I slowly wake up again, and noticed I was in my dorm, Echo cuddling against my arm.

"Take it easy, brother. You need some time to heal. Quite interesting book you have here, very creative what humanity can come up with about our life," said Apollyon, who's sitting next to me.

He put the book on my nightstand and walks towards me.

"So, when were you going to tell us about this little gal?" he asked, petting the Hydra's head.

"Sorry, you guys usually just pop in and out, so I never get the chance. Anyway, where's Luci? Let alone, my team mates," I asked, looking around the dorm.

"Your teammates will come soon, and Lucifer is still tailing Adam, though... he probably isn't going to last long until she figured out his location," Apollyon explained.

"Alright. Say... care to tell what happened while I blacked out? I was speaking to mother while I was partially dead," I explained.

"Let's just say, sis wasn't happy to know what happened. And since she's the ruler of Hell along with mother... you can probably put the pieces together," Apollyon explain in an uneasy tone.

"Anyway, I fear I need to return to my duties. But the moment Lucifer knows Adam's location, she'll come to visit you. For now, rest," he said as he walks towards the door.

"Alright. Thank you for everything, Apollyon," I said to him with a kind smile.

"Anytime, brother. Talk to you soon," he said as he disappear.

I fall back in the bed and let out an annoyed sigh. I lift the cover and look at the wound at my belly, revealing a long horizontal scar. Multiple heads of Echo look down at the wound as well, then look up to me with a worried look. A gentle smile started to form on my face and I started to pet the different heads of hers.

"I'll be alright, Echo. Don't worry about me," I said to her.

After twenty minutes or so, my sister appeared, and with company behind her. This person, was wearing a long, black cloth covering his head, a big, rusted scythe and a pair of translucent wings. The wings looked like screaming faces from the smoke that it's made of.

"Hey bro, how are you feeling?" Lucifer asked in a worried manner.

"Felling better, thanks to Apollyon. Who's your friend?" I asked curiously.

"'He' goes by many names, but he's mostly known as Death. One of the four Horseman of the Apocalypse," Luci explained.

"It's an honor to finally meet you again, Master Phoenix," he said, bowing towards me.

"Ehm... the honor is mine, Death," I said, trying to bow towards him as well.

"Phoenix, I know where Adam an the traitor are," she said in a serious tone.

Just then, I realize something.

"The recording!" I said out loud as I opened the menu on my mask and looking through the recordings.

"Recordings?" Luci asked confusely.

"This mask of mine records everything, and the last thing I remember before I blacked out was that Blake dropped a note in front of me. My mask can show what the note says," I said, looking through the different files.

After a few seconds, I found the file with the note and started reading it out loud.

"'Blake,

It has pained me since your departure from me and the cause...I regret to do this but you have left me and my followers no choice

Return to the White Fang and pledge your loyalty to us or your family, friends and team will suffer for your selfishness and fear...

You have 2 weeks to decide.'" I read out loud.

"She was blackmailed!?" I said after reading the note.

"That would explain a lot..." said Lucifer in a concerned voice.

Moments later, the door of the dorm opened, revealing my two teammates behind it.

"Hey (F/n), how are... you... Who are these two?" Rogue said as he unsheathed his Katana and pointed them towards them.

"Rogue, Nickel, calm down. These... are a few friends I made during my years at Mountain Glemm," I lied.

"We heard the news that our dear friend moved to Beacon. So, we came to visit," Luci explained.

"Oh... we didn't noticed them coming in. I'm Nickel, a teacher here and (F/n)'s teammate," Nickel introduced himself.

"I'm Rogue, another teammate of Team Sylph," Rogue said, putting his katana away.

"I'm Lucifer. Call me Luci," she introduced herself.

"Call me Malthael," said Death.

"Now... why are you two here?" Rogue asked in a suspicious tone.

"We came with some news for (F/n) about a mission of ours," Luci explained.

"But... we just heard of a recent incident he was in," Mathael explained.

"If we may ask... what is this mission?" Nickel asked.

"Just a personal vendetta against Adam Taurus," Luci responded.

The moment she said that name, Rogue form his hands into fists and his aura slowly started to radiate from his body.

"*Chuckles* I'm going with you. I have my reasons for Adam to kill him. So, you two, whoever you are, are taking me with you for this 'mission'," Rogue said in a dark tone.

"*Sigh* I don't want to do this, but he is a wanted criminal, so I'm doing this because I am a professional hunter and to protect Rogue," said Nickel, tightening his grip on his cane.

Lucifer and Death started to analyze the two teammates. Lucifer started to read their minds, judging their true reasons for going after him, and she could tell that both of them has suffered a lot through their childhood.

"Alright. We'll allow you to come with us," Lucifer responded.

"Before everyone goes, it's recommended that you guys disguise yourself. We don't want the White Fang suddenly target Beacon, or you guys when your just on the streets," I said to them.

Soon, they went to their dressers and changed uniform. While they were dressing, I started to talk with Lucifer and Death.

"So... Your teammates sure has quite a past," Luci started.

"Yeah, I'm aware of that, but maybe they need to to relieve some of their build up anger from their past," I explained.

"From what I can say is that they are quite powerful," said Death.

"They are. Oh, Luci. One more thing," I said, starting to detach my mask.

"What's wrong, (F/n)?" she asked.

"I want you to record Adam's death when it happens," I said, handing my mask to her.

"My mask will record everything, no matter what and you won't even notice you're wearing it," I explained.

"No problem. But... what about the girl?" Death asked.

"Avoid her if possible. She's there against her will, so don't harm her," I explained.

"Understood. We'll make sure that he'll suffer in Hell," said Lucifer with a confident and evil smile.

Moments later, Rogue and Nickel came out dressed completely different. Instead of the formal suit that Nickel wore, he wears black sweat pants, gray shirt and a long black jacket that's similar to mine. Rogue, on the other hand, wore an outfit that looked like a ninja. Everything was black, except his white fox ears and tail that were poking out of the suit, along with his katana equipped on his back.

"Looks great, guys. But before you guys go, allow me to give you something. Just in case," I said lifting my arm in the air.

Dust started to flow in front of me, fire dust and ice dust to be precise, and started to form two masks out of it, creating all kinds of complex patterns on it.

"Use these to conceal your identity," I said sending the two mask too them.

"Thanks, (F/n). We won't disappoint your friends with this mission," said Nickel, putting on the blue mask.

"I don't care about your friends, all I care having Adam on the other side of my blade," said Rogue in a serious tone.

"Come back alive, you two. Alright?" I said to them with a smile.

"It's going to take an army to take us down, (F/n)," said Nickel with a confident smile.

"That count for all of us in this room," said Lucifer.

"Now, go. I know that Rogue here is eager to kill the bastard," I said, patting Rogue's back.

"Understood. You two, follow us. The journey is a bit on the lengthy side," said Death, or Malthael as they knew him.

Lucifer and Death jumped out of the window, followed by Rogue and Nickel.

"*Sigh* All I can do now is to lay here and recover. Actually..." I started to say out loud.

I put my hands together and started to pray.
