Hover through the fog, and fill the earth...

AWAKEN YE HORSEMAN AND RIDE AGAIN!

The Occult Research Club was hanging around in the Clubhouse when suddenly Rias received a call from none other than the Devil King himself.

A short conversation was had, followed by a gasp and the look of fear painted on Rias's face. A look that was very unusual for her.

"What is it?" Akeno asked.

Rias responded by shaking her head slowly. "They are trying to awaken 'him'. We have to leave now to meet with Sirzechs."

Rias proceeds to open a portal and teleport them to an obscure location. Nobody really seemed to grasp who this 'Him' she had referenced was.

When the ORC landed, they were shaken by the scene before them.

There were Masses of Devils, Angels, and Fallen angels gathered around a giant stone temple. They were at the base of a giant stairway that lead up to the temple itself. Murmurs of shock and horror filled the crowd. "He can't really be in there can he? They can't let him out! He's far too dangerous to be released. What is Hades thinking?!" these were just a few of the whispers that were going around the groups around them. Sirzechs was spotted halfway up the stairs along with Lady Leviathan. They were talking with Hades who was atop the stairwell.

There were a pair of Ultimate class Grim Reapers blocking Sirzeches and Leviathan from moving any farther up the stairway. The ORC quickly noticed that just about everyone was here. All of the high-ranking individuals. Rias stood with her father. Koneko stood next to Kuroka. Issei moved next to the White Dragon Emperor Vali. Having relaxed their tensions for the time being.

These weird twisted creatures would crawl around the temple every once in a while. It was almost as if they were guarding the temple. As if a silent warning to those who entered or dared to go near.

While Sirzechs and Hades were in a standoff for a moment. Issei took this opportunity to ask Vali what was going on.

"They are trying to release 'him'." Vali said casually, but remaining just as vague as everyone else had. Issei had had just about enough of this 'him' business. He had no Idea who they were talking about.

"Who is him?" Issei asked.

"The Hell Walker..." Azazel said as he appeared behind Issei. Azazel saw the puzzled look on Issei's face and began to explain.

"Just imagine a Boogeyman for Devils and the corrupt. He is a man of incredible power. Fueled by hatred he cannot be killed. He was finally locked away in a tomb sometime during the great war." Azazel let out a soft but uncertain laugh. It was far more forced than he had intended it be. "He punishes the wicked and acts on his own... He, along with I think a few others, fought their OWN war during the great war" Azazel saw that Issei still didn't fully understand the severity of the situation. He tried to figure out the best way to convey that to Issei

Ddraig took over where Azazel left off. "Issei... You remember how Albion and I used to be Dragons, right? But our bodies were destroyed and trapped in these sacred gears..."

Issei looked down at his sacred gear and nodded, waiting for more. Albion spoke up this time.

"He is the fucker who did that to us! Both of us at the same time!" Issei was shocked. Vali was shocked as well. Something that was never seen from him. The realization hit them both as they turned their attention back to the giant stairwell.

Hades had disappeared into the temple a few minutes ago. Before disappearing, he had muttered something to Sirzechs about too much peace and his distaste for the Devil King as a person. This was followed by an insult that shall not be typed here. Sirzech had the capacity to stop Hades but in doing so he put his fellow friend Leviathan,along with everyone else in danger. Or even worse. He risked unleashing the Hell Walker all on his own.

A few minutes passed by. The murmurs and whispers from the masses grew.

*Bang*

A hush fell over the crowd as they watched the events unfold.

There were more bangs and loud crashes. Screams could be heard from within the temple. Things would crash through the ceiling and sometimes through the walls. It was only after a moment that they realized these 'things' were bodies. The screams were an indicator of this. There was a loud unearthly noise and a flash of green light. It was so bright it almost blinded everyone watching.

There was a final loud cracking sound and the God Hades flew out the entrance of the Temple. He stumbled down the stairwell and landed just in front of SirZechs and Lady Leviathan.

The Green Warrior stepped out of the temple. He stood atop the stairs and looked down at the masses before him. He was a sight to see. Blood red glowing eyes within the visor and a muscular figure behind the armor no doubt. but there was something off about his eyes. They would flicker a bit, changing to a faint yellow and sumtimes a dull grey. The Marine clenched and unclenched his fists slowly. He reached up to grab his glove. He pulled it tighter. It seems being trapped in a tomb for an undisclosed amount of time was not the best for remaining used to his battle suit. If you thought being entombed would make him rusty you would be sorely mistaken.

Hades lifted his head up to see the Green Demon before him. The Hell Walker began walking down the stairs toward Hades. He walked with a purpose. What was just witnessed was only a small indication of what the Doom Slayer was capable of. There was no telling what he was going to do once he reached Hades.
