It only took a couple of days to set everything up, both for their trip and to make sure no trouble would occur on the asylum when they were gone. Their defenses were simple and basically boiled down to hundreds of pacafistas, summons, Izuku's contracted souls and a blood clone of Izuku that should last long enough until everyone got back. In addition to that Carmella and Zestial would both be on the island to look over the steel mill Carmella will be leasing.

Once everything was taken care of all that was left was to pack for their trip and wait for Lucifer and Charlie to pick them up.

"That's the last of it." Izuku said closing his suitcase and sitting it on the floor which was immediately picked up. "Ah yes thank you Pringles." Izuku said unsure as he looked down at one of their newest hires.

This was Pringles, an imp of few words bur one hell of a hard work and Izuku's personal assistant. After it was clear that Izuku even with his clones was becoming a little overwhelmed and the need for some help became apparent they were quick to find someone to take some of the weight off.

Pringles gave a short bow before taking the suit case over to where Velvet's two suit cases were before grabbing the handles of the other two with his free hand and tail and walking out the door just as Velvet stepped out of her room, "Well he might be a creepy little fuck but damn if he ani't good at his job." Velvet muttered new designer purse over her shoulder as she tapped away on her phone.

"I'm just surprised you limited yourself to two bags." Izuku admitted with Velvet scoffing. "And just where was I going to put all my shopping for the other rings?" She questioned having everything that was in the asylum's storage unit appraised and everything that was safe to sell was old to the highest bidders leaving Izuku with quite a large sum of money that he allowed Velvet to take from until she could get her own cash flow.

As the two headed down the hallway to the elevator Velvet was still scrolling through her phone. "I've been up all night that Izu, making a list of all the best spots in Hell we need to hit." She said showing Izuku all the places she found on line. 'Clubs, fancy restaurants and top rated clothing stores.' He thought reading over the list before looking at an incredibly smug looking Velvet 'Cam't say I'm surprised.' He thought before looking down the list more and couldn't help but feel his surprise. 'There a couple of museums and historic sights on this list.' He thought before looking up a Velvet.

"Gotta say I wasn't expecting a few of these things on here to be honest." He told the fashionete who's smug look only increased. "Well let that be a lesson to you Izu, there's often more to a girl than she lets on." She chided him as they reached the elevator. "Yeah well you seemed to have a jam packed schedule." He noted and Velvet giggled. "Of course I did, we're traveling on someone else's dime, why wouldn't I go all out?" She questioned with the elevator doors opening after hitting the ground floor.

"Besides the princess asked for ideas and I don't disappoint my clients." Velvet swore. "Especially if it means helping me figure out what to do with my building." Velvet added on as Izuku began to understand.

The green haired boy had given many of his subordinates places to run so while Izuku would keep locations such as the main security building where the warden's office was located, other buildings such as the wonder tower with was under Alastor's control and the casinos which would be left to Husk to mange.

Maximizing efficiently and profit when the city was ready to be reopened.

"Well it seems the last of our party have arrived." Alastor grinned mic twirling in his hand while standing beside Lucifer who was waiting patiently along with Charlie, Lute the other overlords as well as Carmella and Zestial who were there to see them off.. "Sorry about the wait just wanted to make sure we had everything." Izuku apologized. "Oh no it's problem at all we all just got here really!" Charlie was quick to reassure the pair though she looked kinda disheveled. "You sleep okay Charlie? You look kinda...rough." He couldn't help but ask.

Charlie's eyes widened in panic. "Yup everything is fine! Nothing to worry about with me!" She spoke quickly with a wide nervous smile. "Now now my dear daughter there's no need to lie." Lucifer chastised her with a teasing smile causing Charlie's eyes widened even more. "The cause for my darling daughter's appearance is simple. In her excitement she saw fit to repack everything again and again to make sure she had everything she needed. She did this all night." Lucifer explained causing laughter and chuckles to come from the group. "Is that so?" Countess questioned amusement clear in her tone.

"Oh yes in fact you should have seen how I found her this morning." Lucifer laughed and Alastor leaned forward. "Oh do tell." The radio demon requested while ignoring Charlie's waving arms. "Please don't!" She pleaded before rushing over to Izuku to try and cover his ears though the boy evaded each of her attempts wanting to hear the story.

"She was curled up like a little kitten wrapped around her bags, around the absolute mess that she left her room in." Lucifer finished his tale as laughter echoed around the lobby while his darling daughter. sulked in on the ground.

'Just exorcise me now!' She mentally cried an aura of dejection around her. Lucifer heartlessly ignoring his daughter's wallowing pity checked his pocket watch. "Well I do believe it's time we head out." He observed and with a wave of his cane a portal opened. "Now to go over the plan one last time we'll be taking the elevator to each level. Spend about a week in each ring and then move on to the next. So the trip will take about a month and half.." Lucifer explained as he a protection appeared in front of them.

"There's another reason I wanted to go on this trip around this time. After each extermination the other layers have a series of celebrations. They use the extermination as a kinda start off." Lucifer explained. "So our struggles for surviving is basically the signal to start partying." Don muttered through his cigar. "Why am I not surprised?" He questioned which was ignored.

"A marathon of celebrations while exploring through hell, a marvelous vacation." Alastor declared and the others couldn't exactly argue with the deer demon. "So like I was saying we'll teleport straight into the elevator, that way no-one will see any of you heading in there." Lucifer explained

For most sinners there was a barrier that stopped them from entering the building the elevator was located in. By teleporting into the elevator directly they can avoid being seen. Lucifer thrn faced Izuku. "You've already created that clone of yours right?" He asked getting a nod. "Yeah he's already managing the pasafistas and the summons." Izuku reassured causing Lucifer to smile. "Excellent., now it's best we be off." Lucifer suggested.

No-one argued and most with a nod towards Carmella and Zestial walked through the portal and into the elevator looking a little disbelieving that they actually managed to do it. "Once all but Izuku had stepped through the portal he approached the two overlords that were staying behind.

"Enjoy your trip Izuku, I'll be ready with an offer by the time you return." Carmella told the younger man who nodded. "Sounds good to me and thanks for watching after the place when we're gone." He told her before looking towards Zestial. "You too Zestial it means a lot." The oldest overlord simply smirked and tipped his hat. "Think nothing of it my young friend what's a favor between friends?" He asked getting a small smirk in return. "That and you have your own interest in the asylum as well." Izuku stated more than asked with Zestial smirking at the accusation.

"True enough, but can it not be both?" He asked to which Izuku could only nod in agreement with.

With their farewells taken care of Izuku stepped through the portal and with one last nod towards the two overlords and Pringles the portal closed leaving the vacationers in the elevator.

"Elevator 666 will be departing for Wrath in 5 minutes SO CRAM IT AND SIT YOUR ASSES DOWN!" The intercom announced as Lucifer strolled further. "And now that that's out of the way." He said as before h tturned to face his daughter and the sinners.

"Who's ready to get this vacation stared?"

Line break.

"You know I heard we were gonna travel through the rings the of hell. an old western train wasn't the first thing that popped into my head." Don muttered as they rode a private train through the desert. Wrath was a largely rural area with an old western style. The sky had orange colored in the morning that shifted to a pinkish-red hue in the afternoon. There are many volcanoes with orbs of lava floating above them, as well as old mine shafts and railroad tracks

There were also many hellish beasts roaming the lands. Bovines and horses with heads blazing with fire  and mouths filled with razor sharp teeth as instincts covered in armor made of bone that shout stingers with such potent poison it melts anything it touches.

"Speak for your self my good man, this is more than I could ever dream off!" Alastor exclaimed watching as pack of  feral looking jackals fought a with heard of deer that seemed to be covered in molten rock armor.

"So majestic." He sighed dreamily as Husk just raised an eyebrow. "That's one word for it I guess." He muttered under his breath. "Well I for one am enjoying my self so far." Dolly smiled before looking down. "Especially with this new wardrobe. Thanks for that your majesty." She told em. Once they got to Wrath Lucifer and Charlie quickly provided them with old western themed clothes.

THe woman aside from lute were given old western dresses. From the saloon girl dresses Dolly and Charlie were wearing to the high end dress Countess had requested.

Lute had tried the dress but quickly grew uncomfortable and asked to change so now she and the guys were wearing old western cowboy outfits.

"Yeah thanks, didn't know we could even get clothes like this anymore." Velvet said examining her outfit while secretly working on modifications to give the dress her own personal Velvety touch.

"Think nothing of it my dears that's just one of the perks of being the ruler of hell." Lucifer responded her chin in her head with an arrogant smile. "Now we've got two stops on our little trip here in Wrath." Lucifer revealed before the  train started to slow down, "And here's our first stop." He spoke as the train came to a complete stop as they left the train. "Welcome everyone to High Noon Studios!" He cheered while holding out his hands to the studio.

High Noon Studios turned out to be a shut down movie studio that despite looking like it was abandoned for years still looked relatively well maintained. Most of the group looked confused and unimpressed while Charlie groaned into her hands in embarrassment while her father beamed. Dolly however squealed as she looked towards Lucifer. "Is this really High Noon Studios?!" She questioned getting a nod happy nod from Lucifer.

"Indeed it is! I knew we were passing by and just couldn't resist making a quick stop!" Lucifer admitted while Alastor approached the studio. "Never did I think I would get the opportunity to visit this magical place. Between this and the wonder tower things are truly on the rise!" He laughed itching to look around.

Husk spared a glance towards the radio demon. "Never took you for a big movie guy." The cat sinner remarked with the demon in red sparing him a glance. "On the contrary my friend I often spent many a nights enjoying myself at the cinema! True it was no radio show but it held its own beauty as well." Alator sighed fondly while Izuku and Velvet glanced at each other confused.

"Okay can someone fill us in on exactly what this place is exactly?" Izuku asked with Velvet nodding. "Yeah newbies here remember?" Velvet reminded the older residents annoyed that she was out of the loop.

"Ah yes of course." Lucifer nodded before looking towards the studio fondly. "High Noon Studio was one of the biggest movie studios in all of Hell. Specializing in westerns it did also produce several other genres. Employing from all over Hell it was a pioneer both in story, special effects and invite ideas." Lucifer spoke fondly before sighing sadly. "Unfortunately the studios life like all things came to end. Creative differences, budget cuts, and over all unpleasantness hit this darling until it was left a hollowed husk of a once amazing place." Lucifer explained. "I always dreamed of performing starting in a movie here and I know Joy and Misery felt the same." Dolly continued wistfully looking towards the studio with wanting clear in heir eyes.

"An abandoned film studio? It sounds like fun." Izuku smiled before frowning as his Haki informed him of something. "But we should probably take care of  our little spy first." The green haired teen advised before extending his hand. 'And now Air Door.' Izuku thought as a portal opened in above them with something falling through it while screaming in surprise before slamming into the ground.

As the figure groaned and rubbed their head they were quickly surrounded. "And just who might you be?" Lucifer asked as the newcomer got to their feet.

The imp managed to clear the dizziness from his head and finally examined his surroundings. "What the hell happened?!" He muttered before releasing just who he was surrounded by. "Lucifer?!" He shouted out in panic. "Indeed. Apologies my friend here doesn't like being spied on." Lucifer explained as gesturing to Izuku and allowing the imp to realize exactly he was dealing with.

'Lucifer and his daughter, several prominent overlords, a fallen freakin angel and the human kid who's turning Hell upside down, just my fucking luck!' He growled in his head before managing to put on his best winning smile. "No problem at all. Better safe than sorry like they say. Name's Striker, it's good to meet you your majesty." He said extending his hand causing Lucifer to blink and Striker having to fight to hide his sneer.

'Surprised aren't you blue blood? Shocked a lowly limb doesn't automatically bow!' He thought in his head only for his rage and disgust to become shock when without hesitation Lucifer gripped the imp's hand gave it a hearty shake. "Pleasure to meet you my new friend. As you already know my name is Lucifer and this is my darling daughter Charlie." He gestured to Charlie who took his other hand. "Pleasure to meet you." She greeted with a smile. Ignoring the incredulous look on strikers face.

"As for the rest of the group." Lucifer turned only to frown. "Wow there's a lot of you." He muttered before giving winning smile. "Well you can meet them later if you wish. But for right now me and my friends are going to do a walkthrough of the studio. Care to join us?" A strange look crossed Striker's face before it finally settled on an easy going grin. "Sure why not, I've actually been staying here for a bit and could give you a tour if you want." Striker offered and Lucifer grinned and clapped his hands. "Oh that would be wonderful." He accepted.

"Well than what are we waiting for let the tour begin!" Alastor declared heading straight in to the studio quickly followed by Dolly who was just as eager to explore the place as the radio demon and was just a few steps behind him. The other overlords merely raised an eyebrow but without anything better to do walked into the studio.

"Your majesty's." Striker tilted his hat at the royals before entering the studio. Lute narrowed her eyes as she moved closer to Izuku. "You saw that right?" She questioned getting a snort from Velvet. "I think we all saw that girl. Fucker's got issues a mile deep. You sure we can trust him?" She asked Lucifer who hummed. "Probably not, but he seems to know a fight he can't win. Hopefully that will be enough to keep this from becoming unpleasant." Lucifer hoped as he started to follow after the others before turning around his hands spread wide and a huge and excited grin on his face.

"Now come on we've got a tour to Enjoy!"

Line break.

High Noon Studios like the rest of Hell took the term bigger and better to the extreme. The sets were massive, from cities on the same size and scale as the training sites at UA to arctic lakes that were actually frozen bodies of water, preserved through magic and or technology the group wasn't sure nor did they care.

Next they visited the costume department which the ladies proceeded to ransack until it was partially empty and it was easy to see why. Each article of clothing with as real and authentic as they came easily outclassing anything they might have had back on earth or up on pride. Velvet in particular had her finger's going multiple miles a minute as she examined fabric already plans forming and overlapping each other as she looked over her picks.

The guys and lute just glanced at each other with different expressions ranging from amusement to exasperation as they took their own picks and stored them in scrolls provided by Izuku with the Scroll-Scroll Fruit.

Only Charile noticed Lucifer subtly taking a midnight black dress and glance at it with a sad but loving smile before he looking towards her with the princess giving a sad but supporting smile of her own.

After that came prop room and that's where everyone truly had a fun. Like with the customes everything was made to work as shown in the movies. From the weapons to the animatronics no Hollywood magic bullshit what you saw was what you get.

If the costumes department had been striped bare they had had laid absolute waste to the prop departments. Striker despite having lived here for a while was more than willing to let them take what they wanted. "I've already claimed everything I wanted and got back at my camp." Striker admitted with a shrug. "As far as I'm concerned the rest is your's to take." Striker said with a smile watching them go to town.

From weapons to famous background pieces nothing was safe, didn't matter if it was a famous prop or just some nice looking background feature if it caught their eyes they took it. The most noticeable was Doll fiddling with her hair as she greedily sealed away all the giant monster robots with a greedy look in her eyes.

The last noticeable part of the tour was the hall of infamy. Show casing some of the most iconic and recognized employs from the studios history. Striker seemed especially energetic about this part. Describing with pride different events such as the inferno of the English City to the unscripted mass orgy and sacrifice on the ark set. However Striker got oddly somber when he got to a certain statue of a tall imp who was missing both a tale and an eye.

"Dead Eyed Billy. A mass serial killer and bounty hunter and the single greatest actor this studio. No retakes, no stunt doubles. Truly the best actor to ever be employed here." Striker spoke with pride and genuine respect. Lucifer nodded in agreement.

"Oh without a doubt. In fact my darling Lilith often sang his praises whenever they worked on a film together." The king added on causing Striker eyes to go wide for several seconds before heading quickly to the exit followed by the rest of the group.

As they left the building however Lucifer lingered his gaze on the statue of Dead Eyed Billy before his eyes drifted to the retreating form of Striker a curious look on his face before a look of relazaiton hit his face before a smirk grew on his face.

"Well this makes this next bit easier."

Line break

"And that ladies and gentlemen brings our tour to an end." Striker finished with a flourish, the smile of a true showman as he faced the victors. "I do hope you were properly entertained." He told the group. "Oh we most certainly were my goodman!" Alastor confirmed with Dolly nodding enthusiastically with her hands clapped together. "Oh absolutely!" She agreed wholeheartedly. "It was everything I could have hoped for and more!" She praised.

The other sinners along with Lute while far less enthusiastic did agree it was rather entertaining and was able to kill a good bit of time.

"Indeed it was!" Lucifer said quickly. walking up to the imp. "You truly know your way around the place." The king praised with the imp tipping his head at the fallen angel. "Thank you kindly sir." Striker gave another charming smile though everyone could tell it was strained. Lucifer paid no heed of this as he continued to speak. "Oh yes quite impressive." He confirmed again before giving the imp a sly look.

"And it's further proof that you're exactly the kind of man I need for my new project." Lucifer told the imp getting blinks from everyone else and a narrowed eyed look from the imp. "Oh. And just what project would that be?" He asked and everyone could the edge in his voice. Lucifer with a showman's flourish gestured to High Noon Studios. "Why to run the museum I've decided to build in honor of this wonderful studio and the irreplaceable memories it's made for countless people." Lucifer revealed to those around him.

The reactions were pretty mixed. Lute, Velvet and a majority of the other overlords couldn't give less of a shit about what was happening. Lurker had his head titled in curiosity but that was about it. Dolly in contrast was squealing in excitement her hair dancing wildly and Alastor was looking at the film studio impatiently as if already tired of waiting for it to open.

Izuku gave Lucifer a confused look before looking at Charlie to see if she could make any since of this and the princess must have felt his eyes on her because she turned his way and upon seeing his expression could only shrug showing she was just as lost as everyone else.

The real standout however was Striker his mouth was opened in gasping disbelief his hands raised with his finger clenching and unclenching. His eyes were blazing with various emotions ranging from disbelief, hatred, sorrow clashed with pride, hope and just a bit of happiness before he finally closed his eyes, took a deep breath before looking Lucifer directly in the eye."Why?" He questioned shortly with Lucifer humming.

"Why what? Why am I building a museum dedicated to the history of a long since abandoned film studio? Or why am I hiring an imp that I just meet to run it?" Lucifer said before his smile became more of a smirk. "An imp that clearly despises my daughter and I if the not so subtle glances you've been giving us since you arrived." Lucifer finished a charming smile on his face that chilled Striker to the bone.

It was no secret for the few that truly knew the imp his hatred for all those in the upper class often going on and on in rants both sober and drunk that he would gladly slaughter blue blood there was. Goetia, Sin and even the royal family if given the chance.

However a single smile from the king of hell was enough to remind Striker of something he heard long ago and merely scoffed at before dismissing if from his mind entirely. Everyone in hell has at least heard of tales of Lucifer fighting of exorcist for centuries. Becoming something of a bogeyman for the angels until the fallen angel suddenly stoped, allowing the angels to properly start their slaughter in earnest.

Naturally Striker along with a vast majority of his and the younger geneations dismissed these stories as ramblings from the geezers.

However one smile, one damn smile from the king of hell was enough to flood Striker with doubt about everything he previously believed. The imp didn't even know how to explain it, he had heard one could see the power behind a lot of things. A person's words, in their eyes, in their actions.

But never had he been able to see a person's power because of their smile.

And yet that's what was happening despite his hatred for nobility Striker could easily see the power behind the king's smile and the massive chasm between them. 'H-How?...How did the rest of the pigeons ever manage to send him down here?!' Striker thought to himself as sweat started rolling down his face.

"Well Striker are you going to answer my question?" Lucifer questioned with the imp biting back a snarl as he looked away. "Both sir." He answered with Lucifer nodding. "Well the answer to the first is simple." The devil said looking away from the imp who let out a sigh of relief. "Well both questions are pretty simple. Coming back here has reminded me of far happier times." Lucifer admitted as he pulled out the dress he took earlier and looked at it fondly.

"Times we're people could come together and do what they loved and give their all to about stories everyone was passionate about, while at the same time being allowed to present their own creative ideas to see where they could fit in and what kind of audience they could reach." Lucifer reminisced and for just a moment an image of his beloved wife dazzling everyone on set with her breath-taking performances.

"As for putting you in charge Striker, I've got a few reasons for that." Lucifer told the imp as turning back to the wrath born and slowly approached him. "First you know the area like the back of your hand. You would know the places that needs renovations the most, as well as having a good idea of where to put each and every exhibit." Lucifer then held up a second finger.

"The next factor is your passion. Even with your hatred for myself and my daughter you were speaking with pride and gusto about everything you spoke of. That's the kind of energy I need for this place, not just some pencil pusher who's more concerned with numbers than the actual museum itself." Lucifer spoke with distaste at the end before taking a deep breath to calm himself down before a kind smile stretched over his face,

"And finally and most importantly I can't think of anyone more deserving than Dead Eyed Billy's own son to run this place." Lucifer said surprising everyone. None more so than Striker who stood frozen on the spot. Lucifer let out an amused chuckle. "Oh don't be so surprised you and he might not share the most striking resemblance but there's enough similarities to make a connection if one knows where to look." Lucifer said before he sighed as he paced a little bit behind the imp.

"But the real giveaway was the respect in your voice when you spoke of him as well as look in your eyes when you looked at the statue. The look of a son who would do anything to make his father proud. It's one I would know anywhere." Lucifer admitted with a sigh as he gripped his cane just a little bit tighter for a moment.

Finally he got himself under control just as striker managed to turn around and face him. "So please Striker let's work together to restore this place to it's former glory and ensure it's legacy never dies." Lucifer proposed extending his hand.

Charlie, Lute, Izuku and the sinners all had their eyes Striker wondering what the imp was going was going to do. The imp in question was meanwhile was as still as a statue as he was as his mind was at war with itself.

One part of it was snarling at him, demanding that he spit in the face of the king of hell while vehemently refusing the offer. Seeing it as just another way to be put under the heel of a royal. Worse yet it was the king of royals and he was using the place he grew up in along with the memory of his dead father to do.

The other part, the quieter part with was telling him to accept the other, that he was being genuine in his offer and that he truly did want to turn High Noon Studios into a museum that will allow his father's legacy along with so many others to shine for generations t come.

"I-I uh..." Striker stammered as he backed up to get himself some space. "I don't....I mean I' m not sure that I-." He trailed off only to hear a familiar laugh. "Well can't say I remember that last time I remember you stammering like that." A gruff voice from behind chortled causing Striker to freeze for just a moment before slowly turning and seeing a grinning Dead Eyed Billy.

"P=Pa?: Stiker stammered standing and staring in disbelief as he stood and was staring his father in the eye. Billy just gave his son a smirk as he tilted his hat. "Been awhile hasn't it kid?"

Striker was so caught up in seeing his father again that he didn't notice the others giving him strange looks. "Okay who the fuck is he talking to?" Velvet questioned Lute and Charlie who shrugged as they watched the imp looking at and speaking with empty air. Lucifer, Alastor and Izuku seemed to realize what was going on and remained silent.

"Pa." Stiker stated again rushing forward. "How the hell are you-?" He began to questioned only to pass through him. "What?" He glanced at his hands in confusion and denial before realization hit him. So he turned with a sigh. "So that's what's happening." "He grumbled to himself feeling disappointed despite what common sense told him other wise.

"Alright say what you wanna say and get the hell out of here. I'm not interested in talking to some fake version of Pa even one created by my own mind." Striker demanded using Billy to snort. "Alright than I'll start by saying why don't you pull your head out of your ass and accept the offer already?" Billy questioned causing Striker to sneer. "Now I know you're fake, my Pa hated nobles even more than I do." Striker stated to the image in front of him.

"Is that true dad?" Charlie whispered to her father who hummed. "I'm not sure. Lilith had much more interaction with Billy than I ever did, but the few times he and I interacted he was pleasant enough. So perhaps he was using his talents as an actor to hide his disgust." The king of hell theorized before thinking abut it for a second. "Then again I often did hear about Billy from the Goetia who spoke of him disrespecting them." Here he gave a long suffering sigh.

"But against it was the Goetia that I heard this from and given that they see anything less as licking the ground they walk on as disrespect I would take what they said with the slightest pinch of salt."

Back with Striker he watched the image in front of him give a long suffering sigh. "Of curse I'm not your real Pa you idiot we've been over that already. What I am is a figment created in your head and if I'm saying this crap that can only mean one of two things.

Here Billy raised his right hand and extending his middle finger. "Either your real Pa would have said the same thing if I'm a true copy of him." Billy than raised his left fist and extending the middle finger on that fist. "Or your brain is trying to tell you something that the rest of your dumbass is trying to ignore." Billy informed the imp whose tail rattled in irritation.

"So what I'm just supposed to become another lap dog for the crown to exploit?!" Striker demanded his eyes glowing with rage. Charlie wanted to step forward and try to ease Striker's rage but Lucifer gripped her shoulder and prevented her from moving. When she turned to question why Lucifer merely gave her a look and shake of the head causing the princess to turn back to the imp while biting her lower lip in concern.

"Oh corse not you idiot but really think about it. I worked with the queen of Hell countless times and I know you've meet her 2 or 3 times at least did she ever act all high and mighty towards others?" Dead Eye questioned before rolling his eyes. "Besides the stuck up directors and actors that deserved it?" He added on.

Striker growled as he ran through his memories trying to recall any memories where the queen of hell acted like how one would expect from one in her position. Only he really couldn't, for the most part Lilith despite her station acted like she was just any other actress on the set, only really using her authority when someone was acting unruly.

Even then that was more of Lilith the actress rather then Lilith the queen of hell.

And between the 2 or 3 interactions they had they must have exchanged maybe 30 words in total between all those interactions and she was always kind enough to him.

Still Striker couldn't just accept that a royal, the big one at that was just offering such a prize with no strings attached. Billy gave an annoyed sighed. "Look kid despite the fact that this is Hell people can have good intentions and this is one of those times." Billy gestured to Lucifer. "Clown boy over there is genuine in his offer." Dead eyed confirmed with him.

"And how would a figment of my mind know that?" Striker shouted back with Billy getting right in Striker's face. "Because you know it you little idiot! I taught you how to tell the difference between the sincerity and even the most convincing bullshit." He reminded the imp before both looked towards Lucifer. "And we both know he's being genuine as they can be."

"So do yourself a favor kid and take a leap of faith, you might just end up surprised by what happens." Billy said giving Striker a punch to the arm and although it was obviously not really there he could still feel the familiar sensation he remembered so fondly all these years later.

Striker took one more glance towards the group where Lucifer was waiting patiently before breathing through his nose slowly approaching the king of Hell until he was sanding about a foot away from the king.

"Sorry about that little mental breakdown." Striker apologized before extending his hand. "And if that offer is still open I'll be happily to take it." He said and not a moment later Lucifer was happily shaking it with both hands.

"Amazing news! Truly astounding! I was actually kind worried you would say know for a moment there and who knows how long it would take me to find someone else qualified to run this place but now that's completely out the widow because you said yes!" HE said twirling his staff before pointing it towards the sky causing fireworks to erupt in a dazzling display.

Striker looked towards the sky in dismay. "What did I just get myself into?" He questioned while Charlie hiding her face in her hands. "You'll get used to it." She promised though it was clear through her muffled response that she wasn't exactly used to it yet either.

"Now then." Lucifer said once more addressing Striker. "At the moment I'm giving my friends here a tour through Hell as I show them all around Hell and let them send a week in each ring. That way they can truly drink in each ring. So that means it'll be about a month and a half before any real work can be done." Lucifer admitted to Striker who shrugged.

"Not a problem, I'm pretty sure I need some time to actually process what just happened." The imp admitted hearing an echoey laugh that sounded like his pa's and when Striker looked back to where he had been standing Dead Eye Billy was long gone.

"If you say so." Lucifer spoke. "In that time thought I would love for you to write down any ideas you come up which I'll be doing as well. That way we have starting point." Lucifer proposed and Striker gave a hesitant nod. " I can do that." He admitted. "And with that I believe our business here is done." He cheered. "Now striker If you're not too busy why don't you-" Lucifer was unable to finish his question as the ground started shaking violently.

"Earthquake!" Velvet shouted trying to keep her balance. "Or hellquake or, or whatever the fuck you guys call down here!" She continued to howler. "Relax little lady." Striker tried to ease the newest sinner. "Quakes like this are common down here, especially round this time of year." Striker promised.

Izuku would have loved to believe striker words however there was something stoping him from doing so.

Namely the couple of dozen signatures his Haki was telling were rapidly approaching them. "Everyone into the sky now!" He ordered using the Flower-Flower Fruit to grab Velvet, Striker, Alastor, Dolly, Chief, Don, Surgeon, Lurker and Countess and lifted them into the air while Husk and Lute flew with their own wings as Lucifer carried Charlie.

Striker about to demand an explanation instead was gasping when the ground began to collapse in on itself until an enormous hole opened up in front of them and High Noon Studio. "Well that's peculiar but nothing that a bit of magic...won't... fix." Lucifer tried to encourage only for his words to die off in the end as many of the other's eyes bulging at what they were seeing.

The group was stunned at the sudden arrival of the horde and it was Husk who ultimately broke it asking the question that was on everyone's mind. "Who the fuck are those guys?!" He demanded as everyone looked towards Lucifer for answers but that presented another problem.

Lucifer was plummeting along with Charlie in his arms and Lute but the later quickly created a platform of light for her to stand on. Acting quickly Izuku created more arms to grab the royal family and pull them up.

"Lucifer what the fuck is going on?!" Izuku demanded of the king of looked just as lost as he did. "I'm not sure myself but my powers are gone and I don't know why!" Lucifer shouted in sudden panic getting startled and fearful looks from the others. "Same here but my devil fruit still works." Lute called out though she kept her eyes on the army of monsters below with her eyes widened when the most of the horde reared up and launched a volley of projectiles.

"INCOMING!"She roared only for Izuku to create one last hand, grabbing her shoulder and warping them all to the ground. "How about the rest of you? Your abilities working fine?" Izuku asked getting nods from the sinners. "What about you Charlie?": Izuku asked and the princess of hell shot some fire Into the air. "Mine's working fine." She promised getting a sigh of relief from Izuku.

"So it's only Lute and Lucifer then and even then Lute still has the Glint-Glint Fruit. That definitely gives a few implications. Though they're definitely not good." Izuku muttered the last part under his breath. So deep in thought Izuku didn't notice the horde of monsters approaching.

Luckily Husk did and quickly shock the young man's shoulder. "Analyze later boss, we've gotta deal with these pricks!" Husk reminded them with Izuku sparing him a momentary glance before looking back at the newcomers who were about ready to fire. "It's not a problem." Izuku promised getting blinks from the former overlords, Charlie and Lute. "And just what does that mean?" Countess questioned but didn't get an answer as the monsters fired off their attacks.

Lurker, Dolly and Velvet were ready to dive for cover with the rest going to block when just a few feet away the projectiles came to a complete stop.

"What the fuck?" Don questioned  what was on everyone's minds as the monsters roared out in confusion and anger as Creeper was raising his finger to touch one of the fire balls only to flinch when it and the other projectiles dissipated. "It's called Limitless: Infinite and right now that's all you need to know." Izuku quickly explained before facing Lucifer.

"We need names, any fighting habits and weakness these guys might have." Izuku ordered swiftly getting a nod from the king.

"The hunched over ones are imps, the original imps." Lucifer explained with Striker shooting the king a demanding glare but it was quickly subdued due everyone else's glare, slightly shouting at him to keep his mouth shut for now as Lucifer continued.

"They're scavengers possessing limited intelligence and driven only by a hunter's impulse to seek out prey - a task for which the Imp is naturally suited due to its innate capacity for violence. They're quite mobile and can claw at their enemies but the true threat comes from throwing fire balls as well as enhancing those fire balls. All that said they're pretty easy to kill no harder than any other hellebore or average sinner.

The big guys with the horns are the Barrons. While not as flexible as the imps they excel in every other way. They're capable of demolishing buildings with a single blow and can cross great distances nearly instantly and with those blades of fire around his wrist he can launch projectiles as well. As for fighting him well all I can say is hit him hard, hit fast and try not to get hit." Lucifer said as the demons were rapidly approaching them and were now banging on the Limitless to try and get through.

"Mind hurrying it up Lucifer? I'm still not used to this technique." Izuku requested with Lucifer nodding. "Right the floating meatballs is called a Cacodemon. They're the dumbest of the demons in front of us honestly. Almost entirely devoid of cognitive ability, sensory awareness, and otherwise commonly occurring impulses. Driven only by a singular desire to feed. Aside from biting its only other offense measure is being able to launch plasma balls at its opposition.

It is bulky though so getting through it's hide might be a challenge however striking it in it's mouth or eye is almost certainly a deathblow so be sure to keep that in mind.

Next are the Pinky's. Living battering rams that can tank almost any assault and can demolish practically anything they run into. Although they do have a major weakness in their tails. A good enough hit on that and their armor is obliterated. Enough Ice and physical force can break through it as well but the tail is your best bet." Lucifer said before finally looking at the armored demosn trying to bash their way through the invincible barrier with their axes and shotguns.

"And finally we have the previous royal guard with a pithera of abilities at their disposal the Marauders." Lucifer said and quickly moved on before anyone could question what he meant by former royal guard.

"Get to close and you get blasted with their shotguns, stray to far away and you'll get hit with a beam of energy. The best course of action is to maintain an average distance where they tend to favor their axes. Though don't think it's just offense you need to worry about. Unless you attack at the right moment any attack with be absorbed by their shields and will laugh a pack of dogs made of pure energy to attack their enemies." Lucifer finished his explanation absently noting the radio demon's face twitch at the mention of dogs.

"The key is to watch their eyes, Once you see a green flash that'll be your tine to attack but be cautious because that also means they'll be attacking soon as well." Lucifer finished his explanation as Izuku nodded taking in all the information.

"Right here's the plan." Izuku muttered. "And that plan is for you lot to annihilate the horde while I guard Lucifer, Charlie and Velvet." Izuku spoke to the overlords and Lute. "Excuse me?" Countess questioned not sure she heard that right. With Lurker and Dolly already shaking in fear as the rest were getting ready to fight.

"What are you saying you want to guard a powerless devil, his near pacifist daughter, and a brand new sinner against a horde of demons instead of being able to simply go out an annihilate the enemy?" Izuku questioned with the woman scowling unable to answer.

"Oh don't be like that my dear. Surly you wouldn't want to miss out on all the fun?" Alastor questioned before turning to Izuku. "I trust you'll be guarding us from the rear and providing cover fire?" He questioned getting a smirk and nod as he tied his bandanna to his head. "Naturally." Izuku confirmed getting a chuckle from the radio demon before he turned to Striker. "And what about you my not so little imp?" Striker snorted at disgust but brought out his guns. "Like I'm going to let these varmints run unchecked in home." He pledged with Alastor giving the imp a smirk and nod.

"Well than my fine ladies and dear gentlemen." The serial killer spoke walking to the front, his horns growing as the shadows at his feet begin to wiggle and writhe.

"Let's commence with the slaughter shall we?" Alastor cackled as he shot forward dodging around the swing of a marauder's axe and sent tentacles hurtling towards them. The tentacles were blocked by their shields and instantly three dogs made of energy came howling Into existence only to be instantly impaled on the tentacles.

A few Cacodemon came flying towards the radio demon their mouths open and ready to devour the deer demon. Before they could get close however Lurker's fire bombs sailed straight into their mouths and down what amounted to their gullets. There was a few seconds were the meatballs eyes went wide in fear before in tandem exploded in clouds of gore.

"Mighty kind of you old friend!" Alastor thanked Lurker who was to excited to even process what his former tormentor said and instead conjured Fear Bombs. "And now let's see what happens when you're to paralyzed to move." Lurker laughed throwing them into a group of imps. Lurker watched with glee as the Fear Bombs went off and the imps froze for a second.

All of Lurker's excitement turned to fear when instead of feeling the empowering fear from the imps they instead started to snarl and rush to towards him. Panicking he threw more firebombs towards the approaching imps managing to kill a few of them but most managed to trample over the unlucky ones and avoid the blast.

However the imps were so distracted by the fire bombs they didn't notice the massive, monstrous snake heads roaring towards them until they were already being torn apart in their monstrous jaws. "Perhaps it would be best to stick with your fire bombs for now." Countess recommended her arms having morphed into the necks of the snakes.

"At least until King Lucifer can give us more information." Countless finished while using five of the heads to grab a  Barron of Hell before tearing off it's limbs while the 5th devoured it's head. The other Barrons didn't take this well and rushed towards the countless only for Don in his Screaming Death form to emerge from the ground before gripping two in his mouth and stabbing one through it's chest with his tail before tunneling back down the tunnel he created.

There was a sickening crunch followed by  a squash. Imps and Barrons growled and jumped down the hole only for them to be incinerated by a large mortar like fire ball blasted from the depths and flew high into the sky.

Dolly had her mechanical arms out in their hammer and buzzsaw forms  as well and was busy trying to crack through the shell of a Pinky  why using her hair to keep other demons as bay. "Allow me my dear." Surgeon volunteered as orbs of dozens of needles made of blood floated around him. "That would be wonderful dear." Dolly said as her head started spinning around before she  gave the doctor a superstar smile. Surgeon gave a nod as the needles hurled through the air and into the necks of confined demons, even managing to find a chink in the armor of the pinky.

At first it appeared nothing had happened and the demons continued to snuggle and roar at the pair. That was until one of the Cacodemon's started spewing up blood jetting out of its mouth like a fountain until it shriveled up like a deflated ballon. The other demons meet with similar state with the pinky arguably suffering the worst of it being crushed under the weight of its own armor.

Dolly's face whirled again this time with a slightly nervous and terrified look on her face. "Might have gone a little overboard don't you think?" She questioned with the doctor pulling out a notebook and writing his observations down. "It's the most effective method giving the situation." He said simply before pausing in his writings and glanced towards a pile of dead demons each with clear signs of bludgeoning and cutting.

"Speaking of going overboard." He begin and Dolly's face once again whirled around ending up with a sheepish grin before giving a nervous laugh as she twirled a strand of her hair. "Eh he he he... It was the most effective method?" She questioned more than stated with Surgeon humming before going back to his book.

"Indeed."

Chief meanwhile was working with Striker and Creeper. The warthog already had his horns extended while keeping multiple Cacodemons at bay while his main body already covered in the Iron Defense was wrestling with a Pinky. "A little help here would be nice." He called out. He got the expected gibberish from Creeper while Striker grunted as he ducked another fire ball and fired a round into the head of an imp.

"Gonna need a moment here." He grunted leaping away from a swiping Imp before throwing a knife. The imp dodged and the knife flew through the air until it impacted an imp that had its back turned and buried itself slightly into its head. Whirling around the imp thrashed wildly as it looked for whoever assaulted it. Striker and the imp made eye contact and after a moment Striker pointed towards the imp he was facing.

The feral imp didn't waste a single second and immediately lunged towards its brethren, getting tangled up in a web of claws, teeth and screeches. It didn't end there either as the two imps soon crashed into other imps causing their attention and rage to turn to the two fighting imps and soon an entirely new fight had broken out. Striker watched the brawl torn between smugness at having caused it and annoyance that such a simple trick fooled what could be the progenitor of the imp race.

'One thing at a time Striker one thing at a time.' He thought to himself before heading over to Chief. The warthog was losing ground but Striker was quick to change that leaping over the two Striker was able to get quite shots directly onto the pinky's weak spot causing several fragments of the monster to be blown off killing it and allowing Chief and throw the corpse through the air and slam into another pinky.

Chief capitalized on this and rushed towards the pinky as he morphed his arm into a serrated blade and before dodging the pinky's lunge allowing Chief to get behind the demon and slice it straight down the middle. Chief clicked his tongue as he turned his arm back to normal.

"Thought this was supposed to be a vacation." The sinner muttered with Striker humphing. "Even vacations have their rough spots." He spoke with a roll of his eyes. "Now come on mumbles over there might still need our-." Striker started to say as he turned to see Creeper sitting on top of a mountain of bodies munching on a bone similar to that of a dog.

"Help." Striker finished with a face palm with Chief grunting. "Can't say I'm surprised. Lunatics always seem to survive after all." He muttered with Striker letting out his own reluctant grunt of agreement.

Lute was scowling as she let another axe pass through her body before creating a spear of light and after seeing the flash of green ran it straight through its head. Even when it was clearly dying  the marauder raised its gun to try and blast Lute's head off only for dozens of cards to pass through it and reducing the demon to ribbons.

Lute grunted. "Thanks." She called out in reluctant agreement. "No problem but do you think you could return the favor?" Husk questioned and when Lute turned she saw 4 marauders all firing energy beams or shooting their guns at Husk who was flying through the air while trying to slice them apart with his cards but couldn't get a decent hit in.

Lute gave it a moment's thought before  placing her hands together in a circle before a circle of light appeared in it. Slowing pulling her hands back the circle got larger and larger until it was the size of a hula-hoop before moving her the index and middle fingers on both hands apart causing the ring to split into 4.

This was Lute's Binding Halo and she was watching the marauders carefully, waiting for the right moment. 'Come on, come on.' She thought watching the demons' eyes carefully waiting for the exact moment to send the halos. And then finally it happened, the flash of green flashed through all their eyes letting Lute know this was the moment to strike.

Without a moment's hesitation Lute sent the halos towards the demons who didn't even notice the them coming until there was one around each marauder. The former royal guard glanced at the rings in confusion not seeing Lute raise her hand. "Now Bind!" The angel declared  as clutched her fist cauisng the rings shrank and around the demons until they couldn't even move their arms no matter how much they struggled. Husk saw this and immediately rained down cards that sliced off armor and limbs thought one managed to stay alive despite their arms being cut off.

"Persistent bastard." Husk muttered already readying more cards only to stop when there was a flash of light with the demon's head flying off its body a moment later. The body collapsed revealing Lute. The angel glanced at the cat with a raised eyebrow. "Even?" She questioned getting a nod from Husk. "Even." He agreed.

While all of this was going Velvet was watching entranced. "Fuck. These guys are good." She muttered under her breath before flinching as an explosion erupted right in front of her as another Barron of Hell dropped to the ground dead in front of Izuku adding to growing pile of bodies. Velvet turned her attention back to the fight and felt a very rare cord of fear run through her. "Fuck, I need to get one of those powers ASABP!' She thought looking towards Izuku.

Charlie meanwhile was still looking over her father. "Any changes dad?" She asked getting a shake of the head from Lucifer. "Afraid not my dear. Not for better or worse." He confirmed with Charlie looking nervously towards Izuku. "Izuku, this needs to end now. I'm worried about my dad." She pleaded getting a nod from Izuku. "Right." He asked as he extended his as a transparent sphere appeared in his hand before it expanded. "Room." He declared allowing the sphere to expand until it covered the entire battle field.

With a snap of his fingers Izuku and the corpses of the demons in front of him swapped places with his allies who all blinked in confusion. "What the fuck?" Don muttered looking around only to see his boss standing where Alastor just stood. "Stand back guys. I'm ending this now." The green haired young man announced as a black and green aura surrounded him with the demons quickly rushing towards them, though a few of them seemed to be heading towards them against their will.

The aura around Izuku was getting darker and darker and once all the demons were close enough Izuku let out a sigh before speaking. "And now Black Coffin." For a single second everything seemed to come to a stand still until finally darkness shot up from the ground and started to link together, the sound of metal clanking together as it did so until at last what appeared to be a giant metal box made of darkness stood where Izuku once did.

https://youtu.be/_DpwmRB4Xy8

The group was completely silent until the top of the coffin slammed into place. Surprisingly enough it was Lute who spoke first and towards Alastor of all demons. "You know it's moments like this that reminds me just how easily we got off when everything is considered." Lute told him with Alastor letting out a chuckle that sounded just as hollow as Alastor first did when admitting defeat. "I can't disagree with you there." He admitted sounding haunted by the memory.

A few seconds later the great metal box started to fade away and when it did Izuku was the only one remaining, all most everything of the demons had been obliterated, not even leaving dust behind. The only things that did survive were these strange glowing crystals that Izuku picked up.

"It's finally over." Lurker sighed in relief while creeper whined at his play time being over. "Well dad how do you feel?" Charlie asked hopefully only for her eyes to widen in concern as both Lucifer and Lute hunched over groaning feeling like they were about vomit up every last organ in their bodies.. "Damn it, feels like the time I tired that cocktail Bee and Ozzie wiped up." Lucifer muttered looking up. "But what the blazes could-?"

It was then Lucifer spotting Izuku or more importantly the crystals in his hand. "Stop where you are Izuku!" The king of Hell ordered confusing all those involved as Izuku blinked as he did what was asked. Seeing the boy comply Lucifer continued his questioning. "Where did you get that crystal?" He questioned as Izuku pointed behind him. "They were being carried by the enemy. Not sure how they survived the Black Coffin."

"Thought so. Kindly put them away will you? They're the source of my and Lute's discomfort." Lucifer instructed with Izuku doing that by storing them in his castle. Both Lute and Lucifer let out a massive sigh of relief when they felt any unpleasantness pass. "Thank goodness that's over." The king muttered in relief before addressing everyone each one with a look of impatience on their face as they awaited an explanation.

"Now I know you're all waiting for an explanation as to the unpleasantness that just happened, and believe me I'm more than happy to give it to you." Lucifer told them before pointing it over. "But can it at least wait until we are back on the train and we're on our way to our destination here in Wrath?" Lucifer proposed and not seeing anything wrong agreed.

"And what about you Striker? You'll be joining us too correct?" Lucifer questioned with the imp grunting. "Sorry your majesty but I can't leave High Noon Studios defenseless. It's a miracle that it wasn't damaged during the attack." He said looking over the complex to make sure everything looked alright.

"I understand but I believe I have a solution." With a slam of his cane on the ground Lucifer enacted a barrier around the complex. "Back in my heyday not even a seraphim could get through that barrier. I doubt the same could be said today but I know for a fact that it can keep out the demons we just fought." Lucifer promised before placing his hand on the man's shoulder.

"Belive me Striker. You're not the only one who wants to see this place return to greatness, nor are you the only one who's willing to defend it." Lucifer informed the imp who glanced at Lucifer and then the barrier before going back and forth a few times before relenting with a grin.

"Well then, guess we got a train to catch don't we?"

Line break.

They made it back to the train rather quickly all things considered and once they woke up the conductor who against all logic managed to sleep through the fighting they train was well on it's way to the second stop.

Once they were all seated Lucifer cleared his throat. "Now than I believe you want to know exactly what those creatures exactly those creatures were?" He questioned getting nods from those gathered around. "That would be a good place to start dad." Charlie told him causing Lucifer to nod.

"Well it's actually pretty simple actually but it does require us to take a look into the past. Now than just to make sure everyone here is on the same page. You're all aware that while I am the king of Hell I wasn't the creator of Hell correct?" Lucifer questioned and while a few nodded such as Alastor Countess, Don, Charlie and Lute most tilted their heads in confusion.

"Wait what do you mean you're not the creator of Hell?!" Velvet questioned with confusion clear in her voice. "I'm not the best when it comes to stories involving the subject but I at least know that God cast you out and banished here." The fashionete questioned and Lucifer grinned. "Ah yes that is true I was cast down." Lucifer said before his grin widened as he went in for the kill. "But answer me this if you will? How can I create something after I was banished there?" He questioned with Velvet having no way to answer him.

But Charlie did. "But did you did create Hell." The princess insisted. "It was formed when you gave Eve the apple allowing evil to finally get to earth." Charlie reminded her father having memorized the story by heart. Lucifer nodded with a guilty look in his eyes. "Yes well that's what both me and Lilith believed at first." He admitted before looking at his daughter.

"Make no mistake Charlie everything else in that story was completely true. It took a couple of centuries for Lilith and I to even confirm this discovery and by then the story had spread all over the heavens." Lucifer explained before shrugging. "And considering how insignificant it was we didn't see any reason to reveal the truth when everything else was right." Lucifer told his daughter who nodded in understanding though she did still seem reluctant to accept this new truth.

Seeing this done Lucifer got back on track. "In any case things were much different when we first arrived. Most prominently that Hell was composed of only a single immensely sized ring instead of seven separate ones." Lucifer continued his tale not bothering to hide his amused smirk at the gasp and looks of disbelief he got from those listening. Even Alastor seemed to freeze up allowing Lucifer to continue his story.

"The landscape was truly horrendous. Deserts where if you take a single breath every drop of moisture will leave your body. Mountain ranges that could lose their gravity in a moment, raise 100 meters in the air and drop down to the ground in a moment's notice. Fire that could hypnotize someone and have them walk straight into them as they burned alive. "And then there's the blood swamps." Lucifer actually shuddered here. "The less said about them the better." He quickly told them.

"The worst threat however were the natives Lilith and I kept running into." Lucifer spoke, his eyes sweeping the train car. "You all caught a glimpse of that today from that small squad you all faced today." Lucifer explained and Husk snorted. "You called that a small squad? What do you call a large one?" Husk muttered sarcastically raising a beer bottle to his lips while Lucifer looking him dead in the eyes,

"One that takes no less 3 days to annihilate." He spoke with a tone that gave no indications he was just joking. Husk had frozen completely, his eyes locked on Lucifer as the alcohol spilled onto the seat. "And when I say 3 days I do mean seeing the sun rise and fall 3 times while we were fighting." Lucifer made sure to clarify before releasing a sigh.

"Granted it was just Lilith and I fighting against the hordes so it wasn't exactly the same as what you just experienced, but believe me they were just as vicious if not more so then the ones back there." Lucifer continued one before his scowling. "And believe me there are things fare worse than the lot you just fought.

"Years passed until finally we couldn't take it anymore." Lucifer continued his tale. "With careful preparations Lilith and I conducted a ritual to separate a small section of Hell that we deemed safe from the native demons." Lucifer explained before letting out a chuckle. "We thought we were only cutting ourselves away but either the ritual was far more powerful than I anticipated or we added more magic than was needed but the results were unexpected to say the least."

By now everyone knew where Lucifer was taking this but it was Alastor who vulcanized it. "The rings." He said getting a nod from the king. "Indeed an unexpected but not unwelcome surprise. Not only did it separate us from the native demons but it also cut off their numbers from each other." Lucifer recalled. "Alright but how come we never heard of these guys until now?" Chief questioned. Despite not being allowed on the lower floors before now they should have heard of them before.

"Oh that's easy, we chased them underground!" Lucifer laughed getting raised eyebrows and looks of disbelief from the others. "I'm sorry didn't you say that these guys forced you to run? How the hell did  the two of you cause them to flee underground?" Don questioned with Lucifer humming. "Well like I said before when the rings were created, their numbers were cut down significantly so that helped." Lucifer reminded them before smirking. "It also helped we weren't the only ones fighting them at this point."

If the listeners were confused before they were completely lost now. "But Dad didn't you say-?" "Say what Charlie? That everyone was against us? Oh no I just said that the natives we ran into kept giving us trouble. That didn't mean they were all hostile." Lucifer corrected his daughter. "No we did on occasion meet with locals that were pleasant enough and once the rings were created we got them all moved to what is now known as Pride."

"One group in particular was made of hundreds of thousands of demons making up a army of raiders that was almost as much trouble as the other demons, though a lot of that comes from who their leader was." Lucifer explained though his tone gained an annoyed edge when he finished his explanation. "Truly? And just who is this demon that could cause such trouble?" Countess asked with Lucifer drumming his fingers in annoyance.

"Satan."

As if there wasn't enough secrets being thrown out Lucifer just causally stated he fought this monstrous demon along with the lord of rage.  "Uncle Satan?! How come I've never heard about this?!" Charlie demanded looking close to snapping and Lucifer directed his annoyance towards his daughter. "Charlotte you're aware of my relationship with Satan are you not?" He asked with the princess looking at him in confusion.

"Yeah?" She asked more than stated. "Than I''m sure you can image why I'm not exactly keen on speaking of him." Lucifer dismissed and for a moment Charlie looked like she wanted to argue but eventually she sighed and motioned for him to continue.

"With our powers combined we forced the demons underground. Though there were some complications when Satan took interest in some particular imps." Lucifer said and Striker stood up straighter and was being much more attention now. "Now I'll give Satan this, when he gets going he can install fear in the hearts into almost anything and for the most part these demons were no exception. That is except for the imps." Lucifer said looking Striker straight in the eyes.

"For better or worse the imps never backed down even when they watched countless of their numbers being but through what could be called a walking meat grinder. This caught the old horn head's attention and finding the ones that  he could well the best I could describe it as beat some sense into he had a pack of imps following him. Their numbers as well as ours grew as we traveled through the different rings discovering new types of demons that had been hiding previously.

Ever since then sights of those monsters had grown rarer and rarer as Hell grew and grew, in fact I don't think any of the other sins have even seen more than once or twice, Bee might not even seen them at all." Lucifer finished his story letting everything he just said properly set in. "Dad that's.... that's incredible." Charlie marveled. "How come you didn't tell anyone about this?" She wondered with the king of Hell shrugging.

"I didn't see the need for it. They can't get into Pride so there's no point in telling the sinners and the Sins are powerful enough to take almost all of them down with no problem. Add that there havent been any sightseeing in a few centuries and I kinda thought they had just died out." Lucifer explained to his daughter right as Alastor hummed with a titled head.

"Excuse me your majesty but you said the sins could handle almost all of them. Is that to imply there are demons that they couldn't defeat?" The radio demon questioned before actually blinking when Lucifer went rigid. "Yes. There were but they were the one type of those demons that we made just were wiped out permanently." Lucifer declared with such certainty and fatality that even Alastor dared not press the issue.

After a few awkward seconds Lute cleared her throat. "Yeah well moving on I was hoping you could explain those crystals and why their effects on us." The angel requested and like a flash Lucifer went from static and rigid to embarrassed and giggling. "Well that was my fault actually. Like I said earlier when I created the rings of Hell I flooded the ritual with heavenly magic, so much so that it seeped into the ground, mixed with the hellish energy seeping through it and crystalized.

"Now it affects angels depending on how much of it there is and how close it is in proximity to that angel." Lucifer explained with Lute grimacing. "And just how much is there of these crystals?" She asked with Lucifer matching her. "Too much." He answered sounding just as uncomfortable as he looked as Striker cleared his throat.

"Hate to interrupt but I've got a few questions about those imps that Satan took in." He started to question only for Lucifer to raise a hand to silence him as he answered. "I'm afraid that while I can confirm that he evolved the imps into what your species is now I don't know the exact process he used to accomplish such a task. You'll have to question him about it." Lucifer told the modern imp before looking out the window and rolling his eyes.

"Speaking of which."

Looking out the window it was clear what Lucifer was talking about. Though it was well into the distance even the most short sighted person could see the hulking monstrosity that was busy being constructed in the distance. "Every year he builds a new one of those eye sores, uses if for a single week, tears it to the ground and builds another somewhere else." Lucifer clicked his tongue. "What a waste of time, resources and man power."

Striker gave a nod of agreement while Charles glanced around nervously. "Come on dad. Uncle Satan's coliseums help advance Hell's architecture as well as help give imps and other hellborne construction and other skills." Charlie tried to sooth her father who only hummed in doubt.

"And just what exactly is that dome supposed to be anyway?" Izuku questioned with Lucifer rolling his eyes. "Every year Satan holds a tournament that is meant to determine who the greatest fighter from the seven rings is. From imp to sin anyone can enter. Only sinner and Overlords were barred and really that's only because I'm forbidden him from building those monsteories on the pride ring." Lucifer explained before glancing around the train car.

"Though given this new situation I doubt that rule will lsat anymore." Lucifer added on seeing Creeper muttering under his breath at ah even quicker pace then he normally does and Alastor learned forward excitedly. "And just where does one sign up for such an event?" He questioned with Lucifer not hiding his snort.

"You can do it when we reach our next destination." Lucifer informed. "But I should warn you that magic isn't looking favorably here in Wrath so you might want to wait until next year when it's stated to be held on another ring." Lucifer advised though it was clear Alastor wasn't really listening.

"Why is magic hated so much here? You'd think anyone would be thrilled to have it." Velvet questioned swirling what little magic she could at the moment around her hand to which Lucifer shrugged. "The people of Wrath are big on doing things by hand, even using fire arms will get a raised eyebrow down here." Lucifer explained before turning to Izuku. "That includes those devil fruit powers of yours. Things like Limitless: Infinite and Black Coffin might get you heckled here." He cautioned with Izuku shrugging. He honestly hadn't even thought of competing.

"While were on the subject what exactly were those moves? Even from with all the bullshit I've seen you do so far those topped the list." Husk questioned while downing another bottle of beer. "Eh both are pretty simple. Limitless: Infinite is a technique of the Space-Space Fruit that is the base state of the Limitless and is essentially the power to stop. The Limitless technique operates the same way convergent and divergent sequences do in mathematics. The Infinity is the convergence of an immeasurable series, anything that approaches the infinity slows down and never reaches the user. This is because the technique takes the finite amount of space between the two subjects and divides it an infinite amount of times.

In mathematics, no matter how many times someone divides a number it will never be reduced to zero. Instead, they will be left with fractional units so infinitesimal it would become immeasurable to their eye. The Limitless brings this concept into reality, so anything that attempts to penetrate this infinitely divided space will slow down to the point of appearing to stop completely.

The invisible barrier created by the Infinity can be expanded to keep harmful substances away from the user,or to overpower someone by increasing its output. The Infinity can only be deactivated by the user." Izuku finished his explanation to a bewildered looking group.

"Okay follow up question." Husk requested before throwing his bottle out of the window. "How the fuck is any of that simple?!" He questioned what everyone was thinking, even Surgeon looked completely lost. "Anyway." Izuku chuckled sheepishly. "The Black Coffin is an ability that mixes the unrelenting crushing gradational force of the Stamp-Stamp Fruit and the all consuming depths of the Dark-Dark Fruit entombing them and reducing them to nothing." Izuku finished his explanation with Velvet letting out a sigh.

"Izuku Luv, You need to work on your explanations." The rag doll told him getting a nod as he sheepishly scratched his cheek. 'Not the first time I've heard that before.' Izuku thought to himself embarrassed before shaking his head to clear his thoughts.

"Speaking of Devil Fruits." Izuku said chancing the subject as he looked towards Velvet and Charlie. "I think it's time you two got your own powers."

"What?!"

"Fuck yeah!"

These responses came from Charlie and Velvet respectfully as Izuku turned to Lucifer. "Would you like one as well?" He questioned with the king giving a grateful smile but and his head. "Appreciated but I'm going to decline. No particular reason I simply don't see the need for one. Even with those crystals floating around." Lucifer told the teen who nodded before turning back to the girls.

"Well who's first?"

Charlie looked unsure of what she should do but Velvet wasn't and the words had barely finished leaving Izuku's mouth when she had grabbed Izuku's hand. "Ready when you are Izu!" She declared her tone dripping with excitement but with a hint of impatience. Lucky for her Izuku found it more amusing then anything and channeled the power through his hand into the rag doll sinner.

Velvet didn't know what to except at first but then she started to see visions. A geisha called Daki from some country called Wano who along with her brother committed in kidnapping and eating their victims. It then switched to the owner of a fashion line named Ragnyo Kiryuin who hid the fact she was both a serial killer and loved torturing her victims.

And the less said about what she did to her daughters the better.

Finally she saw a woman by the name of Senjumaru Shutara who was a member of an organization called the God's Knights who protected the fat pigs who thought themselves the rulers of the world. Three separate women who loved completely different lives and had no connection to each other.

Except for one.

The visions ended with Izuku letting go of Velvet's hand who looked at her hand. She didn't feel different but she could tell something had changed. "Well my dear, what sort of ability have you been blessed with?" Alastor questioned as the others looked on with various states of curiosity.

Velvet in response waved her hand and suddenly everyone's clothing began to move on their own such as Countess's dress starting to sway on it's own or Alastor's jacket and bow tie readjusting themselves.

"The Cloth-Cloth Fruit, lets me maniple all manner of cloth from the smallest thread to ones on your back." Velvet explained with a megawatt smile before leaping onto Izuku and hugging him tightly. "Best gift ever Izu!" She told the young man who pattered her on the back. "Not a problem Velvet. he told her before looking towards Charlie and extended his hand. "Your turn." He told the princess who fidgeted with her fingers and looked away.

"I-I w-well I'm not sure if I-." She stammered before taking a deep breath "It's not that I don't appreciate the offer." Charlie was quick to clarify. "I just don't think - well that I've." Here Charlie looked away unsure. "Earned it." She finished lamely while tapping her fingers together.

Ever since she could remember Charlie had always believed in earning what you're given. She was the princess of Hell and had almost unlimited power over the inferno, second on to her father and mother. But she always believed that power came with the responsibly to watching over the citizens. True there were some exceptions like her birthday and a couple other holidays but to be given something this big seemed a little much even for that.

Don't get Charlie wrong though. In any other situation Charlie would be over the moon about being given a gift from her crush.

"And why do you have to earn it?" Izuku questioned as Velvet let him go. "You're my friend Charlie, and that's honestly enough for me." The green haired boy told princess. whose rosy cheeks flushed. "But still I-." She tried to rebuttal only for Velvet to groan as she plopped herself down in the seat next to Charlie.

"Listen to Char-Char, you're over thinking things . Our darling Izuku here to make sure you're as safe as possible and this is his way of doing it. Are you saying that doesn't mean anything to you?" She questioned with Charlie gasping at the mere thought of it. Everyone knew it was a low blow but seemed to do the trick as now Charlie seemed to be stunned.

Seeing this Velvet went in for the kill.

"Besides even if you accept the power doesn't mean you have to use it until you think you're ready." Velvet informed her and Charlie's eyes widened having not thought of that. Off to the side Striker leaned close to Husk. "She is a little too good at that." The imp informed the sinner who snorted into his beer. "You have no idea pal." He mumbled watching the scene disinterested.

Ignoring the conversation next to her Velvet kept going. "So what do you say Charlie you gonna take Izuku up on his offer or you gonna deny it while clinging to your pride?" The rag doll questioned as Charlie looked from her to Izuku who extended his hand with a kind smile on his face.

Slowly but hesitantly Charlie breathed in and breathed out before a shaky smile crossed her face as she slowly raised her hand and gripped Izuku's hand.

Instantly visions filled her vision of people who brought joy, happiness and love to the hearts of countless souls. Memories of smiles, cheers and music at it all. The most prominent being a purple young woman with red and white hair.

"Well Charlie what's the verdict?"Lucifer questioned wanting to see what kind of ability his daughter received. The princess of Hell hesitated for just a moment before she opened her mouth and started to sing.

"~Thought I'm not sure I deserve it~

~I'll face it like a test~

~I've been giving such an amazing gift~

~So I'll be sure to do my best!~"

As Charlie was singing musical notes emerged from around her and floated in the air around her which seemed to soothe those in the cabin. Dolly went as far as to touch one of them and could only describe it as one of the softest things she's ever felt.

Once Charlie finished the notes slowly started to fade as the princess looked close to tears. "The Song-Song Fruit, a fruit meant to bring joy and laughter to the world. I can't think of a a fruit that suits you better." Izuku told the princess who much like Velvet moved to hug Izuku, wrapping her arms and wrapping him up tight. "Thank you. I'll make you proud." She promised a determined look in her eye.

Izuku snorted. "How about you just do your best to master the powers and that'll be enough." He told the princess who nodded seriously before the human turned his attention to Striker. "I could give you one too if you want Striker." Izuku proposed causing the imp to tilt his hat and raise an eyebrow.

"Appreciate it, but the last thing I need is for rumors to start up about an imp with powers far beyond anchoring he should have. That's just asking for trouble, especially with my new business venture at hand." He said looking at the king who the imp the finger guns. "Well offers always on the table If you want it." Izuku promised him with the imp giving him a grateful nod.

The next couple hours were spent with much more relaxing conversations until they finally reached their destination.

Ole' Eruption Vally.

Line break.

Ole' Eruption Vally was a fair little town that was a mix between the towns seen in old westerns and Old America similar to that of Cannibal Town. A row of saloons standing side by side across the street from beauty parlors and clothing stores. Old school buggies driving down the street as cowboys, showgirls and distinguished looking imps walked down the street side by side.

What surrounded the town was truly their call to fame. 20 twenty active volcanoes, all constantly erupting with magma flowing down the base. It's here however the miracle occurred. Due to the shaping and positioning of the town the lava follows around the town, acting as sort of a moat to the town from raiders and any wild beast that could threaten it.

"Welcome I say Welcome to Ole' Eruption Vally!" a large and portly imp  in an all white suit said his arms spread wide and gestured to the town. "I'm Wally Wackford the 3rd, Mayor of the fine town and I say, I say it's an honor and a welcome to have you all here! Especially the royal family" Wally exclaimed giving an exaggerated bow to the group.

"Ah Wally a pleasure as always." Lucifer said twirling his cane and looking around the town." Good to see the old girl hasn't changed." Lucifer remarked with Wally laughing. "Not when I'm in charge." He reassured as Alastor hummed and approached.

"I believe a few friends of mine in Cannibal Town could appreciate such a mindset." The radio demon remarked with Wally smirking. "Where do you think that mindset came from?" He questioned with Alastor nodding. "Indeed. Say you wouldn't happened to know a little imp up in pride that also goes by Wally Wackford would you?" He questioned with the mayor groaning.

"That's I say, I say, that's my son, Wally Wackford, the 4th!" Wally told the group. "Raised him myself in this very town, that boy is my pride and joy, but that boy, I say, I say that boy ain't right!" He muttered. "All set to take over and let this old imp retire when one day he and a few old friends of his locked themselves in one of our factories for a few days. Next thing I know the boy is rushing other pride declaring and boldly claiming he's off to make his fortune without even letting me get a word in edgewise."

The others looked at each other awkwardly as Charlie cleared her throat. "I've seen some of his commercials on tv." She told him. "He might be struggling  a bit." She felt the need to tell him while ignoring the amused smirks and snickering from some of the others as Wally groaned again.

"That's I say, I say, that's the problem! It'd be one thing if he actually was successful and managed to make it big! I'd be singing his praises to the depths of hell and to the highest, I say, I say, to the highest peak of Heaven!" Wally moaned. "Hell I'd be more than happy to lend the boy some help if he, I say, I say, if he just asked!" The mayor admitted and looked to be about to go one when an explosion interrupted him.

The residents of pride jumped and Izuku already had his headband in his hand however when Wally signed in annoyance and calmly started to head to the source of explosion and more than a few of them heard him mutter. "Those boys, I say, I say those boys never learn." He spoke to himself as he headed off.

Through curiosity or concern the rest followed behind and after a couple minutes of walking found themselves in front of a large factory with two imps finishing putting out a fire. "Grick. Grack, What have I, I say, I say What have I said about going overboard this week?" He questioned to the imps. Not noticing how Striker seemed to stiffen upon seeing the pair.

"Sorry Mr.Wackford! We were brainstorming ideas about our little problem and we got a little carried away!" Grick apologized. He had a beige beard, eyebrows and hair which comes out of his cap. He has a long nose and spiked ears. He wears a beige long sleeved shirt under a yellow shirt with red stripes. He has yellow gloves a black belt with brown pockets on it and brown pants. There is a brown bandage on his tail. He speaks with a high-pitched voice.

"Yeah my brother and me thought we had it solved." Grack promised Wally before gesturing to the factory where the remaining embers still glowed. "This had only about a 17% of happening!"  The imp swore up and down.

Grack only has hair above his ears. He has spikes on his cheeks and a flat nose with a plaster on it. He wears a light brown uniform. He has brown belt, sash, and fingerless gloves. There is a gray bolt on his belt..

Wally sighed as he rubbed the side of his head. "Everyone this is, I say, I say this is Grack and Grick. The two imps my son joined up with before he set out to find his fortune. Grack and Grick this is King Lucifer, his daughter Charlie and the rest of our guest." He said introducing everyone.

Upon seeing the royals Grick and Grack bowed low. "Apologies for not bowing earlier your highness. "My eyesight isn't what it used to be. My brother on the other hand is just lazy." Grack apologized with Grick laughing. "Are you kidding me> If anyone's lazy here it's my brother Grick! He was once set on fire in his sleep and slept for another 3 days!" Grick and Grack laughed together. "You would know Grick  you're the one who started the fire in the first place!" Grack reminded him.

"You two haven't changed a bit." Striker mumbled under his breath though froze completely when both of the smaller imps turned their attention to him. Grick and Grack both hummed as they examined him. "Say do we know you from somewhere pal? Grack questioned and Striker immediately shock his head. "Can't say you do." He replied quickly before breathing out a sigh of relief when the pair moved on.

"Anyway sorry for the disturbance once your vacation sirs and madams but coming up trying to create a new energy source is tougher than you might think." Grick told the group. "Creating a new energy source?" Surgeon questioned with interest. "Yup we've beefing having a little energy problem around these parts recently and these boys think they can solve it." Willy told the group.

"Yeah and after that we can work how to work them into weapons to making stronger, faster more durable. How that'll work we're not exactly sure on yet but we're sure it'll happen." Grack cackled as Grick brought out what appeared to be a metal ball. "Once we find energy that can power this while also be cable of recharging we'll be good to go." The imp guaranteed as he passed the ball around.

Most just kept it going with little intent though some like Alastor looked at the imps with amusement and Charlie appeared starstruck at the two for their dreams and marveled at the little sphere when it reached her hands.

Izuku however was looking at the sphere curiosity. 'A renewable energy that can act as a power source huh?' Izuku questioned himself as an idea entered his head. 'It would never work.' He thought to himself as he covered the hand holding the sphere in Haki.

Immediately a low buzzing was coming from the sphere as it slowly started to open until small doll like versions of Grick and Grack holding a sign that read 'Congratulations you actually did it!' written on it.

The two imps completely ignored the sign however and were staring transfixed on the glowing and spinning sphere as they slowly approached as Izuku lowered his hand and gave the sphere to the imps. The rest of the crew watched in fascination as the two imps pulled out a couple of devices and held them close to the sphere.

After a few seconds of them reading off their finds they turned back to Izuku. "What did you just do?" Grick questioned almost emotionlessly along with his bother. "I just sent some Haki into it." Izuku explained with the imps tilting their heads. "And what is Haki?" Grack questioned with Izuku sighing.

"Without going to into it it's a power that  allows individuals to harness their own spiritual energy for various superhuman feats, figured it wouldn't hurt to try it out." Izuku finished with a shrug and the imps looked at the reading as well. "And this energy replenishes itself over time?" Grick questioned getting a nod from Izuku.

The two had no further questions and after sharing a look raced into the factory before shutting the door, briefly opening again just long enough to put a sign on the door that read Closed.

The group tried to process what they just witnessed as Wally cleared his throat nervously. "Well that's, I say, I say, that's probably nothing to worry about." Wally told his guest even though it sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than anything. There was a loud boom coming from the depths of the factory as Wally pulled on his collar nervously. "Nothing to worry about."

He repeated before he turned back to the pride natives. "Well let's get a move on, plenty to see." Wally was quick to move his quest along as more and more noises started coming from the factory. As they were walking away Don leaned in close to Striker. "So what's the story between you and them?" He questioned as Striker sighed and figured the truth would be better. "Did some business with them a few years ago. I was to test out one of their guns and in exchange I wouldn't have to worry about weapons or ammunition ever again." Striker told the story before he snorted.

"I pulled the trigger once and the next thing I knew I was waking up in the hospital covered in burns with both my hands and arms broken." Striker while massaging his head getting laughs from the others. "I don't know Striker I think they might be one to something. I know someone just like them and she was doing great things last I saw her." Izuku told the imp who snorted.

"I'll take your word for it."

Stirker dismissed as they continued on their way to town. Durning this Izuku leaned in towards Lucifer. "So maybe we should tell Wally about the demons attack." He whispered to the king who nodded. "I'll be informing Satan later since this happened on his ring and he'll inform all the mayors and law enforcement on Wrath, but there's no need to wait. I'll inform Wally when we get a moment." He promised as they entered the town properly.

"Now then with that little detour out of the way, I say, I say that we start by-." Wally was cut off by a crash and three large imps being thrown out of a bar and into the lot on the other side of the street. "Oh what do we have here?" Alastor questioned immediately heading towards the bar followed by Lucifer, Wally Izuku and creeper who was already giggling.

Husk snorted seeing this. "Ah what the hell I could use a drink." He muttered heading into the bar after them.  "Same." Both Chief and Don agreed walking in next. Dolly, Lurker, Striker Surgeon and Countess not having anything else to do followed closely behind leaving Lute, Velvet and Charlie standing outside.

"So eh should we head inside or just wait right here?" Charlie asked unsure with Velvet snorting. "Please the safest place in hell is wherever those guys are." The rag doll told the princess as she headed toward the pub. "Besides the sooner we get this over with the sooner we can get this vacation actually started." Velvet said getting tried of her vacation getting interrupted.

That left Lute and Charlie alone with Lute only being able to offer a shrug. "I mean she's not wrong." The one winged angel had to agree before walking off after the rest of the group with Charlie just a few steps behind.

By this point Izuku, Alastor, Lucifer and Creeper had made it to the doors just as another hellebore sailed through. "Now let's see the cause of this little ruckus." Alastor  grinned as they entered the door.

"What? You Varmints actually want some more?" A woman asked letting the first group enter allowing them to see her properly.

"My aren't you a small one?" Alastor remarked getting an unimpressed look from the imp. "look I don't know who you are but unless you want to be wearing those horns somewhere the sun don't-." The imp didn't finish as she saw Lucifer and immediately went star struck. "YOUR MAJESTY!" She squealed rushing up before bowing low.

"I didn't see you there! Sorry about not greeting you sooner!" She apologized with Lucifer easily waving it off. "Oh don't worry about it my dear, I'm aware how distracting my colleague can be." Lucifer told the imp before glancing towards Alastor who only grinned towards the shorter man. "Still it was rude of me, especially to the demon who slaughtered angels for years all for his wife's dream! My gran watched you work for centuries and made sure to tell me and my siblings all about it." She told the king before her eyes widened.

"Oh where's my head at?! My name's Millie!" She introduced herself with Lucifer nodding. "A pleasure to meet you Millie." Lucifer informed before he gestured to Wally. "I'm sure you already know the esteemed mayor of this town but along with him is Izuku Midoriya, the human who not only ended the extermination this year but also is now running the Asylum." Lucifer introduced the pair as the green haired teen stepped up to shake Millie's hand. "Nice to meet you Millie." He told the imp who gave a grin.

"Can say the same thing hun. Gotta be packing some serious skills if you can pull all that off." The imp praised Izuku smirking. "Thanks, though from what I can tell you're pretty tough too if the guys groaning outside and in here is any indication." He praised back with Millie looking away with a smile. "Ah shucks that's kind of you to say." She told the boy who shock his head.

"I'm serious, I've spent years fighting and gauging people's combat prowess and you're definitely up there." He told the imp before a thoughtful look came to him. "Actually we could use someone with your skills in the Asylum." He told her before tilting his head. "That's if you're looking for a job at the moment." He told the girl/

Millie for her part seemed taken back by the offer. "R-really you'd want a simple, little country girl like me?" She asked a little in disbelief with Izuku snorting. "Please let's cut the shit. You're about as far from simple, little country girl. as one can get." The green haired boy shot back with Mille giving one back as she placed her hand on her hip.

Alastor choose this moment to clear his throat. "As fun as watching this little job interview is I believe we have a few more introductions to get through." He remained the pair as more and more of their group entered the pair which Lucifer had already fixed with his magic.

Sheepishly Izuku took the radio demon's suggestion and quickly introduced the rest of the group and within minutes the bar crowded with Lucifer's group as various conversations were going on. From Velvet discussing the different fashions and cultures in Wrath to Lute and Wally discussing the differences in how rules and regulations were run between Heaven and Hell.

The rest were simply taking a breather while enjoying their food and drink before Charlie stood up with an old school camera in her hands. "Well everyone it took a little bit to get going but our trips finally gotten started. She said before she raised her camera "Everyone say vacation!"

"Vacation!" Came a chorus from everyone else even though a few such as Chief, Don and Husk muttered it in the dullest monotone they could.

FLASH

A photo was laid down showing the group cheering with their drinks and fist in the air. Velvet hugging Izuku as Mille laughed at Alastor who had pulled an annoyed Husk close.

FLASH

The group was looking around wrath with wonder. Charlie was pointing toward something excitedly with Izuku looking interested in whatever they were looking at. In the back ground Surgeon and Lurker were looking inside a store window while Dolly could be seen entering a shop on the other side of the street.

FLASH

The girls were heading into a boutique with Millie dragging a struggling Lute into the store with a giggling Millie's help.

FLASH

Mille, Lucifer and Striker were riding bucking Hellsteeds and bulls during a rodeo with a cheering crowd watching from the stands. Some of the attendees were distracted however by Creeper who was chasing after rodeo clowns that were desperately trying to run away from the psycho. Alastor could also be seen in the commentator booth with a knocked out imp against the wall. Joining him where Husk who was chained to his chair and looked to be close to biting off his own tongue just to get away and Charlie who had an a nervous smile as she sat between them.

FLASH.

Alastor stood on a podium above two other imps who looked on angry at the radio demon as he held up a golden trophy while wearing a smug smirk on his face. Above him was a sign that read Jambalaya Cook Off.

FLASH

Izuku was with Charlie and Velvet helping them master their devil fruit powers. Charlie was riding one of her song notes as she sang while trying to get the other musical notes to do other task such as bringing and taking stuff from here. Velvet on the other hand was working on shaping the different amounts of cloth at once with various rainbows and multiple colored shaped and pictures surrounding her.

Flash

Countess and Dolly were having tea with some of the more upper crust imps while in the background Millie could be seen strangling another imp who had a dropped knife next to him.

Flash

Don, Chief, Surgeon and Lurker looked utterly lost as they stood in a bank surrounded by grateful employees as the remains of masked thieves were being pushed out of frame by a janitor.

Flash

Lucifer dressed as a grand marshal was gleefully leading a parade through the streets of the town, Charlie next to him happily marching along as Alastor a little further behind merrily led the band.

Flash

Late at night Lucifer and Striker stumbled out of a bar arm in arm. Both clearly drunk with the stupid grins plastered on their faces and beer bottles in their empty hand. Each sporting a black eye.

Flash

The girls each with a copy of Izuku danced in their own way. From square dancing with Millie to a proper waltz with Countess and Dolly each looked happy at what was going on, even Lute who was giving a dance one would usually expect seeing at a high school looked relaxed as she danced with her copy of the green haired teen while Velvet with strutting as she and her clone dominated the dance floor.

Dead center was Charlie and Izuku dancing as if it were their wedding night. Charlie looked like all her dreams were coming true as she put her head on Izuku's chest who while looking amused was more than happy to full the princess's request.

Line break

It was the final night of their stay in Wrath and celebrations were in full swing as Wally took the stage. "Welcome, I say, I say welcome to the final night of our little festival." Wally welcomed getting cheers from the town's people. "Hey did we ever grab the name of what this celebration is?" Husk asked with Lucifer shaking his head.

"It doesn't have one." Lucifer revealed getting a blink from the cat sinner. The king grinned and gave a shrug. "The inhabitants of each ring tired to come up with one but ultimately decided they'd rather spent the time partying then actually naming the celebrations." Lucifer chortled as Husk rolled his eyes before covering them as lights covered the group.

"And let us use this as send off to King Lucifer, his lovely daughter and their friends who I say. I say who made this festival more memorable than ever and who we hope to see again next year!" Wally announced with the residents cheering as well. "Yes, yes it was truly lovely to meet you all and feel free to tune in to my radio show!' Alastor advertised his show.

"Well I'll hand it to him, Alastor sure knows how to network." Millie chuckled as she watched the man work as she stood next to Izuku as Wally continued his speech. "You can say that again." The green haired boy remarked before glancing down at Millie. "So you excited to get started?" He questioned with Millie nodding. "Fuck yeah I am! No no-good varmint is going to cause shit in the asylum while I'm there!" Millie the new head of law enforcement of the asylum promised causing Izuku to grin,

Millie as it turned out to be just as skilled and dangerous as Izuku first thought and only an absolute lunatic would try and fuck with her. 'In fact the only thing that she's missing is a devil fruit.' Izuku thought to himself before looking towards Millie. 'Speaking of which I really should be fixing that.' Izuku said and was about to speak once again when the ground started to shake.

Those from the Pride ring were worried at first but soon it changed to confusion when the rest of the residents started to cheer wildly. "Hold on to your hat Zuzu, this is going to be good!" Millie squealed and right after she said that the volcano's started to shake violently until finally it happened.

All at once the volcanoes erupted in sync. Except instead of magma and volcanic rock colorful explosions filled the sky. "Son of a bitch." Don muttered as Alastor took a couple of steps forward. "Well I'll be, Naturally made fireworks, I never would have thought it possible." He remarked as they along with the rest of these gathered cheered and marveled at the natural miracle that was occurring before them.

So transfixed were they that no noticed the ground shaking was growing more and more violent and it wasn't until that familiar ping scratched his head placing Izuku completely on guard. It only grew worse as more and more signals were pinging thanks to his Haki.

"Izuku?" Millie questioned noticing his discomfort. "Hun what's going on?" She questioned before noting Izuku taking a deep breath.

"INCOMING!"

The roar came just as the ground surrounding the town gave way as demons emerged once more from below. "These assholes again?!" Don growled already prepping his guns. "Yes and in much higher quality than before." Alastor remarked looking around like it was an all you can buffet. Lucifer however just chuckled. "Oh I wouldn't worry, things are a bit different this time." Lucifer assured them as he pointed right towards Wally.

"Well it appears, I say, I say, it appears we have some unwanted guest. Ones that don't appear to be friendly" Wally observed placing his hands behind his back oddly calm. "In that case it's appears we must ask them to leave." From behind his back he pulled out a customized hunting rifle. "in our own, I say, I say, wrathian way."

Imps from all over the crowd did the same pulling out all manners of weapons from guns to blades with a few even pulling out lassos or were simply cracking their knuckles, and while a few imps were moving to get the children to safety most were already rushing to join the fight.

"Now this!" Alastor grinned as he started to grown in size. "Is how you end a week like this!" He cackled rushing to join the slaughter. Lucifer was right behind expanding his demon features he quickly turned to his daughter. "Go guard the residents dear, Defense is more your style." He told his daughter who nodded before he faced Lute and Velvet.

"Please back up my daughter. I don't want her facing these things alone." He requested getting a nod from the two as the followed after. Once they were gone Lucifer started flying towards the battlefield and with his powers not restricted this time was able to make quick work of the demons. Slaying dozens of them with each stirke and even cutting down the marauders with ease.

He and the imps were quickly joined by Striker Millie and the rest of the sinners who began slaughter their own share of demons, and Izuku his bandana securely on his head, once he was sure Charlie, Lute, Velvet and the rest of those not participating in the battle had gotten away successfully he quickly turned his attention to fight and were about to join them when he heard the sound of shouting quickly coming towards him.

"Hey kid! Wait! We've got something for you!" Grack shouted as he and Grick were racing towards him while holding something wrapped in a cloth until they finally reached him and they dropped what they were holding. "Thanks for waiting kid. I promise this is going to be worth it." Grack promised and Izuku tilted his head. "And just what is it exactly?" He questioned as be the imps smirked and grabbed the tarp. "Behold!" They shouted in unison as they reveled their little surprise.

Izuku blinked and tilted his head. "A chainsaw?" He questioned with the imps nodding. "Pick it up and channel some of that Haki stuff into it." Grick instructed. "Trust us you'll love the results!" Grack added on and Izuku despite his concern picked it up and did as he was asked.

Izuku could tell immediately what was happening as the blade immediately began to whirl to life as an ominous green glow covered it while shooting off black lightning every so often. "Behold the first weapon to run on pure Haki!" Grack cackled madly while his brother pointed towards a group of demons that had broken though and crossed the manga and were rapidly approaching.

With just a moment's consideration Izuku lifted the chainsaw and with a simply application of Shave appeared by the demon on the out most left. It was like a knife going through warm butter as the blades tore through flesh, mucle and bone without an issue. As Izuku made a clenched a straight line down a down pour of blood following him. The chainsaw was already strong enough but with the added use of Haki, its reach extended far beyond what it should have normally been capable of.

The result was the entire advancing force was reduced to nothing and mere seconds. Izuku glanced down at the now still weapon and then back at the imps. "I'll take it." He informed them causing their faces to light up." Happy to hear it boss!" We actually got something else ready if you're interested." Grack told the teen.

"If you can go and grab feel free to, but I've got a fight to win and can't afford to wait around ." Izuku warned before he started to transform in front of the imp's very eyes as the air went dropped by several degrees.

Izuku turned his attention towards the battle and raised a single hoof before disappearing, an arctic blast of wind blowing through the area causing the imps to shiver. "That kids just full of surprises ain't he?" Grick questioned with his bother nodding. "Sure is, now come on we've got to go grab the kid's other gift."

As the two were rushing off Izuku appeared on the battleground, his sudden appearance gave almost both sides pause, the only exceptions being the feral imps on the enemy's side. Izuku spoke no words or explanations mere raised his chainsaw, started it up and disappeared.

What occurred next was held the wrathian imps gasping in utter awe as a tidal wave of blood resulting from hundreds of suddenly dead demons were frozen completely solid in front of them with many more demons falling by the second. In awe at the display and their sprits raising high the imps fought with renewed vigor killed any demons that got past their visitors from pride lead by Izuku reducing a massive army into a frozen nothingness that somehow remained in tact and unthawing even among the manga in just a few minutes.

Izuku was breathing hard as he shifted back to normal blood splattered across his information, his chainsaw sat by his side. The last few minutes felt amazing but the coast was clear, much like normal machinery burned through fuel the more it was used and the chainsaw was quite the hungry little baby, leaving him completely draIned of Haki for a few minutes.

If Izuku was going to use it again, and he was going to use it again. Than he was going to have to use it more sparingly until he could get his Haki stores up even higher than what they already were.

"You really do know how to put on grand shows." Alastor commented walking up to Izuku without a single piece dirt on him. "Thanks." Izuku muttered out before groaning as he stood. "But I think I've got one more trick up my sleeve." Izuku told the demon looking around.

"These demon's aren't going to give up until they achieve victory or die. Might as well take advantage of that." Izuku decided and Alastor raised an eyebrow. "And how do you plan to do that?" He question as Izuku grimaced. "With a single word." Izuku muttered almost sounding disgusted by what he was about to do as he spoke his next word.

"Arise."

For a few seconds nobody could tell what was happening to caught up in the melee to focus on anything else but soon it became apparent there were a lot more fighters on this battleground than there should be.

Both demons and imps looking like they were made of shadows stood over the corpses of the dead, even those in multiple parts now stood tall, each shadow giving off an ominous purple glow added to the darkness.

"What the fuck?" Millie questioned bewildered as she slowly approached a shadow marauder and was close to touching him when the shadow suddenly jumped high in the air before bringing his axe down as he descended before slicing a Barron of Hell clean in two.

Seeing what just happened Millie adopted a face splitting grin. "Fuck yeah!" She cheered before jumping on the back of a shadow pinky and the two began to cleave through the enemy.

Back with Izuku and Alastor they watched as a tide of darkness slowly over took the battlefield. "Shadow Soldiers, the ultimate ability of the awakened Shadow-Shadow Fruit. An army of living shadows, unable to die no matter how many times they're killed and only need a dead body to increase their ranks." Izuku introduced the ability before snorting. "An army worthy of Hell wouldn't you say?" He questioned with Alastor nodded. "No doubt about it." He muttered and for the first time since he meet him, the cannibal sounded unsure. Even more sure when he asked the next question.

"Do you think this ability could work on a sinner?" Never let it be said Alastor beat around the bush when he needed to get serious not even blinking when Lucifer landed next to him. "I would like to know that as well." The king requested. "This could be an another way for sinners to be erased from existence which cause open another can of worms entirely." Lucifer voiced his own concerns.

Fortunately for both Izuku shock his head. "I already tested this back in the asylum. As long as a sinner's soul isn't destroyed then they're technically still alive which means I can't turn them into a shadow soldier." Izuku explained causing both men to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well that's one problem averted." Lucifer saId only for a ear pricing roar to echo all around them as a giant suddenly emerged from lava.

"And that's a new problem making itself known." Izuku muttered with a twitching eyebrow, hating how unprepared he's feeling thanks to his Haki still recharging. "Oh no Izuku that's not a problem, it's a mild inconvenience." Lucifer corrected as he took to the sky. "One I can handle quite easily." He both offered and bragged as he flew up to the giant.

"Greetings friend." Lucifer greeted with the giant sneering. "Who dares approaches Straga?!" The now named Straga demanded while Lucifer. "Straga huh? Well I am Lucifer, the king of Hell and I was hoping you could answer a few questions of mine?" Lucifer asked and Straga narrowed his eyes. "You called your self Lucifer?" The giant questioned with Lucifer nodding.

"I did." He confirmed causing Straga to smirk victoriously but remain silent. This immideltly put Lucifer on guard looking for any signs of attack that the giant might give. It wants until his power faded and nausea hit him that he realized his mistake.

Sqauinsh

Lucifer spat out a glob of blood before looking down and seeing a familiar glowing rock penetrating through his torso. "H-How did-?" He questioned only to hear a ghastly laugh behind him and with the last his strength he turned his head to see exactly what had attacked him.

"A spirt?' Lucifer questioned his vision quickly growing dark and with one final hiss the spirt tore out the crystal and brought it to Straga who gripped it tightly. "VICTORY!"THE POWER TO RULE HELL IS MINE!" The demon cackled in absolute glee as power surged through him before in a violent burst of light the giant and his demons were gone as Lucifer plummeted towards the ground. "THE POWER TO RULE HELL IS MINE!" The demon cackled in absolute glee.

Only to be stopped when Izuku caught him in midair and place him gently down. "So what do we do now?" Alastor questioned oddly quite for once and unfortunately for once Izuku had no idea.

Line break.

Hours later in Wally's office Izuku and the other visitors  sat in silence after Wally had given left to both over see the repairs to the town and to give them some privacy . Charlie was in the corner her eyes red from crying though she was sniffing every few seconds with Millie comforting her the best she could. A few seconds later the  door opened and the town doctor entered.

"Princess Charlotte I have your father's results." He told her causing Charlie took up and rushed over. "Doctor please! Tell me he's going to alright! I mean he's the king of Hell so he's got to be alright, right?!" She kept asking with the imp only sighing. ""Honestly you might want to have him move to Sloth. They could do much better work than we could here." The imp proposed before grunting. "Though he made it perfectly clear that he wasn't to be moved until this was settled." He informed everyone before flipping over a page.

"As for his condition, I've honestly never seen anything like it before. He should be healed by now. And would be if his magic was working properly." The imp told them causing Charlie to panic once more. "What's wrong with his magic?" She demanded parts of her demon form showing in her panic freaking out the doctor.

"It's gone!" The doctor shouted trying to get the words out. "It's like he never had any to begin with like it wad depleted or drained, or , or" "Or stolen." Izuku interrupted him and getting everyone's attention. "We all heard the demon. He declared that he now had the power to rule hell. What else could that mean other than stealing Lucifer's powers." Izuku theorized and no one could really argue against that.

"So how are we getting it back?" Charlie questioned standing up getting surprised looks from everyone. "That demon used a crystal to steal Dad's powers we just need to steal it back to get dad back to normal right? So how are we doing it?" Charlie questioned with Izuku standing up.

"We are not doing anything. I'll lead a team down those tunnels to kill that giant and get your dad's powers back while you stay here and lead a team as well as the Shadow Soldiers here to defend your father until we get back." Izuku told her his plan. Charlie immediately opened her mouth to argue only for Izuku to shut it down immediately.

"No arguing Charlie. You're emotional by default and it's only worse now that you've got a your own stakes in this. The best thing right now is for you to stay here and ensure your father is safe." Charlie bit her lip desperately wanting to argue but she couldn't think of one. She wasn't a fighter and always preferred to play it safe and defensive. Even with her new powers she wouldn't be that much use and her mindset would properly lead her to making stupid mistake after stupid mistake. At least by staying here she could keep an eye on her father and ensure no one could catch him off guard.

With a resigned nod Charlie accepted allowing them to move on. "Arigtht now who's stay here to help guard Lucifer?" Izuku questioned with Velvet and Lute stepping forward first. "I'm still new to fighting Luv. Don't think I'd be much help on an assault team." She explained with Lute nodding. "There's no telling how much of that crystal shit is down there and I'd rather not see how more of it affects me." The angel added on.

"I'll remain here too." Lurker chimed in. "My abilities either don't really affect them or wont do well in an enclosed space like a cave network." Lurker spoke up with Chief, Husk and Surgeon nodding. "The same could be said for our abilities. They're either two widespread or our movement would be to restrictive. Up here we could do our job of guarding the king properly." Surgeon theorized as Izuku nodded slowly.

"Alright so that's 7 staying behind. That mean the rest of you guys are coming with" He questioned getting nods and confirmations from the other sinners. "Millie? Striker?" He asked and Millie nodded instantly.  "Of course I'm joining in! Lucifer's the king of Hell how could I turn my back on him like that?" She questioned before crossing her arms. "More than that he's become my friend over these last few days. Ani't no way I'm turning my back on him like that." She promised and Charlie immediately ran to hug her.

All eyes turned to Striker who after a moment humphed. "Yeah why not. Clown boy isn't as bad as I thought he was." Stirker admitted before smirking as he added. "Besides can't let my new business partner just up and die now can I?" He questioned causing Charlie to burst into tears tears as she hit the breaking point of her emotions but managed to refrain from going to hug Striker.

Still the two imps were on board and Izuku had one thing left to do. "Millie. Striker. Give me your hands for second." Izuku requested getting a blink from Millie and a suspicious look from Striker who opened his mouth but Izuku beat him to it. "No arguing Striker. We need to go into this as prepared as possible. I wish we could get in contact with Satan but he's not answering right Charlie?" Izuku questioned the princess who shook her head. "He could be fighting more of these monsters for all I know." She confirmed.

"See? We need all the fire power we can get. So what's it going to be Striker?" The human questioned  extending his hand and after a few seconds the male imp sighed. "You really do drive a hard bargain, you know that kid?" Striker asked before grabbing Izuku's hand as visions began to fill Striker's head.

A few seconds later and the two separated with Millie looking even more confused. "Hey Striker just what was that all about?" She questioned before dropping her Jaw as she watched the other imp's fingers and tail become guns. "The Shoot-Shoot Fruit, fits me like a glove." Striker admitted while giving a nod of thanks.

"Glad to hear it." Izuku then turned to Millie. "Your turn." He told the female imp. "Aw mighty kind of you Izuku." She told him thankfully taking his hand. Once again a few seconds passed before they released the other. "Well let's see it." Izuku instructed with Millie letting out a frightening grin as her arms and legs suddenly grew blades. "The Dice-Dice Fruit. Oh Izuku I love it!" She squealed happily.

With that done Izuku addressed the rest of the room. "Alright, so the plan is simple. We go in through the hole the giant made, get the crystal that's storing Lucifer's powers and get out. I'm not sure what would happened if it was destroyed so we need to keep in tact until then got it?" He questioned the group that would be going with him getting nods. "Charlie I'll be leaving the shadows here to help you guard your father and we'll make it back as soon as possible." He promised as Charlie nodded before giving. him a hug.

"Please be safe." She begged in a soft voice as Izuku hugged her back. "Of course I will." He promised before gently letting her go and began to head for door.

BANG

Only for them to be kicked open by Grick and Grack. "There you are kid! We've been looking all over for you." Grick told the teen as the imps entered once more holding a package. "We heard what happened to king Lucifer, deepest condolences by the way." Grack told Charlie before turning his attention back to Izuku. "And we figured you're about to do something crazy so we thought we'd bring this here in order to help you out." He continued as the imps removed the sheets and revealing the new weapon.

"A shotgun that turns your Haki into bullets before firing them off at your enemies." Grick explained as Izuku stored the gun away. "Thank's Grick and Grack, I'll but it to good use." He promised causing the two to beam.

With that done Izuku turned to ones that would be following him down tying his bandanna around his head.

"Well people, let's go down there and show them how real demons fight."

To be continued.

Well hear it. The proper chapter 6 and an extra long one for you all to enjoy. I'm sorry it took so long for it to come out and I'm also a little sorry to say this wont be updated again until January. My reason for this is simple. I've heard rumors that 6 of the sins will appear in the next two episodes of Helluva Boss and if that's true I want to wait to see if there's anything I can use.

Don't get it wrong though. This will be the first thing I update in January, I promise you that.

Now getting on to the story. We see the crew begin their vacation in Wrath meet some new friends, reencounter some new enemies, gain some powers and run into a little bit of trouble that could threaten Charlie's entire family.

So just a typical start to any vacation.

As for the Song-Song Fruit, think more of its use in Pirate Warriors 4 than film Red.

Now for Striker. Some people might think he's going way too fast in helping out Lucifer and becoming friends with him. Well that was kind of the point of the mental talk he had with his dad. His two sides debating with each other over what to do and over the course of the week he slowly grew to trust the man slightly.

Basically he's taking a leaping of fate and hoping for the best.

As for Millie. Honestly it wasn't originally planned since I thought she had joined up with Blitz first and Moxie came second. But since it was revealed that she came after Moxie I figured fuck it. And yes she most likely will be in the harem but I want to hear from you guys about what you think.

Who should Millie be with. Moxxie or Izuku?

And I think that's it. Sorry this took so long and ope you enjoyed.

So that's it for now.

Till next time,

Bye.
