Ok, what the!?
As soon as he got to the bottom of the staircase he could hear the wind howling and waves crashing violently outside. Pure found a door and looked outside.
Pure: A storm, down here?
Vincent: It's the passion of lust flailing souls about and it is not pleasant. Don't try to fly or swim in that water.
Seth: Then how are we going to get to the other side?
Randal: It looks like there are some rocks over there but you would have to time the waves.
Vincent: Bad idea. That's a trick route, no way to pass that way.
Pure: Maybe we can go a different way.
Pure looks up.
Pure: If I can find the right current in the wind maybe I can fly us through.
Vincent: It's usually a mess down here in the wind.
Pure: So we can't go up, we can't swim, we can't use a path, then what do we do?
Demon: Give up.
Pure: Uh oh.
Vincent: Succubus!
Randal: Tower now!
Pure ran back inside to find himself cornered and surrounded by Succubus.
Succubus: Give up, there is nowhere left to run, you will be here forever in our embrace.
Pure: Not how I'm planning to go down here girls.
The Succubus was moving in on Pure when suddenly he recognized one of them. He didn't say anything but they knew a certain hand code only they knew. He saw that there was a window outside he could get out and climb. So he told her when he fired, move your head. She nodded slowly and waited. Pure threw one of the chains at her and she dodged it once the chain was hooked outside Pure grappled himself out of the trap with her in pursuit in the front. The storm still prevented him from flying but he could just climb up the tower in which he did.
Randal: You know her!?
Pure: An old friend, don't know why she is down here though.
Vincent: You got friends in high places!
Seth: See if you can grab her and get her to talk.
Pure extended his tail to grab her and bring her close enough towards her to talk.
Pure: What the heck are you doing down here!?
Old Friend: Talk later! Get the bomb out of my neck!
Pure: What bomb!?
Old Friend: No talk, just hurry!
Pure scanned and found the bomb inside her neck. He then switched to his magnetic fists to try to magnetize and extract the bomb out. Once he did he threw the bomb away and it exploded.
Pure: That was close!
Old Friend: We need to lose the heat! Can you fly?
Pure: In this storm! No way.
Old Friend: The incantation on me prevents the storm from messing with my flight. As long as I am holding you the incantation can work on you, but the problem is speed.
Pure: I got that covered, but which direction should we go?
Old Friend: Head east from here.
Pure: Hang on!
Pure activated his wings and his thrusters on his feet. He disengaged from the building and headed in an eastern direction with the other Succubus in pursuit; Pure's speed was not match for the pursuit team once he activated the turbo in the rockets. Once they were a certain distance away they pulled behind a tower and stayed quiet until they passed. Once they did Pure's old friend showed Pure to a secret section of the circle only she knew about. Once they were inside they were safe from the others.
Old Friend: That was close.
Pure: Carolina, what the hell happened to you and why are you down here?!
Carolina: Can we save it for when we are out of this circle, let me get changed.
Pure turns around away from Carolina.
Pure: Thanks for the save, but how are you going to get out of this circle? I thought you are bound here.
Carolina: I am, but there are some exceptions.
Pure: Like?
Carolina: Give me a few minutes to explain.
Pure: Just so you know I got a girlfriend now so get that thought out of your head.
Carolina: Wasn't thinking it.
While Carolina got changed the others were asking Pure what the hell is going on right now.
Vincent: How in the hell do you know her?
Seth: What was that hand gesture!?
Randal: And can you trust her!?
Pure: I know her from school, she uses hand gesture is because she is deaf to a certain degree so she has learned sign language and I picked up on some of it to talk to her but she can still speak properly. Being in hell must have fixed that and if she can be trusted? I don't know at this point, but she has helped us so far, so let's see what she is up to.
Carolina changed into a more appropriate dress for the trip.
Carolina: There is one way I can help you and you won't like it.
Pure: Which is what?
Carolina: I become your slave.
Everyone: Wait what!?
Carolina: It's the only way for me to help you, but since we are in a hurry I stole this from the armory a few days ago when she showed up and started to command things. When I saw the reactors in her chest I knew you were coming so I kept it for when you needed help.
Carolina hands him a collar.
Pure: So what do you want me to do?
Carolina: Put it around my neck and lock it. It will do the rest.
Pure: You sure about this?
Carolina: Positive.
Pure put the collar around her neck and locked it. The collar started to glow and the collar made a mark on his hand.
Carolina: I am now bound to you, I will help you reach the bottom and defeat your mother.
Pure: And after that?
Carolina: We will worry about that later.
Pure: If you get hungry?
Carolina: there are souls all about I can feed off of them.
Pure: Which way is the way down?
Carolina: Two towers over heading south.
Pure gives Carolina some communication equipment.
Pure: Come on let's go.
Carolina got on Pure's back and they both took off towards the way down to the next circle. The blue flames didn't harm her since it knew it was his friend. When they got to the right tower they saw the other succubus waiting for them. They stopped before succubus spotted them.
Pure: Crap we are blocked!
Carolina: They knew we were coming this way so they blocked the path.
Pure: Don't freak out about this part ok?
Carolina: What part?
Pure: Guys.
Seth: Hello Carolina.
Randal: Nice to meet you.
Vincent: At least you have friends now.
Carolina: Who's that?
Pure: Three AIs that are with me since I'm now mostly a machine.
Carolina: How are you a machine?
Pure: Will sort that out later when we are out of this problem. Guys any ideas?
Randal: Best thing to do is thin their ranks.
Vincent: They will not be distracted easily.
Seth: What about a drone shooting at them?
Pure: The wind will mess them up.
Vincent: Not if they stick close to another tower.
Carolina: You will need something big to distract them.
Seth: Would a missile spray work?
Vincent: It would have to be big one.
Pure: Are there any other towers nearby?
Carolina: Four behind us and one in front of us but they will see us coming.
Vincent: What if they don't?
Pure: What are you getting at?
Vincent: Can the active camouflage go to her?
Seth: It could work but I would have to connect her by some way?
Pure: What about the chains?
Seth: That would work.
Pure: Then let's go.
Pure tied the chain around Carolina, activated the active camouflage which also went through the chains and worked on her. Once they were invisible they placed drones equipped with missile rains, which Seth controlling them. Once they were in place they waited at the final tower to the right.
Pure: Ok, they are in position.
Seth: They are waiting in position and away from the wind.
Pure: I got my missiles ready so we won't get spotted.
Randal: What are we going to do once they are distracted?
Pure: We get past who are left and go down to the next circle.
Randal: What about the captain?
Carolina: I got her covered.
Pure: Here we go.
Pure and Seth fired off the missile rains at the same time. Once they fired the missiles the succubus all scattered into different directions except for the captain. Pure and Carolina stayed low once they were distracted and got past all of them. When it was the Captain they went behind her and waited.
Carolina: Got a smoke grenade and a flash bang?
Pure: What are you going to do?
Carolina: I'm going to need that weapon to help you.
Pure: And how are you going to do that?
Carolina: Ninja defuse.
Seth: What's that?
Pure: Tell me when.
Pure gave the flash bang and smoke grenade to Carolina; she pulled the pin on the flash bang first and threw it in front of her. Once the flash bang deployed she was disoriented and didn't know where they were. They threw smoke bombs at her and made sure they were on her so that the wind around her would not be able to move away from her. Once she was completely engulfed in smoke Carolina reached in and grabbed the weapon which was an electric whip.
Carolina: Got it!
Pure: Now let's get out of here!
The both of them bolted towards the tower with the Succubus team in full pursuit. They dove in through the bottom of the tower and started to go down. Once they got down to a certain point the collar started to glow the other Succubus could not go further.
Succubus: Why would you betray your own kind for this mere soul!?
Carolina: He is more than a mere soul he is the hope of everyone on the world.
Succubus Captain: You will be useless when he leaves hell.
Pure: Don't worry, I'll find something for her to do.
Carolina: And trust me he knows how to keep a person busy.
Carolina and Pure began to walk down the stairways to the next circle with the Succubus screeching right behind them. They were talking about what happened to each other starting with Pure's story first. (This may seem weird since I put Cerberus at the door instead of the third circle but it made more sense to put him there since he is the person that guards the entrance.)
