Ghost Spawn eyes close his eyes, and saw a vision of a little kid running through the hollow.
Ghost Spawn: Shes right. I did see a kid. Follow me
He jumps higher into the floor as everyone else following. Ghost Spawn was sprinting as everyone else following him.
Billy: Hey!! Don't run! We're here to help you!! Come back!!
As they pursuit of the child led you further into the hollow and into it seem to be abandoned. The whole route was teeming with ethereal all of whom were looking to strike whenever they could get a chance
Ghost Spawn: Watch out!
The kid leaping at an ethereal that was making beeline for her. Ghost Spawn took out his shotgun and shoot the Ethereal 4 times, killing it
Ghost Spawn: There its down
Billy runs up the girl.
Billy: It must be pretty scary being lost in a hollow all by yourself, right? Don't worry. I'm here, now!

Ghost Spawn: Well damn.
Billy: Eh? Uuuh...we saved you.
Little girl: Saved mw? I save you! Why are you wander around that monsters territory?! If I hadn't led you here, you've walked into it!
Nicole: Huh? What are you talking about?
Little Girl: Tch~ If it wasn't for you guys. I would've found my way back to New Eridu by now1
Nekomata: Uuuh..I think I hear something...
Ghost Spawn: Nekomata! Be carful it migh-
Soon an explosion which broke through the wall next to Nekomata, she scream and send flying but Ghost Spawn caught her in time.

Ghost Spawn: And its not an old one either...
Nicole: Th-Thats the Dead End B-Butcher?! I-It bigger than I expecting!
Little Girls: I-Its getting closer...and we have nowehere else to run
She backs up closer to the wall, she did, a bright light suddenly form by her foot. When she looked back, she fell into it and screams as she tried for reach hell. Ghost Spawn got alert and went inside.
Nekomata: Its a hollow exit! She fell into it!
Nicole: Follow her! Quick!
As they went inside the hollow. After few second, Lightshade landed on his feet. Ghost Spawn did same soon he saw other fall, then he use his telekinesis to put other onto the ground safely
Nekomat: Phew...the kids okay.
Nicole: Owww! That hurt! I lmost got a concussion! I didn't expect I'd escape the hollow by falling!
Billy: N-Nicole...
Nicole: Why it is every commission we take ends up becoming so complicated.
Billy: Uuuh...Nicole
Nicole: Nekomata, Don't you think given the circumstances, we should be given a bonus.
Billy: Nicole!
Nicole: I hear you! I've barely been sat on you for over a minute! Quit complainign!
Lightshade: Its not that. Take a look.
Then everyone saw a building, there seemed to be large number of people, shelter.
Ghost Spawn: What the hell...
Nicole: This is..Canva Street fight?
Lightshade: It is. I don't get why is there so many people.
Nicole: Billy! Anby, go and count how many people are here! Quickly!
After a short while.
Ghost Spawn and Lightshade sit down and talking until Nicole, Billy, Anby and Nekomata apporach them.
Ghost Spawn: So, how many.
Billy: At least a hundred. Maybe more! We only got talk to people wo were willing to come out! We don't know if there are many more still hiding.
Lightshade: A hundred lives...thats how much this project is worth a Vision huh. Its time we get very serious.
Nekomata: What is your problem.
Ghost Spawn: Taking down Vision. They might be a massive corporation, but they not invincible. Especially with proof with their intentions right here in front of us.
Nekomata: Absolutely, you're right! They can't get away with this! We have to find a way to saved these people.
Ghost Spawn turns to Nicole.
Ghost Spawn: You?
Nicole: Well...I really didn't expect this when we took this comission..sure we agree to go into Dead end Hollow, but I didn't expect to find so many people stuck down here! Plus, you wanna take on the Vision corporation?! We just an odd job agency.
Ghost Spawn: Billy? Anby?
Billy: I'll follow whatever you say Boss....but Anby.
Anby: I understand your point of you...but I'm afraid I can't agree with Nicole on this one. Spawn...Nekomata. I agree with them, including Lightshade himself. This is my chance...I won't make the same mistake again
Ghost Spawn: "Mistake? What mistake did she did?"
Nicole: God...you guys are against a big organisation...you're really tugging at my heartstrings! This is a Vision Corporaion we're talking about! Just imaigne the amount of money we can could squeeze from them if we threaten to expose them?!
Ghost Spawn: -__- Quite a lot
??: Oh, excuse me?
All of their attention was turn to an elderly lady who had approached them with a gentle smile on her face.
Ghost Spawn: Can we help them mam?
Old Lady: You were the young ones who saved my granddaughter from the hollow. I wanted to thank you. She has always been troublesome, wandering off into the hollows and getting lost. She thinks she can safely go into the hollow because she has ether aptitude. Just yesterday, when Public Security officer didn't tell her the time, she took it upon herself to find a way to New Eridu to ask around
Nicole: I'm sorry...did you say "Officer?"
Old Lady: Oh yes! my granddaughter and a few of our neighbours got tired of waiting here and went to go ask Visions what was taking so long. But an officer stopped them before they got ther. They said it was because there were explosives being handled in the area and that a train would be send to pick us up soon.
Nicole: Mmmm...that officer is suspicious. As far I recall. Public Security has nothing to do with this project.
Lightshade: So it seems we're uncovering more and more of Visions deceit
Old Lady: Excuse me...when you say "deceit"...is there a possibility that Vision have been lying to us?
Ghost Spawn: I'm sorry...but...I think they been. As bad as it is to say. I dont think they would send a train to pick any of you up. So. We're gonna have to do it instead.
Nicole: *smirk* Damn right Ghost Spawn! But there one more thing.
Ghost Spawn: ???
Nicole hands Nekomata her bangboo.
Nicole: Take my bangboo, give it to the proxies, get help!
Nekomata: On it.
Ghost Spawn looks around to see all the people as he had a serious face.

Maria: Scanning....my gods. This got to be work of vision. Like their pretending to be public secuirty. But according for what I've seen. The train got hollow resistance. So the people won't get infected.

They heard a voice from above, they look up to se Kazuko and Kenny, then Kazuko slide down and lands front of them.
Feixiao: Kazuko Chaos Yamoto! The Ghost Spawn himself.!
Kazuko: General Feixiao.
Zani: Nice to meet you in person. The names is Zani.
Kazuko: Nice to meet you.
Feixiao comes closer and smirks.
Feixiao: My, in your human form, you quite more handsome~
Zani: -_- Enough. Kazuko, join us if you want.
Kazuko: Where are heading.
Takano: Deeper into cave, have a feeling more demons might come out.
Then as they walk through the cave and saw a metal door. Kazuko was first to open the door
The ancient city—carved from obsidian stone and soaked in hellfire—breathed like a living thing. Crimson sigils pulsed along ruined arches, and distant war horns echoed through labyrinthine streets. The sky above was a fractured wound, glowing with infernal light as ash drifted like black snow.
Feixiao stepped forward first, boots crunching against demon bone embedded in the ground. Her spear hummed softly, responding to the hostile energy around them.
Feixiao: So this is Hebeth, Feels like a battlefield that never learned how to die."
Zani cracked her neck, lightning flickering faintly along her arms
Zani: Good. Places like this always hide the best fights."
Kazuko looks around eyes scanning every rooftop and shadow. His instincts screamed danger—this place wasn't just full of demons, it remembered slaughter. Beside him, Takano gripped her weapon tightly, standing close but steady. She didn't flinch. She never did.
Kazuko: Stay sharp. Hebeth isn't just Doom hell—it's older. Smarter."
Takano: Then it picked the wrong group to mess with."
Soon more demons charge at them.
rom beneath shattered streets, Hell Knights and twisted abominations clawed their way up, armor fused to flesh, eyes burning like furnaces. Screeches echoed as the horde surged forward.
Feixiao didn't hesitate.
She vanished in a flash of motion—wind and steel becoming one. Her spear pierced through three demons in a single sweeping arc, the shockwave slicing others clean in half.
Zani laughed as she charged straight in, lightning exploding outward as she slammed her fist into a demon's skull.
Zani: Too slow!
The impact vaporized it, electricity chaining into nearby enemies and dropping them twitching to the ground.
Kazuko throw multiple chaos spear at the demons, impale them then he snaps his finger cause the spear to exploded killing lot of the demons. Soon Takano takes out her pistols, and Kazuko got out his hellfire shotgun and firing lot of rounds, blow demons head off. Feixiao see a blast door before enter as it was inside one of the base facility.
Kazuko: I can feel these humans are really holding their own against the demons.
Feixiao: Had a feeling it wont be easy.
Zani: What are we looking for.
Takano: There something in this facility we need to get, and then we assist people and get out
As they move through the facility, and yet killing some demons along the way, as they reach to the second floor and saw big hole, and saw a giant demon titan destroying the bridge.
Zani: Now that is a big one.
Feixiao: We might need to deal with that after this.
Kazuko: I wont forget. We need something heavier.
Zani: There's a Titan Gundam Buster deeper in the facility. Ancient Doom tech. Built to kill things like that."
Takano raised a brow.
Takano: And you didn't mention this earlier?"
Zani smiled
Zani: Wanted to see how far we'd get."
Kazuko sighed. "Lead the way."
As they reach into the sentinel facility as they were jump down the hole into the lab.
Voice: Warning. Incoming Demonic pressence.
Kazuko and the girls eyes widen turn around to see demon knights behind them with big one with plasma cannons.
Zani charge at the knight while summon her giant sword, leap into the air yelled and slam her sword onto the ground sending 4 demon knights away. Feixiao saw the 8 demons with their shield front of them. She grins as he clench her right fist with wind element and charge at them and readed her fist back before thrust it forward at the shield cause a whirlwind as it suck more demons into it as she pick up a rifle and shooting the demons while they are in the air.
The demons revenants are in the air and aiming at Takano, she saw it before get out her shotgun and blowing off their cannons off the revenants shoulder before swung her hands throwing energy shurikens at their head cause it to exploded. Kazuko rushing at the Mancubus, as it roaring and fire it plasma cannons at Kazuko. He use his agility to avoid and jump in the air before grip his shotgun and firing his gun at the demon 2 times, knocking chunk of flesh off, and then summon his chaos energy blade and slash the Mancubus in half. Kenny slash the demons in half with his katana.
Takano pull out 2 grenades and throw them at 2 more Mancubus as the bombs went into their mouth and blowing off their head, and grabs the Key-card.
Takano: Alright. Lets go!
As they rush out of the facility, as they went deeper. Takano notice a huge lab.
Takano: This is it.
Soon the large door open and the girls faces turn into shock, as Kazuko and Kenny had grins on their faces. To see a giant demon mech, with giant black wings on its back
Kenny: NOW THIS IS FIRE POWER!!
Feixiao: I....I'm feeling large amount of chaotic power inside of that thing.
Zani: Its insane......
Kazuko: Its use to battle giant beings, including Kaijus. Lets get inside and test it out.
Soon as they got inside. Kazuko gets on the controls.
Inside the mech, everyone snapped into position.
Kazuko gripped the pilot controls, posture steady, voice calm.
Kazuko: Systems synced. I'm taking movement.
Zani, fingers dancing across targeting glyphs.
Zani: Main cannons online
Feixiao: Missile arrays primed,"
Takano flexed her hands inside the arm-control gauntlets.
Takano: Close combat ready..
Soon the Chaos Mecha was online and begins to move soon its rise up its fist and punches the wall and enter the battlefield. Soon he saw one of the demon titan, and then grabs it by the horns and smash it onto the ground, as the Chaos Slayer raise up his right foot and stomp on its head cause to blood to splash everywhere. Soon as the mech keep moving.
Takano: Nice!
Kazuko: How I miss this.
A Dark Titan turned toward them, roaring as it raised a blade the size of a skyscraper.
Kazuko: it time.
Kazuko boosted forward instead.
The mech slammed shoulder-first into the giant demon, impact detonating the ground beneath them. Dust blasted outward in a circular shockwave.
Takano moved instantly—mech fists locking onto the Titan's horns and wrenching its head sideways. Metal shrieked. Bone cracked.
Takano: Opening!
Feixiao fired the Missiles streaked from the Chaos Slayer's shoulders in perfect formation, slamming into exposed armor seams. Explosions ripped across the Dark Titan's torso, blasting molten fragments into the sky.
The monster staggered. Then swung. A claw the size of a warship smashed into the mech's chest. Alarms screamed.
Zani: Oh good, its hits back!
The Titan raised its other arm for a killing blow, Kazuko's press the button and eyes glow red
Kazuko: Not today!
Boost jets roared. He sidestepped at impossible speed for something that massive, the strike missing by inches. Takano countered instantly, driving a mechanized uppercut into the Dark Titan's jaw, as Mecha punches the Dark titan over and over. Zani fired the main gun—an immense beam that tore through buildings and slammed into the Dark Titan's chest. Feixiao launched precision missile salvos, each detonating along weak points. Takano controlled the mech's arms with deadly grace, catching the Titan's blade and countering with crushing blows.
Kazuko maneuvered with sharp, deliberate movements—dodging strikes by inches, boosting forward when openings appeared.
Feixiao: Core exposed!
Zani: Charging cannon! Torso!
Kenny type the button and pull the leaver. Takano locked the Titan in place. seeing it was getting weaker
Takano: Kazuko! now!
The mechs chest charge up a red energy orb and release a red energy beam through the Dark Core, and then the right arm of the Chaos mecha transformed into a blade and slash its head off.
Inside the cockpit, silence fell except for cooling metal and fading alarms.
Zani:...Okay. That was sick.
Feixiao allowed a small impressed smile.
Feixiao: Efficient execution.
Takano leaned back slightly, adrenaline fading.
Takano: Target eliminated.
Kazuko released the controls.
Kazuko: Okay, lets get out of here.
Soon as they get out of the mecha, soon as the mech itself begin to fly away into the air, a portal was above it and went inside of it.
Zani: Where did it go?
Kazuko: Since we awaken it, Maria made another facility for it, upgrade and whoever we in trouble, we can summon it.
Feixiao: Thats quite handy.
???: But you mortals are not going anywhere
The demonic voice was heard, Kazuko and the girls turn around to see a large demon holding a sword glaring at them.
Vorthulax
Kazuko:...I'll hand this.
Feixiao: You sure, we can take them down together.
Kazuko: No, I got this.
Zani: Are you crazy?! I'm sensing large amount of power within that demon! You won'-
Soon Takano place her hand on Zani shoulder.
Takano: I know, but lets do what he says.
