As Gabriel passed through the Gate he found himself in hell,it looked like a distorted version of the human world,with half broken buildings,everything was enveloped in fire,the sky was full of fire and darkness,howiling could be

heard from the distance and screems echoed through the whole place,Gabriel was startled by his surroundings but he didn't have any time to space out,immediately he heard the growling of demons coming his way,it was like they

sensed him from the moment he entered the place,The ground trembled as an army of countless demons were running towards him. An endless barrage of the sound of thousands of feet marching,they were running forwards.

Up close it's the squeaking of leather and clanging of armor which overpowers all other sounds. The creaking of wood of the ballistae and siege engines can be heard only faintly and the growls of the war tigers are all but drowned

The was complete silence for a moment,or maybe a huge noise that covered up everything else around it,the sound coming from thousands of imps growling and screaming,for a moment Gabriel felt overwelmed by their number

but very quickly he calmed his mind and realised that the army coming his way were mostly imps,short red creatures with small horns and wings, short little legs ending in hoofs and every single one had a little tail coming out of

the back, Gabriel remembered what Mak has told him, these imps shouldn't provide a challenge for him and that made him feel more confident. As he prepared himself for the inevitable battle he muttered a couple of words...

Gabriel-Well, here we go...

The imps finally came close to Gabriel and begun their attack, Gabriel jumped as high as he could to avoid the first hit, the first line of imps lost their target and were now confused, as Gabriel begun to fall down he drew his sword

and aimed his fall in the middle of the horde, he fell crashing down hitting the ground with his blade and by the shockwave destroying many creatures, the rest that survived the initial blast cowared for a moment as they saw the

power of the person they tried to attack, Gabriel didn't stop for a single second and started to slash his way through the army of demons, the imps scared now were the ones running from him, they obviously were afraid of him, a

single person with a sword killing hundreds of them with every swing, Gabriel was dashing and slashing all over the place, this went on for almost half an hour and as the numbers of the imps were now not even close to one third of

them when they charged in, one imp yelled at Gabriel...

Imp-Hey!

Gabriel-Did you just talk?

All of the imps stood still as the scene went on...

Imp-Ya are not a claimed soul, ya are a live person.

Gabriel-Took you a while to notice it. Why am I talking to an imp?

Imp-What are ya doing here?

Gabriel-Where is Marbas?

Imp-Who are ya?

Gabriel-I asked you a question.

Imp-Lord Marbas is at his fortress. Now answer mah question.

Gabriel-No.

Imp-Who are ya?

Gabriel-I am not going to have a chat with you.

Gabriel killed the imp he was talking to and started slaughtering the rest of them. As he did that another imp tried to talk with him...

Imp-Stop!

Gabriel-What?

Imp-Why are ya killing us?

Gabriel-You attacked me....and....

Imp-We thought ya were a soul waiting to be collected.

Gabriel-And now that you know I am not, what do you plan to do?

Imp-Nothing.Why are ya here?

Gabriel-Where is Marbas?

Imp-What do ya want with Lord Marbas?

Gabriel-None of your business.

Imp-I might be able to tell ya where he is.

Gabriel-What would inspire such kindness?

Imp-I don't want to die without knowing why.

Gabriel-Where is Marbas' fortress?

Imp-I'll take ya there, just stop killing us.

Gabriel-How doIi know this is not a trap?

Imp-We can't harm ya, how would I be able to set ya up?

Gabriel-True...

Gabriel and that specific imp then went on their way to Marbas' fortress ,the remnants of the army scattered all over the place and the pile of bodies that Gabriel left behind stayed there to remind them of what would happen if

by any chance they tried to set up a trap for him.The imp as of now didn't have any reason to fight with Gabriel so it asked him directly...

Imp-Who are ya?

Gabriel-My name is Gabriel.

Imp-Ya are the one that forced Rossallia back in hell.

Gabriel-I did kill a certain succubus...

Imp-How strong are ya?

Gabriel-Do you want me to show you?

Imp-No!Please no. Mister Gabriel then...

Gabriel-Yes?

Imp-What do ya want with Lord Marbas?

Gabriel-IfIi told you that I want to kill him, what would you do?

Imp-Nothing.

Gabriel-Isn't he your master?

Imp-He is but I can't do anything to stop ya. All I can do is tell him ya are here for him.

Gabriel-How do you plan to do that?

Imp-I'll yell once we are near his fortress.

Gabriel-You think I will let you raise an alarm?

Imp-No.That's why I am going to leave now, there it is.

Gabriel-Finally.

Imp-I presume that ya will let me live since I showed ya the way.

Gabriel-You presume false."Gabriel sliced the imp's head"

Gabriel-Poor bastard. Now it's you and me ashole...

So Gabriel is right out of Marbas' fortress,he now has to think of a plan, how to get in and how to find Marbas and kill him,the fortress was huge, apart from broken walls and many rubble scattered around the place had a few

intact buildinings and Marbas was probably in one of them, Gabriel jumped straight up and spotted the biggest of the buildings, he thought that Marbas would probably be in there, he aimed to land on the roof of that building and

smash through the ceilling. He didn't find Marbas' place but something that he probably would never want to see...
