"You ready, Feathers?" Tony asks, and Ren growls in frustration under her breath.
They're back at Elmwood Cemetery, gearing up for another go at Amon. In preparation, the group of heroes decided to enlist the aid of additional wielders of magic and those familiar with the underworld. Joining Stark, Cap, Stephen, Xavier, Richards, and Ren are Daimon, Azazle, and Mephisto.
"Why are they here?" Richards asks, referring to the duo of red demons.
"They're useful, that's why," Ren comments as she shifts her dagger in her hand. The heroes...and villains create a half circle behind her and her black dogs stand at her side as she moves to summon Amon. Similar to what happened previously, the demonic doppelgänger of Stephen Strange appears in the center of the stone slab, a wicked smile plastered on his face.
"Seriously, what was your plan, Samael?" Amon asks in confusion as his gaze overlooks the crowd behind her. "Ah, Azazel, long time, no see," the demon mocks and Azazel scoffs.
"How are the lower levels?" Azazel taunts back, eliciting a growl from the demon as he steps forward towards the succubus.
"It's Hell," he says and stares down at the succubus, who looks back at him with fire in her eyes. "Aw, little sukkubs. Are you enjoying your new master? The resemblance is uncanny, I must say."
Ren responds with an inhuman growl as the two stare each other down. The gates of Hell rise behind him again. Another group of demonic children is prepared to be unleashed upon the earth, but the group knows what to expect this time. In an instant, everyone, save for the real Stephen Strange, is by the gates, keeping the problem under control with the aid of Oscula and Crinitus.
"Return them to Hell, Amon," Ren demands and the demon clicks his tongue at her.
"Now, now. Remember what happened the last time you spoke to me like that, sukkubs?" He taunts her and suddenly the succubus stumbles backward as fear flashes through her eyes. "You do! Good. My lessons did stick. I'll even let you choose the victim this time."
Ren is quick to get a hold of herself when she inadvertently backs up against the real Stephen Strange, who looks down at her in concern. Ren groans. As she comes back to herself, she allows annoyance and rage to overcome her and she glares back up at Amon.
"Fuck you," she says with a smirk, and without a second thought, the succubus lunges for him, quickly shaping her form into the infamous Hellhound. The demon is caught by surprise by her sudden defiance and she topples him over onto the ground, teeth snapping at the man as he attempts to block the canine's attack.
As she bites down on Amon's arm, Ren can feel the warmth of his blood fills her mouth. She growls and shakes her head, drawing blood as her saliva courses like fire through his veins. As pain runs through the demon's body, he doesn't cry out; he doesn't even flinch; the only reaction he gives to the Hellhound is a soft chuckle and a pet on her flaming head, like an owner being mauled by their pet who believes they can do no wrong. His reaction causes Ren's fury to burn brighter. Time slows down as Ren's vision blurs, her focus on the kill, and when she realizes she has the demonic image of Stephen effectively immobilized, she quickly transforms back into her human form. She straddles him, drenched in his blood as she gives him a wicked look. With a flick of her wrist, her dagger appears in her hand and she begins to relentlessly stab into him.
