In the arctic land, a man stomps onto the cold and damp snow as a hard blizard is storming onto the arctic ground, other men and women of his own, begin to rush in with spears as they toss the spears at large and furry animals, mammoths, the man notices other people running at them, war cries are heard from the other side as the man pulls out a machete and shouts.

???: CHARGE!!

The enemies slash a few of his men and manage to capture him along with the remnants of his tribe, we cut to him being hanged by his wrists as an enemy tribe member begins to torture him as much as Griffith was.

???: what is this, looks quite unique, beautiful. *glancing at the behelit*

The man is dropped from hanging as he can barely move, not due to tendants being severed, but due to other injuries around his body. The next day. The moon begins to block the sun, people from both tribes are confused as to what is happening, nobody knew what the eclipse was. Without a Skull Knight, and without a Guts, no survivors will be left. Members of both tribes look away, thinking it is something abnormal, figures start to appear as the tents start getting blown away by a large open hand that takes the man and his behelit, making anyone that was near him, fall.

???: you have been chosen to be the first  ever member of the GodHand, the others will arrive in time, for this eclipse will last however long it takes to find the new GodHand.

The giant hand closes onto the man, starting his new transformation, meanwhile, the two tribes are suffering horrible fates of the brand of sacrifice. The hand opens once again and reveals his appearance, tall and slender, narrow and long fingers that act as claws, entirely red and furry like as well, he looks down on the corpses of the eclipse.

???: you are the first GodHand Member to ever exist in this history of Hell itself, Arcturus.

Arcturus: we have work to do.

Present day.

A horse steps onto soil as it strolls along the path to nowhere, the emotionless breathing from a Skull Helmet. Skull Knight rides his horse slow and steady as he hears the screeches of a demon, followed by a gunshot, Skull Knight runs over to see an old wrinkly, round, and crusty demon with an eye socket drooling blood.

Skull Knight: you must hate demons, you even tried killing the GodHand with a mere gun.

Mark: well, I have a bad history with these monsters.

Skull Knight: I see.

He looks in the distance to see a storm cloud, raging heavily in the distance.

Skull Knight: so, what are you doing here? I Thought you went with Guts and Casca.

Mark: we split up, so one of us could find you and then we could start the hunt for Griffith.

Skull Knight: I see, now, shall we head back to the others?

Mark: well, we have to know where they are first.

Just then the large storm cloud hovers above the two.

???: I...seek...an...audience......with you.

Skull Knight and Mark are blinded by a flashing blue light, Mark and Skull Knight find themselves on a red surface, its fluffy and it feels fragile, Mark and Skull Knight realize that they are standing on a red cloud, one of many in this large domain.

???: now, my revenge shall begin on those who had robbed me of my place! The GodHand will face the wrath of me...the first GodHand leader.

Skull Knight: I know that voice.

???: indeed you do, King Gaisaric, for you and I have crossed paths once before, yes, I remember that face, the fearful face of you when you lost your kingdom, I could see it even though I wasn't there!

Skull Knight: I'll just let you introduce yourself.

A large figure rises through a few clouds  with his legs crossing like an x, his hands on his knees as his eyes reveal two yellow dots acting as pupils. Red skin and red fur waving through the air.
As he rises from below, he speaks.

???: I am the cunning and manipulative demon, one that can send a tornado one second and then a hurricane the next. I.....am......Arcturus.

Mark: no, you can't still be around, it says you died once you were replaced.

Arcturus: fools, they do not know that GodHand members are special compared to that of normal demons.

Skull Knight: explain Arcturus. Why have you brought us here?

Arcturus: simple, I want to join your little crusade, I don't care if you win, I just need Void to lose.

(Flashback)

Void: you are no longer fit to be the leader of the GodHand, I suggest you take your leave.

Arcturus: no, I have far better intentions, intentions you would only dream of doing for the Godhand, I've been watching this young boy, but it seems like he is having it rough, a young boy named....Guts, I want to lend him a behelit.

Void: no, he is not chosen by fate, you can't just choose anyone.

Arcturus: I personally don't care and I'm being as generous, as a demon is required to offer greatness.

Void: then you are not a true GodHand member if you wish to be generous, I sentence you to remain in your domain for your remaining days as a GodHand member, you will not come out after your sentence.

Arcturus: fine, I'm better off without this garbage group you call The New GodHand, I was better with the others.

(End flashback)

Mark: so, he cheated his way into the GodHand, then he wasn't destined for it.

Arcturus: well, I guess we all manage to mess up our logic.

Skull Knight: last time we met, we fought. Tell Me Why you decided to bring us here.

Arcturus: because I need your help to slay the members of the GodHand, your free to do whatever you wish with Slan, Fempto, Ubik, and Conrad, but the leader, Void is mine and mine alone.

Mark: how exactly will we get to the GodHand without a behelit or an incoming eclipse?

Arcturus: simple, your standing in Hell, our domains are connected to the GodHand grounds, that is where the most recent member joined. In order to get there, you'll need to pass through the dark paths of Hell, a red cloud behind me, is one of these dark paths. But refrain from entering, you need Guts and Casca so find them first. 'And hopefully the other prehistoric GodHand members while your at it'.

Skull Knight: very well, I trust we are no longer enemies, so we shall search, good day.

Arcturus: good day to you, King.

Skull Knight and Mark are brought back to the mortal realm, they nod at each other and proceed to move forward onto the path.

Void: damn you Arcturus, I thought I made myself clear, it seems I must eliminate you.

Void stands in his domain, it looks squishy and wrinkly, like decayed skin, similar to that of a brain. A humanoid figure stands on the finger of the large GodHand, one with a fempto helmet and wings of which to soar, with the slowest breath, he slowly opens his eyes along with it.
