The town began to rewind but Danny and Alkilai were not. The building returned to their old ruined selves and the gate lay on the floor as Danny had left it, all except for the tree that was in the centre. It seemed to have gone for good. Danny placed a gentle hand on his "soul well" as the souls entered him one by one, the feeling of power surged his body like he'd been given a great high! He shivered as the last soul entered and dusted his jacket 'damn that felt good!' Danny said shaking his head and turning to Al.
'This symbol is also part of who you were, we are horsemen yes, guardians, yes but when a soul from either sides decides to face us for a reason that goes against humanity' he tapped the soul well symbol on his abdomen 'we soak it up and save it for epic moves that will strike fear into any opposing angels or demons' Danny grabbed his dagger scythes by their chains and spun them with speed that made then look like a blur. His soul well symbol started to glow a faint green and his blades began to float by themselves, they continued to spin at his sides 'but be careful, you need to keep stocking on souls to keep dishing out the power, the more souls you have, the longer the duration of each ability. If you go into horseman form then make sure you have a lot of souls accumulated otherwise your the soul well will but you back with debt and I promise it WILL hurt' the blades stopped spinning as he took them by their chains.
'As for the prophecy, he gave it to us... We have to find the arch angel Michael and the devil... Spa... Wait... My father!?' He felt like the tree had been wrong, his father's supposed to be dead 'we have to find Sparta... My dead father...' He was in shock, his mind tried to wrap itself around the fact that... His dead father... Is alive

"Wait, Sparda, as in the Legendary Dark Knight, he's your dad?" Alkilai was surprised, he remembered Danny mentioning that he was the offspring of an angel AND demon, but he never would've guessed said demon was the mighty Sparda. He was no stranger to the legend of Sparda, his home town had great respect for the demonic hero, but there was always a sort of tension between those who believed Sparda should've been held in the same regard as the heavenly guardians themselves, and those who saw him as nothing but a wild card that could never truly escape his demonic nature. He was nonetheless revered, he himself had grown up hearing stories of his great exploits, but it wasn't until his angelic heritage was revealed to him that he truly began to accept those stories as one hundred percent fact. Additionally, he could call up faint memories of having met Sparda in one of his past lives, even in that single faded echo of the past, he could vividly remember his overwhelming power.
"And, you thought he was dead?" This fact also came as a surprise to him, he hadn't heard anything about Sparda dying, but then again, he wasn't totally in the loop when it came to demonic happenings.

'I was told he was dead... One night my mom, Eve. Was putting me and my brother Virgil to bed, she was saddened... She. She heard a bang at the door she quickly hid us under' Danny approached his bike not sparing a look at Al 'from underneath the bed we saw our mother get murdered by 5 demons... Her blood was sprayed across the walls and on the bed sheets... Until her lifeless body fell right in front of us... Staring at us as we hid... Vergil left and so did dad... Never heard of both of them since..."
Danny's bike's engine revved a little, it felt his pain like it lived through it all...

Alkilai was silent, he didn't really know how to respond to that, he wasn't really expecting so gruesome of an explanation. "Wow... that's awful, I'm uh, sorry for your loss." He finally said. As bad as he felt for his comrades loss, he couldn't help but feel a little... bitter about the explanation, after all if Sparda was his demonic father, and Danny was a Nephilim, then Eve must've been an angel, just like his mother, and yet...
"So, this Eve person, she actually raised you? Huh, guess not all angels are deadbeats, or maybe its just MY mom that is." He said as he made his way to his car. He opened the door to get in, when something dawned on him. "Hey, wait a sec, you said you had a brother, right, that would make him Nephilim wouldn't it... is he a horseman too?"

Danny was silent, he didn't want to reply to Al 'I think we should go to the paradise diner, it's a long drive from here, mind if I take shotgun? I don't feel like driving' his voice was calmer than usual. The bike's engine revved a little as it drove around behind Al's mustang.
Danny approached the passenger door and opened the door, the thoughts of his farther, his brother Kane (Vergil, I changed the name xD ) and his sweet mother played on re-run in his mind. He took a seat in the passengers side, staring blankly onto the open road 'after you bro'

"Uh, yeah, sure, no problem." Alkilai was somewhat taken back by Danny's sudden change in tone, it seemed it was a touchier subject than he had thought. His curiosity grew, but he decided to drop the subject for now, but this definitely wouldn't be the last he had heard of it. The two Nephilim sat in the car and drove down the road, Danny's bike following close behind, the ride was silent, Danny was just staring out the window, most likely in solemn contemplation while Alkilai focused on his driving. They had been driving for an hour and they had still not made it out of the desert, this diner was apparently not in the same city they had met in, the only words coming out of Danny's mouth being subtle directions to guide him in the right direction, he wasn't kidding, it was a long drive.
Two more hours pass and Alkilai could finally see the entrance to a new city. "Finally." He increased speed, wanting to get there as soon as possible, but as he was cruising along the road, Danny's bike drove up right next to his window, revving it's engine frantically. "Huh, what's up with you?" He wondered out loud, but he soon found his answer. Suddenly, a bright light shined down from above, and something fell from the sky and landed right in the middle of street, forcing Alkilai to hit the breaks and skid to a stop. They stopped right before they hit the entity, the first thing Alkilai saw as he looked up at it was its big, beautiful feathered wings.
"Oh boy, here we go." Alkilai said as he and Danny stepped out of the car. The entity was obviously angelic, if the wings weren't enough, it had white and gold regal looking armor, complete with sword and shield, and to top it all off, it had a halo floating above its head. Moments later, seven more identical beings fell to the ground for a grand total of eight, surrounding them. "Well, at least we know we're on the right track." He quipped.

Danny was silent through the trip, when he was asked directions his tattoos would shine and they would twist and turn into words to send them the right way. When Danny's bike rode up besides them, Danny's gut told him something was terribly wrong... he was right.
He stepped out of the car and grabbed a hold of his scythes... his rage peeking at it's very max, the scythes began to spin surprisingly fast as they lit up in yellow golden flames. He let go of them as they continued to spin without him needing to hold them.
Danny looked at Al with a terrifyingly angry look, veins Defined on his forehead and his skin turned a dark red. He looked like he was about to explode with rage, his gaze falling back onto the angels he burst out into a scream of anger and his scyths grew in size 'I AM GOING TO SLAUGHTER YOU! I AM GOING TO RIP YOUR ARMS AND LEGS AWAY SO THAT YOU HAVE NO WAY OF MOVING AND THE SLOWLY PEAL AWAY YOUR SKIN UNTIL I CAN SEE YOUR INSIDES!'

I AM GOING TO RIP YOUR ARMS AND LEGS AWAY SO THAT YOU HAVE NO WAY OF MOVING AND THE SLOWLY PEAL AWAY YOUR SKIN UNTIL I CAN SEE YOUR INSIDES!'
Alkilai couldn't help but back away from the suddenly enraged Danny, he was absolutely terrifying, at first he thought he might've just been trying to intimidate the aggressors, but he could practically feel the anger and rage imbued into the golden flames that emanated from his scythes.
"Damn, talk about mood swings." He said as he rolled up his sleeves. He conjured his silver gauntlets, as well as matching greaves for good measure, bashing his knuckles together for intimidation. "So, what do you say Danny, four for me four for..." He cut himself off once he saw that Danny was already going ape on the four on his side. "I'll take that as a yes." He faced his opponents and lowered into a fighting stance. The angelic knights readied their shields and unsheathed their swords in perfect unison, pointing them at him as if giving him one last chance to surrender, Alkilai just smirked and motioned his hand to say "bring it on". With that, the angels unfurled their wings and propelled forward, the quickest one brought his sword down to him, but Alkilai leaped hight into the air at the last minute, avoiding it. The next three met him up in the air, he countered a sword swing from the second with a karate chop, using the momentum to throw a spinning kick at the next, but was met with his shield. He pushed off of it, avoiding a swing from the fourth angel and leaping even higher up into the air. Before they had a chance to react, Alkilai tried something he'd been wanting to try for a while, he animated the chains on his skin, attached them to his gauntlet, threw his hand forward and out launched the gauntlet, attached to the ever extending chain. The gauntlet grabbed the fourth angel by the throat and pulled him up towards Alkilai, and with a heel kick charged with Holy Light, sent them both crashing to the ground.
In the little crater, Alkilai stomped on the head of the writhing angel to keep it from getting up. The first angel attempted to strike him from behind, but Alkilai grabbed the blade just before it connected and landed a back kick to the angel, forcing the sword out of his hands. He grabbed the sword by the handle with his right hand and countered slashes from the second and third angel. He locked swords with the third and in one swift motion, blocked a slash from the second, elbowed him in the chest, and punched the third in the face, sending both flying back. He then took the sword and plunged it into the angel under his boot, twisting it for good measure. As it died, a white energy flowed into his abdomen, filling his newly acquired Soul Well. "Oh yeah, that's gonna come in handy." He leaped out of the way of a shield bash from the first angel, allowing it to retake his sword. the other two joined him and the two sides stared each other down, before charging at each other, Alkilai was going to enjoy this.

Danny's rage contributed to his doubled strength, his skin turned a faint colour of red and his hair started to float onto point. He looked at one of the angels with rage boiling in his eyes. He took the chains of his already spiking scythes and flung job eat an angel. As the scythe connected it dug itself into the angel's leg, Danny instantly flashed onto the scythe, his momentum was unreal as he landed a twisting horizontal kick on the angel's face sending it flying into the 2 behind it.
The 3rd angel right at the back flew up to avoid the ball of angels but Danny was already on it. He launched himself up, grabbed both of his scythes by their hilts and swung diagonally but his body moved like a tornado, spinning around in epic speed. The angel dropped in two cut diagonally. Danny landed in it's blood, his feet covered in the red life liquid.
He felt the soul feed his soul well but he was already using immense power so all it did was keep him fuelled. The previous angels untangled themselves from the ball and stretched their wings, holding their blades tightly they both flew directly at him. Danny shifted his feet and launched himself like a flying torpedo straight into the first, spinning upright just before he got close and slammed his feet on the floor sending him sky high.
In the air he grabbed both his scythes and swung them over his head by the chains into both shoulders of one of the angels. Danny screamed in thunderous rage as he pulled both chains that were connected to the scythes and cause the angel to fly back straight into him. Danny grabbed the angel by the head bringing it to a complete stop as it flew to him. He stared with hungry eyes into the angels scared ones and sucked his soul straight from his living body before twisting it's head completely.
His soul well went into over charge, he was using the power of the angel souls to change forms, the Nephilim form he once had, his body was a pale and covering his face was a human skull without the jaw. White wings slowly emerged from his back as he mimicked the abilities of the angels. He spun on the spot, feathers as sharp and strong as steel flew out from his wings and killed the angel by flying threw it's heart and neck. Danny walked towards it, the rage in his eyes started to die. The soul flew into Danny's soul well and with It, his rage burned to a cinder

Alkilai blocked the sword swing of one angel and did a back flip, kicking it high into the air. Once he was up right again, the two other angels came at him from both sides, only for him to grab their swords in mid swing in each hand. The angels kept a sold grip on their swords as to not lose them, which allowed Alkilai to spin them around at high speed and throw them up into the air. One slammed into the first, sending them both crashing to the ground, while the other regained composure in the air. It unfurled its wings to their full length, the feathers glowing with Holy Light, before throwing a shower of feathers towards him. He dodged these projectiles quite easily, and gained his footing in a slight delay in the angel's attack, allowing him to grab him with his Grapple Gauntlet and pull him to him, grabbing his body and finishing him off with a suplex, its head bursting on the impact and his soul filling his Soul Well.
The other two angels finally recovered, floating in the air and shooting feathers at him. Alkilai grabbed the angel's body and used it as a meat shield, guarding himself from the barrage. He then threw it up at one of the angels, but it easily evaded it and flew down towards him to do combat, while the other was still firing at him. Alkilai evaded the feathers as best he could, while fighting off the angel, he blocked his strikes rather easily, but he couldn't get a proper footing for a counter attack. He blocked two more sword swings until finally seeing an opening, ducking under a third swing and sweeping its feet. While it was in the air, he kicked him up into the air, like a soccer player, up at his comrade. It evaded it easily, but it was just a distraction, allowing Alkilai to meet him up in the air and knock him down to the ground with a powerful punch. He tapped into the power of his Soul Well, in creasing the intensity of the Holy Light he channeled in his arms and landed an elbow drop on the downed angel, killing it and refilling his Soul Well.
He faced the last remaining angel, who seemed rather intimidated, but still held its head high. It seemed to want to play it safe and rose into the air for another feather barrage, but Alkilai wouldn't have it, he pulled it toward him with his Grapple Gauntlet and slammed in into the ground, stunning it. As it got back up, Alkilai channeled the last of the power in his Soul Well into his right arm, making it overflow with Holy Light. The angel noticed it and brought his shield to brace for the impact, but once he let loose the punch, it completely shattered his shield, the sheer force ripping through its body, leaving a shining, gapping hole where its abdomen once was. It fell to the floor as Alkilai absorbed his soul, he grinned as he dusted his hands, satisfied with outcome. "That was WAY over due." He walked over to the other side of the road, where Danny stood with mangled angel corpses all around him, it was a sight to see. "Hey, you cooled off yet?" He asked, remembering his demeanor from earlier.

Danny's nephilim form was the strongest form he had and it required strong souls or a large quantity of lesser souls. Flickers of black flames came from his body as he turned to face Al, the black flame coating him until his body returned to normal.
His Soul Well was dry, in fact he'd burned more energy than his Well had and it loaned pure energy from the world around him. All the souls that died and the souls that were doomed to roam earth were used to fuel him. The overuse of his Soul Well caused him to cripple and fall to his feet, he gasped for air as his Soul Well began feeding off his soul "Hel-- Help" he asked Al, holding out his hand towards him "Give me the soul yo have left- before my Soul is half eaten---" his body became pale and darkness crept over the edges of his eyes "Al,, please..."

"Uh, ok, just hang on." Alkilai said somewhat frantically. His Soul Well glowed as he extracted his last soul from it, it took the form of a glowing white ball of light with flame like energy emanating from it. He kneeled down and placed the soul into Danny's Soul Well, as it filled up the color returned to his skin and the darkness form his eyes faded. Danny took a gasp of air, as if he had been suffocating, Alkilai let out a relieved sigh.
"Geez Danny, that's what you get for overdoing it like that." He scolded. He looked around at the carnage, it was complete overkill, it seemed like a total waste of energy to him, he managed just fine without taping into his full nephilim powers after all, so why did he go all out last time, why was he so angry?
"Can you stand?"

((Poke))
((ouch!))
Dante gasped for air as the life returned to his skin, his eyes flashed a light blue before he seemed even remotely normal. He sat up and rubbed his forehead, trying to pull himself together. He took a deep breath "yeah, thanks man, I owe ya" he said standing up.Dante brushed his clothes, cocked a brow and shielded his eyes from sun, he saw the blood every, the angels were destroyed "think we overdid it?"

"Overkill is more like it." Alkilai replied. "And what do you mean we?" He jabbed with an amused smirk. "Come on, let's hit the road before more of them show up." Alkilai slid into the driver's seat of the car and Dante took shot gun once again. The two sped off down the road, entering the new city, which seemed more like a ghost town now. It was completely abandoned for the most part, buildings were destroyed and laid in ruin and corpses that weren't picked clean by Hellhounds littered the streets, it seemed no place was spared of the Apocalypse, and it made Alkilai's stomach churn.
"Damn, why the hell would God just up and disappear if he knew all this was gonna happen." He mused bitterly, though it wasn't surprising, if Angels were so hypocritical how could he expect any more from the big guy himself. He drove through the barren wasteland of a city until he came to a retro looking diner with a flashing neon sign on the front. "So this is it huh, Paradise Diner. So, you mind telling me what we're doing here?" He inquired.

Dante smiled at Akilai. They may not know much about each other but they were closer than Dante has ever been to his real brother. Dante was as playful as he once was, nonchalant and some-what friendly "Dude" he said looking at Alkilai, seriousness in his eyes "If we go through with this, there's a chance of..." he looked at the dashboard then out of the windshield, the stretch of road showed him how far they've come, they have to go further "There's a chance we won't make it" those words were harder to say than he originally thought.
He saw the diner and took a deep breath "End of the road, now the trial begin"
(im sorry this is short, i cut my hand in multiple places, some of my wounds are deep and they make it really hard for me to type)

(Oh shit, are you ok? Yeah, don't worry about it man, it's totally fine if that's the case)
Alkilai somehow found that comment... unsettling. He had seen the power that the Horsemen of Death wielded, so if he said something was dangerous, that probably was an understatement. However, he was never one to back down in the face a danger, especially when it came to his "duty". He came this far already, and he wasn't going to turn back now.
"Well then, what are we waiting for." he replied, a smirk on his face.

Dante shut the door behind him and stretched, he took off his jacket and tossed it into the boot. He chuckled at the thought of putting something in war's horse's ass "dude, your horse has a spacious ass" he laughed slamming the boot shur. The car revved as he shut it "chill out, there's no where else to put it" he said to the car as he walked up to the diner door.
It was too quiet, as soon as he opened the door, the bell was especially noticeable making the *ding* feel louder than it should have been. Pieces of glass were spread across the floor with shattered plates and glasses laying amongst them. Some tables were destroyed whilst others had seats ripped from the wall.
Dante walked up to the counter and raised his hand parallel to his face "guardian of the trials, i summon thee, Postremo te fateor, a me omnes, qui ingrediebantur portas ejus obsigno (I call thee for the last time, let me seal away the gates and all that came from it)"

Pieces of glass were spread across the floor with shattered plates and glasses laying amongst them. Some tables were destroyed whilst others had seats ripped from the wall.

After Dante chanted the spell, the wind began to pick up in the diner, and the earth seemed to shake slightly as well, if the shaking plates and silverware were any indication.
"Ah great, more Hocus Pocus." Alkilai said sarcastically. The wind then began to converse to one spot in the room, the world seemed to distort in that particular spot, caving in on itself into a singularity before expanding into what seemed like a swirling portal, with a stone ring framing it. "A Gateway." He identified, it was a portal between the physical world and the realms of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory, and a rather large one at that. A moment after it manifested, a figure stepped out of the Gateway, it was a tall creature draped in a grey cloak, the only parts of him visible being its hands and its completely blank face, no features that would tie it to the angels, demons, or anything in between, it was a completely neutral being. It raised its head toward the two Nephilim, looking at them despite having no eyes.
"Who summons the Gatekeeper?" It spoke despite having no mouth.
