"That's sexist of you." Yen called him out for only naming the boys.
"Ok. How about Midnight sons and daughters." Strange said as he felt bad to leave out the women in the team.
"That's more like it. I love the name." Z said.
"Is it the same name he gave to the team in other universes?" Mordo asked as he could see the smile of John.
"Yeah. Midnight Sons was the team of all boys. It was a bigger team though with Ghost Rider, Spider-Man, Man-thing and various others. There were always 9 in the team." John siad.
"See I was right. Midnight sons." Strange said as he posed a victory sign.
"Who is this Ghost Rider? Man-thing?" Z asked.
"Ghost Rider? Now that's a story of his own. A long story of angels and demons. But Man-thing, he is exactly like Swamp-thing. You definitely know Swamp - thing. Don't you?" John said as Z had a close relationship with Swamp-thing previously.
"Yeah I know."
All got interested to know about the various members that their new team Midnight Sons had in other universes and John had to explain their stories to the others.
"Never knew the team we jokingly made had such a serious history." Dane said. (I don't remember Black Knight as being a member of Midnight sons but the way MCU is going now I feel they are going to incorporate him in the Midnight sons.)
They wanted to know more about different universes and thus John had to say some of the stories he read in the comics. In this way hours went by. John even had to bring out from his treasury to feed everyone.
But suddenly as they were all lazing around there was the voice that echoed in the dimension.
"Guys I will call you soon. Get ready." Constantine said. All got alert when that alert came. They knew that the fight was near.

And after a few moments they could feel something was trying to put them outside the dimension. Like last time, this time too they let it happen and in the next moment they were transported to an unknown place.
The place looked like it was burning in fire. With high temperature around.
The color was red. Both the land and skies. The place looked vast. Not because of the land and skies but because of the endless demons they could see crawling everywhere surrounding the place where they had been summoned.
The demons looked just like they had all imagined. Humanoid beings with red skin and two horns. even their eyes were red. And when they all turned their heads they saw a huge red skinned man sitting on a throne made of huge bones. It looked like the Iron Throne but it was bones in this case.
The man had larger horns And beside him stood a pale skinned person who had fags from his mouth and covered in cloak.
All of them who were summoned knew who these people were.
"Such a gift you had brought for me Constantine." said the man who sat on the throne.
"You wanted me to bring someone in order to be the right hand and be in that position I need to bring more gifts. Don't you think so?" Constantine replied with mockery and confidence. He was confident that they would come out as victorious. Since had said there would be more friends arriving
"So you have brought the Phoenix Force. That is so stupid of you." said the pale skinned man said.
"Why? Are you scared of fire that is more powerful than the sun?" John said as his entire body burnt in flames like Ace from One Piece (Johnny storm of Fantastic Four)
All the other demons didn't feel anything but Dracula had to cover his face with the cloak to stop the light of the Phoenix Fire.
John could feel that he had the powers of fire but he had lost the reality bending ones. He couldn't make things out of thin air, nor could he destroy as he wished for. But the fire of Phoenix wasn't to be looked down upon.
"See you still fear the sun though you have always claimed to be no fear. Chthon didn't give you all his powers dear servant." John mocked. Mephisto creases his brows by seeing the huge burning power of John who has used the Phoenix force.
Mephisto, seeing this, used his reality bending powers to stop the burning fire's intensity of John. As he waved his hands his hands were stopped by another hand stopping him right in his tracks.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." said the man who stopped him. Meephisto jumped away from his throne. He didn't see when a person was standing behind and even stopped him. This gave him a scare. In this dimension he knew everything that was going on.
When John and others were summoned he felt their arrival too but the man that just stopped him, he had no idea when he arrived.
It was because the man was the devil himself.
