With the overwhelming feeling of being plunged into the coldest of arctic waters, [The Kiss] appears in the halls of Beelzebub's Keep.

The hall is lit by bright red flames. The torches along the stone walls of the gothic castle sharply contrast with the unbearably low temperature just seconds beforehand. Underneath them is a carpet, intricately embroidered but stained with various kinds of blood. Up ahead is a large, wooden double door, slightly ajar.

Cole looks around and shrugs. “Gayass fucking hallway.”

Knight aims his grenade launcher at the door with a mischievous grin, walking towards it.

Spider groans. "Fuck.. that was brutal"

Cole walks with Knight, dragging his Halo sword behind him.

Kade keeps himself steady and takes a look around, huffing. "Classy."

"Ugh,” Luna says.

Thrall follows, eating the card (for safekeeping). "No point in keeping him waiting."

There is an ever-present and putrid scent of death hanging in the air.

Spider and Luna follow the others.

Knight stops and then shoots at the double wooden doors three times, aiming to blow them to smithereens.

As the door is blown to smithereens, Beelzebub stares in disgust.

The room is dark. Beelzebub is situated in a pit near the wall adjacent to the door.

In the center of the room, there's a large pool filled with glowing orange juice. Floating in the pool are herbs, spices, fruits, and a crucified Harmonia.

She is floating in the pool, nailed to a stone cross. There are 4 nails, between the bones of her wrist and in each of her feet. She seems to be endlessly bleeding black soul gunk. There is a 5th gash, large but healed as if it killed her, on the right side of her stomach.

Thrall walks over to Beelzebub. "Former Prince."

He scoffs, raising his hand to slam down upon the group. "𝐦Ꭵˢ𝐭𝕒𝕂Ẹ. "

Harmonia tilts her head up to see them, smiling. "You guys came-"

Cole rolls out of the way and over to Harmonia, holstering his energy sword. Once he gets to her he starts removing the nails with his bare hands.

Harmonia screams in pain as she’s pulled off the cross, tearing up.

“KNOCK KNOCK MOTHER FUCKER- oh shit” Knight dodges out of the way and starts firing Egg Grenades at Beelzebub.

Kade moves out of the way as well and sticks to the side, taking a glance at Harm. "Howdy, Harm! Are you alright? Other than the... You know."

Spider attempts to move over to Harmonia while keeping an eye on Beelzebub.

The grenade hits, blowing a fuckin chunk out of Beelzebub's face. It immediately starts to melt, all eyes on the left side of his face going dark. His gnarled maw opens wide as he gives a growl.

He slams his hand down on Thrall.

Harmonia's wounds close immediately, pain fading.

Thrall slices a large gash through Beelzebub's hand before it could crush him, causing the prince to recoil in pain.

Knight shoots a couple more grenades at Beelzebub, making sure to keep moving.

Harmonia pants, leaning on Cole. She's dripping orange juice and blood. She looks to Kade. "I-I'm fine... more or less..." She looks at the new death marks and sighs.

Luna moves towards Harmonia. "Glad to see you're okay."

Cole snaps and the blood and orange juice disappear. "Sorry we took so long.”

Beelzebub slaps the grenades away, causing them to explode against the wall. It cracks as the castle shakes.

The blindfolded, robe-wearing Boar sitting near the pool with the buckets of food seems very confused and disoriented at the events at hand, snorting and sniffing the air with a small bit of panic.

Knight continues shooting the grenades.

Harmonia sighs, messing with her arms. "It's fine-" She seems to be getting used to movement again.

Ari runs at Beezlebub’s hand, trying to hit it with their bat.

Luna clicks the app on her phone and transforms into her magical girl form. She then imbues her throwing knives with fire and launches a couple at Beezlebub's face! "Take that!"

"You good to stand, Harmonia?" Cole asks, looking to her.

Beelzebub grabs the grenades in midair. They are melted before they can explode.

Arimidex would have to jump and their bat sinks into the melting mass of Beelzebub's hand, keeping them midair.

All of Luna's knives hit, igniting the tar-like substance leaking from his face.

Thrall, without hesitation, jumps right into Beelzebub's gaping maw. He seems to know exactly what he has to do, plunging his sword downward.

"I can try-" Harmonia attempts to stand. It's shaky but she can stand and she starts to walk out of the pool.

The pool is sloshy.

“Do you want me to just take you out of the pool? That looks so fucking gross." Cole asks.

"Please.” Harmonia says.

“I think Thrall has got this handled.” Knight heads over to the group.

Cole picks Harmonia up and takes them out of the orange juice spice mixture.

"Indeed," Luna says.

Harmonia just leans on him. "I've eaten so much fucking KFC..."

"KFC?" Luna asks.

"Yes.” Harmonia responds.

"I heard." Kade says.

“Didn’t know they had that here,” Knight says.

"You can put me with Kade and the others so you can fight," Harmonia tells Cole.

Ari tries to free the bat

"Nah, Thrall has it handled.” Cole says.

"I hope so anyway," Luna says.

“Hopefully.” Says Cole.

Beelzebub keeps the non-exploded side of their face protected, and growls. He takes his free, undamaged hand and goes to slam it on the group with enough force to crush a goddamn house to dust.

Ari falls to the ground.

Thankfully, there's a perfectly timed entrance.

A large mass of green and black flashing pixels blocked Beelzebub's hand, smacking it away.

“Oh.” Knight says.

"Thanks, Apollo." Cole says.

It hits Beelzebub back right in his face, causing him to fall backward and crush the back wall of the room.

Ari moves away and smiles at his boyfriend's appearance. "GO QUIRKED UP WHITE BOY GO!"

“Looks like Apollo and Thrall have got this covered, let’s start heading to somewhere safer.” Knight says.

"Hey, Apollo." Luna says.

“Agreed.” Cole responds.

"Yes, I agree." Luna says.

“Hm.” Says Spider.

Harmonia cheers, feeling a burst of energy as she gets up. "Cole give me the cool sword."

Oh damn yeah that works. His skull is crushed into a melting mush, but he seems to be alive.

But, y'know... Growing to a form the size of Beelzebub? That causes the castle to crumble underneath them. [The Kiss] begins to fall 200 stories towards the ground.

"Oh.” Cole says as he falls.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” Harmonia screams.

"Why are you screaming?" Cole asks.

“Why.” Knight says.

"DAMN YOU, HINDSIGHT!!!!!!" Apollo yells.

"A-" Says Luna.

"WE’RE FALLING TO OUR FUCKING DEATHS!” Harmonia yells.

“Yeah.” Says Knight.

“No, we won't.” Cole says.

Luna just puts her headphones on and jams out to music.

“True, only some of us will die.” Knight says.

"Eh, this isn't the first time I've fallen." Luna says.

Pixels begin to form underneath them, attempting to soften their landing.

"But that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make- oh goddamn it Apollo.” Cole says.

"Nice. Thanks Apollo!" Luna exclaims.

Spider sighs. "Fuck you, Cole.”

“Cool.” Knight says.

"I wanted to do a superhero landing.” Cole pouts.

"FUCK YOU TOO, GENESONE!" Apollo replies.

"I'm doing it, Cole." Luna says.

“Doing what?" Cole asks.

"The superhero landing!" Luna says.

"Oh thank god thanks, Apollo..." Harmonia sighs as she’s caught.

“Your bones will shatter.” Cole says.

“I’m not, it hurts the knees a lot.” Knight says.

"Uhhhh okay, nevermind." Luna says.

"I don't care about my knees.” Cole says.

There are large amounts of demons falling as the castle crumbles around them.

"Christ, you fuckers have no hindsight." Says Beezlebub.

The falling of the castle is put into stasis, forming large junks of floating stone.

The sky flickers to static and there's the constant drone of white noise in the air.

Thankfully, Apollo's pixels allow them all to fall on separate chunks of the castle without breaking any bones.

"Thank Christ.” Says Spider.

“Sweet.” Knight says.

"Awesome!" Luna says.

Beelzebub falls to the ground, though, crushing the castle beneath him.

His head is mush.

Harmonia gets up. "Cole, give me your cool sword"

The castle as in the lower stories. Everyone else is fine.

"TAKE THAT, FATASS!" Apollo yells at Beelzebub's corpse.

Cole lands in the ‘you know we had to do it to them’ pose and throws Harmonia the Halo energy sword. "Hold it like in the game and you won't cut yourself.”

“So I highly doubt he's dead.” Spider looks down at Beelzebub.

“He will be in 3.” Cole says.

Kade seems more or less unaffected by the happenings but seems to be eyeing the body below. “Do you think I can tear off a limb?"

"2?" Luna says.

"1." Harmonia holds the sword right and turns it on. She looks down, grinning. Harmonia jumps down to cut open Beezlebubs corpse, the sword becoming super fucking big. Like at least twice her size.

The moment it hits the corpse, the body quite literally melts entirely into sludge in an instant.

“Damn.” Knight says.

“Soup.” Says Cole.

“So now we need the soul.” Says Spider.

The sword goes back to its normal size as Apollo catches Harmonia in his giant fucking hands.

"Thanks.” She smiles up at him.

A glowing, green smile forms out of pixels on his head.

"Bllghh.. 乇匚匚ҜҜ..." Thrall bursts out from underneath the sludge, holding a glob of pulsating black slime the size of a bolder in his hands. "ㄒ卄丨丂 丂ㄩ匚Ҝ丂." He is drenched.

Apollo looks over to Thrall. "The fuck happened to you?"

"Are you supposed to eat that??!?!" Harmonia asks.

“Eat the soul, no balls.” Cole says.

"We need it so don't.” Spider says.

“Seriously.” Says Luna.

Apollo sat Harmonia down with the others. "If Harmonia didn't need it, I'd say go for it, but she kinda does, sooo..."

"丨 山卂丂 乇乂卩乇匚ㄒ丨几Ꮆ 丨ㄒ ㄒㄖ 乃乇 爪ㄖ尺乇 爪卂几卂Ꮆ乇卂乃ㄥ乇, ㄒㄖ 乃乇 千尺卂几Ҝ." Thrall drops the boulder of a soul to the floor, staring at it.

"Isn't only a chunk needed?" Kade asks.

“Yeah." Says Knight.

"We just need a soul shard.” Cole says.

Harmonia just gets up, stretching. “I've been fucking nailed to a cross for 4 days, I'm so sore.”

“Can you even cut that thing?” Spider asks. “Like without destroying the entire thing.”

"How do you feel, being stronger than Jesus?" Kade asks Harmonia.

Thrall huffs and plunges his claws deep towards the very center, where there's a pulsating red glow.

"How the fuck did you live through a four-day-long crucifixion?" Apollo asks.

"Feelin' great.” Harmonia looks to Apollo. "At some point I stopped bleeding blood and like, soul gunk came out instead? It's weird... I don't really know. Plus I was laying down so I could breathe.”

“God.” Cole says.

"Well... what matters is you're not dead and that we're bringing you home." Luna says.

“Mhm.” Cole agrees.

Spider sighs. "Well, I'm glad you're ok, Harm.”

"I gotta kick your ass for what you said to Drew.” Harmonia says to her.

“Oh boy.” Cole says.

Thrall grabs the outside of the soul with his left hand and takes a big fuckin chomp of it. Like a solid 1/5th of it. Then, he yanks the glow out. The glow reforms into a bright red shard within Thrall's hand. He swallows the chunk of soul he bit out and holds out the shard to the member of The Kiss that's nearest to him.

Harmonia takes the shard. "Thanks."

“Nice.” Says Knight.

"Ayyy there's the Gluttony Shard.” Luna says. "Alright, sooooo how do we leave now?"

"So Harmonia, how would you feel about being a jester for the overseers?" Cole asks

"Please don't tell me we're doing that now?" Spider says.

"We're moving a little quick here-" Kade says.

“Later.” Cole says.

"That sounds fucking hilarious, I'm in." Harmonia replies.

"Pog hair." Says Cole.

"Ew.” Spider says.

“Fuck you, it’s funny.” Cole says.

“It's really not.” Spider says.

"It's funny to me.” Cole replies.

Thrall takes a deep breath. "I should be able to send you back now, actually." He grins.

“Sweet!” Knight exclaims.

“Please.” Cole says.

"Thank you!" Luna exclaims.

"Please. Thank you for helping.” Harmonia says to Thrall.

“Cheers, Thrall.” Spider says.

"Seriously." Says Luna.

Apollo shrunk down to normal size, the pixels slowly disappearing to reveal his normal body.

"You're welcome."

Harmonia goes to Apollo and hugs him.

"You saved us. Thank you so so much." Luna bows in appreciation.

"I wanted to hit the ground like a rock.” Cole says.

"Although, first..." Thrall holds out his hand and, with a flicker of every nearby light, a key to gluttony for every member of The Kiss here (EXCEPT Apollo) appears.

“Same.” Knight says.

"I think you have a thing for pain." Says Kade.

"No, I do not.” Cole says.

Apollo hugs back. "Don't give me all the praise. Everyone else helped too." He pauses at seeing everyone receive a key except for him. "...The fuck's MY key at, moth boy?!"

“Fuck you, weather pixels.” Cole says.

“Once again, ta Thrall.” Spider pockets the key.

Harmonia takes out her Hell key ring and adds Gluttony to it. "Thank you, Thrall... I'm glad to see you again."

Knight takes a key and pockets it. “Thank you, Thrall, I wish you luck in your future endeavors.” Kade holds the key in amusement. "Nice. Thank you!"

The keys to Gluttony are iron with deep, vein-like carvings in them. "You don't get one because I doubt you'd ever use it. Unless you'd like one as a trophy, hmmm?" Thrall says to Apollo.

Thrall crouches down and gives Harmonia a hug. "...I'd like to take this moment to apologize to you."

Harmonia hugs him back, tearing up. "R-really?"

Cole puts the key in a slot in his forearm and the slot closes to conceal the key.

Luna takes the key and pockets it.

Ari doesn't even look at the key before shoving it in eir pocket, silently watching Harmonia to make sure she's ok.

"Yes, really. I was... a bit of an ass to everyone quite a few times." Thrall pauses. "I'm genuinely sorry."

A key to gluttony smacks Apollo in the face eat shit glitchyboy.

"You're absolutely fine Thrall. I appreciate you." Luna says.

Apollo walked over to Ari, hugging him. "Are you okay, sugarplu-" He gets smacked by the key mid-sentence. "Goddammit."

"I accept your apology... thank you.." Harmonia hugs Thrall tightly, a few tears falling onto him. "You'll make Gluttony an amazing layer. I can’t wait to see it."

Spider stays quiet, keeping one hand in her pocket.

Ari drops her bat and hugs Apollo, snickering. "I'm just fine handsome, that looks like it hurt though."

"I don't feel pain. I just have... errors." The Windows XP error noise plays faintly in the background.

Thrall unhugs Harmonia and then immediately catches the blindfolded pig who was falling from the sky in his arms. "Thank you, everyone." The pig writhes a bit but settles down afterward.

“Happy to help!” Knight exclaims.

"Hold on can I punch the pig? He fuckin crucified me.” Harmonia asks.

"N-" Starts the pig.

"Yes." Says Thrall.

“Honestly you should do more than that,” Spider says.

The boar snorts in defiance.

"I mean.. it was probably either to do it or die, right?" Kade asks.

"I feel merciful.” Harmonia decks the boar across the face and whispers to him. "Ever call me meat again and I will kill you."

Apollo walks over to Cole and ripped his helmet off. "Genesone."

“Don’t do that.” Knight says.

"Ppointtaken." The boar brings a hand up to cover their snout, now bleeding from the punch.

Cole is tearing up underneath the helmet. “Fuck off, put it back on.”

“Stop.” Knight says.

Spider stays quiet, just watching everything happen.

"Good!" Harmonia grins at Thrall and lightly kisses his cheek, patting his head. "Thank you again."

Thrall grins and pets her head back, standing up. "Thank you too, Harmonia. Hopefully, you'll visit soon."

“Gaaaaay-” Cole says.

"Cole do you understand how sexuality works?" Ari asks.

“Do you understand how much pain I'm in?" Cole asks.

"We'll miss ya, Thrall. Kick some ass, and make this layer amazing!!" Luna exclaims.

“A-are you okay Cole??” Knight asks.

"I will!" Harmonia says to Thrall, grinning.

"I’m fine, don't worry abouuut it.” Cole snaps and his helmet appears in his hand and he puts it on again.

“Since you said that now I’m gonna worry about it.” Knight says.

"We can talk about it later" Cole says.

"This is a common trend you all do." Kade says.

“What?” Cole asks.

“How do you mean?" Spider asks.

"Not me!" Apollo exclaims.

“People not talking about how they are feeling I suppose?” Knight asks.

"Someone has an issue, says don't worry about it, someone clearly worries about it, rinse and repeat." Kade says.

“It's true." Luna says.

"I think it's kinda funny. Keep doing it. Entertain me," Apollo says.

“Well you really shouldn't worry because I'm perfectly fine, systems are at 100 percent.” Cole says.

"It's the mental illness feedback loop. Everyone worries about each other but we all think it's annoying for people to worry about us." Ari pauses. "Annoying for the people, not us."

“Bang on Ari.” Spider chuckles.

"I do not have a mental illness, I'm just built different.” Cole says.

“Same.” Knight says.

"Mhmm." Kade says.

"You're built incorrectly, Genesone." Apollo says.

"Please no." Luna says.

“Explain.” Cole stares at Apollo like the Eminem bot profile picture.

"We should probably go home now.” Harmonia laughs.

“Ya think?" Cole asks.

“Please.” Spider says.

“Please." Luna says. "I hate the stench of death."

"Jinx.” Says Spider.

"Please." Apollo says.

“Pleeb.” Cole says.

"I wasn't even trying Spider." Luna clicks the app again and returns to her normal cat self.

“Can we go home now?” Knight asks.

“Pleeeeeeeeeeeb-” Says Luna.

"I know but it still happened,” Spider says.

Thrall snaps and The Kiss are sent home in an instant.
