Chapter 80: Devil Hand
Back at the training forest, Lea was sitting on a rock, along with Elfman and Lyon watching the sunset.
???: Hey, Axel!
The boys turned and saw Kairi, Mirajane, Lisanna, and Cana approaching them. Kairi was now wearing a brand new outfit.
The outfit is a unique hooded pink-and-black dress, with two small black cat ears. There are black ruffles on one side of her skirt and plaid on the other. She wears thick belted black boots. She wears thin white bracelets on her left wrist and a thick wristband on her right wrist. Her hair has been cut, now reaching slightly to her shoulders.
Mirajane: Doesn't she look adorable?
Lea: Yeah. Liking the look. (Kairi then gave a twirl) Cut your hair, too.
Kairi: Mm-hmm. So, you gonna try yours on?"
Lea: Uhh...I dunno. Maybe later.
Canna: What? Boo! (drinks a bottle of wine)
Kairi: But you always wear the same thing.
Lea: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This is how you pick me out of a crowd. I make myself easy to remember.
Lyon: That's true...
Elfman: It's manly!
Everyone gave a sweat drop.
Kairi: How thoughtful.
Kairi sat next to Lea while the girls sat on the ground.
Lisanna: Whatever works for you.
Lea: Nah, not really...
Kairi: Our training's almost finished.
Lea: Yeah...
Mirajane: (smile) You two did a good job.
Kairi: You've been a great help. You are all so good at combat. It's like second nature to you.
Canna: That's flattering.
Lisanna: But Natsu and the others are way stronger than us.
Lea: It would've been helpful if Mest was around.
Lyon: Why did he leave? He knows we were sent here to help Kairi and Lea with their training.
Elfman: He shouldn't have left.
Mirajane: That's true. But I'm also worried about him.
Lea: I'm sure he's fine. You said he was strong, he can take care of himself. I'm sure we'll meet up with him, once our missing friends have been found.
Mirajane nodded and they sat there in silence.
Kairi: Somewhere inside me is Namine. If we can free Roxas, we can free her too.
Lea: I guess so.
Lyon: Who's Namine?
Kairi: She's my Nobody. Naminé was made when Sora freed me from his heart. So, now that she's a part of me again, I figured all was right. But she can't look at this forest, feel the wind on her face, none of it. And if she could, it would be different for her. (short pause) her time was short, but she lived it, and that makes it hers. What right did I have to take those feelings and experiences back? They don't belong to me. Nothing's as it should be. Not for her or Roxas.
Mirajane: You really are a gentle soul.
Cana: Like Lucy.
Elfman: Such determination. That's so manly!
Lea: (small sigh) I know. Way back when I was a kid, I met this other weird kid. Somehow we became fast friends. Never saw him again—nearly forgot about him, too. Then, I met Roxas. Couldn't believe it. The two of 'em were identical. Oh, I didn't tell Roxas. Didn't want him to go vanishing on me, too. (pause) the kid's name was Ventus. He's one of the lost Keyblade wielders we're looking for. Think he still got me memorized?
Kairi: (smiles and points to her head) Oh yeah. Very memorized.
Elfman: I doubt anyone would forget you.
Lea: (chuckles) now that we're goin back, I'm worried about everything.
Kairi: Well, you don't have to worry alone anymore, Axel.
Lyon: Yes, you have us.
They all continued to watch the sunset. Unknown to them, they were being watched by the same big hooded figure that was sent by Vali in search for Kairi.
*Realm of Darkness*
In the Realm of Darkness, Riku, Mickey, and the wizards were fighting off against hordes of Demon Towers.
Sting: Holy Ray!
Sting joins the open palms of his hands together, with all the fingers on one hand in contact and unleashes a barrage of light projectiles.
Rouge: Shadow Dragon Waxwing Flash!
Rouge turns his body into shadows and then wraps himself around the Demon Tower, assaulting it with a torrent of shadows generated from his hands
Sting's and Rogue's attacks destroyed several Towers, but a few more rose from the ground. Lector and Frosch grabbed the Dragon Slayers before the Towers could hit them.
Sting: Damn, they're everywhere!
Lector: Where the hell are they coming from?!
Rouge: This is the Realm of Darkness. Yen Sid told us this place is filled with powerful Heartless. Though I never expected them to be this powerful.
Frosch: I think so too.
Sting: (sees another Tower coming at them) Look out!
???: Heavenly Body Magic Pleiades!
Six rays of light fell from the sky and destroyed the Tower. Jellal then landed on the ground.
Rouge: Jellal!
Jellal: Keep your guard up, there's more coming!
More Towers emerged from the ground. Meanwhile, Yukino, Sorano, and Meredy were fighting a Tower near the water.
Meredy: Maguilty Rays!
She launched a series of beams of yellow light in the form of swords at the Tower, destroying some Shadows.
Yukino: Open! Gate of the Two Fish: Pisces!
Yukino had summon dual spirits into the arena. The two giant eels, known as Pisces, rose behind Yukino and dove straight at the Tower, leaving some Shadows left.
Sorano: Angel's Messenger!
Sorano's round small angels then started devouring the shadows on the Tower. More emerged near the girls, surprising them. Just then, Orga, Rufus, and Sawyer ran up to the emerged Towers.
Bringing his hands close together, Orga generated a small but powerful sphere of black lightning in his hands.
Orga: 120mm Black Lightning Cannon!
He unleashed a condensed beam of black lightning at the Tower.
Rufus: Memory-Make: Sword of Frozen Black Lightning!
Rufus unleashes a rather large number of black lightning bolts, striking the targeted area from above. When each of such pillars of electricity hits, it is shown to generate a spiky formations of ice, which surges upwards from the point of contact.
Orga and Rufus attacks combined and destroyed several Towers. Sawyer than ran up towards the Tower and started to rapidly kick it, destroying dozens of Shadows in a few seconds.
Orga: Annoying Bastards.
Near the large rocks in the area, Richard, Macbeth, and Erik were fighting two Towers. Richard used Liquid Ground to make the ground beneath the Towers soften, keeping them in place.
Erik: Poison Dragon Roar!
Erik unleashed his breath attack toward the Tower.
Macbeth: Spiral Pain!
Macbeth caught Tower within a vortex of distorted air, which inflicts heavy damage upon on. The Towers that were stuck in Richard's magic were immediately destroyed by their combined attacks.
Macbeth: (sigh) At this rate, we'll never find Aqua.
Another one came up and Riku and Mickey slashed it with their Keyblades together, destroying some Shadows, but not completely killing it. The Tower kept coming at Riku, but he kept dodging it and jumped away when it hit the ground, causing the Shadows to scadder. Riku was still in his fighting stance and looked around to see where the enemy is.
Unknown to him, the Tower burst out of the ground behind him.
Mickey: Riku, look!
Riku turned and saw the Tower coming at him. But, colorful waves surround him and he was right next the Minerva before the Tower could hit him.
Riku: Minerva!
Minerva: Watch out!
The Tower came at the two and they immediately jumped into the air, but the Tower knocked Riku's Keyblade out of his hand.
Mickey: Riku!
Jellal: (ran up to him) Mickey!
Suddenly, Shadows surrounded Mickey and Jellal and they were both swallowed by the Tower when it came up to the ground, making them yell in pain.
After they were swallowed, something fell from the Tower and onto the ground, and it was Mickey's upgraded Keyblade.
Riku: Mickey! Jellal!
*Twilight Town*
Back at the Tram Common in Twilight Town, a man was sitting at one of the tables at the Bistro. He was a slim young man of average height with spiky, somewhat messy brownish blonde hair framing his face, dark eyes, and noticeably long eyelashes. This young man is Hibiki Lates, a mage of the Blue Pegasus guild.
He was sent here along with his fellow guildmates: Ren Akatsuki, Eve Tearm, and Jenny Realight to watch over Twilight Town by their Master Bob and fellow wizard Ichiya Vandalay while they help defeat the Heartless around Earthland.
Right now, his Archive magic is active and he is looking at the map of Twilight Town. Ren is at the Train Station entrance, Eve is at the Sandlot, and Jenny is at Sunset Hill at Sunset Terrace.
Hibiki: (telepathy) Ren, how is everything on your end?
Ren: No Heartless in sight. But the view is nice from here.
Hibiki: Okay. Eve?
Eve: No problems here.
Jenny: Hey, guys I see something.
Ren: What is it?
Jenny: It looks like some dark portal at the town near where I'm at. Wait...I see something coming out.
Hibiki: Can you describe it?
Jenny: They look like...black blobs... with yellow eyes...
Ren: Sounds like a Heartless description.
Jenny: Wait...they're doing something... They're tons of them bursting out of the portal! Oh god, they're coming towards me! Ahh!
Boys:Jenny!
Hibiki: Get over there, everyone!
Hibiki quickly got up from the table and started to run towards the Market Street entrance.
Hibiki: Right now!
Just outside of town at the haunted mansion, Ansem and Ansem the Wise had exited a corridor and entered the mansion courtyard. Unknown to them, the Twilight Trio had seen them from behind.
Pence: it's about time!
Hayner: (covers his mouth) heeey, shut it! (removes hand) c'mon.
The three of them then headed towards the gates as well.
(flashback)
After Sora and the others left on their adventure, the trio were sitting at one of the tables eating when a couple of people came up to them.
???: Excuse me, are you three Hayner, Pence, and Olette?
The trio looked up and saw Hibiki, Ren, Eve, and Jenny.
Hayner: Yeah? Who are you guys?
Ren: You wouldn't happen to know Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Erza?
Pence: Yeah. We just met them.
Olette: Are you the people they mention to watch over Twilight Town?
Eve: Yes we are. (sat right next to Olette) I'm glad I can help a pretty girl like you.
Olette gave a sweat drop.
Hayner and Pence: What a ham.
Hibiki: You are a very pretty girl. (came up to Olette, along with Ren) You will grow up to be a fine young woman.
Ren: Hey. How are you so good looking?
This made Olette a little more uncomfortable.
Olette: Um...thank you?
Hayner: (sigh) Are you kidding me? They sent these guys to watch Twilight Town?!
Hibiki: Hey, don't judge a book by it's cover.
Ren: As gentleman, we will give it our all.
Jenny: Never underestimate Blue Pegasus. My name is Jenny.
Hibiki: I'm Hibiki.
Ren: Ren.
Eve: And I'm Eve.
Hibiki, Ren, Eve, and Jenny: Blue Pegasus is here to help!
The trio looked at them with blank faces.
Twilight Trio: Okay.
Hibiki: Now, let's get started. (A computer like projections appeared in front of him)
Pence: Wow, a computer like hologram!
Olette: Is that you're skill?
Hibiki: Yes. I use Archive magic. It allows me convert information into magical data, which can be stored, enabling the user to gain access to previously stored information, such as other types of Magic.
Pence: Can anyone use it?
Hibiki: No. It's considered a rare form of magic.
Pence: That's a bust.
Hayner: Can you tell us what you're plan is?!
Ren: You don't have to be rude about it.
Eve: But he does have a point.
Hibiki: Alright, I'm sending your locations now.
Jenny, Ren, and Eve immediately ran from the Bistro and headed into different directions.
Olette: Where did they go?
Hibiki: I sent them to places in this town to watch over for any suspicious activities. Now that they're heading to their spots, I need you three to do something.
Pence: What is it?
Hibiki: From what Sora said, you know how to work the computer inside the mansion that's outside of town. Is this correct?
Pence: Yeah.
Hibiki: I need you three to watch over the mansion. Incase something strange goes on there, you contact us. Can you handle it?
Twilight Trio: Yeah!
(flashback ended)
Xehanort's Heartless and Ansem the Wise continued to walk towards the front door of the Mansion. Hayner, Pence, and Olette watched them from behind the brick wall. Ansem the Wise stopped walking and was lost in thought. Ansem hears this and turns to face him.
Ansem: What now?
The old Master doesn't respond and looks at Naminé's old room. Despite the way he treated her, he now felt guilty of what he did to her, Roxas, and Riku and Xion for what happened.
Ever since he was betrayed, he only thought about revenge for what happened. But, after what happened to Riku, and the pain Roxas had felt, Ansem the Wise wanted to make things right again.
Ansem the Wise: Please. I have created enough victims.
Ansem: Yes, you have. All the children sacrificed in the name of your research... So make things right.
Ansem the Wise: I told you I did not take her. Her disappearance was why I put a stop to the research.
Ansem: And that makes you honorable? You used Roxas and Naminé and threw them away. I doubt there's a merciful bone in your body. You took the girl, and hid her. (turns to the mansion) Now, show me the data you are hiding here.
Ansem the Wise: (solem) Roxas and Naminé... If there is any reason that I still draw breath, it is to atone for what I did to them.
The trio behind them gasped in realization that Ansem the Wise is on their side.
Pence: He said "Roxas."
Hayner: Yeah.
Olette: That man needs us.
Hayner and Pence: Yeah/Right.
Ansem the Wise: You've been acting strange since you took me out of the Realm of Darkness. What is it?
There was a pause.
Ansem: I met a boy earlier. He looks like the same age as Sora, but there was something interesting about him that I couldn't figure out.
Ansem the Wise: Figure out what?
Ansem: His heart has a strong darkness, but he's always so cheerful.
He then remembered what Natsu said to him the last time they met.
Natsu: SHUT UP!!! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME!!!
Ansem: Natsu... (smirk) I will learn your secrets.
Behind the stone wall...
Pence: Hey, did that guy mention Natsu?
The two nodded.
Olette: That means he's in danger!
Hayner: Doubt it. You saw how tough that guy was when he fought that giant black storm. I'm sure he can handle it.
The three of them continued to listen.
Ansem the Wise: If you do find the girl, what is it that you expect will happen?
Ansem: (smile) The child's memory holds a mystery to unravel—(walks past him) one concerning the battle we seek between light and darkness. You know something, and that is why you stopped the experiments.
Ansem the Wise: (turns to face him) You are completely deluded, Xehanort.
Ansem: (smirk) We shall soon see.
He then begins to push his master to the door, when Pence jumps out of his hiding spot to make a distraction. While he's doing tha, Olette sneaking in the courtyard t get the Wise out of there.
Pence: Yoo-hoo! (they stop and he improvises) 'Scuse meee!
Ansem: (turns around) Who are you?
Pence: Oh, well, I'm looking for a friend who used to live here.
Ansem: No one lives here. Begone.
Pence: (steps closer) But sir...
Ansem: No, no, no! Not one more step! Get out! (thoughts) Dammit! I don't have time for this!
He starts walking to Pence and Olette takes this as an opportunity to get Ansem the Wise to safety.
Olette: This way! (pulled Ansem the Wise away)
When Ansem turns around, Hayner jumps out and runs to do a flying sidekick.
Hayner: Hey, loser! (Ansem's Guardian appears and grabs him) Or not!
Pence: Hayner!
The Guardian then throws Hayner to the gate, but something white appears and wraps around Hayner, cushioning the impact and he falls on the ground safely. More appear to surround Ansem and they reveal themselves as Nobodies.
Pence: The squiggly things?
Hayner: (confused) They...protected me.
Pence: (helps him up) Hayner! Get a move on!
Hayner: Oh... Okay.
The boys then run back to town and Ansem turns his attention to the Nobodies.
Ansem: I serve the Organization. This is treason. (smirks upon realization) I see what is happening. Have it your way then.
Back with Olette, she and Ansem the Wise had made it to the sewer access and stopped to catch their breathe. Hayner and Pence soon join them.
Olette: Are you guys okay?
Hayner: Yeah, I think.
Pence: Nobody knows the twists and turns of Twilight Town better than us.
Ansem the Wise: (recognizes them) You are Roxas's friends.
Hayner: That's right. So you know him, too?
Ansem the Wise: Oh yes. Quite well.
Pence: Pay dirt. Guess it was worth staking out the old mansion after all, because this guy here is what I call a lead. (pulls out the photo)
Olette: That's the only proof we have that Roxas was our friend.
Hayner: Tell us about him. We wanna know him better.
???: My dear master. You are safe.
The four then turn to see the last person they expected to see.
Hayner: Who's there?
Ansem the Wise: Even, is that you? So...those Nobodies were your doing.
As proof, four spawn in. The trio's uncertain, but they don't attack.
Even bows and gives his explanation.
Even: I have been waiting for this. Gave up a normal life in order to plant myself in the Organization. And when I heard Xehanort had gone looking for you, I realized is was my chance to find you as well. (Straightens up) For you see, I too, wish to atone.
???: What's going on?!
Everybody turn and saw Blue Pegasus mages running towards them.
Twilight Trio: Hibiki! Ren! Eve! Jenny!
Eve: Sorry we couldn't be here quickly.
Jenny: A giant swarm of Heartless appeared, so we had to get rid of them all.
Ren: It was strong, but we handled it.
Hibiki: I see that you three are okay.
Hayner: It was no problem.
Hibiki: But there's one thing I would like to ask...
Blue Pegasus wizards: (looks at Ansem the Wise and Even) Who are these guys?
Back at the Mansion, all of Dusks have been defeated by Xehanort's Heartless and his Guardian. Xehanort had no damage to his face or body. Since the Dusks are now gone, the Guardian disappeared from the area.
Ansem: This is ridiculous. I let three brats take him away on my watch! They couldn't have gone far.
He then started to leave the Mansion.
Ansem: I have to find him. He is the only one who knows where she is.
Just when he was about to enter the woods, he stepped on a small stick and a small part of the ground beneath him crumbled. The ground fell apart and he yelled as he fell into a large hole.
Ansem: Whoever dug this hole, I'm gonna kill them!
*at the Gummi ship*
At the Gummi ship, Sora received a call from someone that Drake, Kat, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Gray, Erza, Wendy, and Carla recognizes.
Morrison: Drake.
Drake: Morrison, been a while.
He gave a bit of a chuckled grunt as he removed his hat.
Morrison: Yeah well, not exactly easy tracking your main client when he leaves his job to join an official guild, you do then to keep a low profile.
Drake: For obvious reasons.
Sora: Who's he?
Drake: Sora, meet Morrison. This guy helped me find jobs when I had my Devil May Cry shop.
Morrison: You must be Sora, the Keyblade's chosen one. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Sora: (smile) Nice to meet you too.
Erza was the first to notice the look on his face.
Erza: Is something the matter? You seem rather troubled.
Morrison: (nodded) I overheard some talk with some Rune Knights at a bar on the way here, and I heard something rather... disturbing.
Gajeel: Disturbing how, exactly?
Morrison: Apparently a few days ago, the Magic Council was attacked by small group of demons.
That caught Dante's attention, Sora, Donald, Goofy, the wizards and the three Exceeds.
Lucy: Wait, you're serious?
Juvia: Demons attacked the Magic Council?
Gray: Well they got guts, I'll give them that much.
Goofy: Do you have any idea why?
Morrison: I don't know the specifics, but what I did hear left me concerned. I even heard, that these demons were actually part of some new Dark Guild.
If they weren't more surprised before, they certainly were now.
Modeus: Are you certain of this?
Morrison: From what I heard, yeah. As I said, I don't know the specifics of this guild.
Erza: So demons are joining a Dark Guild; well considering we got Sparda's son in Fairy Tail, I guess it was only a matter of time before other demons would follow suit.
Lucy: So what are we gonna do about this new Dark Guild?
Makarov: (appears on screen) Northing for now.
Happy: Master? Why?
Makarov: While I do find this information disturbing, these demons attacked a facility owned by the Magic Council, I personally believe we should let them handle it.
Wendy: So we just leave it to them? Is that a good idea Drake?
Drake: Fighting demons is rarely a good idea.
Morrison: Maybe you and the rest of Fairy Tail should keep your head down on this one, Drake.
Trish: At least this new Magic Council is way better than the old one.
Lady: Politics always give me a headache.
Laxus: Did you at least get a name with this new Dark Guild?
Morrison: Yeah. They call themselves Devil Hand.
*Earthland*
The cave was quite large, it's ceiling was more than fifty feet high. The only source of light was a series of torches that lined the walls of this massive cavern. It seemed completely empty, save for one individual who walked in from a smaller cavern entrance.
This person appeared to be a woman, a very attractive one at that. She had light skin with long blonde hair and blue eyes. Though those eyes did offer a very dangerous glint, with a hint of arrogance in them. She wore a loose-fitting white dress that was completely sleeveless; she also wore black wristbands. There were openings below to show off her long slender legs, with black sandals. But what stood out was the symbol of a black pentagram, the emblem of Devil Hand, on the bottom of her dress.
She looked around at several other cavern entrances, and when she didn't see anyone else, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Woman: You all should be here by now! You should know better than to make Master Vali wait!
???: Cut us a break Iblis. We only just formed this little group.
A male voice said to her as a man entered the scene from another tunnel.
This came from a tall man with spikey black hair, tan skin, and gold colored eyes. He wore a black undershirt with black pants and shoes. On his shirt was the white symbol of Devil Hand, but what stood out the most from him was a long golden jacket that stretched down to his legs.
Man: You can't expect us to be on time to every meeting just like that. I've got my own personal stuff to do.
Iblis: Keep yourself in line Mammon. You know better than to cross Vali.
???: Personally I wouldn't mind crossing him. After all he is a very handsome man.
A new voice, one that was clearly female with a lustful allure to her tone. The third person walked in from another cave. To say she was attractive would be an understatement.
She had pale skin with long black hair tied in a ponytail with grey eyes along with black lipstick. She wore a very short black shirt and skirt with nothing covering her very long legs, all the way down to a pair of black heels. In addition to the white Devil Hand symbol on her outfit, she also bore spider-web-like tattoos on her arms.
Mammon: (grin) Ah the lovely Asmodeua. You're about as hot as ever.
Asmodeua: (smile) Maybe you'd like some more fun in the bed when we're done here Mammon?
Mammon: (grin grew wider) Count me in sweet heart.
Iblis: Business first, pleasure later.
???: Both are so boring.
A fourth voice spoke up from another cavern entrance. A young and skinny man appeared in the light, though he did not walk onto the scene. No he appeared to be sitting upon a chair that levitated off the ground.
This man had long and messy brown hair with tan skin and blue eyes. He wore a blue baggy sweatshirt with black pants, but no shoes, he was completely barefoot. His white Devil Hand symbol was evident on his shirt, but even more so was the bored expression on his face, his hand was supporting his head as his chair moved on its own and into the chamber.
Man: Business is boring, and whatever pleasure you can come up with can't even seem the most little bit exciting.
Mammon: Guess we should be lucky you've got that fancy chair of yours Belphegor, else you wouldn't have gotten out of bed this morning.
Belphegor: Even your jokes carry no substance.
???: Oh shut up or I might just snap you in half!
A loud and booming voice got everyone's attention as a wall began to crack. A large fist broke through the cavern wall as it came crumbling down.
Out of the dust stepped a very large man, roughly ten feet tall. He was ripped to say the least. Muscles were on virtually every part of his body. The only clothing he wore was a pair of black shorts. He had no shirt, no shoes, nothing. His skin was red, almost like blood. On his left shoulder was a black tattoo that was also the emblem of the Devil Hand guild. He was bald and his eyes were merely pupils. His expression was one of anger and irritation.
Iblis: (raised eyebrow) Satan, you do realize you could have just walked here, right?
Satan: Didn't feel like it. So when are we going to fight something? I've been wanting to kill since I woke up this morning.
Mammon: When do you don't want to kill?
Belphegor: He's too impulsive it's almost irritating.
Satan: So are we getting this meeting started or what?
Iblis: No. We must wait for the others, as well as our Master Vali.
Asmodeua: Those two? Why would he ever think of recruiting them in his guild?
Mammon: Vali didn't recruit them, it was that creepy guy Arkham, remember? The same guy who got all of us.
Belphegor: Perhaps they wised up and left. I know I should of.
Mammon: Yet here you are, lazy-bones.
Satan: Do you ever shut up with your jokes, Mammon?
Mammon: I'm chatty, it's part of my charm.
???: You don't have any.
A rude voice came from down another tunnel. Two individuals came into the light.
One was a young woman around Meredy's age. She had long, free-flowing, brown hair with green eyes. Her outfit was mostly green, consisting of a plane shirt and a green skirt, while bearing the white pentagram of the Devil Hand guild. She also had black arm guards with black tights that stretched up to her thighs with white shoes.
The one next to her appeared to be a boy the same height and age as Wendy and Sherria. He wore a black robe that covers his whole body, also bearing the white symbol for Devil Hand. He did not wear a hood, and he had a bit of a gut. He had white skin, green eyes, and spikey brown hair.
Mammon: Hey, Leviatha and Beelzebub finally arrived!
Iblis: What took you so long?
Beelzebub: (emotionless) I was eating.
Leviatha: And I was there to make sure he didn't over-eat, again.
Asmodeua: (teasing) Awe, I think little Leviatha has found herself a little boyfriend. Finally got yourself something.
Leviatha: Like you need anything else, you slut.
Asmodeua: (angry) You wanna pick a fight with me, you little brat?
Leviatha glared, but before she could respond Beelzebub put a hand on her leg.
Beelzebub: Ignore her.
Leviatha: (looks down at him) Hmm, didn't know you cared Beelzebub.
Beelzebub: I just don't wanna cause any more ruckus.
Belphegor: You mean you don't wanna give your... other guy inside you... a reason to come out.
Mammon: Like he needs a reason to eat, just like that little village.
Beelzebub's eyes shot a cold glare straight at Mammon, causing the man's smile to fade as he suddenly felt the temperature in the cave grow much shorter. Satan noticed the glare and actually grinned.
Satan: Ooooh, someone's got the scary face. (Beelzebub glared at him in return) Your glare doesn't scare me, so why don't you let out the real you, you gluttonous beast.
Beelzebub: Be careful. (a cold wind began to encircle him) You just might get your wish.
Iblis: Enough! You bicker like children. We were summoned here by our master and his partner, and as your leader I am ordering you to cease this immature behavior.
Despite some glares in her direction, the other six individuals seemed to ease up a bit as they lowered any glares and hostilities they might have had for each other, just in time as the final two people walked onto scene.
Arkham: Thank you, dear Iblis.
Arkham and Vali appeared and walked into the center of the cavern, with the seven people gathering close toward them.
Arkham: Now since we are all here together, let us begin.
Satan: Why have you summoned us?
Iblis: (glares at him) Ahem.
Satan: (rolled his eyes) Sorry, why are we here, Master Vali?
Vali: Because our time draws near. Cragnar has found our target, and the Magic Council has begun to make their move as we predicted.
Mammon: So, does this mean we can get right to the fun?
Vali: Not quite yet. By now, my brother and Fairy Tail has learned of this guild's existence, but they believe Devil Hand is comprised entirely of demons. We must keep this facade for a little longer.
Belphegor: So we are just going to keep waiting? (slunk down in his levitating chair further and sarcasm) I can hardly contain myself.
Asmodeua: Maybe I can ease your boredom a little. (wink)
Belphegor: I doubt that.
Iblis: Getting back to the matter at hand. Why do we continue to wait? Why don't we just go to where the new Keyblade Wielders are at and grab who we need?
Arkham: You would do well not to underestimate that guild. Your pride in this group impresses Iblis, but we must place caution above all else.
Vali: I would have to agree.
Leviatha: But we should hurry. With how many demons we got here, it'll only be a matter of time before Organization XIII take notice. They'll either invite us to join them or try to obliterate us.
Satan: I hope it's the second one. (punched his fist into an open palm) I'd be more than happy to crush anyone who gets in our way.
Arkham: Patience, our time approaches. For now we must abide by the plan. Cragnar and his brothers are preparing as we speak for the mission.
Beelzebub: Why not just send us? We can get her and be back here in no time at all.
Arkham: Caution is advised. If we are to fully resurrect the tower, I'd prefer all our assets be gathered at the same time, so we can execute it without any further delay.
Iblis: So what do we do in the meantime?
Vali: We wait, watch, and listen. For within a few days, universes world's light shall be extinguished forever.
