Katerina gathers her things. They all walk towards the entrance of the cave where she gives a short nod towards Soterios and puts on a pair of black gloves. Soterios concentrates, closing his eyes and focusing his energy to his tattoos. The dragon tattoo around his neck pulls itself from his body, forming a huge fire-breathing dragon. Soterios climbs onto it's back, carrying Melaina, who is still weak from coming back. Katerina flies up and sits on its back, and offers a hand to Garath. who joins them on the dragons back.
A couple hours later they arrive at the outskirts of a run down fortress. Just looking at it you could tell that no one had taken care of it in a long time. Katerina hoped her sources were not wrong and the infamous Fire Demon would not be at home. They land near the front entrance, the dragon becoming ink again after all of them are safely on the ground. The front door had been recently kicked down, torn completely from its hinges.
Katerina notices the small details of his home, such as some paintings. Most of Inferno's home appeared run down and abandoned. The group walks past the gigantic throne room where the mighty Inferno probably sits, but luckily he was nowhere to be found.
"Soterios and Melaina, you two stay here and fight off anyone who may come," She says as she continues walking down the vast corridors with lava running down the walls. Something had happened to this home to make it a bunch of rubble. Katerina finds the door she is looking for. Sources had told her that Inferno's son was located somewhere lower, perhaps a basement, and this is the only way she had found that led down. taking the steps one at a time she finds herself walking through more corridors. Finally they arrive to a crypt.
"Ah at last," she cries out running inside. Laying peacefully on a big cement slab is the boy Roy. She whistles and in no time Soterios is at her side. He picks up the cold corpse and puts it over his shoulder. The group makes there way to the entrance without a sound and exit the same way they entered, via dragon.

When Sotarios brings a dragon out of his tattoo on his neck Garath is amazed. "Wow that's amazing" puts his Crimson away and takes Katerina's hand to get on the dragon and says to Katerina"Thank you for putting on some gloves."
When they finally get to the fortress he noticed how run down the place is. Walks in and notices how big the place is on the inside "Whoa this place is huge." He follows Katerina to where the son's body is.When Katerina cries out "Ah at last" He says "Katerina we are trying to be quiet and really i could have picked him up, Soterios should have stayed where he was."
He gets back on the dragon and tells Katerina " Do you know how to stick to plans or, do you do whatever you want and hope it goes well if so, next time we do it my way."

"This was the plan the whole time," She says. They make their way back to the cave after first stopping by a recently abandoned battlefield where a young male solider lies fallen in the grass. He had been in a big fight, but hadn't fully died yet. Katerina grabs the male and brings him with them. Once in the cave, She makes the same set up only with Roy laying in front of her. She lightly cuts the corpse to get some blood and puts it in the cup. She stabs the boy in the heat and immediately starts chanting. When Roy sits up gasping for air she shoves the gem into his head.
"My name is Katerina. I saved you. " She says as he gains color. Soterios snuck the dead bodies out of the cave while Roy is still coming back.

Roy's eyes slammed open, as he felt life again. Upon gasping for air, he was struck with many flashbacks of his previous encounter with Morik. "My Queen!!!" He yells referring to Lady Kikyo. Who at this moment seems to have left Roy behind. Roy takes in the moment that he is once again alive somehow. Turning to his right he sees the witch responsible.
"You did this?" He asked. The witch explained how it was an act of saving Roy. But why? He had never seen her in his entire life. It was hard not to feel a bit of anger knowing how he ended up in this situation. The young fire prince pushes her aside as he attempts to get up. He then remembers his friends including Kira. How much time has pasted since his end? Did Oni overpower Kikyo? Has Morik regrouped Cruxis? Maybe this is Hell's Hell.
He had a weird feeling come over him. Looking down at his forearm and hand he could instantly tell that he wasn't fully alive. "What is this magic?" he asked. Bringing back the dead wasn't unheard for Roy but he has never seen it in action nor has he ever been involved. He has so many questions. One of them would be answered right away. In the palm of his hand, fire ignited turning his entire hand ablaze. It would appear he still had most of his powers from his past life.
He now looked around, seeing another person he didn't recognize. Garath, who remained nameless to Roy. He was unfamiliar with the cave they were in as well. He didn't remember dying here. "How did I ended up here?" surely if he had dead he would have had a proper burial since he was once the Leader of Hell. He now looked over his shoulder towards the witch with the most important question of all. "Why have you done this?"

Says to Katerina"Denying someones death is against the rules of life, people die for a reason and, sometimes people would prefer to stay dead. So I have a question what is your main plan for bringing these people to life?"
Are you planning to overpower someone? Only because you can't do it by yourself because, you know that you are too weak to take on whatever foe you wish to take on. I understand sometimes taking on someone very powerful it's best to take them on with an army but, if any part of you thinks you won't succeed, I would suggest rethinking your strategy. Especially if you think the foe might overpower the little army you have because, I'm guessing you won't be doing much of the fighting knowing you brought these people to life to fight for you, you want them to do all the fighting.
If not, I don't how much fighting training you have had. But if you want I can teach you a thing or two about fighting especially since you can use that touch of yours to your advantage so, If you want I can teach you how to fight better get close and even take down any opponent no matter the size. Also I can get you weapons that would be best suited for you if you wish to be better prepared if comes down to you and your foe."
Looks at Roy "Oh and Roy is it, I'm Garath Galagador leader and best fire user of my lizard tribe."

Katerina isn't too pleased. Both Roy and Garath have made her seem like a bad guy. She stands up glaring at them both. She moves over to Roy and forcefully grabs his chin with her gloved hand.
"Your are now my pet," She growls at him. "From this moment forward you will do everything that I say. If you ever disobey me or if you ever try to run away, I will destroy everything you have ever cared about. Right now you have your memories, and that bit inside of you of what you once were, but do not think for one second that I can't make you suffer. I can make you wish you were dead. your life is now in my hands forever." She shoves him to the ground, back where his dead body once lay before her. She turns her anger towards Garath.
"What I plan on doing with them is none of your concern. You will not try to get in my way or try to stop me. Yes I have a use for Soterios, Roy and Melaina. There use is my business. You can help me if you wish, but know this. If you decide to stay, you will not question my pets again." Katerina walks back over to Roy and squats down in front of him.
"You will be happy with us. We are your new family." She talks to him in a much softer tone then before. "You will forget that I was mean to you, but my warning will stay in your mind. You will behave and obey my commands. I will be nice to you. You were brought back because you didn't deserve to die. it wasn't your time. " She gently caresses the top of his head. They will all be happy. They will get her what she needs and accomplish what ultimately needs to be accomplished.

Roy wasn't happy at the fact that he was being treated like a pet. The former leader of Hell glared back at this witch with the intent to correct her. He was also upset to see her avoid most of his questions. Why him? "Saved?", he hardly thought so. Considering he had no idea how long time has passed since his demise. Roy picked himself up after shoving her hand away.
"I am no one's pet and I refuse to be treat as such!" he said while dusting himself off. "Brimstone...." he said, a bit surprised. Looking at the black stuff on his hand from touching the ground he could only assume they were in Hell. Seems he didn't go too far from where he had been killed. "Where exactly are ...." before he could finish he question he had answer it himself. Looking outside the cave he noticed in the distance could be his father's fortress.
"Impossible!" He yelled, his eyes widen with fear. He quickly turn towards the opening in the cave and threw out his left arm revealing some sort of strange gauntlet. A small orb in the center of it flashed to life a bright blue color. "Show me..." he ordered. The gauntlet orb began to spin and with that exploded with a blinding blue light that filled the entire cave but only for a moment.
After the flash, the witch and her "friend" could see a trail of light exiting from the cave and going off into the distance where the sky was bright orange and yellow with black clouds and red lightning appeared. Roy wasn't happy at all. "Why have you brought me here?!" he demanded turning to the witch. Why in the Hell would they bring him anywhere near Inferno's fortress? He had no idea that the fortress for his resting place til they disturbed him.

" Actually your plan is my concern since I am going help you but, like Roy said they aren't pets they have a mind of their own granted you control them but, it doesn't give you a right to call them that at all."
Gets closer to Katerina " Now understand me I'm going to help you but, if you back stab me you will regret it, and if I die leave me alone because I'd rather be dead then be alive and controlled by anybody. Do we have a deal?"

A Strange Demon walked up behind Lady Kikyo and the behemoth demon next to her known as Garakon. While originally it's intentions where unknown the Demon General turned around and waited for the demon to commence his report."I sense, a meeting of many great powers. The fate of the worlds are shifting. Heaven, Hell's vagrants, Hell, Strange human presences, It would seem that the only one's not there are the true leaders of hell or someone representing as such."He said in a strange wispy voice as though he was straining to whisper and his whisper came somewhat loud as though it was a normal talking volume. The demon after making his report bowed to his master and walked backwards a few steps turned and disappeared into the shadows.

KIkyo stood there, over looking all of Hell from her newly constructed fortress. A civil war was bond to happen. Knowing this, she would ironically make a deal with the devil, this being Garakon. "Who would have guessed my greatest enemy would be the one of my greatest allies...." she said before taking a sip of her wine.
"Garakon, remind me why you are here?", she knew why but wanted to hear it from him. The two were going to make a deadly alliance. She was now forging an army. A grand army. She was determined to take back of throne. Her right to rule was hers and hers alone. It was insulting to see such dishonor from her own. It couldn't be helped.
With the council hunting Lucas, they had made a treaty with her. This meant that for now Heaven was of no worry. She would be able to focus all of her efforts on getting rid of Oni now...

GarakonTheLastSoulDemon
~~
Garakon would answer in a few simple methods. The first was he stood letting the cloak around him shrink so only his armored form would show. "To be your general and command the armies of hell." While he answered he raised his arm amassing soul energy in a ball. It was however not a solid mass but a stream of many blobs of soul energy alike to wisps. In a mere moment these wisps exploded moving out like ghost like spirit seeking missiles.
These wisp missiles flew out around hell moving at a high pace. One thing that had been normal in Hell since time immemorial was to make statues of horrific demons. Sometimes just because they looked absolutely terrifying. Little was known about many of them. The wisps slammed into several of these statues doing no damage at first. The stone began cracking like an egg shell on these statues falling off revealing the demon was actually safe inside of such statues. These where many members of Garakons own personal army. Stored before he went into captivity for thousands of years. Re-awakened now with one purpose. As these statues awoke all over Hall primarily in the city but many elsewhere. Those elsewhere stayed where they were simply because they already knew their orders. If things were being re-awakened then their locations held relevance to the Titans of the past. However what relevance was most likely unknown to most others. For now the most important group in the main city formed in ranks literally forming a legion of demonic beasts. They where unlike many if not most of the demons of the modern hell. They where all weapons, warriors, demons taught and trained for generations to fight with magic weapons and their bodies. Four of them stood at the front waiting for Kikyo and Garakon to give them orders.
Garakon brought his arm down and motioned to the window. "Behold my master, I bring forth an army from my time that disappeared with no knowledge as of to where or why. My Legions. Standing by at your command to bring upon the Hell that was once feared by all others. I give you the honors of knowing that Hell is not without power, and it is all at your to do. I am your general and shall spurn armies of power like we once had so that this is but one legion of many. If I may I would like to dispatch a few of my more elite members to scout the current activities of the others to give Hell a true presence in the wake of things.

Kain found himself in the dark with very minimal lighting nearby although he could not place the origin. From where he was lying he could see Avery, but there was no motion from him. Through their telepathic bond Kain could tell that Avery was still in their realm; however something was not right: ”I can’t move.” He felt right, but it felt like he simply just didn’t have the strength to move. Out of the corner of his eye he could make out that they were not alone, and as he looked towards his unexpected guests Kain would rest his eyes on whom appeared to be the lead of the two men. Kain could swear he had the man before, while the other went through great lengths to stay concealed in the shadows of the dirt room they were in.
“Where am I? How did I get here?” His gaze would shift between the two figures, not entirely sure which of them would reply.
“None of that matters right now. Surely you have seen how corrupt and flawed Hell is after all of the wars and deaths that have weakened its’ infrastructure.” Antholon began to state, his posture relaxed with his head cocked to the side as he looked at Kain questionably. “I have seen you both fight and the revolution could certainly use your assistance. Hell needs a fresh new start because she will not be able to survive in her current state; and whether you like it or not, you cannot return to being a human and so hell is your home now. Do you not want to have a say in hell? Are you not a hellion?”
Antholon paused awaiting an answer that would never come and so with a step closer he would continue. “I can see it in your face – you want this change to come, but you are afraid to take that first step by admitting it. Will you allow that fear control you everywhere you go? It is even better to choose and be wrong than not make a choice in the first place.”
“Enough!” The second figure shouted, the words echoing throughout the many different tunnels in the catacombs. “Antholon, you are far too concerned with growing numbers which is causing you to slow down our progress. Not every war or battle is won with numbers.” The second figure would step out of the dark, his long dark cloak covering his body and shading his face; the opposite of Antholon’s own wardrobe. “You do not understand Enoch. I do not do this to have numbers on our side, but rather to have the people on our side. Power means nothing unless you have the support of those by your side…or beneath you.”
Enoch would pause mid step on his way to Kain as he turned his head about to look at Antholon. “Or you can simply take that loyalty.” The words hung in the air as Kain could feel the intensity of the situation. Still unable to move, Kain began to panic. “What have you done to me?! Avery! Help me, Avery!” His cries would fall on deaf ears, and before he knew it Enoch’s hands would be resting on his shoulders. “We’ve only done what was necessary. You’ll understand in time, Kain.”
No matter how much he struggled he could not free himself from the Enoch’s grip which simply got tighter and his fingers dug through the clothes and somehow into his shoulders. This was the least of the worries as he could see out of the corner of his eyes what appeared to be a gas cloud heading towards him. He could make out that its body seemed formless and black, but what appeared to be its face was white with two white gleaming spots that appeared to be eyes. What the hell!? before Kain could think of anything else the cloud seemingly engulfed him and he could feel the denser gas; or what appeared to be gas, force its way down into his lungs.
“Gunnvarr.”

Kikyo gasped at her new found general's power. Indeed he would be most useful. She sat her drink aside and started to gently clap at his performance. "My general indeed. It's been so long but my powers are returning to me. I need time. I have a small task for you in the meantime." Her eyes narrowing to the mountains in the distance. "Bring me Lucas..... Bring me Oni......."
The thought of waging a civil war for her right to the throne that should be hers without debate hurt her deep inside but she fully realized what needed to be done to sustain her kingdom as well as her rule.
"Dead or alive."
Her first order had been given. It was to be assumed by whatever means necessary.

GarakonTheLastSoulDemon
~~
Garakon lowered himself to a knee raising a fist to his chest. As a sign he had confirmed her orders. He stood and walked to the window. The whole army had heard the orders given by Kikyo. But Garakon would not disperse the entire army alike that instead they had many jobs with which to accomplish. One of which and possibly the most important for the forces of Hell was constructing The Demon Ludis. A training ground for demons that was designed by Garakon that redefines the concept of insane training.
He stood and stepped away from Kikyo for a moment as a group of ten demons came to him. These demons served as his commanding officers. His second in command was among them. There was a brief conversations mostly him giving orders including sending several scouts along the trails of the demons, to scout out activities and find out what was going on. Information was power and in terms of knowing who was doing what he found himself at a lack of that information thus. Lady Kikyo seemed to also lack this information, however at this point they had a large solid military force which it was unlikely to be expected. On top of this, the massive casualties that both sides had been sustaining for the thousands of years of absence may leave the sides against the true Hell a bit at a disadvantage.
Garakon was rather happy now and watched his men move out. Sadly he would not get his own wishes and get to fight just yet. Although he had no doubt he would be needed for the more powerful enemies which would be his desire anyways. Eating souls would be glorious.

Tha-thu-thump... Tha-thu-thump...
Kain's eyes would open wide as he realized he was in a Renzoken cocoon. He could see Avery on the outside looking in at him. Was that experience with Enoch and Antholon just a dream? Or did it really occur?"Kain? Can you hear me?" His words were mumbled through the Renzoken crystal, but Kain could still make out what he was saying. Kain always had to concentrate considerably to create a Renzoken Cocoon, and even to release himself from it, but this time was different. He didn't feel right, and nor did the Renzoken. Everything felt off.
As Kain forced his control over the Renzoken and moved his hands up the Renzoken seemingly warped and became misshapen to create an opening for Kain to exit. He felt so exhausted - as if the very action of freeing himself had drained him completely. Reaching up to grab Avery's extended hand, Kain practically rolled out of his cocoon rather than climbing out. He looked up at Avery who held Kain's head up to look at him,"Kain, are you okay?"
"Somethin's wrong, Avery." He knew something was wrong now. He felt so weak, so drained - he felt waves, almost pulses, of unease passing over his body repeatedly. He managed to work himself up into a sitting position with the help of Avery, and that's when he noticed finally where they were. "We're back in Hell? What in the hell happened?" Finally, it settled in. It was all real: Enoch, Antholon, that gaseous thing that attacked him. They had reunited Avery and Kain, but they had done something. "What did they do to me?" He could feel as fear and not knowing filled a pit in his stomach.
Using Avery practically as a crutch Kain made his way back up onto his feet. "We should get you help. It appears you need medical aid; you must rest and I shall retrieve medical aid for you." "No. Not just yet. We've gotta get back to the house, Avery. I need my equipment, and for now that's gonna be our safe place." Avery stood silent for a moment, giving Kain a long hard stare. He was right, however, they were too open at the moment and with the chaos that was slowly unfolding in the realms it might be more dangerous for him to be treated here. With a nod, Avery began walking with Kain to provide him support.
As they made their way out of the alley they had apparently been dumped in, Kain took in deep their surroundings. The air was hot and stale - all around them it was dark and rather dingy. It seemed even worse than before they left; not because of their visit to Heaven, but because for a brief few hours he was home. He was on Earth which he had believed all of this time he would never ever be able to see again. Kain could feel a knot slowly developing in his throat as his eyes began to water. On Earth he didn't appear to take on a full physical manifestation like he did here in the realms, but did it really matter?
Before long they made it back to the house they had claimed after becoming generals under Oni before all hell went loose. It was ransacked. The doors were broken, dust and debris of what was once windows and stone walls were spread about inside and outside of the building as far as the curb."I am unsure of this course of action, Kain."
