[Cell, LGN, Steele]
{Fallen Angel Castle Front Lawn}

Crehavos laughed as LGN layed in pain on the ground as he moaned and gauged for Steele had accidentally dropped him when he saw Crehavos's arm grow back. Unknown to Crehavos a little robot crawled off LGN's leg and crawled over to LGN's arm. It spat out a small clamp which in turn it used to pull LGN's arm back. It leaped onto LGN's chest and began to re-attaching it. Crehavos at the moment was looking at the damage LGN had caused to his castle and at Steele. The castle was still on fire and the Tornado still raged, only making Crehavos angry at the site.

Crehavos: Blast! My castle is still destroyed, at least I got that fool's arm to hang on the wall *tries to kick LGN's arm around but it isn't sitting in it's spot anymore* What the?! *turns to LGN*

LGN: You fool Crehavos, I have won this part of our battle. I have demolished your castle and still have my arm so ha! In your face. *Crehavos slices off his arm again*

Crehavos also spoted the little robot LGN used to repair his arm and thus in turn snap his fingers and made it explode. LGN's arm was now permanitly off, and LGN was now permanitly screwed. Steele's eye twitched for reasons yet to be found, but he did anyway.

LGN: Oh no you didn't!

Crehavos: Oh yes I--

Karocka: Didn't! *punches Crehavos in the back and Crehavos falls over*

LGN: Ah butter bisuits it's you again.

Karocka: Wait, I'm super cearal this time. I'm good!

LGN: Suck my kiss! *throws Steele at Karocka and pulls Steele back because he was tied to a string*

[Crehavos, LGN, Steele, Karocka]
[Hell]

Crehavos stands up and turns around to see who had pushed him. Karocka who had just been pushed farther away had gotten up and stared at Crehavos, smiling.

"You..." Crehavos murmered, remembering this weakling from back on Mt. Coronet.

"Me." Karocka said, a smug look on his face.

The Hell King blinked his eyes a few times, and then smiled darkly. "Don't you remember? I defeated you without the sligthest effort way back when. Do you honsetly think you can do ANYTHING to me now?"

"Hey, you just caught me off guard last time! That's all. And I know I can't beat you, but I'm gonna try anyway! This time, I'll show you my true power!"

Karocka charged at Crehavos, giving a great battle cry as he went. The Hell Lord however just stood there, no indication of moving. Right before Karocka reached Crehavos, the ground beneath him sprang to life and seized his feet.

"WHAT?!" The man shouted in anger.

Crehavos smirked, and turned his attention back to LGN. "What were you saying, boy? That my castle is destroyed? Think again." Crehavos raised a hand to the castle and focused on it greatly. It seemed to be rebuilding itself to it's former glory. The pieces that fell of the mountain the castle lay upon, into the lava below, flew back up and mended as well.

"You see?" Crehavos said.

"Who cares about your fancy magic? Face me, and we battle once more." LGN said, pointing his gun at Crehavos.

Crehavos turned back towards LGN, saying, "So smug... But for how long?"

"HEY!" Karocka yelled. "Lemme out of this, now!" He could not break free of his ground imprisonment.

"Get out of it yourself." Crehavos said, beginning to go after LGN once more.

Over quite a ways stood Steele, still confused by the situation. Steele sighed, saying to himself, "How do I get myself into these messes?" while watching Crehavos and LGN fighting fiercly, the Hell King gaining the upper edge on the boy already.

[Kitt eh]

(Outside of Fallen Angel Castle)
.:Lynx, LGN, Crehavos, Steele, Karocka:.

Lynx sat on a high ledge, on the outside of the castle. Watching the small group, outside. It was getting pretty interesting. The one guy, who had recently lost his am, had destroyed the castle Lynx was sitting on. But the man, who Lynx had felt the sickening energy from, only lifted a hand and the building fixed itself. Lynx didn't know why, but he was curious to find out who these people were, that was the main reason he came outside. Hoping maybe he could catch some names of people. Of course the half cat demon was still trying to ignore the sick feeling in his stomach, and being ready for pretty much anything because he had no clue what crazy stuff could happen...

[ManOfSteele]

[Crehavos, LGN, Steele, Karocka]
[Hell]

Steele continued to watch the battle between LGN and Crehavos, until he turned his attention towards Karocka who looked like he was trying to jump in the air to escape his imprisionment. Steele ran over to where he was.

Steele: Hey, need some----- I remember you

Karocka: What...... Oh yeah, your that one kid.....

Steele: Yeah, that one kid who sent you here where you belong!

Karocka: And now you're here too. Score one for Karocka.

Steele:............Touche.........

Karocka: So you gonna let me out??

Steele: Lets see.... let out a guy who that last time I met him was trying to kill me.....No.

Karocka: Ok, seriously I've changed, for the better. Please help me. Please.

Steele's eyes opened wider. Those words echoed in his head Please help me. Please. Steele stared at the ground, mouth a gape.

Karocka:.......................Uhhhhhhhh Hello??

Steele: Oh................Ok, here ya go

Steele unsheithed a long sword and started banging away at his ground imprsionment. Eventually the ground cracked, and Karocka was able to break free.

Karocka:YES!!! Thanks...... Now I can make up for me loosing at Mt. Coronet. Get ready Crehavos......

[IOwnedYou]

IOY saw Dobs disappear from the battle thinking it ended. " I... Have had enough of this SSS bullsh!t", The pirate rose from the rubble of the HQ. IOY ran at the pirate and snapped the pirates ankle with a forcefull kick and then when the pirate fell to the ground IOY stuck his hand into the pirates skull and ripped out it's brain. His hand was oozing in blood and phazon. He walked down the halls and crashed through the walls. He passed by smashbro and a little girl not noticing them. Flames caught spark and burnt Smashbro's left hand. Then the little girl yelled out... " HI!" IOY stopped. He curled his hand into fist. He turned his head slightly. " So Smashbro...", flames rose up. " How are you gonna run now?"

[Naked Snake II]

GEO: Kin! How's it going?

KIN: Good good.....*looks around*

GEO: You are probably wondering were we are...Well Were in hell.

KIN:......What? Hell? Did we die or soemthing?

GEO: No. Silver Serpent is working for Crehavos. We are imprisoned in his Castle.

KIN: Makes scence I guess.

GEO: Look. I've had this weird feeling. We gotta fond a way out of this place before something happens.

KIN: Hmm...Now that you mention it, I do scence some bad vibes in this place...or it could be cause I'm in..Hell. Then again...I scence something very wrong here.

GEO: We gotta get out fast..See if you can use your magic and find a way out..

KIN: Alright...

Kin starts to concentrate

GEO: What's wrong?

KIN: I...can't seem to get my magic to work right now..

GEO: What? Why?

KIN: I don't know...

[Crehavos, LGN, Steele, Karocka]
[Hell]

Karocka: Crehavos!

(Dragonforce - Fury of the Storm)

Crehavos: What now? *warrlock kicks LGN over*

Karocka: Time to die! *blue, red, and white, aura glows around him* Steele bring out the leveler.

Steele: What the heck is the--?

The leveler falls right next to Steele with a thud. The leveler was actually more like a rolute wheel you'd see in Wheel of Fortune only with levels on it.

Karocka: I tried to take you on at level zero, but let's see what happens when I kick it up to level 5! *snaps*

The wheel turns to level five automaticly and soon the aura around Karocka was brighter and larger. Crehavos glared at Karocka; he didn't really know what to expect from this strange new being who he had never seen before but looked like a wuss and no one took him seriously. Karocka lifted his head facing the sky and howled (not wolf howl, but like heavy metal howl) shaking the Hellish grounds they stood on. Stone creatures now emerged from the ground with instruments of rock and bone. They played a naughty beat that thundered through out Hell. Crehavos's slaves stopped what they were doing and listened and looked in the direction of where the music was coming from.

Karocka stuck out his left arm slowly and soon the rock soil below it broke off and made the shape of a sword. Karocka tightened his grip for a brethe moment and some of the rock was melted into iron and steel. Karocka held the sword in front of him and appeared as if he could charge at lightning speed at any moment, but really it was only a distraction. As his back was turned LGN crawled up behing Crehavos, sword in hand, and dug it through Crehavos's right foot. Crehavos yelped in pain and gazed down at his foot which now had a sword sticking out the front of it. Crehavos was jammed full of frustration, anger, and all means to kill. He turned around thus making LGN lose control of his sword and Crehavos swung his right foot back.

Crehavos: Here's a taste of you're on blade dreamer!

This was exactly what Karocka wanted to happen. Karocka now flashed across the grounds of the Fallen Angel Castle and when he reappeared he lunged forward at Crehavo's backside. Crehavos at the last possible moment swung his arm back and caught the tip of the blade. Crehavos now had to keep his balance and canceled his attack on LGN and planted his foot back on the ground. Karocka and Crehavos both struggled from allowing their opponet's will prevailing. LGN now grabbed his pistol out of his gun holister located on his right hip and opened fire at Crehavo's chest. Crehavos now tried to block the bullets with his arm from reaching his body, even for him a bullet to the chest isn't something that anyone could shake off and walk away from easily.

LGN and Karocka had Crehavos now all tied up. One false movement could leave his two enemies with the upper hand and the quick momental victory. But Crehavos was starting to win the self battle's against LGN and Karocka now pushing Karocka's sword farther back and he manged to swat LGN's pistol out of his hand. It looked like their undiscussed perfect timing plan was going to fail, that is....until the last hero commited to the fight.

Steele: Sacred Sword Technique Number Four!!!

Steele stuck his sword right into Crehavos's side and left a big gash in it. Crehavos was caught off guard by Steele's attack, he had never encountered anyone who knew the "Scared Sword Technique Number Four" before, let alone use it. Crehavos no longer could move his body as the legend fortold, for who suffers from the technique (like the leevers) they can not move....or at least for now. Still trying to dig his sword deep into the heart Crehavos he helped LGN up and then made sure Crehavos couldn't use his both arms to stop LGN's attack. LGN stood face to face with Crehavos, now LGN had the advantage.

LGN: Dream on baby!

CRACK! LGN slammed his head into Crehavo's face who let out a cry of pain and agony because he couldn't have stopped that. LGN then kicked Crehavos in the "happy place" and Crehavos sweared after the vicious kick. Karocka now yanked his sword out Crehavo's clutches and held up to Crehavo's backside of his neck.

Karocka: I told you I could beat you.

Crehavos: This isn't over yet, and besides you had these dumb bumbiling SSS to help you.

Karocka: I use my resources wisely. Sure, LGN killed me and I ended up here, I should hate his guts. LGN should hate my guts because I nearly killed him about three times now, but we set aside our hatred to take you down. Why would I do that? Because the only thing standing in my way of getting ou-- I mean from ruling this kingdom is you.

Crehavos: You'll have to do better then--*coughs up blood*

Karocka: Better then what, you? You fight your battles alone. Sure you may have Ekin, Gannondorf, Bowser, and other followers, but they simply only work for you because of their greed for power.

Crehavos: Last time I checked you wanted to take over Hell. How's that NOT power hungry?

Steele: Bottom line, it's payback time Crehavos. The SSS is tired of you and what you've done. Stand down.

Crehavos: Never.

LGN picked up his severed arm and walked back over to Crehavos. He grunted and swung his arm violently at Crehavos leaving blood on his face from LGN's arm.

LGN: How do you like that Crehavos?! If this wasn't a dream I wouldn't be able to do this, but I am right now.

Karocka: What?

Crehavos: Oh yeah? Let's see how long your dream's happy.

LGN: *whacks Crehavos in the mouth with his cut off arm* Ah be quiet your ruining the moment.

[Cell]

[Crehavos, LGN, Karocka, Steele]
[Hell]

Stuck in one useless position, bound and wounded, Crehavos smiled. He began laughing, louder and louder, sounding psychotic to say the least.

"You fools!" Crehavos shouted at all of them. "Do you honestly think you can take down me, Lord Crehavos?! I'm the ruler of the underworld, a diety if you please. Now do you mortals think that you have won? You're blind."

There was a bright flash, and Crehavos was fully healed, and able to move again having broken the sacred spell. He grabbed Steele's sword that was in his side, and yanked it out; breaking it in two. He tossed the blade far off and said, "Let the real game begin."

Raised his arms up high, and the ground began shacking. All of them looked behind Crehavos to see the lava from below began rising upwards into a form of a tidal wave. Crehavos simply smirked and said, "Surfs up..." The wave of lava started crashing down upon all of them, everyone except Crehavos were running for their lives. They all managed to climb the mountain higher up to get away from the lava, but then the ground began erupting lava as well.

"Does this jerk ever quit?!" Karocka yelled.

"Never." A voice said. Crehavos was airborn in front of them all, crossing his arms. He raised a hand, and lava began flowing directly at the group, along with hellish bird-dragons from the sky above. Crehavos then flew directly at them, sword drawn. LGN was first to strike, shooting Crehavos directly in the forehead, but to no avail. The bullet simply bounced off the Hell King, and LGN was sliced across the chest with Crehavos' evil sword.

"DAMMIT!" LGN screamed. Crehavos flew upwards again, leaving them all to dodge the lava. However, Karocka jumped up from them and engaged in combat against the Hell Lord. Crehavos and Karocka exchanged punches and sword slashes, however Karocka seemed to be taking more damage altogether. Finally, Crehavos kicked the man out of the sky, Karocka just managing to grab onto the mountain with a few fingers.

"On your knees, I want you to beg for forgiveness." Crehavos said. His eyes glowed a bright red, and they heard a great screech in the distance. Giratina in it's Origin Form was flying directly at Karocka, eyes filled with death.

"HOLY SH*T!" Karocka yelled seeing the colossal dragon flying at him. He jumped off of the mountain, running along the ground. Giratina followed right on his tail, shooting massive Shadow Balls at him.

Steele grew angry, and dashed at Crehavos now, while LGN was shooting at the Hell King. Crehavos swiftly vanished, appearing behind LGN; elbowing the poor soul hard in the back of the neck.

"LGN!" Steele cried as his friend fell to the ground, unconcious. He turned to Crehavos, shouting "YOU BASTARD!" He ran at Crehavos, who stood there waiting for the attack. Their swords clashed, sparking everywhere. Steele seemed to be gaining the edge on Crehavos, however, the Hell Lord shot an enourmous amount of energy out of his body, causing Steele to be pushed back.

"I won't.... fall!" Steele shouted. He managed to push Crehavos back, running at the disarranged Hell Lord at full speed. Once he was about to slash the Hell Lord in two, Crehavos looked directly at Steele and shouted, "NECRY ROAR!" Crehavos roared the most mind numbing, horrid screech ever heard before, leaving Steele blown far back, leaving the boy holding his ears in pain.

Crehavos stood back up, still in awe at the boy's power to be able to push him back, at least at his normal level of power. Steele however was still on the ground, screaming in agony at the powerful sound attack released on him. Karocka was still running from Giratina, now attempting to fight the beast back with his sword.

"Stay back, ugly!" Karocka yelled at the Pokemon, managing to slash it's under belly once. Giratina screeched in pain, but quickly regained its composure. He smacked Karocka hard with its tail, leaving the rough tough man to crash deep into the mountain. Karocka quickly got out, looking livid. Being a master of earth like powers, he made big chunks of the mountain fly at Crehavos. One piece was able to snag Crehavos' right arm off, leaving the Hell King severely angry. The mountain pieces suddenly stopped, and all flew back at Karocka, twice the force.

They all colided against Karocka at once, holding there for a few moments. When the rocks fell apart, Karocka was knocked out, brutally beaten to a pulp. He fell out of the sky, hitting the ground with a heavy thud. Steele had stopped screaming, and Crehavos saw him to be unconcious as well.

Crehavos was about to kill them all, when he decided that he shouldn't. He opened a large portal, and all of the brutally burned, bloody, and bruised people were thrown through it, to where the rest of the SSS party was in the Dark World.

His voice echoed out to the surprised people in the other realm, saying, "This is only a taste of the true terror that's in store for you. If anyone else try and stop me, go ahead. Your fate will be much worse than these three... You've been warned..." With that, the portal closed, and Crehavos and Giratina flew back over to the castle, to await the arrival of Dobs.

[Kitt eh]

(Fallen Angel Castle)
.:Lynx:.

Lynx, had fallen a sleep on the ledge he was sitting on. He woke up and yawned. He did get what you wanted, he learned some names, and peoples faces to, Crehavos, Steele, and LGN. That's all he got, which was pretty good he thought. Lynx heard noise and sleeply looked up, it was that Crehavos guy and a werid looking dragon thing. He stood still until they passed by, on a ledge wasn't the best spot to get caught snooping around where you shouldn't.

Akki: Maybe this would be a good time to leave...

Lynx: *shakes head* Nah, they would have to look hard to find me, I'm not to worried.

Lynx eventually found his way back inside the castle, then and using shadows, to keep himself well hidden and unseen.

[Cell]

[Crehavos, Lynx]
[Fallen Angel Castle]

After he rested for several hours, Crehavos went about his castle, checking to see if anything else had been out of place. There was only a few broken window panes, but he mended them easily. The royal staff were all rather shaken, but the Hell Lord calmed them, saying "It was all just a few fools, that's all. I dealt with them, don't worry. Back to work, away!"

Once all of them left, Crehavos picked up an unknown energy signal inside the castle. It was in this very room... somewhere. He called out to whoever was here, "Whoever you are, leave my castle immediatly. Or I will come and slaughter you with my bare hands."

A cat person crept out of the shadows, very fearful of the Hell Lord.

"Sorry, sorry. I'll just be... going now..." Lynx said, running out of the castle, trying to get as far away from Crehavos as possible.

Crehavos simply shook his head, muttering to himself, "These fools just never learn..."

[Kitt eh]

(Outside, Fallen Angel Castle)
.:Lynx:.

Lynx got outside finally and rubbed the back of his head.

Lynx: That was a little bit too close for comfort....

Akki: What did you say about "it would be hard to find me".

Lynx: Akki, shad ap!

Lynx: Question is... *looks around* how the heck do I get out of here?

Akki: Blood portal, duh.

Lynx: And land on my face again, no thank you, once is good enough.

Akki: Suit yourself, but that guy won't like you prowling around the castle.

Lynx: *sighs* fine...

He drew his blood symbol on the ground, and used his blood, by pricking his finger. Lynx jump in the blood portal he made, it shutting right after he jumped in.
