The Abyss Vs The Underworld

Deja Vu

2 days after the kidnapping
Malenia P. O. V
I have been waiting for her return for two DAYS. I have been waiting and waiting and sometimes even interrogating to see if she would come back or if I could find her. Both parents are rightfully upset with me and Radahn. How could I leave her in a place like hell this is all my fault and I take full responsibility for it. "YOU TWO HAD ONE JOB AND IT WAS TO MAKE SURE VIA RETURNED HOME NOT THE CLOTHING SHE WAS CARRYING!" Stella yelled throwing my old clothing on the floor. I picked it up and went to their bathroom. On my way their I bumped into Stolas who gave me a dark glare I did not dare to return it, after all how could I after what I did. I walked in the bathroom and got dressed back into my old clothes. I folded up the clothes Via bought me but not without remembering all the times I had with Miquella and compared them to the times with Octavia.I had a feeling with Miquella and Miquella only but he disappeared before I knew that feeling but within the days I knew Via I finally found it. Vulnerability. I felt something cold on my cheek. I touch the spot on my face to find out that I was crying the same reaction I had to Miquella's disappearance before I gave up and sealed myself inside the Haligtree. Tears started to turn into anger. Am I really going to let this happen to Octavia too? Really Malenia what a stupid question....of course I'm not.
Radahn P. O. V
I left the bathroom in my armor and the clothes Via got me folded. I feel stupid for letting that happen to Octavia. I put the clothes on their table and sit near the front door to wait for Malenia to leave as it is obvious we are no longer welcome here and I don't blame them in fact if it were I would have killed the ones who lost MY daughter but I'm not going to tell them that. I look to my left and see Malenia's helmet on the nightstand. She must have forgot to bring it with her in the bathroom. "I'm truly sorry for losing your daughter it was completely ALL my fault Mr.Goetia and the blame should not be put on my sister" I told Stella. "How I see it is you BOTH lost my daughter so BOTH of you are leaving when you are ready" she said still rightfully angry. Malenia soon walked out of the bathroom with her same emotionless stare as she walked over to the nightstand and picked up her helmet. But instead of putting it on she tied it to her side. She bowed to stolas and Stella, grabbed me and walked out. "Now what?" I asked still confused about where we are going to live. "No where until we find and bring Octavia back to her parents" she said. I appreciate her noble goal but I highly doubt that Stolas or Stella will let us back in by bringing their daughter back especially after we had lost her once already. "I don't think they will let us back in even if we do bring Octavia back especially after losing her once already Malenia." I said trying to get her to think of a plan of how we can prosper here in hell. "I'm not doing this for them I'm doing this for Octavia Radahn. She is probably scared, in pain, or worse. I just can't lose him again." She said but I noticed she said "him again" and not "her". "Him again?" I asked wondering who she could be talking about. "I just messed up on my speech nothing too deep Radahn. Now where could we possibly start looking?" She said tapping her chin. "To the Ars Goetia We have required an asset to your species and we are now holding her for ransom" we heard on a tv across the street. Me and Malenia ran over watched and to our horror we saw a bruised and cut Octavia chained to a chair with a man behind her with a theater mask with one half smiling and the other half frowning. Malenia seemed to be looking more behind him but I was studying the man to see if he was a capable fighter as I will be coming to kill him. He looked well built in terms of strength but his cowardice shows otherwise. He had a weird glowing "gun" as Blitzo called it, to Octavia's forehead. "We want 40 million dollars along with the grimoire of worlds" the man said still holding the gun to her head. "You will have a week until we get those products until then Your daughter won't sleep until then and to keep her alive she will get crumbs of the full course meals you Ars Goetia usually feed on" and with that the Tv turned off. I was pissed thinking about what that man has done. I look at my sibling and can see in her eyes she's just as angry no I think she is somehow more angry than me. The anger started to fade as she began talking. "The man said we so obviously this group must have some calling card or something to recognize each other like a passcode or-" I interrupted as realization hit me. "A mask" I said sure of my answer. I looked at her and it seemed like she agreed. "The place in the Tv seemed old and raggedy and the man was talking like he hated the Ars Goetia for their wealth so we're not looking for a castle as their base of operations especially since they want to be discreet" she said. "Maybe like an abandoned building?" I said. She smiled and pointed at me. "Or like an abandoned bar I noticed an abundance of old chairs and tables behind him and the chains looked like something from a warehouse" she said. "I think we should start looking for any bars near the mall as that's near where she went missing" I said. "Alright that's where we start our search" she said running towards the mall while I called for Leo and rode on him to the same location.

I was getting ridiculously anxious me and Radahn have been looking everywhere near the area and found and killed a lot of people trying to find these pieces of shit. "Hey let's stop right here." Radahn said. "We can't stop looking for her Radahn she only has 2 days left and we've made no progress." I shouted holding my head panicking. Radahn grabbed my hands and pulled them to my sides. "Hey hey we are not stopping we're just going about this the wrong way we need a plan" he said. He then pulled me into a hug. "Don't worry we will find her so you can stop crying." He said which surprised me as I had no idea I was crying. I wiped my eyes and surely enough there were tears am I becoming weak? "Alright so I was thinking we split up to cover more ground and if we find the place we send a signal" Radahn said letting me go. "Ok then, what is your signal?" I asked. "Trust me, you'll know when you see it" he said as he rode away on Leonard. Now that he was gone I have to keep looking.
Radahn P. O. V
I made my way south of Malenia to a bar called where "Stars align" I grabbed a missing poster of Octavia put up by Goetia guards and started asking questions. I noticed a couple talking to each other and I walked up to them. "Sorry to interrupt but Have you seen this girl?" I asked.
They both looked up at me and seemed pretty unaware I almost left until the boyfriend spoke up. "Oh wait that's that girl that got kidnapped by The Entertainment Cartel" he said. I pulled him into a hug Then put him down. "But we searched everywhere in this ring where else could they be?" I asked. Not believing what I was hearing. "Yeah big guy, THIS ring the most of them are in the lust ring" he said.  I immediately hugged him again and made my way towards the lust Ring. "THANK YOOOOUUUU!"
2 hours later
Octavia P. O. V
How long has it been? Hours, days, years?
I-I don't know anymore. I heard the door to the  room open and I heard the same haunting footsteps. "Ohhh poor baby it seems like her parents couldn't give two shits" My torturer said. He brought out his tray of tools from behind me and started looking for which one to use on me. "P-Please I just want t-to go home I don't want to-shhhhh" he interrupted my plea with his hand over my mouth telling me to shush. "I think your crying is really annoying especially when I haven't done anything to you yet so until I get to work just be qui-" he suddenly stopped and took his hand off of my face to grab his gun. I thought what happened to make him so worried then I heard a conversation next door " hi I'm looking for someone do you know where they could be?" It sounded like...RADAHN my eyes were widened and my voice shot up to heights I didn't even know I could reach. "IM IN HERE RADAHN IM HERE PLE-" the masked man interrupted me with a needle in my neck causing me to feel sleepy.
Radahn P. O. V
I knocked on the door gently and waited for someone. 2 minutes later someone with a scar over their eye came to the door. He wasn't muscular but had a gun on him in a weird looking sheathe. "The fuck do you want?" He asked in an frustrated tone. "Hi I'm looking for someone do you know where they could be?" I asked hoping she was here. "No The Owl ain't here alright so leave me the fuck alone alright"
He said. I grabbed my bow and shot an arrow tipped with gravity magic into the air to signal Malenia. I put my bow back and grabbed both of my swords. The guy seemed a little confused. "What the fuck are you doing?" He asked. "I never told you what kind of demon she was" I said letting him know he fell for it. He had a completely terrified look as he reached for his weapon but I slashed him and some of the building to pieces before he grabbed the handle me and Leo stepped over the rubble and looked down at a bunch of masked men that had the same mask as the guy torturing Octavia they were all armed with guns. Not that that'll help them. One spoke in a weird tiny box and said "we need backup now" it must mean more are coming...good only 5 people aren't going to satiate my anger I stomped on one trying to throw a dark green pineapple at me which somehow caused an explosion, effectively killing another man next to my foot. I slammed my left sword onto the coward who tried to run past me and then chained it to smacking a masked man at least 6 rings down with my right. All I could feel in this moment was anger so much anger that I didn't notice more people arriving. I roared pulling all my foes towards me with gravity magic. with intentions of erasing these beings from existence I lifted my weapons over my head and slammed both of my blades onto all of my opponents causing a big enough shockwave to murder at least all of them. Turns out I was wrong. Not only did more arrive but they came with bigger weapons. I don't have time for this. I need to find Octavia. Instead of fighting them I looked at the warehouse neighboring to the bar I destroyed and remembered what me and my sister thought of. "And the chains looked like something from a warehouse" perfect a warehouse right next to here. I ignored the attempts at my life by the reinforcements and made my way to the warehouse. I eventually got inside and saw it was...empty? Impossible I have to keep looki- I felt something hollow below me it was a door that leads underground. most suprising of all it could fit me but only me unfortunately. I told Leo to stay, put my swords back behind me, and I hopped down. I noticed that not only was the door huge but the entire freaking place was huge even for me. I kept walking the long and large halls hoping to find Octavia but nothing until I looked down to the left hall to see a muscular masked man holding an unconscious Octavia over his shoulder we lock eyes for at 6-7 seconds before it clicks in my slow head."Yoouu" I said taking my blades out from behind me and ran after him as he started to run away from me.
Masked man P. O. V
Shit shit shit...Why is that motherfucker so damn big. It doesn't matter as long as I have speed over-HOLY SHIT IS HE CATCHING UP?!  "YOU COWARD COME FIGHT ME LIKE A TRUE WARRIOR" the giant shouted. I pressed the alarm button on my phone and the hallway lights turned red all I heard over my shoulder was the giant say "fitting" and all men my men armed to the teeth run out of their rooms to confront the giant. I turned a hallway corner and saw the exit. "YES I FUCKING DID IT" I shouted I quickly opened the door and left outside to the warehouse. I took a slight breather and walked a very malnourished horse. I ran out to ask for more backup as the men downstairs were most likely getting slaughtered. "Hey guys there is an angry ass giant...down...stairs." I said frozen in my tracks as all I saw were corpses of my men in front of me. I looked at a woman sitting in one one of the bar chairs seemingly sleeping but that soon proves false as she gets up. And walks towards two pieces of metal on the ground. "I Dreamt for so long, my flesh was dull gold...and my blood, rotted." Her words made a wave of fear wash over me. As she picked up to what seemed to be her arm. "Corpse after corpse were left in my wake as I awaited...her return"she said as she picked up a weird mask. "Heed my words....I am Malenia...Blade of Miquella...and I have never known defeat" with that she turned around to face me. I immediately grabbed the brat and put my gun to her head. "H-HEY STAY RIGHT THERE OR THIS BRATS SKULL WILL BE EMPTY IN SECONDS." She didn't even hesitate to launch at me. Before I could pull the trigger she cut my arm clean off and kicked me into the warehouse wall. The pain finally caught up with me and I held my arm in agony. YOU FUCKIN BITCH MY ARM YOU MOTHER FU- she stood right over me ominously with the blade she wielded to my throat. I tried to grab my gun but it was behind this bitch in the grip of my cut off arm. I had no choice but to negotiate. "Hey hey hey maybe uhh 40 mil and the grimoire was too much... oooh how about this, you let me go and you keep the Goetia princess. "I said. She was silent until she stabbed me in the chest with her weapon. I started to cough up blood but I noticed a red butterfly land on my chest. "You do not cease to amaze me of how cowardly you truly are scarlet rot will follow you through life and in death, your poor decisions led you here so I hope you're happy with the end of your story." She pulled the blade out and as in on cue my body was suddenly surrounded by the same decaying red butterfly It started to hurt tremendously with a pain I wouldn't put on my worst enemy. I cried and screamed but all it came out as was coughing and wheezing my skin was decayed and red....and I woke up on the street. I must have died. ha stupid bitch everyone knows you need a holy weapon to kill a demon permanently. I then started having that same feeling again my skin started to peel on its own leaving blood splotches in its place and multiple limbs falling off I then remembered what she said. "Scarlet rot will follow you through life and in death" I was starting to piss myself out of fear. She put me in a loop of death"Wait I'm sorry I'm sor-"
then I woke up.
Radahn P. O. V
I came out of the secret base covered in blood and I hopped back on Leo I came out of the warehouse to see corpses surrounding Malenia with her back to me and kneeling on both knees holding Octavia in her lap with her helmet by her leg. I started to get closer and I started to hear sniffling and crying. "Please wake up" I heard her say. making me hurry close to her side.  I see an even more cut and bruised Octavia laying on Malenia's lap. "Radahn she won't wake up I-I think we were too late" she said sniffing with tears overflowing. I have never seen my sister like this. I hop off Leo and sit down next to Malenia. I put my arm around her and start to cradle her. "It's ok we tried our best....You tried your best." I said to comfort her but even I can't stay tough enough for her as tears threatened to fall from my eyes as well it's interesting that we have only known this girl for two days but Malenia is crying like she's known her all her life and I just can't say I like seeing Malenia like this. I then started putting something together. If she was gone I wanted to say something. I grab Octavia's hand and start to speak. I truly wanted to say thank you for not only your hospitality but your rare kindness you have shown me within the two days I have met you that this place isn't filled with only evil and you have proven that light can be found in the darkest of places." My throat was starting to itch and I felt my lips quivering. I went ahead and stayed with Malenia. "I too want to say thank you but I'm not going to say it until you wake up please I-I need you with me you made me comfortable in my power you showed me the new technology in hell so that I would be comfortable when you're not even comfortable in your own home please I don't want you to die knowing that you had no one to talk with but your self I don't want you to go, feeling lonely. So please....Wake up!" Malenia screamed as tears were now flowing as a waterfall but one tear managed to escape onto Octavia's eye which I saw quiver in reaction I looked Closer and saw her stomach go up and down hesitantly. She's not dead....SHES ASLEEP. I grabbed Octavia and hopped on Leo. Malenia looked up at me for my sudden urgency. She IS alive Malenia she is just asleep but we need to take her to a healing area. 
2 hours later
Malenia P. O. V
Radahn said something about a guy who knows everything, it seemed unlikely but I'm willing to try....for her. "Excuse me sir...sir? Hmmmm he's not here." Radahn said looking left and right. I went and grabbed Octavia off of Leo and carried her into the "Stars align" bar. I immediately started asking around. I kept getting the usual "fuck off" or "get you and your daughter away from me" which I found weird as me and her look nothing alike I kept asking around until eventually I heard Someone shout
"Hey Miss!" I looked over to the man who shouted it and saw him waving at me to come towards him. I walked over to him and started asking questions. "Do you know where I can find a healing sanctuary?" I asked. "I know where you can find a hospital that's basically the same thing as whatever a healing sanctuary thing is mate" he said in a sort of weird accent. "Well where is it then?" I asked, still in a hurry.
"Oh it's 5 rings south of this bar." He said pointing south. I thanked him and walked out the bar. "Follow me Radahn" I said before sprinting towards the hospital.
5 minutes later
As instructed me and Radahn waited outside the room well uh I waited outside the room. Radahn had to wait outside the building. A man In a white coat walked out of Octavia's room and turned to me. "She's awake if you want to see her" he said while holding the door open for me to step inside. I sat next to her bed and put my hand on her forehead. "Hey Mal sorry for the scare."  She said in a weak and silent voice. "Nonsense, it was my fault for letting you get captured." I said still guilty of my mistake. Her eyes widened in surprise and smiled at me. She then put her hand on my cheek. "Heeey, you don't have your helmet on" she said weakly. I smirked at her realization. "Well someoooone did say I looked amazing without it" she heard my response and chuckled a bit before looking up at the ceiling. The man with The white coat entered the room. "Would you like me to notify her parents?" He asked. "Yes please."  He nodded and walked out of the room. me and her continued talking up until the doctor as she told me came back and said the parents were in the building if I wanted to leave them with their daughter. I nodded and got up to leave but I felt Octavia grab my hand to prevent me from leaving. I look back to her and she tightened her grip around my hand. "Please stay with me." I nodded and sat back down next to her. It was a few minutes until Stolas and Stella walked in they immediately grabbed both of Octavia's hands and rubbed her forehead and cheek. "Oh my Octavia, are you alright? we were so worried." Stolas said. "Oh my Satan I thought we would never see you. All thanks to this harlot" Stella said I wanted to say something but she was right. "And what did you do?" I snapped my head towards Octavia in surprise. "What?...did you send some guards to look for me and just sit at home and worry, thinking that was enough?"she said with tears in her eyes "or did YOU my PARENTS actually get out side to look for me like Malenia and Radahn did." They both looked at her with very mixed emotions but still carrying the same surprised expression. "I spent an entire week in that shithole being tortured by some masked prick thinking by the end of the days I have left he'll kill me and I would have if Malenia and Radahn were not the ones looking for me." She said taking off her parent's hands and wiping her eyes. "And fun fact about the day I was kidnapped...I wouldn't have even left the house if you guys weren't ARGUING ALL THE TIME *cough* *cough* you hate each other more than you love....me....just....get out."  She said eyes filled with sadness. When her parents left I got into the bed with her and let her cry herself to sleep in my shoulder. I held her close through the night and made sure she was safe before I began to doze off as well. This happened for 2 more days before she was discharged from the hospital I carried her to the Goetia household where we saw guests. "UNCLE OZZIEEE." She yelled with delight in my arms at the blue giant. "Ohhhh is that *gasp* VIAAAAA?" The blue demon said. Octavia tugged my arm and I put her down carefully as the demon walked up to her and shared embrace. "I had just gotten the news I'm sorry that happened to you starlight"  he said. Before Octavia could reply I decided to muffle the conversation and observe the demons body. At least three poorly hidden bruises a scorch mark on the right arm and cuts on the left arm. "Where is Fizzaroli?" Octavia said. I focused in the conversation when I was done observing. "Oh he's uhh visiting someone today at the Hazbin hotel"
He said. Radahn finally caught up with me and stopped right next to me to listen to the conversation. "The Hazbin Hotel? Isn't that the place Charlie runs? What is he doing there?" She asked. The giant demon shrugged and started walking towards the door to Octavia's house. "Hey I'm going to talk with your father for a second so did you want to join?" He said halfway through the door. "Oh no thanks uncle I'm just going to go upstairs" She replied walking towards the door. I watched as she entered the building with no problems and I started to take my leave along with Radahn. "Now what?" He says. "WAIT" we snapped our heads to Stella running towards us waving her hand frantically. We halted as told, to let her catch up. *pant* o-ok let me just catch *pant* my breath."  We waited until she eventually regained her breath. "You have saved my daughter even though we kicked you out of our home and yet you still brought her back to us it is only right we allow you to stay with her for as long as you want." She said. I was suddenly filled with so much relief that I hugged Radahn. I let go and made my way to Stella. And said "Thank you"
