Thrall appears, covered in blood and black soul gunk, holding a large sword and a severed arm twice his size. He drops it on the ground. "That was quite the power trip." He swallows the sword and walks into the house, arm melting into a puddle of gunk on the ground.
Skrunkle Bonkle is still sitting on the ground somewhere.
The sky begins to burn, turning to static, as loud bells ring out in the sky. With a sound that's like a bell being shattered to pieces, a 40' tall beast made of fire appears in the front yard and sits down with a loud huff. It's... Enoch. But their form is a hell of a lot less stable than usual, practically just burning flames in the vague shape of a monster. The rings that make up their "head" is cracked and fragmented, doing the same motion as usual, but less like solid rings and more like the belts of a planet. As in. Chunks of something. They appear to be holding something close to their chest. They stare at Skrunkle Bonkle.
"Ｙｏｕ ａｒｅ 𝕤𝕔𝕣𝕒𝕨𝕟𝕪." A pile of bread is dropped on Skrunkle Bonkle. Skrunkle is terrified and despite the bread tries to get up and run, but he is stuck underneath the BREAD. Skrunkle is shaking and scared.
Luna walks out to the backyard and tries to get the... bread... off of Skrunk.
Spider appears, looking at Enoch. His flames are the exact flames she saw while in Layer 9.
Luna continues to fight through the mountain of bread, trying to get Skrunkle Bonkle out!
Spider's breathing speeds up as she shuts her eyes, bringing a hand up to her arm and digging her nails in.
"Ｗｅ＇ｖｅ ｇｏｔ ｑｕｉｔｅ ｔｈｅ 𝕚𝕤𝕤𝕦𝕖."
"Oh shut up Enoch," Luna continues trying to get to Skrunkle. Luna fucking gets in there and drags Skrunkle out of the BREAD.
"𝕊𝕙𝕦𝕥 𝕦𝕡? 𝓨𝓸𝓾'𝓻𝓮 𝓽𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓶𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓼𝓱𝓾𝓽 𝓾𝓹? Ｗｏｕｌｄ ｙｏｕ ｐｒｅｆｅｒ ｍｅ ｔｏ ｌｅｔ ａ ｍｕｔｕａｌ ｆｒｉｅｎｄ ｄｉｅ， Ｌｕｎａ？"
"No. I'd rather no one dies, thank you," Luna says. Spider's breathing picks up even more as her nails morph into claws and she digs them even deeper into her arm, drawing blood. Skrunkle stays still and is terrified. Luna picks him up and pulls him out.
"Here. Safety. No bread."
"Ⓣⓗⓔⓝ ⓓⓞⓝ'⃝ⓣ ⓣⓔⓛⓛ ⓜⓔ ⓣⓞ ⓢⓗⓤⓣ ⓤⓟ.⃝" L1MB0's battered and desecrated body is dropped onto the ground with a heavy thud. They've been through... uhh.. how you say... a rough time? Their right arm/owl wing has been completely torn off. Their tail has been mulched to shreds. Their right and left legs have been rotten to nothingness. Their entire torso has been torn wide open and completely emptied. Inside shines a barely illuminated hodgepodge of pieces of a soul. They are bleeding a variety of substances. Their tv is caved in.
"Sorry." Luna doesn't know what to do. "Also what the fuck." Skrunkle watches in pure horror. Luna asks, "Is there any way we can save L1M?"
"ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ʙᴀꜱɪᴄᴀʟʟʏ ᴀɴ ʀᴘɢ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴀɢᴏɴɪꜱᴛ. ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕕𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕗𝕖𝕖𝕝 𝕒𝕓𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕒 𝕧𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕥𝕪 𝕠𝕗 𝕚𝕟𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕝𝕪 𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖𝕕 𝕗𝕖𝕥𝕔𝕙 𝕢𝕦𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕤?"
Knight walks out to the backyard, “Cleric's here.”
"...I hate fetch quests. But sure." Luna sighs, "To save L1M, I'm willing to do whatever it takes, as long as it doesn't involve my death... Cuz I like living."
"ℍ𝕖𝕣𝕖." They snap and a list appears on L1MB0's caved in TV.
Luna takes the list of things from L1mb0's TV, "Also Knight, can you take Spider inside. She's sorta...uhhh well she saw flame and it's... not good."
“Okay.” Knight picks Spider up and heads inside. Knight walks back out. “Done.”
"Thank you. I would've liked a lycan fighter on our squad, but I don't think they're in any shape to fight..."
Cole steps out, "The swiss army knife is here!"
"So we got the jack of all trades, the healer, and the warrior. A classic JRPG trio." Luna laughs. Cole sighs and stares at L1MB0 with a disappointed look.
Luna reads the list Enoch gave them;
• Find a way to appease the Overseers and collect a mixture of their power. (Alternatively, violence.)
• Convince Lilith to not be a bitch and give up a piece of her power. (Alternatively, violence.)
• Fix Mischief's inability to create demons. (Alternatively, violence.)
• Talk to Belphegor and figure out how to get her side of this mess settled. (Alternatively, violence.)
• Fix the remnant problem. (Alternatively, violence.)
• Kill Beelzebub and harvest a chunk of his soul. (Alternatively, violence.)
• Reboot L1MB0.
“I like the second to last item,” Knight says.
"...what the hell kind of fetch quests are these Enoch???" Luna asks, confused.
"Is it violence?" Cole asks.
"These are less fetch quests and more a laundry list of mini-side quests." Luna says, "I swear we're fucking playing Skyrim hell edition right now. But fine."
"Ｙｏｕ＇ｒｅ ｌｕｃｋｙ ｔｈｅ Ｗｒａｔｈ ｆｒａｇｍｅｎｔ ｓｔａｙｅｄ ｉｎｔａｃｔ．" They reach into L1MB0's gaping chest wound and pull out the single, dimly glowing sanguine red shard of hardened soul material.
"Do we need to do these in order?" Luna asks.
"Ooooo gib gib," Cole makes grabby hands at the soul shard.
“I can do the Lilith and Beelzebub parts if that’s okay?” Knight asks.
"Yee. I can definitely handle Greed and Sloth. Not to mention, I've never met Belphegor before," Luna says, "wait, is the remnant one Greed?"

"Ah. Huh." Luna says.
Cole is still making grabby hands at the soul shard.
"Alright. Do we have a time limit for this?" Luna asks.
Enoch glares at Cole.
"𝕎𝕙𝕪?"
"Violence is funny.” Cole stares back and smiles.
...Enoch puts the soul shard back in L1MB0.
"ℕ𝕠 𝕥𝕚𝕞𝕖 𝕝𝕚𝕞𝕚𝕥. 𝕀 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕜."
Luna facepalms, but it's soft for once. She can't help but giggle.
“Ooooh, I should ask Harmonia if she wants to help with Beelzebub part.” Knight comments.
"I don't think Harmonia is even home right now," Luna says.
"Awwww, I wanted the funny violence shard,” Cole whines.
"...oh. It's even worse. I think Jack just yoinked Harmonia." Luna says, looking at her phone.
“Well fuck.” Knight sighs.
"Because... asshole, you know. Cole, would you want to do Overseers? That's Pride, I believe." Luna asks.
“Those fuckers are pricks. Especially the green one. Red ones cool though.” Knight comments.
"I'd rather not go there myself if I can help it. Not to mention, I fucking hate candles." Luna says.
Cole walks up to L1MB0 and yanks the wrath shard out and stares at L1MB0 as he eats the shard.
"Cole. Why." Luna asks in annoyance.
Enoch watches in disbelief.
"Violence.” Cole says.
“God damn it-” Knight swears.
"Why did you just add another item to our already insanely huge fucking LIST?!" Luna asks, annoyed.
NEW QUEST!
• Tea time with Satan.* (Alternatively, violence.)
“Cole is going to do the Pride and Wrath stuff now.” Knight groans.
"Yup." Luna agrees.
"Yeaaaaaah, I fucking love tea time.” Cole smiles.
"...he gets fucking rewarded." Luna sighs. Whatever.
• Tea time with Satan.* (Alternatively, violence.)
*There will be British people at the tea time
"You’re just mad that i at- god damn it.” Cole groans.
"Haha." Luna laughs.
"I hate British people except for Chris and Spider,” Cole says.
"On the bright side, violence is an option," Luna says.
“And my answer to that is yes," Cole says.
"Kill the British people." Luna says.
"Mmmmm murder…” Cole smiles.
“Now….how do I get a key for Lust?” Knight thinks aloud.
"Anyway, should we go one at a time?" Luna asks.
"I will do all of mine in like 2 days and running purely on violence and Red Bull.” Cole comments.
"Oh ok. You wanna go first then?" Luna asks. Just lemme take Greed and Sloth. And maybe Envy."
Cole snaps as a Red Bull appears in his hand and he cracks it open and guzzles it. “Let's get violent.”
"Have fun out there Cole," Luna says.
"𝕊𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕤𝕖 𝕕𝕖𝕗𝕚𝕟𝕚𝕥𝕖𝕝𝕪 𝕒𝕣𝕖𝕟'𝕥 𝕒𝕤 𝕤𝕚𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖 𝕒𝕤 𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕠𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘."
"I'm expecting the worst."
"I am going to slaughter my way through them,” Cole says.
“Well obviously. Also, Enoch is there possibly a way for me to get a key for the layer of Lust?” Knight asks.
"Also I'm gonna need one for Envy and Sloth," Luna says.
"𝔸𝕟𝕕 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕜 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕤𝕥 𝕒𝕝𝕠𝕟𝕖?" Enoch asks Cole.
"𝓕𝓸𝓻 𝓖𝓻𝓮𝓮𝓭, 𝓭𝓮𝓯𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓽𝓮𝓵𝔂 𝓽𝓪𝓴𝓮 𝓪𝓷𝓸𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻. Ｎｏｔ Ｃｏｌｅ， ｈｅ＇ｄ ｂｅ ａ ｌｉａｂｉｌｉｔｙ．"
“No, I wouldn't.” Cole protests.
"Yes, you would." Luna counters.
“I’ll join you for Greed then,” Knight says.
"I am not taking you to Greed," Luna says to Cole.
"But I’m smart-” Cole whines.
Luna turns to Knight. “Bet.” She turns back to Cole. "You're also violent."
“Mhm.” Cole agrees.
"𝕀 𝕔𝕒𝕟𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕜𝕖𝕪𝕤 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕝𝕒𝕪𝕖𝕣𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕒𝕣𝕖𝕟'𝕥 𝕞𝕪 𝕠𝕨𝕟. 𝔽𝕣𝕠𝕞 𝕨𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕀 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨, 𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕪 𝕝𝕒𝕪𝕖𝕣 𝕚𝕤 𝕔𝕦𝕣𝕣𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕝𝕪 𝕒𝕔𝕔𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕓𝕝𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦. 𝕄𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕒 𝕓𝕚𝕥 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕣𝕒𝕧𝕖𝕝 𝕨𝕙𝕚𝕝𝕖 𝕚𝕟 ℍ𝕖𝕝𝕝 𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕡𝕖𝕣, 𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙."
“Okay,” Knight says.
"I'm planning to take the pacifist route for Greed." Luna says.
"Laaame-" Cole complains.
"True pacifist has the best music," Luna says.
“How hard will the Lilith bit be?” Knight asks.
"Megalovania is mid at best," Luna says.
"You’re mid.” Cole says.
Enoch looks to Luna.
"𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕒𝕣𝕖𝕟'𝕥 𝕕𝕖𝕒𝕝𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙 𝕨𝕙𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕜 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕒𝕣𝕖. 𝕌𝕟𝕝𝕖𝕤𝕤 𝕨𝕙𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦'𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕚𝕤𝕟'𝕥 𝕨𝕙𝕠 𝕀 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕜 𝕪𝕠𝕦'𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕠𝕗. 𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕟 𝕚𝕥 𝕚𝕤."
"Wha?" Luna asks, confused.
“Oh, I get it, Mammon.” Knight says.
"I have no idea wtf you're t-- ohhh-” Luna says.
"ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕙𝕚𝕘𝕙 𝕚𝕤 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕡𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖 𝕗𝕠𝕣 𝕓𝕚𝕥𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕤, 𝕂𝕟𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥?"
“Pretty high.”
"Same." Luna agrees.
"𝕐𝕠𝕦 𝕤𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕓𝕖 𝕗𝕚𝕟𝕖, 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕟. 𝕄𝕒𝕪𝕓𝕖."
Luna regrets everything.
“Thing is, does Lilith have or do hypnosis stuff?” Knight asks.
"How soon can I start?" Cole asks.
"𝕀'𝕕 𝕣𝕖𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕕 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒 𝕞𝕚𝕣𝕣𝕠𝕣 𝕠𝕣 𝕤𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕕 𝕘𝕝𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕖𝕤. 𝔸𝕟𝕪𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕠 𝕓𝕝𝕠𝕔𝕜 𝕕𝕚𝕣𝕖𝕔𝕥 𝕖𝕪𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕖𝕪𝕖 𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕥𝕒𝕔𝕥."
"𝔸𝕟𝕕, 𝕨𝕙𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥, ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕖."
“I think I’ll be good on that front,” Knight responds.
"I am going to start now.” Cole walks back into the house, muttering about violence.
"Okay. Shall we hit up Greed then?" Luna asks Knight. "I have the key already set."
“Sure.” Knight shrugs
"Bet." Luna walks back into the house, Knight following.
The sky returns to its normal state and the bells fully stop as Enoch's form extinguishes and their rings clatter to the ground.
