"Only go as far as Redwood Avenue of Sreeburn, be back before midnight" "Yes sir" Satan has just started letting Gamer walk a few streets outside the walls, only thing is that he always has to be accompanied by someone since there were still devils and demons trying to get him, and to stop him from running off again. I suggested taking him to Sreeburn since its one of the closest cities to the palace... but if I was going with the fallen, someone else had to come as well and today that someone was Angel. We walked out the palace gates, down a road. Gamer kept the hood of his hoodie over his head as me and Angel walked on opposite sides of him. The walk to Sreeburn remained silent, no one spoke a word... until- "H-how many cities are there in Hell?" Gamer asked us "Too many to count" Angel answered coldly "Hell's big enough to have more than a hundred cities and towns, but no matter what, there's still over population". "She's right" Gamer looked at me "Even with cleansing day to help clear the place, there's still too many people down here-" "People do anything to have a roof over their heads" Angel interrupted me while also making a point. "So what happens when you die down here?" another question "Same thing as heaven, the weak soul is placed into a waiting line and reincarnated into a plant, animal or person although down here, its a long wait and double the paperwork to send a sinner back to the human realm" Gamer looked at Angel for a second before looking at the ground "I didn't know it was that bad down here". "No one up there knows what we're going through down here, expect the heaven family and archangels" I told him as we turned onto Vine Lane "Even if all of them knew, none of them would care-" *CRUSH!* red smoke filled the air "Killens" me and Angel said at the same time. "What are-" "They're against peace with heaven and hell, hate the royals and love killing angels and angel supporters" Angel roughly explained "Stay with Angel-" "Why does he have- he's gonna run off if he's with me-" "Fine! Bring him to a blood bath" Angel signed "Follow closely, don't wonder off". We ran over to the town square, seeing a small group of people dressed in black and red lining up people in several rows and making them sit on the ground tied up "Now, if we don't have at least one of the seven councilors, we're cutting off heads! For example..." the killen sliced off the head of one of the people. "Ready?" I asked Angel as she summoned her scythe "Gamer stay here, leave with no one" he gave me a little nod before I took out my gun. Me and Angel walked out towards the killens, making it half way before "Stay where you are" we stopped "Palace guards-" "Not really, more like the only thing stopping you from getting any of the councilors" Angel smirked right before I started shooting at the killens "You get the left, I'll take the right" Angel nodded, running off as a few guys ran at me.
Fighting for about a minute and a half, long enough to not notice Gamer sneak his way over to the hostages and cut them all loose. I only noticed because one of the people had yelled out "Bomber!" I turned around, making eye contact with the killen who was about to throw a grenade at me. I shot the grenade, forgetting how close the asshole was to me. The explosion sent me flying back, arm broken, I looked over to see a killen dragging Gamer towards the leader of the group. I picked up the gun and shot at the killen, immediately catching his attention. They smiled as they pointed the gun at me, absolute fear on Gamer's face, he tried to take the gun off the killen but it was no use, until the killen went to pull the trigger-"Ņ̵͉̤̜̒̈́͠Ò̸̙͐!" a powerful shock wave knocked the killens to the ground "Gamer?!" he was sitting there, blank stare, completely zoned out, power flowing off him... dark power. Angel killed the last killen as authorities finally arrived. Her scythe disappeared as she ran over to Gamer, I rushed over to them. We started our walk back to the palace....

"There's no way he unlocked his power all on his own" "Well he did..." Aristomache looked over at Jackal "What?" "Only one other demon has managed to do that-" "No-" "Let him speak" Satan interrupted. Jackal looked over at his grandfather "The new murals, they have picked the next black councilors, we finally have an actual killen attack after centuries of silence from the cult, an angel falls and unlocks their own demon powers like another demon from the Threat Wing" "What are you suggesting Jackal?" Satan asked "...one of the councilors are starting to cough up blood, I don't know when they'll past, but the date is slowly coming" "Which councilor?" "Councilor Renard of the Beast Wing". Satan took a minute to think "Train the fallen, he must learn to be a demon now, Aristomache, get Euanthe to visit the councilors, especially Renard"....

"What do you mean-" "You can't look after a fallen Death, you're not allowed anywhere near that stupid little thing without permission" Jadarius hissed. "Just because a miserable angel helped you doesn't give you enough excuse to help it" "He's not going to survive that long outside the palace walls, I could teach him-" "Teach him what? How to hate you more than Angel does?~". I looked at the ground, he's right. That girl only spent a few months with me and now she hates my guts. I heard Jadarius sign "Such permission needs to come from Aristomache herself, including proof that you've changed your attitude towards new demons and devils-" "Enough" Aristomache walked over to us "The fallen is officially a demon, his powers have been unlocked... Death" I looked at her "You're now allowed near him whenever you want... don't prove you're not trustworthy enough".....
