To Begin Again Chapter 1: The Arrival

Hades lies in ruin.

The destruction and desolation is everywhere as far as the eyes can see, be them demon, angel, or human. Souls of the damned run free with no restriction, causing mayhem and havoc wherever they go. The destruction of this fear energy gathering Netherworld lies in a dark secret that has long since been covered by years of war and immolation.

A traitor.

Within the Hades Party there was a traitor in their midst that caused the world to become like this. He or she caused a great evil being of destruction to be unleashed, one that reduced Hades to waste. The remaining members of the Hades Party fought valiantly to fight off this new threat but had unfortunately died leaving behind only their memories and their children.

And it is these same children who seek to stop this from happening.

"Are you almost done with that portal Emilly?" asked a blonde girl.

Emilly, the girl in question nodded her head. She is the daughter of former President Emizel and the Final Boss Desco. Her blonde hair stood the brightest out of the blondes in the group. The youngest of the group, the others feared for her safety the most even though she has proved time and again that she is a more than capable fighter. She wore a purple hoodie that had gold trimming around the sides with black shorts and skull decorated shoes. The hood of her hoodie was pointed downwards with a red flame burning at the end, how it didn't burn her hoodie off was beyond anyone's imagination. "Yeah it's almost ready Axilia. Are Anabel and the guys ready yet?"

"Yep, all we need is for them to get here." Axilia said as she strummed her bass guitar in boredom. She is the daughter of the great superstar Axel, one can tell she is his daughter by the famous Axel family eyebrows that she sports. Her brown hair is reminiscent of her late mother Fuka. She wears a white jacket that her dad gave her for her fifteenth birthday before he died with a black undershirt along with blue long jeans that has a black stripe running through it paired with tennis shoes. "Honestly, and they say we take forever with preparation."

"Hey!" The two girls looked to see two boys and a girl running towards them. The girl's name was Anabel, daughter of the two great heroes of Veldime Adell and Rozalin. She sports her dad's blazing red hair in the style of a ponytail with the soft, delicate facial features of her mother including her red eyes. She wears a plain red shirt with black baggy pants reminiscent of her father along with the gold engagement necklace he had given to Rozalin along with red shoes. Another thing she had inherited was her mother's bust size much to Axilia's jealousy. She had to wrap bandages around them because she hated it when the two guys would stare at them so openly with blank looks on their faces.

The blonde haired boy is called Raharl. As his name implies, he is the son to one of the most powerful Overlord's to ever exist, King Laharl. His mother was the Fallen Angel Flonne who Laharl had fallen in love with during their journey together. He has the antenna of his father along with his unique bracelets he uses to summon meteors with, however in the back his hair is a bit longer than Laharl's. His blue scarf was knitted for him by his mother and bore a great resemblance to Laharl's own blood red scarf. Unlike his father however, Raharl wore a shirt, a blue sleeveless shirt with black and gold trim on it with coattails. His black pants that shared the same trim design as his shirt and the blue shoes he wore tied the outfit together.

The black haired boy, and the eldest of the group, is called Alucard. His father Valvatorez had named him after his great grandfather's alias. He had his father's Tyrant hairstyle with his mother's deep soulful blue eyes. His outfit was very Arcadian with his vampire roots with a black cape with a red underside, a white dress shirt with bowtie with a ruby embroidered in the middle, complements of Artina with black dress pants and shoes. He is the most level headed out of the group, but has his mother sharp tongue when angered.

"Glad to see you guys showed up." Axilia remarked dryly as she strapped her bass guitar on her back. "Now are you guys ready to go? Because once we leave, there is no going back until the job is done."

Anabel punched her fist into her other open palm. "Hell yeah! I'm gonna make this bastard pay for killing daddy and mommy!"

"I agree." Alucard said as he walked up next to Anabel. "This scoundrel must be made to pay for his or her crimes."

"There is no way I'm going to let this happen." Raharl said with a dark look on his face. "He did this to his future; he did this to our past. There will be blood to pay!"

Axilia smiled at her friends/family. "Alright then, whenever you're ready Emilly."

"Right!" Concentrating, Emilly recalled the ancient text of forbidden magic taught to her by her grandfather. Speaking the runic words, a light blue portal opened. Inside the portal, they could see the past Hades that was untouched by the ruins of the future. One by one, they walked through the portal until Emilly was the only one left. Abandoning her hold over the spell, Emilly quickly jumped through the portal before it snapped shut behind her.

Hopefully this was to be the last time they were greeted by this destroyed future.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ahhhh! *Slam* Ouch…" Axilia rubbed her butt painfully from her landing. Apparently the bird's eye view of Hades from the portal was quite literal when they jumped through it. "Wait… That means-!" The realization hit Axilia too late as the others landed on top of her one by one. When she thought that it was over, one last girly yell was heard as Emilly dropped on the pile of kids.

Having enough of this, Axilia burst from her imprisonment sending the others unceremoniously on the floor around her. "What the hell Emilly? Why didn't you tell us about the fall?"

"Well excuse me! Sorry I didn't tell you anything about an arcane spell I had only used this one time!" she yelled back at her cousin.

The two girls glared at each other before being pulled apart by Alucard. "While it is nice you guys are riled up and ready to go, how about you save that energy for the traitor?"

"*Sigh* Whatever. Let's just look for our first suspect." Axilia said as she dusted her jacket off.

Anabel walked up to her with a look of excitement on her face at the thought of battle. "So who is our first target?"

'She really is her father's daughter…" Raharl thought before speaking. "Our first suspect is Valvatorez."

Alucard raised a suspicious eyebrow. "And why is my father our first suspect?"

"It makes sense Alucard." Emilly said. "I mean, who else would have the sort of power to destroy Hades and our parents?"

Alucard wanted to argue, but he knew he couldn't. Out of all of the Hades Party, Valvatorez was the strongest, that was undeniable. "Fine let's go find him."

Everyone nodded as they went to look for the sardine loving Prinny Instructor. They had to look far and low for him before they finally tracked him down.

At the fish market.

"I guess the saying really is true." Raharl said as he drew his sword. "It's always the most obvious places you never look for first. You guys ready?"

The others, weapons drawn, nodded their heads. If they were right about Valvatorez being the traitor then his whole mess would be done with.

Valvatorez however was blissfully unaware of the impending threat near him. He was giddy with joy at being the first in line to buy the freshly caught sardines. Although the only other demons to eat sardines were only Prinnies and Slumber Cats, he always loved to be the first to sink his fangs into a fresh sardine straight off the boat.

"You!" A voice yelled at him. Valvatorez turned around to see five teenage demons looking at him with their weapons drawn. As he looked at them, he found their clothes to be familiar somehow but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Are you here for the sardines?" Valvatorez asked the teens.

"Sardines!? Where!?" The oldest of the bunch said with an excited look on his face.

The red haired girl slapped him on the back of the head. "Concentrate fish head! We need to do this now!"

"Hmm? Do what now?" Valvatorez asked, finding their behavior to be suspicious. Why would they be here if they weren't looking for fish? Unless… "You're here to attack the fishermen who catch these wonderful fish aren't you!?"

"W-What!?" the youngest of the group said. "You can't be serious!?"

Valvatorez nodded his head. "It all makes sense now; this must be a test Fenrich put up for me. He thinks I've been getting weaker with eating all these sardines so he is trying to cut them out from my diet. Very clever Fenrich, but it will take more than a group of teens to separate me from my favorite meal!" Valvatorez said as he drew his sword. "Prepare yourselves for you face the power that sardines have given me!"

The group gave a collective sigh of exasperation mixed with slight amusement. Alucard's dad was the same as he always was. "Very well then!" Alucard said as they brandished their weapons in defense. "Have at you!" The group of time travelers charged at the legendary vampire tyrant Valvatorez with deafening battle cries.

'This should prove to be a challenge.' Valvatorez thought as he ran towards the group.
