The Kiss steps out onto a balcony overlooking the cavern. Next to Goliath.

The balcony is... nice. It's Lilith's balcony. A rich city apartment balcony. Lots of seating, some snacks. Very stylish. Some RGB lighting on the railing. It's nice.

Lilith and Belphegor are lounging around already. Lilith vapes while Belphegor is on her phone.

The rest of the balconies from that first tournament have returned as well, with some changes. L1MB0, on their monochromatic platform. Thrall on his castle-like balcony. Legion and the US Army Attire Crow (The one who screams COOOLEE GENESONE) are watching from their fancy theatre seating. Mischief and another Deer, dressed in a suit and tie with sunglasses, sit and chat on a cabin loft. Satan watches from his stone overhang, on his throne of skulls. Carnelian and Sapphire sit in their levitating chairs, Abalone's being long gone by now.

...There's also a mysterious presence. From above. The crack in the ceiling allowing the eternally full moon to shine down into the pit, up there? Hmm... Maybe you're just hallucinating.

Now, down below? A FUCKING MOSHPIT.

Not only are there OBVIOUSLY a majority of wrath demons, cheering and howling as per usual, but there are ALSO a lot of other demons! Sloth demons sit, chilling, waiting for the madness. A flock of crows hovers around, pecking and picking fights with some Envy demons who are attempting and FAILING to match the rowdiness of those damned wolves. And, of course...

A group of Lilith stans. With signs. Cheering for Lilith. Oh no.

Goliath watches with a smug grin. Probably one of the biggest turnouts he's ever gotten.

..And, finally, the rest of his Gladiators turned up.

Those last two will get here eventually.

He clears his throat with a rumble that shakes the cavern.

"𝗔𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗥𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧. 𝗜𝗦 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗬?"

"𝗪𝗘'𝗩𝗘 𝗚𝗢𝗧 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗜𝗥 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗦𝗘 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗧𝗦, 𝗙𝗢𝗟𝗞𝗦! 𝗬𝗢𝗨'𝗥𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔 𝗚𝗢𝗗𝗗𝗔𝗠𝗡 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗪. 𝗝𝗨𝗨𝗨𝗦𝗧, 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗜𝗧. 𝗗𝗢𝗡'𝗧 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙 𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗖𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗕𝗬 𝗔 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗬 𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗔𝗖𝗞, 𝗗𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨? ..𝗢𝗥 𝗠𝗔𝗬𝗕𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗗𝗢."

He gives a subtle glare to the Lilith stans.

"𝗙𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗘𝗜𝗥𝗗𝗢𝗦."

Harmonia stands at the edge of the balcony, overlooking the pit with a wide grin and waving at the demons below.

Melody is clinging to Asphodel and looking over the cavern in amazement.

Isaac is glancing around.

Cole waves to Satan and the US Army Attire Crow with a smile.

Claire and Asphodel are talking about how they hate Sssniperwolf's acting in Dhar Mann videos. Completely distracted and not looking at the cavern

"Oh god, there's Lilith stans." Luna says, waving awkwardly at the crowd.

Satan waves back to Cole, a smile on his face.

The crow jumps onto the railing and screams; "COOOOOOLLLLEEEEE GENESONNEEE!!!!!"

There are numerous cheers and whistles in the direction of the Kiss.

Spider glances around before looking up at the crack in the ceiling, head tilted slightly.

Cerberus has the biggest fucking grin imaginable.

Melody looks to Cerberus. "Cerb?"

Cole, Spider, and Harmonia all hear their names in the crowd. Well... WOULD hear their name. Cerberus is getting easily the most praise here.

Are you really surprised, though?

"I have a fucking crow screaming my name, lmao,” Cole says.

"I thought you said the nonferals are all gone?” Isaac says.

Cerberus is basking in the cheers. He looks to Melody "𝒲𝖍⍺𝙩'𝕤 𝘂𝜌 :]"

Luna turns to Isaac. "Nah, those are metamorphosis demons, kinda like what I am."

One of Claire's eyes is lit up a different color, mostly a light blue but it seems to shift and change slightly. The other is bright red. (She's watching Dhar Mann videos)

"It's complicated.” Cole waves dismissively at Isaac and is staring at Satan with a wide grin.

Harmonia flicks Cerberus's ear for the crowd, wanting to get them even more riled up. (She even gives him a lil smooch on the cheek.)

Melody is staring at Cerberus. "You're okay? after. uh." She points at her neck

Cole Genesone is hit in the chest by the Crow (wearing a US Army Helmet as per usual and a Cole Genesone #1 T-Shirt [manufactured by Rham's company]) flying towards him at Mach 1

THE CROWD GIVES A BUNCH OF "OOOOOOOHHH??"s DRAMATICALLY LIKE A NICKELODEON SITCOM FROM THE 2010s AT THE KISS.

Cole makes a fucking grunt and stumbles back slightly. "I have merch."

Isaac glares at Cole’s biggest fan.

Cerberus’s ears flicker with the flick, before he headbutts Harmonia in return, giving an even wider grin. She will be getting smothered.

The left head looks at Melody "No worries, I'm fine now."

Harmonia is petting Cerberus.

Melody nods. "Okie! I was worried..."

"COOOOLLEEEE GENESONE!!!" Screams the crow.

Orpheus and Eurydice are struggling to control themselves and violently shaking the railing.

"Ohhh my god is this what being a wrath demon is SUPPOSED to feel like???? Our opponents are FUCKED HEHEHHEHEHEHE."

Harmonia is also waving at Thrall now.

“Calm yourself, the railing can't handle small children.” Cole snickers and puts the crow on his shoulder.

Isaac is now giving the crow a death glare.

Goliath is staring at the group on the balcony with a smirk. "Couple minutes, guys. Clairmonia is up first."

Lilith blows some smoke into the air, looking at Cole. "That lil guy has been screeching your name for like. an hour."

Belphegor is staring up at the moon.

Thrall waves back! Giving Harmonia a thumbs up and mouthing (with his fucked up monster mouth since it's THRALL) "YOU GOT THIS.”

The crow pecks at Cole’s head.

Claire smiles, her fangs showing slightly.

2 wolves in the crowd faint.

Luna just looks at the moon, sitting somewhere. She's nervous as hell, but otherwise keeping her cool.

Harmonia grins and stops petting Cerberus, picking Claire up bridal style and showing her to the crowd. "THIS IS MY FUCKING WIFE!!!"

Spider rolls her eyes.

Cole looks to Lilith. “He is my biggest fan, fuck else do you expect from a Cole Genesone stan?"

"PEE BANG BANG!” Claire yells.

Cerberus nudges Orpheus/Eurydice with a grin ."໐ꓧ 𝗬𝔼𝞐𝐻??? 𝘭⟙'𝘓𐐛 ᖴ𝔈𝕰ℒ ℰ𝒱𝚬𝓝 𝝗𝖤𐌕𝚃Ꭼ𐒴 𝓦ℋ𝕰𝚴 𐊲ס𝑈'𐒴ℰ 𝘍⏽Ԍ𝛨𐊱𝖑𝔑𝕲."

Melody reaches a hand out and pets Cerberus nervously.

A gaggle of Harmonia stans in the crowd (wearing hats that say "WE STAN THE DUTCHESS OF PISSLANTIS!!" and shirts that say "GO BUTTERFLY GO!") cheer LOUDLY FOR CLAIRE AND HARMONIA.

Lilith snickers. "You ain't got nothing on my fanbase, though~" She blows a kiss /tease at Cole.

Orpheus cheers. "HELL YEAHHH!!"

A group of 5 Pride demons leave silently because Sparrow isn't here. They even had Sparrow Themed Candles and everything :(

Cole points out the Sparrow fans and fucking screams. "HOMESTUCK FANS SPOTTED!”

Harmonia grins, clearly in her element.

The goats are quickly pulled into the woodchipper that is the Wrath Demon crowd.

Cole giggles manically to himself. “I have too much power."

Asphodel begins singing Tom Jones' What's New Pussycat?

“And here I thought this was supposed to be a tournament, not a social gathering.” Spider mutters.

Luna shrugs, enjoying herself and definitely not on the verge of hyperventilation

Just as Spider says that, Claire and Harmonia are PICKED UP BY GOLAITH.

"𝗜𝗧'𝗦 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛, 𝗙𝗢𝗟𝗞𝗦!"

Legion waves at Luna.

"DUDE I COULDVE GLIDED US IN IT WOULDVE BEEN COOL :(" Harmonia yells.

Luna waves back!

“Get fucked lmao.” Cole says.

"WAAAAH!" Screams Claire.

Harmonia's grandma walks out onto Legion’s balcony. She’s wearing a go butterfly go shirt and a pisslantis hat. Oh god. She is holding up a massive sign that says. "KICK ASS HARMONIA!!!"

Basically, elderly crow grandma is SWEARING and looks to Legion. "THAT'S MY GRANDDAUGHTER!!!"

There's a red-bearded vulture chewing on a chair leg bone and sitting next to Satan as he waves at Cole with a smile.

Cole waves back to the vulture. "I hope that's a British person’s bone.”

The vulture giggles and continues chewing.

"Miss Brownell on some shit for real Harmonia!!" Claire says with a smile.

“Huh?” Harmonia replies.

"Dhar Mann episode from July 12, 2022.”

Goliath places them down into the arena pit, chuckling. "Get bent, Harm." He clears his throat. "N-"

The HARMONIA CROWD CHEERS LOUDLY. LIKE SCREAMING VERY LOUDLY.

Goliath sighs and SLAMS his fist against the ground.

"𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗢𝗗𝗗𝗔𝗠𝗡 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗧, 𝗙𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗦!"

Everybody shuts up. He clears his throat.

"𝗡𝗢𝗪!"

He snaps.

From the ceiling near Goliath, hung from chains, carved into stone.

[CLAIRE, HARMONIA] - [MISCHIEF, FRANK A. GOON]

[LUNA, SPIDER] - [BELPHEGOR, LILITH]

[CERBERUS, ORPHEUS] - [ROE, DELTA]

[MELODY, ASPHODEL] - [BONE GOLEM #1 & #2]

[LUCILLE, KNIGHT] - [CARNELIAN, SAPPHIRE]

[BLOSSOM, ARIMIDEX] - [AZAZEL, RIVERS]

[COLE, ISAAC] - [URIEL, GABRIEL]

"𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗙 𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦. 𝗣𝗔𝗬 𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗢𝗡𝗘!"

The crowd is full of murmurs and talks. The Envy Demons and various Harmonia stans GLARE at each other. Spider's Wrath Fans GLARE VIOLENTLY at LILITH'S STANS.

Mischief picks up Frank bridal style and jumps from the balcony into the arena.

She lands with an effortless huff and places Frank down next to her. He seems TERRIFIED.

"ggood jumping, Boss.!"

Mischief chuckles, CRACKING her KNUCKLES. "No problem. What's up, Harmonia? Harmonia Iris Reeds? Harmonia PISSBABY Reeds??"

Frank is wearing a dark blue suit, tie, and fedora. Sunglasses obscure his eyes. He's a muscular envy demon.

Mischief looks the same as usual! Just a new outfit. Matching with Frank. For fun.

Harmonia is still just grinning and cracks her knuckles. "Ready to lose, Duckworth? Fuckin ducky wucky???"

Goliath chuckles. "𝗥𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗗 𝗨𝗣 𝗔𝗟𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗬, 𝗘𝗛? 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗢𝗡 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗜𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗡. 𝙁𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏!"

Mischief breaks Harmonia's nose with a single punch! Bapped in the face! Mobster style!

Frank seems slightly stunned. "WH. DAMN, GET HER, BOSS!"

The Envy Demons Cheer. The Pisslantians GROWL AND SNARL AND SCREAM. THEY'RE CHEERING FOR HARMONIA (and Claire by association.)

Claire stares at Frank, her eyes reverting to the normal bright red. "I'm going to eat you."

Harmonia sneers in pain and immediately attempts to elbow Mischief right across the jaw, her nose bleeding heavily.

Frank stares at Claire like a deer in the headlights. Because he is. Her eyes are the headlights.

Mischief gets elbowed in the jaw and nearly gets knocked to the ground, but she immediately gets back up and puts her jaw back into place, spitting out some sappy blood. "Fucking HELL, Harm! You can hit strong as balls??"

THE PISSLANTIANS CHEER!!! A FIGHT BREAKS OUT IN THE CROWD!!!

Apollo is also cheering in the crowd.

Claire runs up to Frank, the air around her hands getting all wobbly like the air over a hot car in the summer, and she starts tearing at his suit with her nails and growling.

Frank falls to the ground.

Apollo is also sawing off a Cole Genssone stan's leg while cheering.

Harmonia wipes some blood away and attempts to kick Mischief in the chest. "Been through the wringer a few times." She says, breaking into a grin.

"IT'S CHIEF, YOU DUMBASS!" Apollo yells while breaking someone's femur.

Claire begins BATTERING Frank with her fists, making the meat juicy and tender. "I love venison."

Frank is screaming and crying!

Mischief picks Harmonia up by her leg before she can kick her. And then throws her across the arena. By her leg.

A deer in the audience shudders. It doesn't want to be eaten (at 3am) (gone wrong)

Apollo makes direct eye contact with the deer in the audience. "You're next."

Claire begins clawing at Frank’s chest, trying to open him up.

Frank is opened.

Claires starts eating him.

Frank tastes like venison and roasted beans.

Cerberus watches. "𐌕Н𝑨𝖳'𝖲 𝝖𝑳ꮮ𝟢𝑾𝜠𝗗???"

Apollo looks at Claire. "ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!"

Harmonia tumbles in the air before extending her wings and turning, managing to glide back to the arena. She lands near Mischief and runs at her, attempting to roundhouse kick her in the chest.

Melody averts her eyes, whimpering at Goon's death and hugging Cerberus.

Orpheus is cheering and clapping.

Goliath looks at Cerberus and shrugs. He looks to L1MB0.

L1MB0 gives a thumbs up.

Goliath looks back to Cerberus.

"I guess???"

Mischief ducks under the kick and PUNCHES Harmonia where her BALLS would be.

Claire chews on Frank’s heart yum yum yum.

Harmonia stumbles back but is just staring at Mischief. "What the fuck." Then she tries to kick Mischief in the head.

Apollo is hunting down the deer in the audience.

The deer disappears to LimVeil2 to haunt some fuckers making a 3 am video

CLAIRE IS EATING FRANK GRAHHHH!

Cerberus is OVERJOYED.

"FUCK!!" Apollo looks at someone wearing a Harmonia shirt. "..." He picks them up by the collar and breaks their spine in half over his knee. He takes the shirt and puts it on.

Mischief chuckles. "Used to fighting Men." She then grabs Harmonia's foot and pushes her back.

The Gluttony boars are scared, at first, but then pat him on the back for being a fellow stan and continuing to cheer for Harmonia.

Frank tastes like a British breakfast.

Apollo grabs one of the boar's hands and breaks it off of the rest of their arm with brute force. "Don't touch me." He sits down and takes a bite out of one of the fingers.

Claire places her hands in Frank's wounds and begins to COOK HIM.

Harmonia stumbles back and attacks again, attempting to punch Mischief in the stomach to wind her.

The boar's hand tastes like cooked Ham. The boar is ok with this transaction.

Frank COOKS.

Mischief is PUNCHED and stumbles back, coughing a bit. "Ack. I probably could've dodged that." She swings a punch at Harmonia's neck.

Claire is eating venison.

Apollo is eating ham.

Harmonia moves so it only grazes the back of her neck. She stumbles forward, grabbing her neck and coughing.

Now Mischief goes to knee Harmonia in the chest.

It works and Harmonia falls over, coughing and rolling out of her range.

Mischief dusts herself off and steps towards Claire and notices her fucking EATING FRANK. "Damn ok??? Go off I guess???"

Harmonia gets back to her feet and tries to sweep Mischief's legs while she's distracted.

Mischief falls backward onto Harmonia.

Claire stares at Mischief. "If you interrupt my meal I am going to make Envy need a new fledgling." She then continues eating Frank.

Harmonia grabs Mischief’s neck in a headlock and starts choking.

Mischief claws at her arms and WRITHES.

Harmonia takes the claws and flops on the ground, attempting to mimic an alligator death roll.

Mischief claws at her for a bit before passing out. (She forgot she doesn't have to breathe) Harmonia lets go of her before lifting her up bridal style, nose still bleeding a bit. She grins at the crowd, then Goliath, then Thrall, then Iris.

LOUD CHEERING VERY VERY LOUD CHEERING WOO WOAHHH YEAHHH

The 4 in the pit have their visions flash static before they return to their respective places. Mischief to her balcony and then Harmonia, Claire, and Claire's meal to Lilith's balcony.

L1MB0 claps, giving a nod to Goliath.

Goliath clears his throat. "𝗔𝗡 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗙𝗨𝗟 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗢𝗡𝗘! 𝗪𝗢𝗢𝗛𝗢𝗢! 𝗚𝗟𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗦, 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝟱."

Legion, Thrall, and Satan all clap. The Overseers stare at Harmonia, chatting between themselves.

"WOOO HARMONIA!!!" Orpheus gives Harmonia a hug.

Lilith snickers, standing up.

"Damn good show, Harm. You're a fighter."

She taps Belphegor on the shoulders.

"..HUH???"

"You missed the first match, Bel."

"..Oh. That sucks."

"Yup! Was a good one, but the next will be better."

Belphegor sighs, getting up. "Right." Belphegor walks off and hops off of the balcony, flying over to L1M's.

Lilith walks over to Spider and Luna, blowing some smoke in their direction. "Hey, you two~ Ready for our fight? I sure as hell am."

Spider chuckles. "Same here."

Luna looks nervous, but even so, she takes a breath and calms herself. "Yeah, I'm down."

Harmonia hugs Orpheus back and smiles at Lilith! "Thanks!" She’s PETTING Orpheus and gives a worried glance to Claire.

Melody looks up to see Claire near and whimpers, hiding behind Asphodel and Cerberus.

Melody is safe but Cerberus is CHEERING.

Isaac gets tired of standing and sits on the ground.

Cole is sitting with Isaac.

Claire is full and stashes the corpse to the side to take back home

Orpheus's tail is WAGGING.

Lilith chuckles. "I'm sure it'll be fun. Just, uh.." She leans close to Spider, whispering. "Go easy on Bel, if ya could. Been a bit... Off, recently." She pulls away, patting Spider on the back with a grin then walks over to Cerberus who is watching with a grin.

Spider sighs.

Luna turns to Spider. "Lemme take Lilith. I think I can handle her. Plus... well, I need to prove to myself that I can fight hypnosis users." She sighs, feeling the pressure.

"Sure.” Spider replies.

Harmonia gives them a thumbs up. “You guys got this.”

Luna nods, then clicks the app on her phone, transforming her into her MG form. It's that same witch dress Lilith seemed to like a lot. Big and flowy, orange and black, with striped leggings and a big ass witch hat. She exhales, bringing herself to zen. "Let's do this Spider."

Spider chuckles. "This'll be fun."

Spider and Luna are picked up.

Lilith dissipates into pink smoke, which moves towards the pit.

"𝗔𝗟𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗟𝗞𝗦, 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 𝟮."

Belphegor looks towards the pit, sighing. She says one last word to L1MB0 and hops off the balcony, flying down to the arena.

LILITH STANS AND SPIDER FANS BEGIN TEARING EACH OTHER TO SHREDS IN THE CROWD.

Luna and Spider are put in the arena :]

Luna pulls out her sword and augments with it lightning, and is rather thankful she has no stans.

Spider has her eyes locked in the direction of Belphegor and Lilith. She doesn't pull out any weapons though.

Belphegor lands, cracking her knuckles with a sigh.

Lilith reforms from the cloud of smoke right next to Bel, leaning on her a bit. "Ya got this, Bel. We'll do good."

Belphegor has no comment.

"𝙁𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏!"

Spider instantly lunges at Belphegor, aiming a punch at her face, she's wearing reinforced gloves so if it lands it will definitely hurt.

Luna rushes in and attempts to slash at Lilith's side. If it hits, she'll be zapped with some lightning as well!

Belphegor stumbles back and falls to the ground, clutching her face. "FUCK-" Spider, unfortunately, feels like she just punched a solid stone wall.

Lilith, being a goddamn RABBIT, jumps over Luna and lands behind her. She wraps her arms around Luna and whispers in her ear. "Oohh~ Good move, good swing. I can tell you've been training. It shows~" She chuckles, blowing some smoke into Luna's face. If she breathes it in, it smells like strawberries... sickeningly sweet strawberries. It makes her feel... Sleepy and happy at once.

Well, IF she breathes it in! And if she breathes enough of it in. Just keep it in mind for later :)

Luna tries not to breathe in the gas and blips a few feet away to keep her distance. Afterward, she sends a lightning blast directly to Lilith's location! "Thundershock!"

Spider snarls, shaking her hand before she turns and kicks Belphegor in the stomach, attempting to wind her.

Lilith is hit and poofs into a cloud of smoke. She reappears a few seconds later, fur standing up on edge. "Ooh~! SHOCKING~! That'd be a popular move in Lust if ya get what I'm saying." She cackles, reaching up to her horns and forming a whip from smoke. "Let's get this show on the road."

Belphegor disappears right before she could kick and hits Spider's neck with a chop. It feels like getting hit in the neck with a fuckin CINDERBLOCK. FORCEFULLY.

Belphegor's face is cracked like stone.

"Oooooh, a smoke whip! Both interesting AND kinky!" Luna sends more lightning blasts toward Lilith.

Spider bites back a yelp as she disappears, appearing behind Belphegor and attempting to break one of her wings.

"You get it!" Lilith cackles, rushing Luna and dodging all the strikes. Well, all of the strikes except the last. She swings her whip, wrapping it around Luna's face, but in turn, gets hit right by the lightning. She falls to the ground, back burnt, but keeps the whip held tight, yanking it back.

"FUCK. HAHAHA. BEEN A WHILE SINCE SOMEONE'S GOT ME LIKE THAT!"

Belphegor screams, her wing snapping right off and crumbling to stone dust in Spider's hand.

In it's place is a swirling navy blue and grey mass in the exact shape of such. "BITCH." Belphegor swings back, trying to elbow Spider straight in the jaw.

Satan STARES at Isaac.

Spider chuckles and ducks the swing before going for the other wing.

Luna gets yanked towards Lilith, but this is exactly what she wanted. She holds her breath and sends a targeted lightning blast directly at the hand holding the whip! She would also make up a name for this attack but yanno, she's not able to breathe.

Belphegor dodges and swings at Spider once again.

Lilith’s hand is struck and it, along with the whip, dissipates into smoke.

Lilith gets up, giving a sharp cry of pain. "FFUCK. HHHAHAHA. HOLLYY SHIT." She grins, glaring down at Luna with swirling eyes. "You're doing a LOT better than I expected. A LOT." She pulls out another whip, this time in her left hand.

Luna closes her eyes and teleports backward. {- Phase 2. -}

Spider disappears before the swing can land. She reappears behind Belphegor, aiming a powerful kick at her back.

Lilith circles Luna, waiting to strike.

Belphegor howls in pain, getting knocked to the ground. Her other wing crumbles to dust and a large part of her back shatters, revealing the same swirling portal underneath.

...Still. Spider's kicking solid stone. So.

Spider’s wearing steelies so she's fine. She laughs and waits for Belphegor to get back up.

Luna keeps her eyes closed instead using her empowered hearing to hone in on Lilith's location. As Lilith circles, Luna sends lightning blasts from her sword to her location.

Lilith turns into smoke, making no sound.

Belphegor gets back up, struggling. More of her stone crumbles away.

Luna still stays focused, eyes closed, trying to predict where Lilith will strike.

Spider grins and aims a punch at Belphegor's face, however, the second before it lands there's a flash of green distortion as Belphegor is teleported to the cavern ceiling.

Lilith suddenly rematerializes, tackling Luna from behind and covering her face with her hands. Her fingertips are constantly producing smoke. Luna is pinned.

Belphegor flinches caught off guard. She tries to spread her wings and fly’s, but struggles due to the pain.

1.. 2... 3...

She hits the ground and bursts into stone dust, the vortex within imploding on itself and sending out a shockwave which hits Spider with the force of a truck and leaves dents within the stone walls of the pit.

Lilith's smokey form is unaffected by the shockwave, and thus Luna isn't either.

Spider is knocked backward but disappears as she falls, reappearing on her feet.

{- Crystal Wall Defense. -} Luna opens her eyes and they're purple now. She's breathing in the gas with no problem, somewhat affected by the happy and the tired, but even so, she continues to struggle to get out of Lilith's grasp.

Lilith keeps smothering her, not noticing her eyes.

"COME... ON..!! RESILIENT FFUCK. HAHAHA!"

Luna just giggles as it seems Lilith hasn't caught on. She continues to breathe in the gas, struggling, kicking, making it seem like she's in danger.

Spider is watching Luna and Lilith fight now, a wide grin on her face.

Belphegor had disappeared.

Lilith finally gets knocked off, huffing. "Should've gave a safeword."

"Probably a good idea." Luna grins as she gets back up. Her eyes are blue once more.

Lilith stands up, cracking her knuckles. "Look, want to call it? Or keep fighting til you've got me down. 'Cause far as I'm concerned, ya earned it." She sighs, rolling her shoulders with a smirk. "Not many people can resist me~" She chuckles.

"Whatever works for you. I don't want to hurt you, Lilith." Luna just has this huge smile on her face, feeling victorious.

Isaac uses Cole as a wall to lean his back on as he grumbles "Fucking no sun..."

Lilith cackles. "Too late, Lunes!" She shows off her right hand and her back, both having the fur either burnt or burnt OFF to reveal burnt fuchsia skin. "Still, good as fuck show~" She turns towards Goliath. "OI, FUCKER!" Goliath looks at her. "I forfeit."

"YESSS I GET THE BEER- Ahem" Goliath clears his throat, slightly flushed. "Ignore that."

"𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗟, 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗜𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘, 𝗙𝗢𝗟𝗞𝗦! 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗗 𝗗𝗨𝗢 𝗢𝗙 𝗚𝗔𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗕𝗬 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗠𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗦𝗦! 𝗗𝗢 𝗜 𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗘 𝗔 𝗗𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗢𝗠 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗚, 𝗛𝗠𝗠𝗠𝗠?"

He chuckles, looking to the Lilith stans.

They all seem. Boggled. In a bit of a kerfuffle, even!

But, soon enough, some of them are clapping and cheering loudly for Luna and Spider! (Mostly Luna.) While the other half of them stay silent, pouting.

Spider's fanbase is going fucking WILD though. FISTFIGHTING Cole's fanbase. and WINNING. Sometimes. Mostly not. It's hard to really tell.

The Sloth demons in the crowd are cheering for both as well.

The 3 in the arena have their vision turn to static, and then they're back on the balcony.

L1MB0 claps, giving Goliath the nod.

"𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝟱, 𝗚𝗟𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗦. 𝗬𝗢𝗨'𝗩𝗘 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗧."

"Wait what the fuck pornstar??????" Luna asks.

“That really doesn't surprise me,” Spider says.

Harmonia is thinking about Belphegor, wondering if she's alright. However, once Luna and Spider are back on the balcony she grins at them. "You guys did amazing!"

"I mean you're right, but... wow." Luna says.

Cole puts his arm around Isaac and pulls him close, trying to provide some warmth. “Good job out there.”

"That was fun as fuck. Definitely couldn't have pulled that off without Krystal." Luna says. {- zzzzz -}

Cerberus is vibrating intensely.

Spider chuckles. "God I've missed this.”

"I thought I knew that name from somewhere" Isaac mumbles.

Lilith shakes away her burns into smoke, healing. Back to her usual self. She crashes onto the couch. "Feel free to take a seat, you two."

Orpheus grabs Cerberus and shakes him. "ISN'T IT OUR TURN NOW????"

Harmonia grins. "Go dog boys go!"

Melody walks up to Lilith. "Whats a pornstar?"

He stares at Orpheus, starting to smother him. "𝒴 ℰᴀ𝙰Η𝕳𝐻Н𝙃ᕼ"

Luna does exactly that and takes a seat on the couch.

Lilith chuckles, blowing smoke into the air. Melody's head gets a pet.

"Not something a... 'Good Christian Girl' like yourself should bother yourself with, Sweetheart. Just enjoy the fights."

Lilith whistles. A crow drops off a pack of wine coolers. Lilith takes one and offers it to Luna.

"Want a drink? Won't be fighting anymore for today, that's for sure."

"YEAHHHHH!!!!!!" Orpheus yells.

"Hell yeah." Luna takes one of the wine coolers and drinks it.

Satan gives an ear-piercing whistle directed at Cole (as in it's a frequency only Cole can hear. Don't ask how it works. It's a skill.)

It's. Strawberry :)

Lilith takes one and drinks it as well.

Cole's ears perk up and he runs over to the railing.

"Yay strawberry,” Luna says.

"Okie" Melody grins, leaning into the pets and making puppy dog eyes for more when she stops.

Satan makes a gesture for Cole to come over and then makes a wing flapping motion.

Melody gets more pets then!

Cerberus's tail is aggressively wagging. "ꓰ𝔛Ϲ𝜤𝞽𝘌𝕺???" "𝒫𝙐𝘔𝖯𝘌𝕯????"

Melody is purring loudly.

Cole gets a running start as his bone wings unfurl and he runs towards the railing and jumps off of the railing. He flaps his wings as he flies over to Satan and lands.

The bearded vulture watches still chewing on random bones

Apollo eyes the vulture in jealousy.

Claire and Asphodel are watching "Kids Find TREASURE In ARCADE, What Happens Next Is Shocking" and making commentary about it.

"I'M GOING TO TEAR THOSE FUCKERS TO SHREDS!!!!!" Orpheus screams.

Satan grabs Cole firmly and lifts him up to eye level. "Ｓｏｎ． Ｃｏｌｅ． Ｉｓ Ｈｅ ａｎｏｔｈｅｒ Ｅｎｇｌｉｓｈ Ａｎｄ／Ｏｒ Ａｒｔｓ Ｍａｊｏｒ．"

Isaac is watching from a distance while sitting.

Cerberus CACKLES, petting Orpheus aggressively (and softly).

Cole's tail wags slowly. “No, he's just really cute and Chris was okay with it and oh my goodness he is ripped."

"．．．”

“Ｈｅ ｉｓ Ｒｉｐｐｅｄ． Ｓｔｒｏｎｇ？ Ｈｍｍ．．． Ａ ｃｒｏｃｏｄｉｌｅ ａｓ ｗｅｌｌ．"

"Ｈｍｍｍ．．．"

"Ｉ ａｐｐｒｏｖｅ． Ｓｏｎ． Ｈｅ ｗｏｕｌｄ ｆｉｔ ｒｉｇｈｔ ｉｎ ｄｏｗｎ ｈｅｒｅ ｉｎ Ｗｒａｔｈ．"

“Thank you! And he really likes sweets so I was thinking that after the fight I could have some Wrath sweets? If those exist?" Cole asks.

"Ｄｏｅｓ Ｈｅ ｌｉｋｅ ｂｌｏｏｄ． Ｓｏｎ？ Ｈｍｍ．．． Ｗｅ ｈａｖｅ Ｍｅａｔ Ｓｗｅｅｔｒｏｌｌｓ． Ｔｈｅｙ ａｒｅ ｓａｖｏｒｙ． Ａｎｄ Ｓｗｅｅｔ． Ｗｉｔｈ Ｂｌｏｏｄ Ｃｒｅａｍ．"

The vulture looks over and drools.

"Ooooooo, I think he might like them! if he doesn't I could always eat them!" Cole exclaims.

Satan pulls a box (24) of them out of his neck fluff and places them in Cole's hand before throwing him like a javelin across the cavern (landing safely on Cerberus's Fluff).

The vulture stares at the box, drooling.

Cerberus stares as Cole lands. "Үoᴜ 𝒈ⲟ𝚗𝑛α 𝙨𝐡𝓪ⲅ𝙚??"

“Weee! Hi Cerb, you want a few?" Cole's tail is going insane.

Satan throws the vulture a few.

"ᕼꭼᒪ𝔏 Ꭹ⋿𝛢ʜ𐋏𝚮ΗⲎ" Cerberus exclaims.

The vulture grabs them and holds them close while eating them.

Cole tosses Cerberus three of them and walks over to Isaac with the container.

“Didn't know you could fly," Isaac says.

"Yeah, I was gonna mention that after this but eh better now than never.” Cole replies.

Cerberus and Orpheus are picked up.

"Fight time."

Cerberus fucking eats them in one bite, before being picked up with a grin. "𝞤𝙴𝙰ℌ𝞖𝙃ℋ𝕳ꓧ!!!!"

Luna opens her phone and starts designing a new dress for the next fight.

"YEAHHH!!!" Orpheus and Cerberus are placed in the arena.

Goliath clears his throat.

'𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝟯! 𝗟𝗘𝗧'𝗦 𝗚𝗢!"

Roe, a 7' tall lankyass wrath demon with huge ram horns that curl around his torn up, scarred ears, a cracked and VERY damaged skull face, and exhausted-looking eyesockets (red pupils) hops into the arena. He wears a black robe, wields a carved sacrificial knife, and has bandages on his arms and legs.

"This is going to suck."

DELTA, on the other hand, is a 9' tall HUNK! His skull face is painted a vibrant green, which matches the colors of his eyes. Both of his horns are irreparably broken and he has two sets of ears. His fur is very messy and matted, and he's missing some clumps of fur, showing grey skin underneath. His claws are sharpened and his teeth are deadly. He wears a sleeveless leather jacket (which shows the symbol for the Greek letter Delta carved into his flesh repeatedly, both uppercase and lowercase) over NO shirt he's SHIRTLESS and casual ripped jeans. No weapon.

"CERBERUSSSSS!!! YEAHHHH!!!" He lands on his hands and knees but quickly gets up and hurries over, hugging the FUCK outta the big guy with heavy tail wags.

"DUDEE IT'S BEEN FUCKING YEARSSS!!!!" Del looks up at Cerberus with a grin, patting his chest. "How have you been?? WHERE have you been!!!"

Goliath sighs, chuckling. "Ohh my god."

Roe groans, slamming the handle of his knife against his skull. "Ishould'vefuckinexpectedthis."

Isaac stares at Delta. After a moment he looks directly at the container Cole is holding. "Blood?"

“Yeah, it has some blood in it.” Cole nods.

Cerberus has a wide grin on his face, ears flicking as he watched the two land. He eagerly accepts the hug from Del, giving a big pat on his head, tail wagging considerably as well.

"ℋ𝔈ʜ𝘌𐋏 𝜨Ι𝐂ꓰ Ꭲ𝛔 𝗦𝗘ᴇ 𝒀𝛐Ｕ ꓔ𝑊𝗢 𝐀𝓢 𝘞𐊆𝑳Ｌ." Cerberus pauses. "ϒᴑ𝐔 Ｃ𝒜𝐍 Ꮥ𝐴𝞤... 𝔗'𝓥𝙴 𝕭𐊆ꓰ𝙽 𝖡𝗨ՏУ."

"HELL YEAH!!! Busy EATING people, HUH??" Delta punches Cerberus in the chest jokingly.

Orpheus chuckles. "I'm gonna go kill this other bitch while you two talk byeee." Orpheus jogs, then runs, then DASHES towards Roe and PUNCHES HIM DIRECTLY IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

"WAJHGC??" Roe falls over onto his front.

Eurydice cackles, tail wagging as they stomp on Roe's back.

Cerberus’s tail thumps against the ground with a snicker. "𝛨⋿𝝜𝐸𝙷, Ꭱ𝛪𝔊ꓧⲦ 𝝾𝜨 𝓣ʜ𝐸 ꓟ൦𝒩𝐸𝗬~" He watches Orpheus, amused "Η𝚨Ｖ𝖤 𝙰Τ '𝜠𝔐!" Then faces Delta once more "Ꮍσ𝚄 ℝ𝖤𝝖𝘿𝐘?"

"YEAHH!!!" Delta takes a few steps back.

Eurydice is STOMPING.

The left head chimes in "GET 'EM, BABE~!!!" He takes a step back as well, giving a chuckle as he cracks each neck. "ԍ𝚶 𝚨𝑯𝚬𝑨𝕯, 𝖦𐊆𝛕 𝞃𝙃𝛦 𝐅ﺎℜꓢ𝑇 𝞛𝑶ᐯ𝞔."

Eurydice is stabbed in the leg, causing them to fall over.

Roe gets up, snarls and kicks them in the stomach.

"Aww~ Thanks, Cerb!" Delta runs at Cerb, making it seem like he's going in for a punch, but instead rolls between his legs and YANKS ON HIS FUCKING TAIL.

He'd seem as if he was going to brace for his punch, but easily had been taken aback by the roll. The yank gets a yap out of him, making him step forwards and try to swat him off of it, with his tail.

Isaac gasps at the tail yank.

Delta dodges the tail swats and begins to scale Cerberus’s back.

Eurydice bites Roe's leg and yanks him over, pulling the knife out of his leg and using it to stab Roe repeatedly. It's entirely bloodless, aside from Eurydice's.

Cerberus tries and fails to reach him with his arms, damn muscles, but the right head turns back a bit to try and snap its jaws at Delta if he's close.

He is BITTEN. "ACK.??"

Roe is kinda just a pincushion at this point.

The head that has Delta in his jaws seems to grin, before immediately flicking him into the air.

"WAUUUUUGHHHH!!!!" He's FLUNG INTO THE AIR.

Cerberus grins at the fact, and in a classical move, starts to open the main head's jaws underneath him. But as soon as he actually gets close, the jaws snap shut and he instead tries to spike him into the ground like a volleyball.

Delta leaves a crater. "Ouguuhht thag was s o cooll but all my bones are sh a t t e r e d d d."

Cerberus stands, triumphant as he dusts his paws off. "𝗡𝖮𝚃𝕳𝕀𝛮' 𝐴 𝑭𝛦𝑾 𝛲𝙸𝙉ꓔᏕ σ𐊥 ᗷ𐑃〇０Ⅾ 𝙒𐐬𝚴'𝐓 𝔉￨𝐗."

"sso t rue, bestie.. so tru e ..." Del sheds a tear.

Eurydice is going a bit stab happy.

Goliath picks Eurydice up.

"AS EVERYONE EXPECTED. CERBERUS AND ORPHEUS ARE THE WINNERS! WOOHOO!"

The 4 of them have their visions turn to static, and they reappear where they were before.

"Now, I know you all are just EAGER for more! But, unfortunately... This is where we'll have to end the show for today."

"SEE YOU ALL FOR TOMORROW, FOLKS! ROUND 1: PART 2!"

The crowd is loudly howling and whistling and cheering. Mostly for Cerberus, but Luna, Spider, and Harmonia DEFINITELY hear their names. Especially Luna and Spider. They've got a lot more new fans from today.

Goliath yawns, looking over towards everyone on the balcony. "Watching y'all go at it is fuckin exhausting, haha."

Luna has a wide grin on her face, her tail dancing wildly and trying to slowly shape itself into a heart.

Harmonia perks up. "Imagine what it's like doing it." She laughs.

Cerberus is fucking giddy, his tail thumping against the ground at a fast pace. Orpheus gets his head petted.

Cole is sleeping on Isaac's shoulder with the blood-sweet rolls in hand.

Goliath chuckles. "I haven't fought someone in like. A couple thousand years. Bit tough to when your ass is stuck under a goddamn mountain!"

Orpheus is also so giddy! They hug Cerberus. "That was FUN!! he didn't bleed I'm so. disappointed BUT IT WAS FUN"

Spider's face remains emotionless but her tail wags slowly as she hears her name in the crowd.

Isaac gently shakes Cole some. "Rise and shine demon mutt."

Cole groans softly and mutters. “Five more minuuutes-”

"Welp. Sleebydoggoboi." Luna says.

Cerberus hugs them back. "𝔊𝘓𝐴Ⅾ 𝝩Ο ℋ𐊆𝞐ᚱ ꓬ𝛢 Ｈ𝓐𝕺 𝗙𝖀𝙽~"

"Come on, we can sleep when you get home." Isaac attempts to pick him up and stand.

Lilith is fucking sleeping on the couch.

The Cole stans OBSERVE.

Harmonia walks over and looks at Goliath "What if I painted your nails?"

Melody goes to Cerberus and does puppy dog eyes.

Melody ALSO gets pet.

Cole is partially awake and lets himself get picked up as he mutters

"isaac, tell the stans that your a buff twink or something they look they wanna kill you-”

"Harmonia this is like the 5th time you've asked oh my god. Get me like a barrel of paint or something at this point." Goliath says.

"WELL, IT’S AN IMPORTANT QUESTION AND I KEEP FORGETTING I ASKED." Harmonia huffs, crossing her arms. "I would but I can't summon shit.”

"I don't wanna admit thaaattt" Isaac grumbles quietly.

Melody purrs and pets Cerberus.

Luna pulls a pad of paper from her storage and writes a note for Lilith.

‘Hey Lilith, just wanted to say thank you for the fun fight, and um, I'm definitely interested in that fashion show idea you had back then. Ain't the last you'll see of me UwU. We'll keep in touch

~Luna’

(oh and there's a crude drawing of a cat doing a heckin ^_^).

She leaves the note right next to Lilith.

"How is that an important question?" Spider asks Harmonia with a chuckle.

"Because I want him to have hot pink nails,” Harmonia replies.

There's a loud voice from outside as if projected through a large microphone. It's... familiar.

"GET ALL YA FANCY SCHMANCY KISS MERCH ON YOUR WAY OUT! WE'VE GOT STUFF FOR ALL THE PARTICIPANTS! ONLY HERE, ONLY ME! IT'S WORTH ALL THE MONEY!"

The door they used to enter is now there again.

“Trust meeee, they'll fuckin love you.” Cole sleepily clings to Isaac.

"Ugghhh fine...just cover your ears, I’m loud.”

"I'll be fine,” Cole says.

“Wait, merchandise?” Knight asks.

"Wait, there's Luna merch now???" Luna asks.

“Cause that's just our luck,” Spider says.

Isaac turns to face them before yelling; "𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐅𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐓 𝐔𝐒 𝐈𝐌 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐅𝐔𝐂𝐊 𝐎𝐅𝐅" Isaac's voice is fucking loud when yelling, his snout might aswell be a megaphone.

"I kinda want my own merch,” Harmonia says.

“Does no one else find that creepy?" Spider asks.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-” Luna turns down his volume but holy fuck her ears are ringing. "Isaac, what the hell?”

“Go Isaac, woooooo.” Cole sleepily giggles.

Spider’s hands fly straight up to her ears the second Isaac opens his mouth, she also turns and snarls at him after he's finished shouting.

"Just sucks that we don't get a cut of the profits. SMH." Luna sighs.

The Cole Stans begin violence.

"𝑺𝑻𝑶𝑷 𝑯𝑼𝑹𝑻𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑬𝑨𝑪𝑯𝑶𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑹 𝑰𝑻𝑺 𝑹𝑼𝑫𝑬𝑬" Isaac yells.

They stop.

“Thank you." Isaac rolls his eyes.

Cole places a paw on Isaac's snout. "Nooooo it's fuunnnyyyy-”

Luna just glares at Isaac. Holy fuck.

"Isaac I swear to god if you don't stop shouting..." Spider says.

"Yeah? Do you want any left at the end of the day?" Isaac asks.

"Mmmmm, fair pooiiint…” Cole replies.

"And Spider, I will yell into your eardrums and melt your brain,” Isaac says to her.

“Do it, see what happens.” Spider glares at him.

“Can we just go fuckin hooome?” Cole groans.

“Home would be nice,” Knight says.

Isaac looks at Spider and does a curtsy the best he can without dropping Cole but with a lot of sass.

"I could definitely use a catnap. Home sounds great." Luna does one of those big cat yawns.

Luna looks over. "Ah, there's the door home." She's walking towards it and in. (edited)

Spider growls at Isaac, still giving him a death glare.

Cole groans and puts two fingers in his mouth and whistles as he yells. "STOP YA PRICKS LET’S GO THE FUCK HOME-”

Satan cackles from afar at Cole's old man behavior.

Cerberus waves at Satan before he triumphantly starts to leave with Orpheus and Melody

"Let's go before they start killing each other again." Isaac leaves.

After everyone’s left, only Harmonia remains. She takes another look at Goliath. "I wonder what your ass looks like." Then she leaves.

"So fat that God had to lock it away, shaking my head,” Goliath replies.
