James let go of Nana the moment Taehyung charged at him. Taking up his own demon form, he ran straight towards Taehyung. The moment both of them clashed, the entire hell rattled because of the immense power they held.
Seeing James was distracted, Hoseok and Jungkook ran to where Nana was to save her.
"Not so fast boys", Vani's voice erupted before both of them were flung off in the distance.
"This bitch", Jungkook cursed. "I never liked you anyway", with that he charged at her, removing his small dagger which now transformed into a full Katana, its blade shining deeply because of the light from the red moon.
Vani smirked removing her own sword as she charged at the man. Their swords clashed and before they knew it, it was a full on battle.
Hoseok went to Nana, as he helped the girl come out of her chains. A creature screeched behind them and his eyes widened as it opened its beak to throw flame at them only for it to drop dead the next second.
They looked at Yoongi who had magically killed the creature. "What", the older spat at them. "Just because I am lazy doesn't mean I am not powerful"
Ignoring him, Hoseok pulled the chains off me. He closed his eyes as he tried to heal me, only to see his powers not working. "What in the name of God..", he said looking at his own hands.
"Heaven healers cannot use their powers in hell", Yoongi educated him. "Your healing powers won't work here"
"Shit", Hoseok muttered as he looked at me. Before he could say anything, the three of us were thrown to the side as a big monster stood in front of us.

Jungkook and Vani walked in circles as they glared at one another, their swords circling behind them. Vani only had one power which was to open and close portals but like Taehyung and James, she had no dark powers of her own.
This made the game fair for Jungkook who was an excellent swordsman.
She charged at him and in no moment the swords were clashing against one another. Jungkook ducked, kicking the woman who fell to her feet.
She stood up and charged once again. Jungkook defended him but being the snake Vani was, she removed another dagger from her belt and stabbed him in the thighs.
Jungkook fumbled in his steps as the blade sliced through his legs and blood flowed from it. Vani smirked taking this as another opportunity to come at him.
Jungkook watched as Vani raised her sword to stab him, but being quick he put his leg in between causing her to fall. He put his own sword at a vertical angel and the girl fell straight on it. The sound of flesh cutting filled the area as the sword went straight through her stomach.
Vani's eyes widened as she looked down to see the sword right through her body. Her mouth opened slightly as blood trickled down it. Jungkook pulled the sword out of her body while mustering all energy in his leg and kicking her. Vani stumbled in her steps as she fell straight through the valley into the fire pits of hell — the last thing she saw before she died being a smirking Jungkook.

"Dear brother, I have waited long for this", James snarked as he transformed into a demon. His form was an exact replica of Lucifer, which caused the devil to be surprised.
It only took him a second before he changed his own form smirking at James "you were so jealous of me that you asked those bitches to make you into me. Sincerely James, imitation is the best form of flattery"
The younger was riled up with his words as he charged at Taehyung who ducked before hitting James. The later growled, his claws increasing in length as he glared at him.
Purple smoke spewed from his hands as he directed it to Taehyung who fought back with a black smoke of his own. The entire hell rambled as both these powers clashed.
Taehyung found himself losing, as he struggled to keep his feet on the ground. He ultimately gave in as the powers hit him, flinging him straight into the wall at the back.
James chuckled as he saw Taehyung attempt to stand up. "You know, it would be fun to end you in a minute because of how much power I have but I want to take out all these years of pent up frustration on you"
With that he swung his arm at Taehyung who stumbled back, blood forming in his mouth. Before he had an opportunity to recover, there was one more strike on his face. Taehyung heard his jaw crack as the man opposite to him shook his hand, surprised at how hard he hit his brother. Taehyung couldn't understand what was happening. How swiftly the tables had turned? There was no way James could have gained this much power.
He felt the power leave from within him as James flicked his wrist and a trail of purple left his hand. Taehyung felt his mental torture being put to use against him and he wanted to scream his guts out. Within all this he could only see one face. Nana. He had disappointed her. He couldn't save her like he promised. Her smiling face, that innocence and all the love she held in her heart.
Live Lucifer, live for her — he said to himself as he stood up, wobbling a little. James was taken aback as Taehyung managed to fight through it. Before he had time, a web of purple left Taehyung's hands and James was thrown right back.
Using this to his own advantage, Taehyung swung his arm at him causing James to hit the wall behind. He was on a hitting spree as he mustered all force and kept hitting James in the face. James was bloodied and bruised as he tried pushing Taehyung away. But to his dismay the older picked him up and slammed him into the wall again.
Holding his collars, Taehyung raised him into the air. A man almost 5 inches taller than him. He pushed him back into ground as his hands grabbed James's throat.
"Any last words brother before I rip your neck to shreds?"
James smirked. "Yes. Fuck you", with that he grabbed a handful of sand and flung it at Taehyung. He closed his eyes as suddenly his vision was filled with dust particles.
Charging onto his feet, James removed a dagger as he pointed it to the latter. Taehyung's eyes widened as he saw the weapon in James's hands. A Sterling Silver dagger. Not just any ordinary one. The one that was blessed by Keres, the goddess of violent death.
The only weapon in all three worlds that could kill him.

I, Hoseok and Yoongi were busy battling the monster that was currently trying to rip us apart. Yoongi was throwing around spells while I and Hoseok aimlessly ran around screaming and dodging that ugly thing. I had managed to find a sword lying around but I had never used one.
With whatever little courage I could find, I moved towards the demon. Yoongi saw me and I motioned with my eyes for him to keep that thing busy. He understood and threw a red ball of flame at it.
The demon creature was busy howling and wailing to even notice when I got so close to it. Within a moment I had the sword right through its foot. The monster screamed and slapped me away from there. Seeing how distracted it was, Yoongi immediately grabbed the weapon in Hoseok's hand and drove it straight through the creatures heart.
The creature took a step back before it fell to its feet and burned to nothing but rubble. I cheered and headed straight to the boys to give them a high five, when I saw it.
James about to stab Lucifer with a dagger in his hand.

Taehyung did not even have time to react when James used his other hand to push him into the ground. Before he recovered, he saw the dagger coming straight at him. All time seemed to have frozen as he closed his eyes. He couldn't overpower James now. His time had come to an end.
He never prayed to the heavens before but he did now.
Take care of Nana and don't let anything happen to her — he said to the man he had once called father.
But nothing happened. No dagger went through him. When he opened his eyes, James was frozen midway in his action. His eyes widened were looking at something in the back. There was blood coming out of his nose and the dagger fell from his hand.
Taehyung pushed him away. As he traced his line of vision, he wasn't prepared to see what he was going to.
Nana was a few feet away, on her knees as a similar dagger was stabbed straight through her abdomen.
