All three: For the sake of Ceris!
Stella, Azura, and Lance jump into the portal, hoping that Ceris will be there.  They risk their lives for a friend.
*10 days ago*
Ceris: Stop!  You will not leave!
Lucifer: Yes, are you sure?)
Lucifer *uses fire lasso*
Ceris: Hey... What is this?!  I...I can't teleport!
Lucifer: You will go to hell with me!  As an atonement for guilt before King Naeus.
Ceris: You bastard!  I'll take revenge on you!
*Later in hell*
Lucifer: Your Majesty, I beg your pardon, but... My mission failed miserably... But I have a very interesting trophy!
Naeus: I hope this trophy is really interesting.  Otherwise, you will lose your miserable life!
Lucifer: Oh my lord, very interesting, believe me.  Hey you, bring her.
Soldiers *bring bound Ceris*
Naeus: Who is she?  Just some girl!
Lucifer: Oh no, she's not just a girl.  This girl grew up under Zeganirn's care.  Her family went missing, and yes, it's the same family that killed your daughter back then... Her father is that pathetic Captain Daryl's best friend.
Naeus: You're not a blunder, Lucifer.  You will be rewarded for the service.  Soldiers!
Lucifer: But... Your Majesty...
Soldiers *kill Lucifer*
Naeus: And you, you will live in a dungeon for now.  Until your pathetic friends want to come after you)...

*Our days*
The triplets are already in hell.  They do not even suspect that they can fall into the trap of Naeus at any moment.
Lance: Shh... You need to be quiet and not draw attention!
Stella *sneezes*
Lance: Are you out of your mind?!
Stella: I'm sorry, but I'm allergic to this hell, I can't stand the smell of gunpowder... *sneezes again*
Lance: ENOUGH!  YOU GET US AWAY!
Azura: Hold on!  This will help, don't take it out of your mouth.  *Gives a strange piece of cloth*
Lance: Okay, let's go!  We must find Ceris!  *takes a step*

Naeus's trap goes off and all three fall into a fiery lasso.
Councilor Magnus: Well, there you are!
Stella: *screams* Aah, what is this?!
Ceris *hears a familiar voice* Wh-what?  R-guys?  What are you doing here?!
Azura: Hush... I thought I had the tools...
Magnus: Bring that Ceris...
Soldiers *Bring Ceris*
Stella and Lance *watch her closely*
Ceris *signs to her weapon*
Azura: Here!  Found!  Ready to run?
Lance: Okay, me to arms, you to Ceris.
Azura *lasso cuts*
Lance: Run!!!

Lance grabs a weapon and starts to fight.  While Stella frees Ceris, Azura protects them.  Wrestling.  A piece of cloth falls from Stella's face.
Stella *starts to cough*
Magnus: Oh, here comes the loot
Magnus *runs up to Stella and inflicts a serious wound*
Ceris *Pushes him away*
Lance: Ceris get the weapon!
Ceris *catches*
Azura: Time to go!  More to the portal!

Ceris uses the last of his strength and teleports along with the wounded Stella to the portal.  Azura and Lance run up and they all walk back to the Overworld together.
Lance: Break the portal!  Quicker!
Azura: We can finally breathe!
Ceris: Stella is hurt!
Azura and Lance: What?!
Lance: You gotta do something or she'll die!
Ceris: He wounded her with a fire spear, the first thing to do is treat the wound.  Then cook a decoction of medicinal herbs.  They don't grow very far!

After a while, everything was done, and the guys decided to take a break in one of the glades.
Stella *comes to her senses* W-what happened to me?...
Lance and Ceris *hugs Stella tightly*
Ceris: You've been hurt, but you're all right now.  Rest!)
Stella: Thank you guys!

Suddenly, a mysterious group appears.
Azura: Who are you?
Stella: PATRICK!!!)))
Patrick: Hello Stella!
Stella: Why are you here?  You are from Paradise.
Patrick: I came to a girl named Ceris.  Is there one?...
