5.) Welcome to Le Destrucìon!

The battle ended and HellBlazer came out on top. He tells of their objective and what he has planned for his people in the long run. He speaks of a group known as Le Destrucíon, his personal guard of mercenaries. We stroll into his confines to meet them, but first… We take a leisurely trip down to the base of the assassins. Where Vashjai and Tristan speak with their leader, Meenahs Fely.

Vashjai: "So miss Meenahs, what is it about my brother that you wanted to discuss with us?"

Meenahs: "Well, Vashjai, Tristan. It seems as though the Gahwhardian Haydes has been seen making moves again since his surprise break out from his seal."

Vashjai: "Wait, wait, wait. My big brother Haydes is actually beginning to move again? Do we know what he may be up to Miss Meenahs?"

Meenahs: "Yes, actually. We found out he's up to the same tricks as always. He's trying to prevent the revival of Death."

Tristan: (Isn't he the one that caused this debacle?)

Vashjai: "Isn't he the one that caused this debacle!??!"

Tristan: …(Oh yeah, didn't say that out loud.)

Meenahs: "Yes, but it seems he's using a far more cunning approach this time. And is rumored to be collecting the keys I briefed you guys on. Which is why... You're going to kill him."

Both "What!?!"

Meenahs: "Vashjai, your father, Lord Morzick has already granted it the ok, and my father gave the order. Our faction is tasked with this"

Vashjai: "Uh- I guess if Father and Zigorim have given the order and ok. We'll join the mission and do it."

Tristan: "Yeah."

Meenahs: "Then let me tell you the name he's going by and his whereabouts. I'll also be giving you 2 mortal ascended assassins as backup."

Vashjai: "So they're new to the God scene, huh? What are their names?"

Meenahs: "Sanjin and Bujuro. They hail from Earth Z. The strongest Earth is known for now."

Vashjai: "Heh…. Nice indeed."

Back in System 9, where the entrance test took place. Hellblazer began showing Diablos and Angelos the hidden base he had hidden within the system's Star.

HellBlazer: "This is where I tucked our base and members away for safety. As you saw. This system is deserted and completely off the map. The reason for that is simple. All members of Le Destrucìon are special and unique. People of all calibers are looking to nab them for their unique, one of a kind Birthrights"

Diablos: "Makes sense then. I don't blame you. You're strong as hell, I'll give you that. But I've sensed people of vile and tremendous Caliber during my travels. It's fair to say you don't compare based on what you've shown. The best thing is to stay hidden while building your trength."

Angelos: "I agree, but now that we're here. You've done quite well to build and mold such a gorgeous and sturdy looking base. Well done, Sir Blazer!"

The base was colored an ominous, brightened blood red from top to bottom with crimson dashed and dabbed here and there. The base took up the complete vacant space within the star. The star was big enough to house all 9 planets plus 2 more. Leaving room for a center space with 9 deluxe kitchens. Ones you'd see from an Earth cooking program, like Hell's Kitchen from Earth 52's cooking channel. A living room half the size of Vonra 9, whose size is equal to Earth 52. 11 massive rooms that all housed 4 deluxe bathrooms, great room space fit for a high-class God, and a massive training ground to boot. Each and every thing in the base was of tip-top shape and looked as though they were constantly maintained and looked after. It was grand.

HellBlazer: "Not too much else to this place, really. It's just good enough to be comfortable in and sturdy enough to handle over 1000 "Di'Angelo VS Me" fights at once. We… are good and safe here."

Angelos: "Oh indeed. Indeed, but uh…. Where are the other members?"

HellBlazer: "Ah! They're all in their rooms, we'll go in and introduce you. We'll be having a group meeting afterward."

Diablos: "So… we ain't gone talk about the commercial-like presentation he gave? And who was he staring at!?"

HellBlazer: "Hahaaaa!!! Funny. Let's go meet our first busy body, Sonya Trigerpul."

*Knock* *knock* *knock*

"Yo Sonyaaa! We have our newest members here. Come give a rising "hello" girly."

Both Diablos and Angelos take a brief look at each other as a great force of energy approaches the door from the other side.

Sonya: "Cominggg HellBlazer!"

The door flies open as a 5'10, well in shape, young Goddess Opened the door. She had pink, short curly hair with a blissful bang covering the right side of her face. Her eyes were a bright, hot pink while her pupils were a milky hazel. Her skin was light brown, and her lips were full. She toted a basic training outfit, a tank top with brawler gloves. Cloth leggings with a galaxy pattern and shoeless. One could say she was drop-dead gorgeous.

"Soooo what's up? How are you, fellas doing? Enjoying the tour?"

Angelos: "Yeah, actually. And we're doing fine today… Hmm? Is that a classic Wartanium Dual-edge sword?!"

Diablos: "It is indeed, bro."

Sonya: "Wow! Good eye, guys. It's probably my favorite one out of the 30 I own."

Diablos: "30, eh? That's quite the collection, so…. Are you any good, Sonya?

Sonya: "Am I any goo-. You know what, how about a sparring match? Quick little swordplay display. You got ya sword, right?"

Diablos: "Well, but of course. And a sparring match is right up my alley. Let's cross blades."

Sonya: "Wonderful! Join me in my temple, Sonya's Personal Bladeworks!"

Diablos: "Alright! Just make sure you use your favorite cause I'm using mine. The Legendary Blade of Gì."

Sonya: "Sounds good, Diablos. Let's go!"

The two jump onto the battlefield outside of Sonya's temple. The battlefield was made of Machimechilon, a material 2 times as hard as Wartanium. Neither have the power to break Wartanium, so breaking Machimechilon is out of the question.

HellBlazer: "I can say for certain this'll be quite the match.

Angelos: "Yeah, Diablos is a bit better than me when it comes to swordplay. But I'm better at hand to hand."

HellBlazer: "Nice, uh- oh yeah! BEGIN!"

The two vanish as they dash forward. A sudden burst of clashes comes forth as Sonya tries to get past Diablos' defenses. She releases 20 quick thrusts within a second! But Diablos dodges each one with ease, counter-attacking with a wide quick swing that sends a slash flying at Sonya as she dodges the initial swing.

Sonya: "Hohooo! You nice, you nice!. But this slash ain't… IT!!!"

Sonya cancels out the slash sent by Diablos and then proceeds to vanish yet again.

Diablos: "Indeed. But speed will get you nowhere."

Diablos intercepts Sonya and sends her flying upwards with a heavy swing. Diablos follows up by dashing upwards and coming down on Sonya with a powerful heavy swing.

"HAAAA!!"yelled Diablos as he brought his sword down on Sonya. But Sonya parry's it, then throws a heavy kick at Diablos' head. Diablos grabs the kick and spins Sonya around. Throwing her into the ground.

Sonya: "Kyaa!"

Sonya throws her blade down at the floor and then lands on the sword before it can fall. Diablos dashes down and meets her.

"Seems you're quite the fighter and swordsman. Color me impressed, darkness?"

Diablos: "Same to you girly. Good match!"

Sonya: "Thanks. I'll be seeing you! Bye, Angelos!!"

Diablos: "See ya later."

Angelos: "See ya around, Sonya!"

HellBlazer moves on with the tour as they head into Dimitri's A.K.A. Swift-Hit's room. He's a Phoenix God with fire for hair. He had light purple eyes and pure purple pupils. His skin was a milky brown, and he was built quite big. His shirt toted a collar that wrapped around his neck, and the shirt only covered the arms and part of his chest. Leaving the rest of his torso exposed. He had a golden kung fu belt and purple kung fu pants. He looked like he didn't want to be bothered.

Dimitri: "What do you need, Blazer?"

HellBlazer: "Came to introduce our new recruits, Diablos & Angelos."

Diablos: "Nice to meet you, Dimitri. I see you're not much of a people person."

Angelos: "Nonetheless, he still has an inviting nature on 'em."

Dimitri: "Heh….. Yeah, I don't really like the company of others too much. But I'm pretty chill regardless. Nice to meet you."

HellBlazer: "Care to show our new recruits a bit of your power?"

Dimitri: "Sure thing, man."

Dimitri summons a ball of fire that burns so hot. It melts the atmosphere itself, drying it up soon after.

Diablos: "Never thought I'd see someone melt the atmosphere itself. Nothing but heat here now, and it's unbearable."

Dimitri: "Indeed. I simply fill the "space" that has nothing in it with my fire and heat."

Angelos: "i get it now. That's quite nice, but I'd like to move on. I don't like melting very much."

Diablos & HellBlazer: "Agreed."

The three then move on to the third room, but there seem to have been two bodies in it. Both were equal to, no GREATER than what Dimitri was oozing.

HellBlazer: "The two we're about to meet are two of the triplets. They come from the same clan as me."

Diablos: "Ah, ok. What're their nam-"

???1: "HellBlazer!!! How're you doing, mister?!"

???2: "You get those two recruits you were looking fo -"

Angelos & Diablos: "Uuh…"

HellBlazer: "Eh-ehrrm, Diablos & Angelos, these are two of our three hand to hand specialists, Tailee and Meilee."

Tailee & Meilee: "Nice to meet you guys!!"

Diablos & Angelos: "Nice to meet y'all as well."

Tailee and Meilee were identical twins through and through. They both had very light-brown skin, and they had a hint of turquoise in it. Tailee wore her hair in twin buns with small bangs at the front. Her eyes were the average white while her pupils were bright red. She had full lips and a slim figure. Meilee wore her hair in a basic ponytail with small bamgs at the front. Her eyes were also white, but her pupils were a blood red. She had full lips as well, but her body was a bit thicker. They wore outfits identical to Sonya's. But they wore kung-fu pants and shoes in their fits.

Tailee: "So does either of you two have great hand to hand prowess? I'd like to spar with you if so."

Angelos: "We both are, but i'd say I have the edge in skill."

Diablos: "I agree with that, honestly."

Tailee: "Ah, so the Risen look-alike it is. I liiiike."

Angelos: "So shall we begin then?"

Tailee: "Duh, bruh! Put yo paws up, Hamie! Catch these hands!!!"

Angelos: "Oh uh…. Ok."

*FWIP*

Angelos dashes at Tailee and releases a quick 5-hit combo. Two quick right jabs with a rapid 3 left kick flurry. Tailee blocks all the blows and counters with a hard right hook. Angelos dodges, but the punch still causes a whirlwind to fill the room.

"Wow, you're definitely something. Your precision is high, and your instinct might even surpass mine!"says Angelos as he blocks an onslaught of punch barrages.

Tailee: "You're quite good yourself. Your punches are heavy yet fast. I think I've seen what I need."

The two suddenly stop their spar. Giving one another a bow as respect for the other's skills. Smiling on as they acknowledge the other.

Tailee: "We've been needing some close combat specialists. From what I can tell. You're both above us for now. That's good."

Angelos: "Thanks, that means a lot coming from you."

Tailee: "No problem. We'll definitely be seeing you two."

Diablos & Angelos: "And we look forward to working with you!"

Meilee: "Buh-bye boooys! See ya later!"

HellBlazer led the two further into the hideout. Into a room much unlike the living quarters. This was a room strictly for training and growth. There, we found the last three members idoly relaxing after what seemed to be an intense training session.

HellBlazer: "Joseph, Kitiro, Taishin! Come here for a second."

The three took no time in getting over to HellBlazer. Kitiro came from the Kingdom of Life and is that of a plant God. He had no nose or mouth, and his face looked like that of a well armored helmet frontal. His hair was spiked, and he also had spikes coming from his shoulders, elbows, and knees. Green was the color of his skin, and lime green burst from his eyes.Taishin looked exactly like his sisters and even wore his hair in a ponytail as well. His skin tone matched theirs' and so did his eyes. One had a blood red pupil while the other was a bright red pupil. He was shirtless with matching pants and shoes to his sisters. But he also had a bright yellow, kung-fu belt. Joseph looked like his sister Sonya. His hair was in a messy ponytail and was a shade of violet purple with pink tips. He had a bang of his left eye while his right eye matched Sonya's colors. His skin tone was a tad bit darker than hers. He wore a tight, white t-shirt and black sweatpants. And had premium Gods' edition running shoes to match.

All three: "What up with y'all?"

HellBlazer: "They're here to meet their teammates. Say your hellos to Diablos and Angelos, you guys!"

Joseph: "Welcome to the team! I'm the leader, Joseph Trigerpul!

Taishin: "I'm ya boy, Taishin Senkozen atcha service!"

Kitiro: "Was going on mi bruddas? Nice to have more helping hands on board with de crew."

Diablos: "Nice to meet you, young, powerful Gods!"

Angelos: "Indeed! It's great to make your acquaintance!"

Joseph: "Yeah! I'm pretty sure you've met everyone else. What do you think of the tea- Huh?"

Kitiro: "What are all of you doin' here, mahn?"

The other 4 members of Le Destrucìon enter the room and take a seat behind Joseph and the others.

Tailee: "HellBlazer called us all here to talk about our new guys over there."

Joseph: "Makes sense. So what's the situation, Blazer?"

HellBlazer: "Heh."

Back at the Assassin's HQ, Vashjai and his group get prepared for their new mission. Eliminating Haydes.

Vashjai: "Alright, y'all. We have our leads on where he's been spotted the most, and we've calced and narrowed our search down thanks to that info."

Tristan: "Seems as though we only got 3 places to look that he'd definitely be at."

Vashjai: "Yeah. Well, knock the search out quickly. The longer it takes, the stronger he gets. The situation grows worse for us with every second. So let's knock this fucking search out and put 'em down."

Sanjin: "Copy, sir."

Bujuro: "Will do."

Vashjai: "Alright, let's get a move on then. Well be splitting up at our checkpoint. MOVE OUT!"

All three: "RIGHT!"

HellBlazer: "So simple enough you guys. I've brought them here cause they're great assets to our goal. To why Le Destrucìon was even created. But not only that…

Joseph: "hmm?..."

HellBlazer: "They're also your new….. Captains!"

Everyone: "Wooooooah!!!"

Joseph: "WHAAT!!!"

Diablos and Angelos are finally in Le Destrucìon, but… as it's leaders?! As they make way for new captains, the assassins make their way towards them. The Revival of Death Draws… NEAR!
