm..." then teleported away from the fortress.

NOTE: The four following battles takes place simultaneously in terms of story so you can read the battles in any order (though it is still recommended to read them as written in order). By the way, I made up the town names and their locations (they are not canon locations). Also, I gave some characters new techniques and spells.

Battle: Ninja Squad vs. Asmon of Lust & Greed (at Mamonokin Village)


Far to the east of the Demon Capital lies a small town, known as Mamonokin Village. Asmon, the Great Demon Lord of Lust and Greed, was creating havoc in this village, kidnapping women and stealing anything worth valuable. Many husbands of stolen wives were trying to fight back with some of them casting spells, but alas, the giant troll deity remained completely unharmed. Some knights that were in the area were trying to battle against the God of Deception but were easily wiped out and killed but they at least rescued some captive female demons. While Asmon was doing his thing, he snatched another female demon, one that is orc-like, as she screamed in fear. The orcish husband of the demon yelled, "Hey, give her back! W-what are you?" Asmon said, "Kyeh? No way, she's my slave now... Kyeh-heh-heh! Unless if you give me everything you have, then I might consider it." The male orc demon said in worrisome, "W-what?!" The female orc demon screamed, "Don't just stand there, help!" Her husband's expression changed from fear to courage and yelled, "Big or not, we orcish warriors don't back down a challenge! Raaaaah! Dio Gadyūga!" The orcish demon launched a giant fireball against the giant troll, but alas, it didn't work on the perverted giant. Asmon said, "Is that the best you can do? Kyeh... I might as well put you out of your misery. Earth Curse: Fissure [土呪:割れ目, Donoroi: Wareme]!" Asmon smacked his giant stone club on the ground, creating a powerful earthquake on the ground, cracking the ground in front of him and creating bottomless pits. A lot of houses broke and fell into the abyss and so did many demons including the defender. The captive woman cried loudly and deeply, "Darling, NOOO-ho-ho-ho!!!" Asmon said, "Kyeh, none of you guys put up a challenge. Still, these are mere demons up against an archdevil... Kyeh-heh-heh! Now where was I?" The captive woman cried, "Let me go-ho-ho-ho!!!" She then managed to bit Asmon's hand. He reacted in slight pain, "Youch! Why you little...?! Whatever, you weren't pretty anyway." After all, archdevils can still take non-spell physical damage.

After Asmon turned around, no longer caring about the female orc he captured, he tossed her into the abyss he created. As she screamed in fear, a few ninjas jumped across the chasm and one of them caught the falling female orc. Ninja Captain Kyanchome was the one who saved her. After landing across the pit, the woman thanked him, "Thank you, ut what about my husband?" Speaking of her husband, he seems to be floating up in midair along with several other demons. Ninja Vice Captain Pancho used his Inbishirudo in combination with Oru Inbishirudo to create a large, invisible platform inside the fissure to catch fallen demons and brought them up to the land. The demons were so confused on why they were "levitating" but Vice Captain Pancho said, "Is everyone alright? Don't worry, I got you guys on my invisible platform." The demons thanked him, "Ahh, thank you, lad!" Captain Kyanchome said, "Nice save, son." He then said to the woman he saved, "You better leave and fast." The woman ran up to her orcish husband, "Darling! Well,' look at that, you're hurt!" He replied, "Honey! It's al—Oof!" Vice Captain Pancho said, "My mother is a medic. Go see her right away, then get out of here fast." All of the civilians fled the area. Vice Captain Pancho pointed the way to where his mother is. At the moment, Head Nurse Tio is healing wounded soldiers in the western part of Mamonokin Village that managed to survive. Asmon was a bit impressed, "Heh, more foot soldiers, though these runts seem interesting. You better not be disappointing like those other guys." Captain Kyanchome wondered, "Just what the heck are you? From what we heard, you are some sort of archdevil. But no matter who you are, we'll protect this world." Asmon said, "Kyeh! So you know about us archdevils and yet, you dare challenge a God of Evil. Kyeh! You must be some sort of idiot. But if you're brave enough, the name's Asmon, Thief King Asmon... God of Deception and the Great Demon Lord of Lust and Greed of the Netherworld. Heh! And the Netherworld will be your grave unless if you put up a challenge. Kyeh-heh-heh!" The battle between the illusionists is about to begin.

[Choose random battle music: #1#2]
Ninja Captain Kyanchome incanted, "Dima Buruku!" cloning himself at least twenty times. As they each grabbed ninja weapons including katana, kunai, and shuriken, the real Captain Kyanchome thought to himself, I ain't taking any chances with this titan. He then incanted, "Shin Poruku! Dark Assassination!" While putting Asmon into a world of complete darkness, the Kyanchome clones jumped across buildings to strike Asmon. Asmon, being a master of illusions, already knows what's up, "Kyeh! So, you're an illusionist too, I presume? Sorry, but illusions won't work on the God of Illusions [幻想の神, Gensō no Kami]." With a single flick of fingers with his right hand, Asmon dispelled Captain Kyanchome's Shin Poruku. Suddenly, more than a hundred Kyanchome clones appeared around Asmon as he reacted, "What?!" Captain Kyanchome kept multiplying himself with Dima Buruku in the middle of Shin Poruku. On the ground, Vice Captain Pancho was surprised, "Whoa! How many clones can dad create?" They all attacked Asmon with ninja weapons; throwing shuriken and kunai while attempting to slice off his limbs with his katana. Asmon made a feint reaction, "Kyeh! No! Th... this cannot be happening... Oh, the pain..... NOT!" Vice Captain Pancho wondered, "Did he get him?"

Captain Kyanchome just now realized, "What? An illusion? Whoa!" Kyanchome and Pancho just realized it was an illusion and that the real Asmon was actually invisible, but for some reason, Pancho couldn't see him with his Invisibility Awareness ability. As the Captain Kyanchome clones were falling down, the real Asmon turned visible and whacked over half of the clones with his stone club. Those clones disappeared but some including the real Kyanchome dodged the swing by shrinking with, "Kopouruku!" though that could have been a bad idea if it was still aiming them. Captain Kyanchome continued improvising a plan, "Dikaporuku!" Captain Kyanchome created a giant illusion of himself to the size of Asmon and made a battle stance. At the same time, Kyanchome shrunk his real self and his solid clones to make them unnoticeable to Asmon's vision. Asmon already realized it was just an illusion and laughed, "Heh? Kyeh-heh-heh! You think I'm going to fall for that illusion. I told you, I'm the God of Illusions and Deception. But of course, this was just a distraction." He turned around and while he couldn't find the tiny Kyanchome clones, he slammed his stone club on the ground, making small quakes, and tried destroying the Kyanchome clones, "Time to squish some bugs." The real Captain Kyanchome deactivated his Koporuku and return to his size, then deactivated his Dikaporuku since that giant illusion was useless. He wondered, thinking to himself, any more ideas?

Pancho decided to make his move while Asmon was distracted, if dad's illusions won't work, how about my powers? Time to test out my new ninja techniques, "Inbishiruga, Oru Inbishirudo! Invisible Wall Technique: Invisible Shuriken!" Using his Invisible Wall Projectile Attack spell in combination his Invisible Wall Manipulation spell, Pancho created eight invisible walls at horizontal position and threw them at Asmon as if they were giant invisible shuriken. Asmon didn't realize them and took the hit from each one, although they did no effect on Asmon besides flinching him, "Kyeh? What the...? What did you throw at me, little boy?" Pancho also redirected some of his invisible shuriken-walls to attack Asmon from other angles and used his Oru Inbishirudo to break them into tiny invisible shuriken to launch at all sides. Even though they did nothing to Asmon, Asmon held his guard up with his arms and flinched, "Kyeh..." While this new Invisible Shuriken technique Pancho developed during his new training seems useless on an archdevil, it would have been very useful against an army as a surprise attack to potentially wipe out an entire army without the enemy noticing. Pancho thought to himself, so, spells don't really work against these beings, just as Zega said. But at least I distracted them long enough for my invisible clones to strike with their weapons. Wait, would they count too? Pancho used his Inbisuburuku preemptively and his invisible clones attacked Asmon from behind but they did nothing to Asmon, not even their weapons. Asmon reacted, "Now what's touching me? Stupid ants!" After struggling his legs, Asmon got rid of all the Kyanchome and Pancho clones out of his way. Captain Kyanchome wonder, "How's he not damaged in the slightest? Wait, do our clones' weapons not really work against this guy? But before... no, he was pretending to get hurt with an illusion to fool us. How can we stop this titan? Are archdevils really invincible?"

Asmon got irritated and said, "I had enough of your games. I thought this would have been interesting, not stupid. I'll just finish you both. Illusion Curse: Cloak of the Thief [幻呪:盗賊の外套, Gennoroi: Tōzoku no Gaitō]!" Asmon turned himself invisible. This is the curse he commonly used in secrecy when he was under Zarpi's control. It not only makes him invisible to everyone's sight, but it completely suppresses his devilish energy, making him (nearly) undetectable. As Captain Kyanchome got on a rooftop, he said, "He's disappearing again. I'll try this then. Fō Supuporuku!" After clapping his hands and extending his index fingers, Captain Kyanchome tried making Asmon disperse the curse before he disappeared a split-second later... but nothing happened... Captain Kyanchome wondered, "Huh? Is he not there anymore or what? Why didn't his spell disperse? Does demon magic really not work?" Pancho wondered, "I can't see him either." Pancho does have Invisibility Awareness but for some odd reason, he can't see Asmon; not even an outline of him is shown in Pancho's view. Perhaps this curse can affect someone's brain and mind to tell and show the targets that the user is not there. That may be what Asmon's illusion "curses" really do: Affect people's minds, brain signals, and senses, making them think Asmon is invisible. While moving silently, Asmon said to Captain Kyanchome on his side, "Spell? Kyeh-heh-heh! We archdevils use curses, not spells." Pancho said, "Even with my Invisibility Awareness, I can't find him. Wait..." After focusing hard enough, Pancho just now got an outline of Asmon's invisible aura for a split second and yelled, "Dad, look out!" After hearing Asmon's location, Captain Kyanchome attempted to jump away but Asmon whacked him with his huge stone club. Captain Kyanchome reacted, "What?" before getting smacked hard. He was sent flying, bashing through a house. His bones were nearly broken and the strength of the impact knocked him out cold.

Pancho yelled, "Dad!" In the town after Head Nurse Tio healed the injured, she cried out, "Kyanchome!" Pancho was distracted with his father that he lost Asmon's location. He kept looking around but couldn't find him anywhere for a second. Pancho noticed Asmon at the last second when Asmon was near him and Asmon yelled, "I had enough of you guys." Pancho said, reacting in defense, "Crud! Inbishirudo! Oru Inbishirudo!" Pancho protected himself with a fortified invisible shield but Asmon's giant stone club easily broke through it and sent Pancho flying at high speed, knocking him out cold and breaking his bones too. Head Nurse Tio cried out and screamed, "Kyanchome, Pancho! Nooo!"
[/End of random battle music]

After Asmon turned himself visible, he noticed Tio running to her family, and said with a perverted mind, "Hello, nurse!" picking her up. Head Nurse Tio reacted, "Ahh! Put me down! What are you going to do to me?" Asmon blushed, "Kyeh-heh, you are a pretty one. How about you become my slave and you and I can have some 'fun', if you know what I mean. Kyeh-heh-heh!" Tio realized he was flirting with her and yelled angrily, "What?! Are you flirt... No! Never! Let me go you pervert! You'll pay for what you did to my beloved family! Chājiru Saifodon!" Using her anger that she randomly picked up for being flirted and having her family seriously injured, Tio—even though she was trapped within Asmon's barehand with her angry head sticking out—she summoned an angry winged maiden with a giant sword and the spell shot a powerful laser beam from its sword at Asmon's right eye. This is one of Tio's few offensive spells and it is her strongest spell (which is determined by her anger), though Asmon took no damage from it, being a Spirit World deity. Even though Asmon took no damage from it, the light of the spell did cause his eye to be blinded for a few seconds, which caused Asmon to accidentally drop Tio in reaction, "Kyah! Why you little...?!" Tio screamed while falling and had a little hard landing on the ground next to the crevice. As Tio was trying to get up, Asmon snatched her again with his big right hand and yelled, "Why is it always the cute and pretty ones that are nasty? Ya' know what, screw you too!" Asmon already gave up on her and tossed her into the abyss as she screamed. Will she be alright...? Will her husband Kyanchome and son Pancho be alright too...? Or are they all doomed? Will an angel from above save them from death, or is this the end for these main heroes...? How would Tioga react to her family's demise if she finds out?

Suddenly, while Asmon was looking for more valuable objects to steal, a fast blur passed by in an instant. Asmon wondered what was passing by him, "Kyeh?" Head Nurse Tio suddenly disappeared, though she was nowhere to be seen inside the bottomless pit she was falling in. Not only that but everything that Asmon stole suddenly disappeared too, "M-my treasure?! Where'd it go? Kyeh?" What could have happened?

Battle: Knight Squad vs. Belphebub of Gluttony & Sloth (at Behemolith Town)


In the neighboring town next to Mamonokin Village to the east, Behemolith Town, Belphebub was creating havoc. In the town, Belphebub, as hungry as he was, began devouring living demons. They burned inside Belphebub's stomach acid. He was also wrecking buildings with his mithril chain shackle, looking for more demons to eat and so far, he's having a good time. "Yum! Living demons tastes so much better than dead demons. Bweh heh! Yum, oh! Bweh heh! Wind Curse: BUUUURP!!! Ah, much better... Time to eat! Behe!" Belpehbub, despite being evil, is pretty humorous (with his stupidity) and belched loudly as he said the name of his curse. Through his Wind Curse: Burp (風呪:げっぷ, Fūnoroi: Suikomu), Belphebub made a giant, nasty blast of wind from his mouth into the sky that his stinky breath killed non-sapient demon birds that were minding their own business and they softly fell into Belphebub's hands. Belphebub said happiness, "Ooh, birdies! Yum, yum!" and ate them, then continued his rampage. As Belphebub was destroying buildings with his chains in search of demons, he would suck them in his mouth with his Inhale wind curse and if he had to, he would use his Capture chain curse to seize targets with his mithril chains. The demons tried fighting back but alas, their spells have no effect on the giant, obese cyclops. Some of the knight infantries were fighting Belphebub. A knight wondered, "What... what is that demon?" A comrade wondered, "He's cannibalizing them?" A surviving royal knight said, "We won't stand for this." The Knight Infantries were surprised to see a Royal Knight, "Vincelot-kyō?!" One of them followed up, calling him, "The Blood Paladin?" They both then said simultaneously in shock, "You're alive?!" The Royal Knight responded, "I prefer not to be called by that title." The knight infantries apologized, "Our apologies, sir!"

The Royal Knight Vincelot is a humanoid demon, equipped with dark red armor with a knightly sword sheathed to the left side of his waste, and wielding a morning star in his right hand and a dark red shield in his left hand. His main weapon, the morning star, appears in the shape of a mace but it can mechanically change into a flail with magical chains inside the hilt with a length mysteriously longer than the hilt. His name is a play on Sir Lancelot from the Knights of the Round Tables and he is nicknamed the Blood Paladin (血液のパラディン, Ketsueki no Paradin) due to the color of his dark red armor and parts of his spiked hair; also because he has faced in many gory battles for hundreds of years and that he got scarred in battle, though he hates being called the Blood Paladin. In Commander Zeon's military, the honorific title "Sir" (卿, kyō) is used among the Royal Knights, though for Royal Knights that are the division's Vice Captain or Captain (like Sir Earth the Golden Knight and Sir Black Knight), people—especially Knight Infantries—would usually refer to them by Vice Captain or Captain respectively. There are a total of twelve Royal Knights (also known as the Paladins of Demon World or the Twelve Peers) including the Knight Captain and Vice Captain, but the current status on the other nine Royal knights are unknown or dead due to the mission they had when the Demon Revolution Army attacked. Besides these three, the only other known Royal Knight is Sir Rajin (previously a lieutenant-general ranked knight in the previous military system and the previous Knight Captain before Black Knight in the current military system), but his status is currently unknown.

Sir Vincelot ordered the three Knight Infantries in the area, "You two, back me up. And you there, call for reinforcements." Sir Vincelot slightly ached for a second. The knights were worried, "Vincelot-kyō? Y-you're hurt."/"What happened to you?" He responded, "Don't worry about me. Had to deal... a bunch of thugs and stuff a while ago. Go! Bring any of the other nine Royal Knights, if they're around." The chosen messenger replied, "Y-yes, sir!" One of the other knights wondered, "Other nine? But aren't there twelve Royal Knights in total? What happened to—" Sir Vincelot responded, "My two companions were murdered. Ergh... Enough talk. I got to stop that monster." The Knight Infantries were shocked hearing that two Royal Knights were killed. This mysterious Royal Knight was injured during the weekly mission Commander Zeon Bell gave to the Royal Knights when Zega's and Zecross' Demon Revolution Army made their first announcement and appearance, stating that there were other rebellion armies besides them. Two of his Royal Knight companions were mysteriously killed by a rebel group. The Royal Knights, despite being the strongest and loyal units of the Knight Division (they are the elite group that is as powerful as a Vice Captain or even a Captain), seemed to have lots of trouble around the world, dealing with other rogue demons that planned on conquering Demon World.

As a knight messenger left to look for other warriors, the other knights including Royal Knight Sir Vincelot raced to Belphebub's location inside the town. Right now, a few other Knight Infantries were fighting Belphebub but were having a bad time. "Crud, what should we do?" One of the knights asked his partner. Belphebub incanted, "Wind Curse: Inhale!" vacuuming two knights from the ground into his mouth fifty meters away. Another knight was worried for his comrades, shouting their names. When Belphebub tasted their metal armor inside his mouth, he spat them out of his mouth, "Patoot!" as he hated the taste of metal. The knights screamed as they fell out of Belphebub's mouth, "Ahhhh!" Belphebub then said in disgust while wiping his rotten tongue, "Yuck. Armor bad." A comrade tried catching his fellow knights but those knights were covered in gross slobber that he was disgusted by it, "Eww-eh...! You okay guys?" A fallen knight, covered in saliva, coughed and said, "Eh-gheh... Oof... Yuck! Well, he doesn't seem to like metal armor." Belphebub was thinking and said, "But other than that, their flesh tasted good. Beelzeflies, take the hard metal off of them for me, please. Wind Curse: Swarm Tornado [風呪:群れ竜巻, Fūnoroi: Mure Tatsumaki]!" After acting goofy and becoming serious when he recited his new wind curse, the beelzeflies that surrounded Belphebub started acting on their own. The thousand devilish flying insects separated themselves from Belphebub and spun simultaneously in a circle, creating a nasty giant tornado vertically. One of the knights wondered, "Those bugs..." Another reacted in fear, "They are coming towards us!" They began retreating, "Run away!" As the devilish swarm moved towards the knights, the knights were pulled into the infested tornado. As they screamed in fear, the beelzeflies ate their armor, and while disobeying Belphebub, they sucked the life of the knights that their bodies wrinkled up and became skinny, losing blood. After the curse ended, the beelzeflies flew back to Belphebub with Belphebub saying in disappointment and sadness, "Oh pooie! Those were mine! Huh... I guess I'll take their corpses." After using Inhale to suck up the corpses, Belphebub said in disappointment, "Beh... they don't taste right anymore. Beh... Oh?"

Sir Vincelot and his pair of Knight Infantries just arrived. Sir Vincelot said, "You, cyclops, what you did to my subordinates, that was really uncool." Belphebub said in disappointment, "Behh, more armor. Beelzeflies, do your thing but please save some meat for me. Swarm Tornado!" Again, Belphebub used his flies to create a horrifying tornado. One of the knights said, "That thing again..." Sir Vincelot thought about it and said, "You two, I can't afford to lose any more precious comrades. Stand back and let me handle this." The other knight wondered, "But, sir. You said..." The first knight said, "We'll only get in Vincelot-kyō's way. Let's call for Capt. and Vice." The infantries retreated to bring in reinforcements to, leaving the Royal Knight Vincelot to hold off against the giant ogre-devil Belphebub by himself until the Royal Knights Captain Black Knight and Vice Captain Earth appear. As a giant spinning swarm approaches Sir Vincelot, he makes his defense. With his shield in left hand and mace-like morning star in his right hand, he turns his mace into a flail. Chains appeared out of the hilt, attached to the morning star. Sir Vincelot then incanted the spells in defense, "Gafaruruku! Ganzu Gafarusen!" With Gafaruruku, the size of the flail's spiked ball enlarged five times its size with more spikes added on it. As Sir Vincelot swung his morning star, the giant spike ball magically summoned hundreds of smaller spike balls within the Swarm Tornado. Ganzu Gafarusen is very similar to the spell Ganzu Garon except it uses the morning star weapon. He then incanted, "Gafarusen Radomu!" The smaller spiked balls exploded like cluster bombs, destroying about half beelzeflies. The rest of the beelzeflies went back to Belphebub.

Belphebub wondered, "What have you done to my beelzeflies?" The Royal Knight responded, "The same thing I'll do to you after I capture you. Kofaru Chein! Cheisen!" With Kofaru Chein, his morning star (even the chains) was covered in solid red, spiky crystal. In combination with Cheisen, the morning star's chain extended as well as creating additional crystalized chains that extended so large that they ensnared the giant cyclops. The chains also grabbed Belphebub's mithril chains to wrap around him. The spikes of Vincelot's crystal chains would normally puncture anyone as if they were trapped inside an iron maiden, but being a Spirit World deity, Belphebub didn't really take any damage from the crystal-spiked chains and could easily break out of it anytime (with anyone else, these chains would be very difficult to break out of). Belphebub slightly struggled, wondering, "Huh?" Sir Vincelot said, "You aren't the only one who's capable of manipulating chains. Now, behave yourself and you won't get a gruesome death." Belphebub laughed and said, "Bweh-heh-heh! Puny tiny demon thinks his chains are better than Belphebub's... Now you made Belphebub, Great Demon Lord of Sloth and Gluttony mad. I'll send you to the Netherworld, whether you are in my belly or not, as punishment for attacking a god... a God of Evil; an archdevil like me... and my devil friends around me, my beelzeflies! Chain Curse: Chain Frenzy! Bweh heh heh! Heh heh heh!" Belphebub took control of every chain-related object in the area including Sir Vincelot spells. All the chains released from Belphebub's body and are attacking the city wildly as Belphebub laughed. Sir Vincelot's morning star went back to normal, back into the form of a mace. He wondered and was shocked, "Great Demon Lord... Netherworld? Wait, no way? This thing... is an archdevil?! So all of that crap was real?!" He then thought to himself, my week has been bad enough as it is. Darn, a wound opened up. As he realized he started bleeding, he looked back up and shouted in defense, "Ah... Ahh!!!," as the chains were randomly attacking his area wildly. He accidentally dropped his guard and is randomly being attacked by his own chain spells, though he tried defending with his dark red shield and morning star until reinforcements showed up.

Just as Sir Vincelot was bombarded by his and Belphebub's chains through Belphebub's Chain Frenzy curse, reinforcements have arrived with them one of them casting the spell, "Ranzushirudo!" and the other one reciting a chant to cast another spell, "Invoke the sword of Varusere, unleash the demonic power of ten thousand demons and reduce everything to dust... Varusere Ozu Maru Sorudon!" Royal Knight and Knight Captain Black Knight protected Sir Vincelot with his long, spiral lance, by folding his metal lance into a large shield, blocking the berserking chains. Meanwhile, after reciting a long incantation to use Varusere Ozu Maru Sorudon, Knight Vice Captain Earth, summoned thousands of giant swords to destroy Sir Vincelot's uncontrollable crystal chains and to attack the giant Belphebub, although, it didn't really do much to Belphebub.

After Sir Vincelot opened his eyes, he reacted in surprise, "Black Knight-kyō, Earth-kyō..." After turning his spiral spear back to normal, Sir Black Knight responded, "Glad to see your alive, Vincelot-kyō. We'll take it from here. I sent your messengers with the rest of the military." The Black Knight's owl doesn't seem to be with him at the moment, but his owl is currently scouting the main battlefield outside town. As for Dr. Danny, who was following the Royal Knights, he's currently holding off against random criminals and devils on the opposite side of the town, but he has some knights aiding him. After the onslaught of deadly swords that besieged Belphebub, Belphebub still looked okay although he felt a slight pain, "Ouch, that hurt... Well, sort of, but we're sort of invulnerable to that stuff, being an archdevil..." Sir Earth reacted in surprise, "All of that... and he's still..." Sir Vincelot, still feeling pain from the battles he had, said to his fellow Royal Knights, "You... you don't understand. Our magic doesn't seem to work." Captain Black Knight responded, "We heard it from the Commander. They're archdevils from the Netherworld. Gods or not, we cannot let Demon World come into harm." Belphebub laughed and said in his goofy voice, "Bweh heh! You guys must be more stupid than me if you think you could beat a god. Bweh heh! Though, I hate that you're wearing armor. Belphebub will fix that up. Let's go my beelzefies. Wind Curse: Swarm Tornado!" Using the remainder of his beelzeflies, the devilish flies spun around to create a wicked tornado, though, without the entire group, this tornado is weaker and isn't blowing as rapidly. Captain Black Knight incanted, "Ranzuruga!," while Vice Captain Earth incanted, "Shiruga! Sorusen!" Both knights aimed their weapons at the swirling beelzeflies the best they can and shot projectiles from their weapons to take them out. Laser beams were coming out of Black Knight's spiral lance via Ranzuruga and Earth's golden shield via Shiruga while Earth also shot a sword blade from his triangle sword via Sorusen. While they didn't kill all the beelzeflies, the flies decided to stop their wind curse and attacked in a more direct formation.

Sir Vincelot said, "Those bugs are heading this way. Keh!" He reacted to some injuries from slight movement. As the beelzeflies lined up to attack the knights, Vice Captain Earth said, "I got these critters. Shirusorudo! Gigano Shiruga!" Earth combined both his golden shield and triangle sword with Shirusorudo, a spell to fuse a sword and shield to use for both offense and defense simultaneously. At the moment, it appears that his triangle sword has a huge, golden crossguard and the crossguard charged up energy and fired a huge laser beam, destroying a row of beelzeflies but some survive and proceeded towards the knights. Captain Black Knight said, "You missed a few. Ranzu!" Black Knight extended his spiral lance and accurately stabbed both beelzeflies in one shot. Belphebub was upset and shouted, "Noooo! Not my little buddies!" Sir Vincelot said, "That takes care of those insects, but now, how to stop that... archdevil? Not even my chains stopped them." Vice Captain Earth wondered, "Captain, would your Cage Magic secure him?" Black Knight responded, "No. If Sir Vincelot's spells couldn't hold him down, he could easily break out of my cage, even though my Cage Magic is nearly indestructible by most magic. Plus, he's a bit too big for the size of a cage my lance can produce." Sir Earth said, "Darn, but we'll have to do something, otherwise, he'll eat the entire town. Vincelot-kyō?!" As the injured Royal Knight stood up and walked, he said, "I'll try to hold him down while you two engage in close combat. Magic doesn't seem to hurt it so I wonder... if he can be harmed with physical combat, though it'll be risky." Captain Black Knight responded, "That's our best bet."
[/End of random battle music]

Suddenly, Belphebub felt his belly digested, reacting, "Huh? Oh, that funny feeling. Guess it's that time... Bweh heh!" Vice Captain Earth saw Belphebub turning around, looking at his back and wondered, "What's this giant up to? Umm... Captain, Vincelot-kyō..." Belphebub pulled down the backside of his pants while chuckling, "Bweh heh heh, heh heh heh! This is going to be a good one!" Sir Vincelot remembers seeing some random birds killed by a deadly belch and he could predict what Belphebub will do, "Whoa! Retreat for now; take cover!" Captain Black Knight and Vice Captain Earth wondered, "Heh?" But it was too late. "Wind Curse: Fart [風呪:おなら, Fūnoroi: Onara]!" Belphebub unleashed a powerful blast of deadly gas from his anus, creating a powerful blast of stinky wind, blowing everything in the way including building debris, houses, and anyone in the area. Vice Captain Earth tried his best and used his fused sword-shield to block the wind, protecting him and his crew but alas, that didn't do anything and the entire knight crew was easily flung far away from the bloating wind in their way.

After about five seconds, Belphebub felt better, "... Ahhh! That was a good one." After he stopped farting, the air in the town was filled with a poisonous gas. At the far side of town, Dr. Danny wondered, "What was that wind?" After Dr. Danny got through some resurrected criminals and devils (his knight helpers were already dead), Dr. Danny ran towards the other side and found the Royal Knights unconscious and they appeared to be very ill from the poisonous gas. Dr. Danny put on his medic mask, saying, "Is this... poisonous gas? Huh? Earth-kyō! Black Knight-kyō! And... Vincelot-kyō...?" He then attempted to heal the fallen Royal Knights. After feeling relieved, Belphebub pulled up his shorts and said, "Ahh, much better. Now, where are those... Huh?" After looking behind him, all he see is a huge empty path with no one in sight, "Where did those armored demons go? Oh well, Belphebub is sleepy anyway. Nighty night!" As Belphebub yawned, he laid on the ground with his head on a large piece of debris with his right arm underneath it, closed his one giant eye, curling his legs up, and began snoring, "ZZZZZZZZZZ!!! Choooo!!!! ZZZZZZZZZZ!!! Choooo!!!!"

As Belphebub was resting in the near the edge of Behemolith Town, someone approached him... another giant being; another knight.

Scene: In a forest towards Siren Beach (late evening)


As Prince Raiden (carrying King Rain), Nekolas (carrying Tioga), and Haria sprinted through a forest to get to Siren Beach, where the Great Demon Leviasatan of Envy and Wrath was lurking, they've encountered some resurrected wicked demons and devils of the Netherworld lurking in the forest trees around. The lurking criminals and devils made a mischievous chuckle, showing their location on the tree branches. Haria stopped moving and made a small scream as a reaction, "Eep!" The teenagers stopped moving and after King Rain and Tioga dropped down from Raiden's and Nekolas' shoulders respectively, Nekolas wondered, "What...?" Raiden wondered, "Okay, who's here? Show yourself." King Rain Bell, being a sensory-type demon, felt wicked presences around him and even stranger, stronger ones, which were the devils, "This... what is this...?" Raiden wondered, "Rain-sama, what is it?" while Tioga wondered, "Rain-kun?" King Rain was frightened from the devilish energy he's sensing around the forest. King Rain said, "Not sure... I feel something... evil... It's scary... Different from a demons'..." A dark blue devil soldier laughed and said, "Kuhuhuhu! I take it the little boy with the crown is the Demon King, from what Zecross-sama told us." Raiden reacted to that name, "Zecross?!" Another devil warrior said, "That little guy's the Demon King? Fahaha! What a joke! Let's show these puny demons that we of the devil race are superior." A fearsome demon criminal that was allied with the devils said, "We'll make them suffer like us demons did in the Netherworld."

Meanwhile at Siren Beach... "Look at all of these demon scum... This beach you so call Siren Beach is my territory now!" While at least a dozen demons were having fun at the beach, relaxing on the sand or swimming in the dark ocean, Great Demon Lord Leviasatan of Envy and Wrath appeared to them from behind. The demons looked frightened seeing a gigantic monster but some of them said, "Whoa, what's his problem?"/"He's huge..." Leviasatan made his first assault, "Fire Curse: Hellfire Breath!" Without showing any mercy, Leviasatan blew giant demonic flames on the beach, incinerating innocent folks who were trying to have a fun time. They cried and screamed in pain and despair before dying. The demons that were in the water were scared to fight back or couldn't do anything and started swimming far away in a panic. Leviasatan said, "As the Dragon King of Land and Sea, this so-called Siren Beach and Leviathan Ocean belongs to me now! Water Curse: Boil [水呪:沸騰, Suinoroi: Futtō]! ERR-ROOOAARRR!!!" After taking a step forward and shouting in the air, the ocean water suddenly grew hotter and boiling. Over hundreds of demons, including sapient ones and sea creatures, were being roasted alive in the ocean from Leviasatan's sight. Only burnt, skeletal corpses remained in the ocean. Though, why would Leviasatan find this place interesting and how does he know these places...? Though, this part of the ocean is called Leviathan Ocean, which must have some sort of connection to Leviasatan. Either that or Leviasatan's deadly sin of envy wanted him to claim the ocean from other demons using it.

[Insert random battle music]
Back in the forest near Siren Beach... "Fahaha! That kid is mine! Fire Curse: Hellfire Spear!" The red devilish soldier shot a beam of demonic flames from his red trident at King Rain. Prince Raiden quickly reacted, "Watch out!" by grabbing on his brother to the left of him and rolled to the left. After landing on the ground, King Rain wondered, "Raiden-onīsan?" Raiden wondered, "You okay?" Suddenly, a dark blue devil began his attack, "Ice Curse: Hell Freeze [氷呪:地獄氷結, Hyōnoroi: Jigoku Hyōketsu]!" After sweeping his dark blue trident from beneath, the ice devil created a wave of dark icy spikes on the ground towards the group of kids. Haria yelled, "Watch out," and everyone dodged to the side of the demonic ice path. Haria then wondered, "Ice?" Nekolas asked, "What kind of spells are these?" It's a bit surprise that some devils are able to use different types of curses. The common devil has red skin and most devils utilize fire curses, but there are some rare devils that are distinguishable that may possess other types of curses.

After their attacks, a resurrected demon criminal that was with the devils prepared his attack by jumping in the air and slamming his bulky forearms on the ground while incanting, "Guraitsu!" After a small quake in the area from smashing the ground, the demon created earthly spikes from the ground towards the kids over the road of devilish ice spikes. Raiden grabbed Rain and Nekolas grabbed Tioga and they, along with Haria, jumped out of the way. A red devil chuckled and said, "Fahaha, for a demon, you're not that bad. Well, you are, but in another way. For a demon, you are alright and sorry about the stuff I did to ya'." The demon replied, "Just keep that in mind. I hold no grudge on ya' since it was just your job. I'll just have to take my wrath on the living for what they did! Raaah!" The mad beastly demon roared. After the kids got back up, Prince Raiden said, "Oh yeah, we'll send you back to your graves! Ganzu Zakeru!" Raiden generated smalls spheres of electricity in his hands and rapidly threw them at the wicked demon and devils. The demon blocked Raiden's electrical attacks with his bulky forearms while the devils whacked them with their tridents. Nekolas pulled out his red quarterstaff and said, "I'll back you up. Gadyū Erudo! Ganzu Erudo!" Nekolas engulfed flames on his quarterstaff and tried attacking each one of them randomly by quickly extending and retracting his staff's length at high velocity. The devils evaded the attack but the demon criminal got struck in the left eye when Nekolas found and opening and he got knocked down in pain, "Ow, my eye! Why would you do you that?!" Raiden cringed, "Eee! Enough with the eyes." He didn't forget what happened to Wonrei and his mother of the past. A red devil said, "Keh, after all of that big boy talk, you are nothing but a prey."

Nekolas said, "I'll get the blue one on the right. You get the red one." Prince Raiden replied, "Alright! Zasorudo!" After creating electrical arm blades, Raiden charged after the red devil. Nekolas said to his opponent, "Take this! Emurushiruga!" Nekolas cross his red shield gauntlets and fired a large beam of flames at the ice devil. The ice devil said, "Fahaha, try me punk! Ice Curse: Hell-Ice Spear [氷呪:業氷槍, Hyōnoroi: Gōhyō Yari]" The ice devil shot a beam of demonic ice at Nekolas's fire shield beam. While both attacks were battling out, surprising, the devilish ice froze Nekolas' flames with him reacting in surprise, "What? My flames are frozen?" Haria was shocked too, "How's that possible?" Seems helish ice of the Netherworld is strong enough to actually freeze normal fire without putting out the flames; scientifically, this would be impossible but this is supernatural magic. As the devilish ice got closer to Nekolas, Nekolas released his fire shield and rolled out of the way. The devils laughed and the ice devil soldier said, "Fahaha. Such flames won't melt hell-ice of the Netherworld." The red devil soldiers said after pushing Raiden to the ground, "Alright, enough toying around. Let's go boys!" Suddenly, a few more devils with some demon criminals allying with them revealed themselves on forest trees, wickedly chuckling. Tioga said, "T-there's more of them!" King Rain wondered, "What should we do?" Raiden ended his spell and said while cracking his fingers, "Let's take 'em on. It doesn't matter how many there are." Haria said, "But we're outnumbered." Nekolas said, "We've taken out waves of robots in the Human World, we can go through these guys." The first red devil said, "Don't look down on us devils, filthy demon. Know your place. Atta—Kah?!"

[Choose random character theme: #1#2]
Suddenly, a voice from a far distance, barely audible from here, was, "Gadyū Uruku!" A large flame appeared from the ground between the wicked and the kids. Everyone slightly covered their eyes with their arms with Raiden wondering, "What's this?" A beastly man appeared from the flames with his arms crossed. It appeared to be Nekolas' father, Leo the Red Lion, as Nekolas reaction was, "P-Pops?! Is that you, what are you doing—" His father interfered, "You never did succeed me. Do you think I would let you go out to war on your own?" Nekolas argued, "Dad, I have friends backing me. H-how did you even find me?" Leo said, "You novice, the military commander told me you would be heading to Siren Beach with that giant pesky monster. What you are doing is suicidal, though I decide I won't stop you." Nekolas was surprised, "Huh?" Leo said, "I'll hold off these pawns." Many devils were enraged hearing that with one of them saying, "Who are you calling pawn, ya' stinkin' demon?!" The ice devil yelled angrily, "And how dare you disrespect our god Leviasatan-sama, the Great Demon Lord of Envy and Lust, the Dragon King of Land and Sea, and the Dragon God [竜神, Ryūjin]." A third one yelled angrily at Leo, "Get him!" Before Leo held off against the group of devils and demon criminals, he said to his son and the other kids, "You go ahead, but be cautious." Nekolas said, "Alright, let's go Haria-chan. Tioga, get back on." Tioga climbed back on Nekolas' back and Rain did the same for his brother. Haria then incanted, "Uruku! Oru Uruku!" The kids bypassed the wicked creatures in the forest at high speed. A devil turned around and said, "You're not going to get away!"

As some devils and demon criminals were about to chase them, Leo the Red Lion incanted, "Gadyū Uruku!," teleporting in front of the pursuers from flames. Having his arms crossed, he said in a serious tone, "You want to get them, you'll have to get through me first. Your opponent is the Red Lion Leo, leader of a proud clan of feline warriors." A red devil soldier said, "I don't care who you are, but those twerps won't be able to lay harm on Leviasatan-sama. Alright men, get rid of this scrub, and you demons better be worth teaming up." Another red devil soldier incanted the curse, "Fire Curse: Hellfire Spear!," and shot a beam of demonic flames from his trident at Leo. Leo dodged it straight on and counterattacked with, "Gō Gadyūbauren!," punching the devil in the face with a powerful fire punch, knocking him out. As other devils and resurrected demons ganged up on him, he fought each one using other fire melee spells like Gadyūrōku (fire claws) and the fire aura spell Gadyūruku to power up his strength and burn adjacent targets that come into contact. Despite being outnumbered, he is an excellent martial artist, capable of taking out multiple targets at all angles that come into contact so he might have this crowd under control, even against the foreign beings. He learned that the devils and evil demons resurrect and respawn when he tried to kill them, as they are resurrected from Neo Zecross' Resurrection æther. He then strategized on knocking out his opponents into an unconscious state rather than killing him.

Battle: Demon Children vs. Leviasatan of Envy & Wrath (at Siren Beach)


While Nekolas' father was holding off against random devils and resurrected criminals in the forest, the kids made their way to Siren Beach. Steam was filled in the air, beach chairs and parasols were ablaze, corpses were burnt beyond ash, and the ocean was boiling hot, though Leviasatan was nowhere to be found. The kids were shocked when they saw how bad the condition Siren Beach and the Leviathan Ocean was in. "Whoa! What happened here?" Nekolas asked. Haria wondered, "And why does it feel so hot?" Tioga and King Rain dropped down from Nekolas' and Raiden's back. King Rain looked sad and said, "Even the beach was..." Raiden was very disappointed, "Oh, come on! I love going to this beach and now our vacation spot is ruined. Argh! That Levia-guy or whatever... That one guy said he's been here. Where is he?!" He then yelled, "Okay, if you're here, show yourself you dragon! I know you're a dragon from what your 'followers' said and I want to fight you! And I'm going to kill you for ruining a perfectly good beach." Suddenly, the ground quaked and the ocean waves were going wild. A huge wave appeared in the ocean and the Great Demon Lord of Envy and Wrath emerged to the surface of the ocean, yelling fiercely, "What did you call me, you little brat?! It's Leviasatan-sama, Great Demon Lord of Envy and Wrath, and this is my territory you're trespassing! Garrgh! And I'm not just a dragon, but a Dragon God! Show your respect, mortal, or you'll face my divine wrath! No, you will face my divine wrath and I'll burn you into the Netherworld along with the rest of the demon race. RAAAAGHHH!!!"

[Insert random battle music]
The demon children blocked their ears (especially Haria with her highly-sensitive bunny ears) when Leviasatan made a loud, tremendous roar. Raiden said while covering his ears, "Sheesh! He sure woke up on the wrong side of the bed. But still, he'll pay for what he—HUH?!" Leviasatan incanted the curse, "Fire Curse: Hellfire Breath!" Leviasatan blew gigantic infernal flames towards the group. It was large enough to cover a majority of the beach and there is no space to dodge and blocking it will be extremely difficult. Nekolas freaked out, "What the heck? His flames are huge! Haria-chan, get us out of here." This single, first attack alone could kill Prince Raiden and his friends alone but it was a good thing Nekolas informed his girlfriend as she incanted, "Uruku! Oru Uruku!" increasing the group's velocity enough to dodge the large demonic flames to the other side of the beach. It's a good thing they decided to evade it instead of their defensive spells because their defensive spells would barely do anything, leaving the group vulnerable. After the group turned around to see part of the beach roasted even further, Nekolas said, "Holy crud! So this is the power of a god?" Tioga said, "The fire's coming here." Raiden said, "Let's get around back. I'll cover us. Zakeru!" Raiden shocked part of the ocean to make his hydro-telekinetic ability more efficient. Leviasatan turned around, blowing his infernal flames in that direction and the group quickly dashed around back to the other side of the beach while Raiden used his hydro-telekisis to shield the group by collecting some of the ocean's water, conducted by electricity, with his mind. Leviasatan said, "What the...?! Why you...?! Get back here!" Raiden said, "Woo! Our spells wouldn't have defended that fire. We would have been roasted. Haha! Now to counterattack. Rai'oh Zakeruga!" Raiden unleashed his Level 2 winged electrical dragon attack at Leviasatan. Leviasatan said, "Resistance is futile! Demon magic won't work on me," and whacked the dragon-shaped electrical attack with his scorpion-like devilish tail as if it was nothing.

Raiden reacted in shock, "What the heck? He took out my signature spell like it was nothing. Furthermore, it was in the salt water, which would have been more effective." King Rain wondered, "What do we do now?" Haria said in fear, "Ooh, coming here was a bad idea. I don't want to die. I didn't think it was this threatening." Nekolas said, "We have to do something. We must protect this world and as a knight-in-training, I'm not going to give up. Gō Erudo! Haria-chan, take me to him." After Nekolas greatly extended his quarterstaff, making it stronger, Haria said, "Be careful. Oru Uruku!" and touched him. Nekolas then sped towards Leviasatan and jumped dash across the shallow of the ocean and onto Leviasatan's right front leg. Leviasatan wondered, "What the heck...?!" Nekolas quickly climb-jumped Leviasatan's scales to the top of Leviasatan' head, then yelled, "Take this!" While he was above Leviasatan's head, Nekolas dove his extended staff into Leviasatan's head but it barely pierced through his head. Leviasatan reacted in slight pain, "Kyow, my head! You brat...! You rodent, I'll kill you." Leviasatan actually took some damage from Nekolas' weapon, but not from the enhancement. As Nekolas's staff was stuck inside Leviasatan's scaled head as he tried pushing and pulling his staff. He replied while struggling, "I'm a cat, not a rodent. Teh! It's stuck!" Suddenly, Leviasatan curled up his devilish scorpion tail, preparing to strike Nekolas, "Take this!" Leviasatan's shout actually gave Nekolas a heads up. Nekolas turned around and seen Leviasatan's spiked tail coming towards him. Nekolas reacted, "Oh crud!" and jumped out of the way but he managed to pull out his staff in time. Leviasatan's scorpion-like tail accidentally managed to stab the back of his own head as he reacted in pain and frustration, "Youch! Darn, you brat! Now look what you made me do!" Tioga and Haria in the background said, "He stabbed himself." Raiden said enthusiastically, "Well, that's something. Go get him tiger, but save some for me!" The team then ran towards Leviasatan and Nekolas to get closer but not too close. As Leviasatan pulled his tail out of his head, a purple mark appeared on Leviasatan's wounded scale. As Nekolas landed on his neck, he saw it and said in surprise, "Whoa!" Leviasatan then thought to himself in frustration, darn it, my poison is going to get annoying. Why'd I do that? That pipsqueak! Apparently, Leviasatan's tail is poisonous, but how dangerous is it. But being a powerful archdevil, it probably just annoyed him a bit rather than fatally infect him.

Nekolas whistled and said, "Hey buddy, over here!" Leviasatan tried looking back and said, "You smart aleck! Stand still!" Leviasatan tried jabbing his poisonous tail at Nekolas while avoiding his own body. Nekolas dodged each strike, then on the fourth one, Nekolas grabbed his tail and said, "Gotcha! What NOW?!" Leviasatan flung Nekolas sky-high into the air with his tail to get him off, then said angrily, "I had enough of you. I'll make sure you die by my Angry Devil's Venom Tail [怒悪魔の毒液尾, Ika Akuma no Dokuekibi]." Raiden wondered, "Wait, did he just say..." Rain wondered, "Angry Devil...?" Could this poison be related to the Angry Devil's Toxin that almost killed Patie of the past timeline? As a matter of fact, Angry Devil's Venom is Angry Devil's Toxin—the original version of the rare Angry Devil's Toxin—and it may have originated from Leviasatan himself (or maybe someone related to him) since he can be referred to as the "Angry Devil" due to being an archdevil of wrath. If so, how would Demon World have this acidic poison? Though by legend, it was said that Leviasatan was once a demon, possibly a resident of Demon World (though he could have been born in Spirit World)... and that the toxin version is residues of the venom left behind in the wild. But who knows? It's only a theoretical myth...

As Nekolas was falling towards Leviasatan's head, Leviasatan tried to snipe Nekolas with his tail. Nekolas couldn't dodge in mid-air and the kids on the ground don't have enough time to react, though, Haria's speed could possibly save him but instead... "Gadyū Uruku!" Right in front of Nekolas' eyes, a great fire appeared in front of him, revealing his father, Leo of the Red Lion. Seems like he took out those devils and demons in the forest quite easily. Leo protected his son and took the hit for him. Nekolas yelled, "Dad!" Everyone on the ground was surprised too. Leo's torso was deeply pierced by Leviasatan's Angry Devil's Venom Tail with Leviasatan wondering, "What's this?" Leo was then flung towards the burnt sand on the beach, with Nekolas jumping off Leviasatan, shouting, "POPS?!"

[Insert random sad music]
Haria incanted, "Oru Uruku! Uruku!" As the kids sped towards Leo, Raiden and Haria grabbed Leo as he fell. The force of Leo's bulky muscle weight caused Raiden and Haria to tremble over, "Whoa!" but they broke Leo's fall. As Raiden and Haria held Leo up, he was shown to have a big wound in his thick belly and his red skin is turning purple. His organs were getting infected and started to corrode pretty quickly but Leo took it like a champ with a quiet injury grump, "Guuurgh!" Raiden wondered, "Are you okay?" Haria said, "Oh no, Leo-san! Umm... Gijio! Urujio!" Haria conjured healing ice over Leo's wound and attempted to speed up the healing rate with her other newest spell Urujio, but at the cost of extra heart energy. Nekolas wondered, "Pops, are you okay?!" Leo responded in pain, "Nekolas..." Despite the healing effort, Leo was suffering more than being healed. The natural flames on his red tail were fading away. Leo tried talking to him, "Sorry, I'm late..." Nekolas held him and said, "Dad? Haria-chan, is he okay?" Haria was shaking and wondered, "Why... why isn't he being healed? Urujio is supposed to make the healing faster. Am I doing it wrong? Someone help!" Nekolas wondered what was wrong, "Haria-chan...?!" Leo continued, "Forget about me..." Nekolas wondered, "Dad, why?! Why did you...?!" Leviasatan just watched and said, "How...? Even after my poison, he's still able to talk?" then thought, this punk's got guts. Who is he? Still, demon magic won't save him. My poison will rot his body until he's no more... Leo explained to his son, "I couldn't bare... losing another beloved... ever since your motherpassed on." Nekolas wondered, "Pops?" Leo said, "I did say she was weak... but... I still loved her. And I may have been... too harsh on you... but I wanted you to become stronger and live... Gyah!" Leo spat out blood with his son worried, "Pops?!" Leo continued, "And I never told you this but... I love you... Your old man is just as weak." As Nekolas was dropping tears, he yelled in sadness, "You're not weak! You're the strongest man I know. You're our clan leader. Don't die on me..." Leo's opened right eye was fading away. He was starting to lose consciousness but with his last will, he said his dying words, "Heh, I'm already dead... I still see potential in you... If you live and survive, take over your old man's position... Become the crimson knight you wanted... My time is up... I'll be with your mother..." Nekolas' father died a hero's death. Nekolas cried over his corpse. Haria, King Rain, and Tioga cried too. Raiden however, had angry tears. Leviasatan just watched and thought to himself, heh, a parent. How I envy you, child. I never saw my folks over millions of years. Now, to finish this once and for all.

While the others were grieving over Nekolas' father's death, Prince Raiden ran recklessly towards Leviasatan, thinking to himself, first my mother, then my dad, and now Leo-san... I couldn't save each one. God or not, I'll slay this dragon!"Zaruku! Ginisu Zaruku! Rai'oh Zaruku!" After activating the first two electrical aura spells while angrily running towards Leviasatan, Raiden slowly transformed into his Level 2 Rai'oh form, then immediately flew from the ground the moment he grew dragon wings. Leviasatan wondered, "Ohh...?" Raiden yelled draconically in anger, "You're time has come Dragon God! As the Thunder Dragon of the Sea, I will take back these waters and slay you, for all the people you killed." Leviasatan chuckled and said, "Kyeh! Know your place, so-called Thunder Dragon of the Sea. I'm the Dragon King of Land and Sea, Leviasatan-sama, God of All Dragons! Fire-Water Curse: Steam Breath!" As Leviasatan launched a blast of hot steam from his mouth, Raiden dodged it and incanted, "Gigano Zakeruga!," launching a large electrical beam from his dragon mouth at Leviasatan. While that did hit Leviasatan, it did absolutely nothing to him, with him yelling, "I told you... demonic spells don't work on gods! Hellfire Breath!" As Leviastan was breathing out infernal flames from his mouth, aiming at Raiden's direction, Raiden flew away and used his hydro-telekinetic powers to lift a lot of water from the ocean to block the flames in front of him, which created a steamy smokescreen as a result. Raiden flew through it while dodging Leviasatan's infernal fire breath at high speed and said, "Then how about this?!" Using his dragon claws, Raiden sliced through Leviastan's scales on his head. Leviasatan was irritated. "Gehh! Why you... Steam Breath!"

As Leviasatan was about to release blazing gassy water from his mouth, Raiden just now realized, wait, steam is just hot boiling water in gas form. I should definitely be able to manipulate it. While using his hydro-telekinetic powers to manipulate Leviasatan's steam while it's still inside his mouth, the steam expanded and exploded inside in his mouth. "Bu-kaaaah! Kah-kah-kah. What the heck?!" Leviasatan wondered why his curse backfired. As Nekolas was holding his dead father, he wondered, "W-what just happened?" Raiden responded to the archdevil, "Ha, even your steam is useless against me. As the Thunder Dragon of the Sea, while I can't use water spells, I can still control water with my mind. I trained myself in hydro-telekinesis when I took Advanced Psychokinesis class at school and from what I remembered in science class, steam is made out of water, which means your so-called water curses are useless and I have the field advantage in the ocean. Hey, I'm not a total klutz on my education like my own folks say." Haria was amazed but wondered, "Wow, that's amazing, but when did Raiden-kun take notes?"

Leviasatan's rage grew constantly fast and yelled greatly, "I will not allow an inferior creature defeat the Great Leviasatan-sama. The Leviathan Ocean is mine! Fire Curse: Hellfirestorm [火呪:業火事嵐, Kanoroi: Gōkajiarashi]!" Leviasatan blew hellfire vertically up into the sky, creating red smoky clouds. The clouds then rained millions of small infernal fireballs towards the ground. Raiden reacting in curiosity, "What the...?!" Leviasatan yelled angrily, "I'll burn this entire land! With you and your pesky friends!" Raiden, still in his dragon form, was worried, "Oh no, Rain-sama!" He then looked back up and realized he couldn't dodge the raining fireballs so Raiden used his hydro-telekinetic powers to lift some of the ocean water to protect him while also incanting the spell, "Ganzu Zakeru!," to fire off some small electric balls from his dragon mouth to destroy the fireballs in his path. As for the kids on the ground, Haria wondered, "What are we going to do?" Tioga defended for them, "I'll protect us. Teo Rifureshirudo!" She created a lot of small mirror shields around the group to protect themselves from the infernal fire rain, though those fireballs are hitting quite heavy. Raiden looked back down and thought to himself, glad they're okay. While Raiden looked away for that second, the titanic-sized archdevil approached the medium-sized thunder dragon. After Raiden heard a stomp, he wondered, "Huh?" Leviasatan made no delay. Without any warning, while Raiden's front guard was down, Leviasatan stabbed Raiden's draconic torso with his poisonous spiked tail while yelling, "Don't you look away from me!" Raiden was unable to scream in pain. King Rain cried out, "Raiden-onīsan!" With Raiden unable to defend himself, he was bombarded by several infernal fireballs from the sky. Raiden was thrown off of from Leviasatan's tail from the fireballs and fell towards his friends while being struck by more infernal fireballs. As he was about to land on the ground, he turned back into his humanoid form with a lot of burn marks on his skin, which was turning purple every second, and a big stab wound.

King Rain cried out again, "Raiden-onīsan!" Haria said, "I'll get him... Uruku!" Haria quickly exited Tioga's barrier of mirrors through a gap and quickly pulled Raiden into Tioga's barrier as fireballs were still hitting it. However, her mirror shields were about to break and the fireballs kept raining. It won't last much longer. As the children looked at the injured prince, Raiden's eyes appeared lifeless, though he was still alive but at the brink of death. Nekolas cried, "Raiden-ōji, not you too!" King Rain cried, "Don't give up on me! Raiden-onīsan!" Haria incanted, "Gijio! Urujio! Please, don't die on us too. Tio-sensei, Danny-sensei, someone, help me!" Haria tried healing him by freezing his wounds and increasing the healing rate, but just like with Leo, it won't be good enough; only death awaits the heroic Demon Prince. Tioga said, "My mirror shields won't last any longer." Everyone was worried about Prince Raiden and their own lives as Tioga's mirrors are breaking fast. The moment Tioga's shields break, they'll all be killed. Leviasatan said, "Still alive I see. You're not going to get out of here alive! Fire-Water Curse: Steam Breath!" As his Hellfirestorm was ending, Leviasatan charged up his signature curse and released it at the group. There is no way the kids can defend this one. As the kids' demise approached them, screaming in fear, agony, and sorrow, a giant metallic figure appeared before them, protecting the children. Leviasatan wondered, "Huh? What are you doing here?" Who or what is this titanic figure? A savior? A guardian angel?

Battle: Demon World Military vs. Netherworld Army and Lucid of Pride (between the Demon Capital and Zecross' Fortress)


[Insert random battle music]
The new war just started and Armageddon is rising. After Commander-Prince Zeon Bell and his military of soldiers from all divisions passed the outskirts of the Demon Capital, they encountered a huge legion of risen demons and devils of the Netherworld, led by the Great Demon Lord of Pride Lucid. After the soldiers stopped arguing and focused on the war, Knight Infantry Hyde said, "Holy smokes, that's a huge army.  Where did they all come from? And is that... a titan?" Hyde was referring to the Netherworld Army's commander, Lucid. His friend Reycom said, "We're definitely outnumbered. Your Highness, what's the plan?" The military units are very worried about the numbers on both sides. While the entire Ninja Division is assembled, many knights are absent as they are dealing with stranded risen demons and devils that wandered around Demon World. Even though the Knight Division is the largest military division, with several hundreds of knights assembled, they would still appear to be outnumbered by the Netherworld Army. Commander Zeon said, "We may be outnumbered but remember that we got the Medic Division backing you guys. Just stay alive and keep fighting."

Among the Netherworld Army, as Lucid was inspecting the Demon World Military, being intrigued by their soldiers, more particularly at the brightly-clothed commander, he said, "So, I take it that demon is leading the army. Pathetic, coming at us with such low numbers. Though I'm interested in the potential they may have. Though, their defeat will be inevitable. Alright men, get rid of these fodder. No need to worry about death when our Supreme God can bring you back infinitely." Both armies engaged in a huge battle, attacking each other with spells, curses, and weapons. Warriors engaged in sword fights while rangers used spells, curses, and ranged weapons. Demon World Military is really outnumbered but as long as the Medic Division protects the knights and ninjas and heals them, there may be some kind of chance, though the battle would remain at a stalemate, especially since dead units of the Netherworld Army would be revived within seconds with Neo Zecross' Resurrection æther. As a demonstration, the Ninja Infantry Strago incanted the spell, "Shidona Shuriken," creating large black shurikens and projecting them at demons, killing at least one of them. The Knight Infantry Victor incanted, "Birasorudo! Face my holy blade," enhancing his knight sword with light energy and slashing through some demon grunts. The demons they killed disappeared, then reappeared with no wounds. The terrorists were surprised and happy to be re-brought back to life with one of them saying, "Huh? I'm alive! Haha!" Strago and Victor reacted in shock, "Are you kidding me?" The Ninja Infantry Kurtis wondered, "But how?" The other demon criminals smirked and one said, "Hehe! That means we can fight as much as we want. Our God made us immortal." A devil soldier said, "Heh, we're not immortal. Seems our new God is kind enough to bring us back with the Resurrection æther. All hail, Neo Zecross-sama!" Some of the knights recognized that name, with Knight Hyde reacting, "Did he say Zecross?" Knight Victor asked, "Isn't that a revolution army leader? The one that we surrounded but disappeared? Something about his soul taken away." Commander Zeon heard and asked, "What? So... that titan at that castle is really him?" A devil said, "So you know about our new Supreme God, mortals. First demon in millions of years to transcend into archdevil, a God of Evil. I had fun torturing him in the Netherworld though I was surprised he overthrown our kings. But, we'll see you warriors of Demon World back in the Netherworld for some fun. Kehe! Hellfire Spear! Kaakakaka!"

As the military kept fighting, a knight infantry said while killing some evil demons with his knight sword, "They just keep coming back." Another knight asked, "What can we do?" Knight Infantry Hyde said, "If killing doesn't do anything, we'll have to seal them away... or incapacitate them. Reycom, our blizzard combo. We'll freeze the whole army. Everyone, stand back. Ready partner?" Knight Infantry Reycom deactivated his ice sword spell Gisorudo and responded, "It's worth a shot." Knight Hyde grabbed a hold of him and incanted, "Jikeru!" Hyde aimed at the ground and launched a gust of wind below them to propel them into the air. With them being the center of attention, some demons conjured ranged spells at them while some devils few in the air and fired off some Hellfire Spears or other ranged curses. Hyde used his wind powers to dodge in mid-air and when they were high enough, Knight Reycom incanted, "Rājia Ganzu Gikoru!" Reycom created hundreds of ice shards that spread across the battlefield, most particularly across the front row. Knight Hyde backed him up with, "Teojikiru!" creating a wide blast of wind to speed up the icy projectiles, in the combination of creating cold wind to freeze the enemies. At least thirty demons and devils were frozen or had a hard time moving in the cold. After Commander Zeon wondered, will that hold? Lucid, who was standing doing nothing behind the Netherworld Army, was a bit impressed, "Oh..."

Suddenly, the ground shook as a giant demon was stomping around and roaring. Some frozen demons and devils fell over and collapsed. The giant greater demon Zeferno, the former fifth Death General of the Revolution Army, made his entrance, yelling, "Out of my way or burn! Shigadyūkeru!" He blew black flames across his path, incinerating anyone in his way including frozen demons and devils just to get into the spotlight. The demon and devil allies he killed respawned a second later and were a bit confused on what happened. Following Zeferno were ex-Death Generals #6 Zedusa and #8 Zarpi with Zedusa yelling, "Will you all get out of my way?!," with one of her reptilian warriors telling the others, "Make way for our queen!" Zedusa then said to him, "Go meet up with the others," and the reptilian warrior said, "Yes, Your Highness," then camouflaged out of her way. Zarpi said, "Zeferno-san, calm down." Commander Zeon said to himself, "Great... even those Death Generals are back." Knight Reycom said, "That's the same giant we had trouble with." Knight Hyde complained, "Oh come on, just our luck." A devil soldier, who almost got stomped by the greater demon Zeferno said in relief, "Zoah! Demons outside the Netherworld are really no joke. Wasn't that the greater demon that kept challenging Leviasatan-sama for his title of Envy and Wrath?" Another devil said, "We couldn't even stop that guy. And now that we're out of Spirit World, I imagine him being quite the monster that not even us devils can stop. He's really like a devil even though he's technically not..." Zeferno heard that and said while picking up the devil, "What was that? I'm so much as a devil as you are. I am Zeferno, Devil of the Black Flames! You are nothing here compared to the Netherworld!" The devil apologized, "Zekeke! Sorry, sorry! Don't kill me again!" Given Zeferno's wrathful personality, it would be fitting for him to have the title of Great Demon Lord of Envy and Wrath if he had succeeded in slaying Leviasatan back in the Netherworld, which is why he kept challenging him. He was physically the strongest and toughest Death General of the Demon Revolution Army (not counting Dr. Zulu's Zetta Faudo). Zarpi said, "Zeferno-san, please calm down." Zeferno argued, "And why should I?" Zarpi argued, "Hey, if it wasn't for me, we would have all been trapped in—"

Zedusa interrupted and argued, "Will you shut up and take out these guys? Kureiruga!" Zedusa shot a beam of clay near the military, which almost hit the Knight Infantry Zeil with him reacting, "Whoa! Watch it! That was a close one." Zarpi kind of recognized that voice in the knight crowd. As she hovered in the air to take a peek, she wondered, "Hey isn't that... Zeil and Zophise? What are they...? How'd they...?" Zeil wondered, "Huh? Who's calling me?" Knight Zophise next to him wondered, "Huh?" Zedusa just now notice them in the back and said, "Huh? Zeil, Zophise, what the heck are you two doing over there?" Zophise wondered, "Okay, what's going on? Huh... Why do I feel like I know these..." Commander Zeon Bell thought to himself after hearing their conversation, darn, if they somehow get their memories back I'll... Nevermind, it's a good thing I didn't give them their memories of their spells back, even though I should have done that before we left. Knight Hyde heard the conversation, thinking, crud, we can't let them know, and told them, "Don't listen to them. Just keep fighting. They're the enemy, so don't worry about it." Zeil said, "I guess so. But why do I feel like I know those three in particular? Hmm..." It's a good thing Zeil doesn't remember how to read minds because that would increase his confusion and may make him remember something. Zeferno yelled, "Just kill them!" Zarpi realized, "It's no good. They probably had their memories erased." Zedusa said, "Then they are our enemy. Guran Basilisk!" Zedusa summoned a giant reptilian rock beast. It roared and as it gazed as some of the opposing warriors, they turned into stone. Knight Zeil reacted in surprise, "What the heck is..." He turned into stone before he could finish his sentence. Zophise reacted, "Zeil? What... Huh?" Zophise accidentally looked at its eyes and turned to stone too. The ninjas remembered this spell and Ninja Infantry Strago said, "Don't look at its eyes or its summoner's eyes. Shidona Shuriken!" He summoned three large black shuriken and launched them at the reptilian stone beast without staring at it. Zeferno incanted, "Ganzu Shigadyūradomu!" As Zeferno was summoning a black, flaming meteor rain from the sky, Zarpi reacted in fear, "Eee! Let's get out of the way!" Commander Zeon incanted, "Jigadirasu Uru Zakeruga!" summoning a large white-winged creature to shoot powerful blasts of electricity at the meteors to destroy them but even ember from the meteors was falling towards them. Some soldiers got hit by the meteors. Even the petrified soldiers like Zeil and Zophise were killed by the black meteors. Next thing they know, Zeil and Zophise are screaming as they are falling into the depths of the Netherworld. With their memories gone and when Neo Zecross realized this, he didn't bother resurrecting them, since they are no longer his allies, with him thinking a second ago, so, even Zeil and Zophise were among the knights... They don't appear to have their memories so away into the Netherworld they go... Dimensional Æther: Judgment...

It's looking really bad for the Demon World Military. The medics are trying their best to heal the wounded but alas, it won't last. The Netherworld Army just keeps respawning non-stop. Eventually, Lucid himself became bored watching this and said, "This is getting tiring to watch. Want me to end this? I could take them out in one swipe." Neo Zecross was still having fun with the entertainment, "Not yet, though you could loosen this up a bit." Lucid said, "Very well." He summons his nightmare sword and proceeds to take a few steps. Several devils looked behind and one of them asked, "L-Lucid-sama?" while the other one asked, "My Lord?" Commander Zeon barely heard the name, wondering, "Lucid? Is that the black angel's name? What is he?" A devil in front of him said, "How dare you refer Lucid-sama, our Great Demon Lord of Pride, without honorifics. He's second-in-command and you should show your respect mortal demon! Hellfire—wait, what? Lucid-sama's going to take action?" Another devil said to him, "We should get out of Lucid-sama's way if he's going to..." Lucid engulfed negative darkness energy into his blade. The devils and resurrected demons were getting scared and the Demon World Military wondered what Lucid was going to do. Lucid incanted, "Darkness Curse: Nightmare Blade!" and flung a giant wave of corrupted darkness energy, which screamed across the battlefield with cries of despairs. Some medics and warriors tried putting up a defense but Lucid's attack easily broke right through them. Commander Zeon yelled, "Everyone, get out of the way!" As the soldiers were trying to move away, dozens of demons and devils on both sides got hit and were killed almost immediately with some surviving the dreadful attack but ended up heavily injured. All of the currently known soldiers, including Knight Infantry Victor, Ninja Infantry Stago, Ninja Infantry Kurtis, and even the Blizzard Knights Hyde and Reycom, were killed from that attack. The medics tried healing as many injured soldiers as possible, but many soldiers were mentally feeling the effect of despair from the aftermath of Nightmare Blade, hence the name of the curse. Commander Zeon barely got hit from it but was still knocked down with heavy damage from the impact and said, "Keh! Urgh... So, this is the power... of an archdevil? How can we, how can win? Darn it! It's hopeless!" Seems like Commander Zeon slightly suffered the emotional effect of that darkness curse.

Neo Zecross was a bit disappointed and said lazily in his giant throne outside his fortress, "Well, you could have held back a bit. Now there isn't much for a show." Lucid was actually holding back on his attack, yet, it dealt a huge amount of damage. A single Spirit World deity alone could easily wipe out the entire Demon World if they wanted to at maximum power. These archdevils could have destroyed this planet of Demon World by now if they wanted to, yet, they are just toying around, having fun creating chaos. Lucid said in disappointment, "I actually held back a bit. I guess I underestimated my power against these mere mortals. They are just a bunch of ants." Neo Zecross said, "You even killed some of our comrades, not that it would matter. Soul Æther: Resurrection... I could revive those warriors too to keep the show going but you're right, I'm getting tired too. Might as well finish... Wait a second." Neo Zecross was about to change his mind and obliterate Demon World from boredom until something happened. Lucid wondered then realized, "What is it? Oh, well would you look at that. They decided to finally show themselves." Suddenly, A giant dimensional portal suddenly appeared above the Demon Capital. Neo Zecross said with interest, "Heh, I didn't think it would take them this long to get here. A bit too late but this will be interesting. We can start a Ragnarök." All the demons and devils stopped fighting and were shocked as they noticed something appearing out of the giant mystical portal in the sky. Commander Zeon, who survived Lucid's attack but with injuries, said, "Now what...? What's..." It appears new strangers are arriving, but who could they be?

Scene: The realm of Paradise in the Spirit World (some time ago when the apocalyptic war just begun)


[Insert random castle music]
Some time ago, in a holy land far, far away, called Paradise, back in the ethereal world known as Spirit World... Inside was a holy palace that lies a giant bearded king with white long hair, muscular body, and light green angel wings. He also wears green Roman cloth and a tall, light blue crown with a halo around it and he wields a staff-shaped white lightning bolt. "Hmmmm..." He noticed that the Supreme God of Spirit World, King Yama—also known as King Enma, the God of Death and King of Spirit World Kingdom—was slain and that the archdevils of the Netherworld went missing. Another giant angelic figure, a crippled old man with a wooden cane, wearing an old yellow Roman toga, approached this King, "You sensed it too, haven't you... my Holy Son?" The holy king replied, "I never thought I'd see the day Yama-sama, our Supreme God, would be dethroned." The giant old man said, "Kind of ironic given that he's the God of Death and an archnephalem that kept balance between good and evil. Oh dear, I can't even sense those darn archdevils anymore. I thought your brother would have kept them under control." At this point, the archdevils have hidden their presence with Asmon's Lurking with the Thief illusion curse in Demon World. The holy king wondered, "Which brother are you talking about?" The old man answered, "It doesn't matter. But we may have a crisis on our hand. It's been a long time since the last one. Want me to gather the archangels?" The holy king said, "Hmm... Couldn't you use your Time Æther to revert time?" The old man replied, "I have attempted it, but since the death of Yama-sama, I was unable to revert time back any further than that. After all, whoever becomes the Supreme God has universal control over of the fourth dimension as the Supreme God must know everything, even the changes in time. Ehh, I should had foreseen this, though I'm getting too old for this. Some adviser I am..." The holy king said, "Too old? We archangels are immortal beings just like any deity. Something wrong, father?" The old man chuckled and said, "Hehe, I guess controlling time put a toll on my mind and body. I'm not as wise as I was, My Dear Holy Son. I'm glad I've given you the title of Paradise King when I retired from the throne ages ago... and demoted myself to the Great Angelic Saint of Humility." The Paradise king said, "You were always a humble father... Hmm... Might as well call in a meeting. Call forth the other three members of Four Great Angelic Saints." The old man said, "Very well, My Holy Son." He then taps his wooden cane on the holy grounds to call forth his allies.

The Four Great Angelic Saints (四大天使の聖人, Shi Dai Tenshi no Seijin) are a group of four archangels, angelic gods of righteousness. They are the exact opposites of the Four Great Demon Lords and the archdevils. While the Four Great Demon Lords have the seven deadly sins, the Four Great Angelic Saints have the seven virtues that oppose them, though the Angelic Saints came first. The ancient archangel, known as Saturn, is Great Angelic Saint of Humility, opposite to Lucid the Great Demon Lord of Pride, and he was apparently the previous King of this sacred realm called Paradise over millions of years ago. As explained before, Lucid and Hades were once archangels millions of years ago, native to Paradise, but they were banished for their crimes and their wicked hearts converted them into archdevils. They both created the unholy realm of the Netherworld after King Yama couldn't take their attitude in the Kingdom. Back then, neutral and evil demon souls resided in the Spirit World Kingdom with evil demon souls incarcerated in the Kingdom's Prison but King Yama figured that a new realm would need to be created to separate the evil from the neutral especially if the Kingdom was overrun by evil, which is why the Netherworld was created. The Netherworld's unholy atmosphere converted and metamorphosed evil fallen angels and nephelams (angel demons) into devils when they were banished there for their crimes. Apparently, Hades, known as Pluto back in Paradise, was one of the current Paradise King's brothers and a son of Saturn. The current King who ruled over the heavenly realm ever since Pluto and Lucid were banished is Jupiter, the God of Thunder and Lightning (雷電の神, Raiden no Kami, or simply Thunder God [雷神, Raijin]). His and Pluto's father Saturn, the ex-Paradise King, is the God of Time (時の神, Toki no Kami) but his time abilities are limited unless if he becomes the Supreme God of Spirit World. Saturn could be considered the leader of the Four Great Angelic Saints, but he's way too humble to be called a "leader."

A few moments later, two of Four Great Angelic Saints made their entrance to the holy grounds of the Paradise Palace: A titan-sized female archangel and a Roman gladiator-like archangel in crimson armor. The gladiator archangel asked informally, "You summoned us, dad?" The Paradise King Jupiter felt insulted for being asked without proper honorific and looked enraged, at least internally. Saturn said, "Watch your manners, boy. You know your father hates it when we speak to him with improper honorifics." The bearded gladiator tried apologizing, "Sorry gramps, I mean... Saturn-sama... and Your Holy Majesty..." The female archangel said, "Oh Mars... He didn't mean it, Saturn-sama, Jupiter-sama." Saturn said, "You're lucky I'm a humble old man, Mars. You don't want to be labeled as a fallen angel like your uncles did." Mars apologized again, "Yeah, like Venus said. So sorry, Saturn-sama, Jupiter-sama, Your Holy Majesty. I try not to slip up. Even to this day, I'm still not used to formalities for dad." Saturn and King Jupiter sighed and King Jupiter said, "Forget about it. We have important matters to discuss." Mars said, "Yeah, someone started a war, but it wasn't me. I may be the God of War, but still... Why didn't they invite us for battle? Oh, sorry, Your Royal Holy Majesty." King Jupiter sighed and said, "Forget it. But first, where's Mercury?" Mars looked around the palace and just noticed, "Wait, Mercury is not here yet? That's oddly strange. He's usually the first one here, given that he's the fastest thing alive. Or did he not get the message at all?"

Mars is the God of War. and the Great Angelic Saint of Temperance and Diligence. He is the exact opposite of Belphebub of Gluttony and Sloth. As the God of War and despite being an archangel, Gods of Righteousness, Mars loves fighting and he commands an army of angels in his Paradise military called the Peacekeeping Angel Army (平和維持天使軍, Heiwa Iji Tenshigun) as the military general. His personality is very similar to the demons Raiden Bell and Nekolas, who loves to fight, and he wields a long spear with pointy crimson blades and a crimson parma (Roman round shield). His spouse  Venus, King Jupiter's daughter, is the Goddess of Love and the Great Angelic Saint of Kindness and Patience, the exact opposite to Leviasatan of Envy and Wrath. Besides being opposite to Leviasatan, she is also opposite to her husband Mars as Venus hates fights and seeks on bringing peace and harmony, as Paradise's main peacekeeper. King Jupiter had multiple love affairs during his eternal life which is why he has multiple children with different mothers but he's currently married to Juno, the Goddess of Marriage, though the Queen of Paradise doesn't seem to be around at the moment, she is Mars' biological mother and she too is an archangel.


The family tree among Paradise's deities is pretty complicated as sibling engages in love affairs since there aren't a whole lot of archangels, though archangels can also descend into regular angels, whether it is forced due to punishment or if they wanted to. Unlike devils and evil demon souls, who could metamorphose and/or transcend into devils or archdevils by killing enough devils or killing an archdevil respectively and absorbing their spiritual particles, angels undergo a different method. Here in the heavenly land of Paradise, when a couple of demon souls with a righteous heart give an offspring, their demon offspring will metamorphose into angels (average-sized human-like beings with bright feathery wings) and angels can only transcend into archangels by the authority of the Paradise King. If one or neither have a righteous heart when they're born in Paradise, their metamorphosis will be incomplete, thus making them into nephalems (angel-demon hybrid). By a law of Paradise and Spirit World Kingdom, nephalems are unfortunately not allowed to be kept in Paradise and will be placed in Spirit World Kingdom. Another way for a nephalem to be born is being bred by a demon (or devil) and an angel, whether they have a good heart or not. In the Netherworld, if two evil demons or an evil demon and a devil create an offspring, their offspring will become a devil and that devil may end up betraying his/her parents, especially their demon parent(s). There is no mix in-between demon and devil unlike angels and demons for nephalem.

After Mars was wondering where his half-brother Mercury is, his wife Venus said, "It's strange Mercury isn't here yet, Mars-anata. Maybe he...?" Mars said, "Don't tell me..." Suddenly, another archangel suddenly appeared in front of the palace, stopping from a blinding speed. The youthful-looking archdevil said, "I'm here. Sorry, I'm late." Mars said, "Mercury, buddy, you're late. First time I've beaten you here. Where in the holy land have you been? With you being our Gate Guardian, I thought you ditched up and went down into the Kingdom to settle against those roaming devils. That wouldn't have been good as our civilians would have escaped again." Mercury is the Messenger God, the gatekeeper of Paradise, and the Great Angelic Saint of Chastity and Charity, the exact opposite to Asmon of Lust and Greed. Even though he's an Angelic Saint, Mercury was also made as Paradise's Gate Guardian since he can quickly multitask like blocking the gate down to Spirit World Kingdom, help out demon and angel residents, and be in meetings with the other Great Angelic Saints with his Speed Blessing. He was also trained in combat by one of King Jupiter's fallen brothers and wields a spiral wand called the Caduceus. Each of the gods based on Roman mythology in the Spirit World also have the symbol(s) of their name as an accessory or gear.

Mercury tried explaining to his family, "I never left. Actually, umm... Well, it's... Ahem! Our Holy Father, I know you hate doing this but someone has a request for you." King Jupiter said, "Not now. Unless if it can help solve our problem, we'll discuss this later." Mercury said, "Actually, these people... Well, they tried escaping Spirit World again. I stopped them but they seem to know how to solve this crisis, at least in Demon World. I'm asking you, Our Holy Father, for their permission." King Jupiter sighed and said, "Heeeeh... Is that so? Summon thy requestee." Two demons in white robes appeared into the giant palace: A male and a female. Two familiar faces but they look really tiny compared to the titan size of the archangels. The male demon bowed down and asked, "Your Holy Majesty, pardon our intrusion, but can you send me and my wife back to Demon World?" He raised his head, revealing to be the former Demon King Gash Bell, "I may know how to stop this war, at least increasing our chance at victory. Please..." And the woman next to him is indeed his wife, the previous Demon Queen, Patie Bell, looking very worried. Even after death, they are still very much alive, living peacefully in Paradise of the Spirit World. How can they solve the crisis in Demon World? Both Spirit World Kingdom and Demon World are currently in peril and it's only a matter of time until the devils and archdevils decide to attack Paradise after clearing Demon World and Spirit World Kingdom.
