I was teleported to the sky and all I see is a huge body of black colored water. I summoned a whirling water so I could stand in the sky and observe my surroundings, but it didn't work, so I have to use force to summon it and now it works. All I could see is a red sky and clouds are dark and raining fire everywhere. Though the fiery rain doesn't hurt, it creeps me out that the bushes, trees and grasses are all in flames. Are we on the underworld or are we on hell? The water is darker and tenser here unlike in the dream world where it feels so natural to control, here I have to use force so I could control it. From a far I see a huge castle, and so I tried to maneuver the water to that direction so I could go there and know what lies ahead of me. Then I was stopped when a giant whirling water bigger than what I can control and from that water materialized a gorgeous woman with small horns like a goat and wearing a navy-blue colored dress that merges with the water. "What are you doing here?"

"I honestly don't know, love. Can you tell me where exactly am I?" I asked.

"You're in hell, and you need to go back to where you came from."

"Wait, hell? I thought we're on the underworld?"

"You are, this used to be the underworld, then new management happened so this became hell as you humans like to call it."

"And your name, sweetheart?"

"I'm Leviathan. And you?"

"I'm Hunter, by the way. And for a monster, you're the most beautiful woman I ever saw." She's blushing while I mean it. I honestly don't know why I'm flirting with a demon right now. "Thanks! You have a beautiful accent, but I'm not easily flattered by words."

"We can try if you want, sweetheart." Then I saw lightning came from the door on the castle, it might be Sam so I need to go there. "I'm sorry love, but I really must go?"

"And why is that?"

"Because I need to find my friends before we leave."

"This is your final warning, you're cute but if you pursue then I might end up killing you." She said. I approached her as near as possible but with caution for I think she likes me too. I feel like I'm in-love with a demon right now. "Look, there's no need to resort in violence!" I said while touching her hands then kissed it. "I just want to find my friends then we'll leave as you wish. Can you help me find them?" I tried to kiss her and she didn't complain. "Okay, one of your friends is on the castle. Don't tell anyone that I'm helping you." She said.

"Thanks love! I do hope that we'll meet again in the next life." I said.

"I hope so." Leviathan disappeared in front of me. I don't know what happened to me that I have to flirt with a demon? But I felt love at first sight with her. She's the very first woman who made my heart a beat as fast as it could. I fell in love with her gorgeous brunette hair and she looks like a Latin-American woman, just my type. And she can control water too, what are the chances right? Enough of my thoughts, I went there as fast as I could, but this water is harder to maneuver compared to what I was used to. I'm almost there and I saw Sam, Zack and some angel being cornered on the door with demons encircling them. I summoned a huge amount of water that gushed inside, drowning all of the enemies and I told them to run outside. And they're happy to see me. "Where are we?" I asked.

"You're in hell." The angel said.

"I know that genius! But where in hell?"

"It doesn't matter," Zack said, "the important thing is that we're all alive."

"Who is he?" I asked while pointing my finger to the angel.

"He's Azrael, the angel of death. He's the twin brother of Hypnos." Sam said.

"Are you here to save us?" I said.

"Indeed, I am. Now Zack, can you find where Toby is?"

"You can do that now?" I asked. Then Lilith, even more frustrated, summoned more than a dozens of demons outside the castle and now they're bigger than us.

"Now is the time, Zack!" Sully said.

"I have an idea! Just focus, Zack andlet me do the works." Hunter summoned a giant tornado that engulfed us whilewe're on the center. Shielding us as the demons try to attack us with theirflames. "Found him!" Zack said. Then bright blue flames whirled in front of uslike a tornado inside my tornado and then the next thing we know is that we'reon an ancient village with sun shining but looks like dawn and then we Saw Tobylooking like he lost or something.
