Appearing back in Hell, Firefly breathed in. Nothing like hot metallic smelling air to fill your lungs after traveling to a mortal realm.

She entered the fortress and appeared to Akure who nodded and bowed.

"Welcome back. How was the trip?" He asked

"Not what I expected. It was filled with snow and all I swore Frost cursed that realm," Firefly said with a slight laugh.

Akure chuckled but quickly grew serious again.

"So was it successful?" He asked

Firefly nodded.

"Yep I got all the ideas I need now," she replied back.

"And what exactly is your idea?" Asked Amerenx who appeared next to Akure.

"Glad you asked. Has Sombra returned yet?" 

"Not yet. He should be back any minute now-speak of the devil, '' began Amerenx as a shadow formed around the area and Sombra stepped out of a shadow portal.

"Ah welcome back Sombra how'd it go?" asked Firefly.

"They gave no indication that they knew of my appearance in the world," He replied.

"So what did you find?" Firefly asked the shadow demon.

"Your friend is alright she as Azhecke said and is with some unconventional allies," Stated Sombra.

"Anything else?" Firefly replied tilting her head.

"Yes. She is on a world few have heard of and even fewer remember-a dull grey lifeless world-I do not know its name and I doubt any of us do-she is with what seems to be three humans, with various powers-one could use shadow magic like myself, another radiated fire like Hell, and one was massive and had an aura that seemed to radiate nature itself." 

"What else?" Asked firefly.

"Hmm...a human and dragon hybrid it seemed and most interestingly an angel," he said.

"An angel...oh by the nine Hells Frost will not exactly enjoy that," Firefly deadpanned.

"My thoughts exactly..but what interested me the most was the two who seemed to be leading them-they were very tall and had auras that I've never sensed before-ancient auras, unlike anything I've ever felt-and partially it disturbed me." 

"Frost ain't really a follower type of demon so there must be a very valid reason as to why she would be working with them..especially with an angel," mused Firefly.

"Pardon the interruption, but Frost worked alongside angels to kill Vivitullus," Akure spoke up.

"That was an exception. Frost knew that captain and knew he meant no harm-most other angels, especially the aggressive enforcers would attack her on sight," Firefly replied.

Akure considered this then shrugged and nodded. 

"You gain an idea of what she was with them?" She asked Sombra.

Sombra shook his head.

"Even with my vast array of tracking abilities I could not find a reason..but as you said that group working together could not be together without reason.”

Firefly nodded and asked.

"Were you able to see her with your own eyes?" 

Sombra nodded.

"Yes, she along with the rest of the group headed to a ravine-the angel had come under attack from a pack of skinwalkers and even with the arrival of the rest of them the angel wasn't faring too well," he stated. 

"Hmm, skinwalkers...I think I heard of them before" Firefly mused.

"Probably, some do consider them demons though I'm not certain, I don't think they are-were getting off track here," said Skiá.

"What do you plan on doing?" Asked Scàth.

"I'm gonna send out scouting parties to traverse our territory and collect all spare metal we can find," firefly stated.

After the battle with Vivitullus parts of his fortress had exploded off and littered the rest of the territory with pieces of metal of various sizes-and there was A LOT of metal.

Though not infinite she figured that she could use similar technology found in some of the lower plans and forge metal from rocks-as rocks and other resources in Hell were infinite in numbers.

"But what are you using the metal for?" Asked Akure.

"When the time turner showed me at least a portion of his armies he had machines of war with him-so we will combine magic and metal and create war machines of our own," She stated, smiling.

"Ah so that's why you wanted to go to the mortal realm-they have no shortage of machines meant for war up there," said Skiá.

Firefly nodded.

"Right, and when we complete our machines we will add them to our defenses and hit them with weapons they've never seen before," she added.

The rest nodded to this while Akure asked.

"Just one more question, Firefly. what of the other seven Hell-lords? If the time turner attacks the entire realm? They are just in danger as we are and I don't think they are even aware of his existence," he said while crossing his arms across his armored chest.

"Hmm...I hadn't thought of that. I'll have to call them together and see if they will actually work together to help make us even stronger against this threat," replied Firefly.

Firefly secretly dreaded getting them together, demons were selfish creatures and rarely worked well with others, especially other demons.

She sighed and accepted that she would have to get them all together.

"Are the scouts away?" She asked Akure.

Akure nodded.

"Yes they are they have collected most of the metal and will soon be heading back," he replied 

Firefly nodded "good".

Meanwhile back in the void of the endless that same endless walked through the portal that it had created. 

A second endless was waiting for him on the other side and had crossed his arms.

"Hey! I got a question for you!" Said the second endless

The first endless mused.

"...Fine, what do you want..?

"Where did you put that time turner again?" The second one asked.

"Oh, he said he had some work to do and I believe he is responsible enough to handle himself anyway..it's not like he's gonna go and start a war or anything," replied the first Endless.

The second one shrugged.

"Yeah, I suppose they won't be that big of an issue...anyway," it mused.

Meanwhile in the shadows, a third endless sighed and face-palmed.

"Idiots..."

Meanwhile back at his keep, The Timeturner said to himself.

"Whatever she is doing will never work, my armies will crush her either way!"

_______________________________

Meanwhile back in the void, another figure was seen, however, she was not like any of the endless you would see instead she was virtually the color of snow, short equally white-colored hair that fell just below her ears, flowed slightly as she laid on what appeared to be a massive shield that expelled a large amount of pink mist.

She was clad in a dress like clothing, except for what appeared to be blades across her skirt that glowed with dark pink energy.

She was silent until she shuddered.

And she opened her virtually glowing blue eyes.
