War for Freedom

(Chapter 51)/Unnatural Order (Part 2)

Third Person POV:
Unknown Time:
Hell, outskirts of Pandemonium:

Along a perimeter around Pandemonium, Demons and even Sinners alike were all watching, waiting for any signs of the 'Burning Beast,' as they called it. This was the first time, since Satan's rule over Hell eons ago, that something caused the place to burn brighter then before. The after effects of each location that was 'visited' caused a muggy atmosphere to approach areas the Burning Beast hasn't visited.

It's been over a day since this Burning Beast appeared, and so far, nearly all of hell was Burning from it's trail. No one knew how or why, but they could feel Hell itself screaming in agony from this uninvited visitor. In Pandemoniums Dungeon, Zero was sitting on the floor, chained to his limbs, body, neck, and even his head, as the Demons were taking no chances. As he sat, unarmed and unarmored, outside, two demonic guards were looking nervous outside the entirely closed room they were guarding.

The, one of the Demons spoke to the other,

Random Demon #1: "Hey, have you heard about what the Burning Beast looks like?"

Random Demon #2 (shakes their head): "No, have you?"

Random Demon #1: "Yeah, apparently, one of the survivors, or rather victims on a Timer, managed to give a vague description before blowing up."

Random Demon #2: "Oh, what is it then?"

Random Demon #1: "Some sort of Giant, Feline Fire Creature."

Random Demon #2 (confused): "...What?"

Random Demon #1 (nods in agreement): "That's what my initial reaction was as well."

After they finished, they just looked back forward, the second Demon seeming bewildered by this fact. However, after a few moments, a distant roar could be heard echoing even as deep as the dungeons. Looking at the end of the hallway, both Demons suddenly felt the air instantly get muggy, and, for the first time in their lives, they started sweating. As they did, one of the Demons said,

Random Demon #1: "Damn, it's already attacking the outskirts?"

Random Demon #2: "You know what, I think I'm glad we were assigned guard duty, I don't think-"

Zero (muffled): "Ah, she's already here?"

Just as both guards heard that, a bang echoed from the door they were guarding, causing them to turn around. As they did, that saw a huge dent outwards at them, followed by another. After a moment of silence, a third bang caused the entire steel-cage door to burst off it's hinges and fly at the Demons. Both Demons, upon seeing this, quickly jumped out of the way before the door crashed into the other wall.

Both Demons quickly looked up from their laying positions and saw Zero walking out, ripping off the last shackle around his left forearm. Quickly, both Demons got up to their feet and aimed their spears at him, with one of them shouting,

Random Demon #2: "How did you break free?!"

Zero (sarcastic): "What, it wasn't obvious enough? I kicked the door down. I mean, I could've left whenever, but I chose to stay."

Random Demon #1: "If you could've left whenever, then why leave now?"

Zero: "Because I heard you talking about her, and knowing how worried she is, I decided to leave to show her I was okay."

The demons started shaking in place, seeing that Zero had no injuries despite hearing what happened to him. They knew he had a healing factor, they didn't expect it to be so fast, in fact, they didn't know that it was even faster then they think it is. After a moment, Zero looked around, ignoring the scared demons trembling before him, and asked,
