They’re hurled out of the vortex portal and into the castle interior. The sudden shift is disorienting, but they quickly regain their footing. All four important figures including their companions have finally gathered under one place. The Demon God Lucifer’s throne room.

Hana, Sam, Krieg, and Soda all looked at each other in bewilderment. Processing what short of a miracle to be reunited with each other so fast after death.

You guys are here too?! Soda shouts.

I didn’t expect to see you guys here! Sam retorted.

This brings new light to the saying “To Hell and back” This is like super literal yo. Krieg said

It’s good to see you all in one piece ooooh my God Soda your arm!

They all look at Soda’s missing arm and with worry stricken faces they question what happened to him.

Well I was attacked by a Minotaur, the scariest shit that ever happened in my life.

Does it hurt? Sam asked.

Hell yeah it hurts, it’s freaking agonizing but there ain’t jack shit I can do about it now.

Did you take the Minotaur down? Krieg questioned.

Of course I did, I had help though I wasn’t alone. Guys meet Belros, my friend in Hell and my guardian I guess I could also say.

Nice to meet Soda’s friends, I hope we get along. As of now I’m a new member of the Legion.

They all looked at her with welcoming gestures, considering their faces are obscured with masks.

If Soda says it’s okay then it’s fine by me yo, Krieg said.

Welcome to the team! Hana smiled.

H-hello nice to meet you, I’m Sam…

I see that Soda isn’t the only one who wears masks, I guess this is a Legion thing huh? Belros asked.

Yeah it’s a Legion thing, we wear them to keep ourselves anonymous, Krieg answered.

Now that I think about it, Sam said out loud, there’s no reason to wear the masks anymore since there’s no authorities to bust us anymore.

They all looked at one another and they all unanimously agreed with a head nod. One by one they all took off their masks revealing their faces.

So that’s how you look under the mask Sam, as beautiful as I ever imagined. Garland retorted, making a heart shape with his hand and posing in such a ridiculous manner.

Sam, a girl with long messy pink hair and blue eyes. She has earrings and a heart shaped tattoo above her chest. Wearing a black hoodie with one sleeve rolled up, exposing her other tattoo on her arm which was tribal looking A red skirt and black leggings with blue shoes. The most timid of the group

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Thanks, Garland, I guess…she spoke

Krieg, a rather tall boy, at least taller than Soda, when taking off his ski mask, has brown dreadlocks and golden yellow eyes. He is a darker skin toned friend of the group Sporting a black and yellow sweatshirt, black pants and is obviously the muscle of the group for his complexion was bulky,

Oh well what a handsome face you were hiding Krieg, If I knew you were a stud, I would have been more lenient towards you. Brannelle spoke.

Hana took off her decorative mask to reveal a spunky girl with short messy brown hair, blue eyes and large hooped earrings. She wore a small leather jacket and a crop top hoodie showing off her abs. Booty shorts, long black socks and black shoes

I’m not surprised by your looks considering how wild you were on the battlefield, Nagai remarked.

Soda, the last to finally reveal his face. He had messy spiked jet black hair and red eyes. A perpetual frown across his face as if constantly angry. His leather hooded jacket, seeing worse for wear considering the missing arm, and a red sweater. Black leather pants and black shoes, assembled so that his appearance is unassuming when targeting victims. Because death is far scarier when it’s faceless.

Why are you mad? Belros asked.

I’m not mad, that’s just my face, Soda retorted.

It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance Nagai bow in respect to the gatherers. I’ve been accompanying Hana since she first woke up in Hell.

What a huge pain in the ass it has been for me, I was trapped in some kind of place where there was blood and rusty swords all over the place! I was living out what could only be known as a war but for the purpose or reason I got no fucking clue. Hana told her recollection.

At least you’re still in one piece, Soda snided.

Greetings to you all, my name is Brennelle, I was watching over Krieg this whole time…most of it was spent trying to make him do anything besides lazing around in Limbo. I myself still question how we became friends but it just…happened. I found his aloofness to be alluring, curiosity-wise.

Yeah, I just sat on my ass waiting for this to happen. If the boss was down here too, I just knew I’d get the golden ticket to this place. Way to go by the way, Soda, ya did good yo!

Thanks bro, I appreciate the sentiment, Soda smiled sheepishly.

Ohohoh ooooh~ is that embarrassment I’m seeing across your face Soda? Belros teased

Sh-shut up!

I guess I’m the last to introduce myself, my apologies, name’s Garland. I was accompanying Sam on her safe journey here in Hell.

We were at some kind of gala held in my honor, can you guys even believe that. I never gotten so much attention before. It’s ironic how I had to die in order to get some recognition, that’s so not fair. I’m still a bit bummed out.

You were at a party this whole time? Lucky, Krieg spoke frankly.

I told you I didn’t like the party…it made me feel even more lonely than I already am…It’s good to see you all, truly. Sam said shakingly, tears starting to well up in her eyes.

Seeing this, the three Legion members embrace in a reuniting hug, smiling and cheering that even in death they all met again despite their new circumstances. Their guardians just watched, a bit touched by the sentimentality these humans are showing each other. It was a breath of fresh air for the demons to witness in their lives usually riddled with pain, suffering, and hardships. This was a show of first hand human compassion and kindness. All laughing and giggling with each other. Despite it all they were still just a bunch of teenagers. A bunch of kids.

They all let go of their warm embrace, Soda being a bit embarrassed for being mushy at a time like this. While Krieg just smiled contentedly. Hana was rubbing Sam’s back while still coddling her.

You alright Sam, Hana asked.

Yeah, I think I’m good now. Thank you guys, you’re all the best.

I didn't expect to see something so heartwarming, I don’t exactly know what to say or think. I wish I had someone who was as precious to me as they are to each other, Nagai said.

If I had something like that, I would hold onto it and never let go, Brannelle smiled.

Friendship is stronger than words, it's the greatest thing there is. Garland spoke.

Ahem, your attention please, the God of Monsters is still here you know. As much as I find it heartwarming to take in the sight of familial embrace. Let us proceed with why you are all here, Lucifer spoke.

That being said, Nagai, Garland, Grennelle, and Belros kneeled before the mighty God Lucifer

Following their companions' gestures the gang all kneeled down as well showing their sign of respect, they didn’t want to offend the very being who governs all of Hell.

Apologies, Lucifer, I was getting caught up in the moment, Belros said.

Yes, Hana apologized, sorry about that

What do you mean sorry, get up you guys. Soda said.

Actually, Soda, their current behavior is appropriate. You see, I am not just the god of monsters, but also the goddess of this world. Being the Demon God and all that. Lucifer chuckled.

So if you are the supreme being of this land, can you transport us back to Earth? Krieg asked.

There's a lot of work to be done to make that possible, unfortunately. Your soul wouldn’t be able to survive in the physical realm any longer. You are bound to the Netherworld as a consequence of entering Hell. You all are essentially on parole here, no going back unless you can find a way. Luckily, I know of a way, the only way for you all to come back from the dead. Let’s make a deal…
