The war has begun and the first wave of enemies continue to overrun everyone on the ground. Alexander,Kajah, And Subaru press on with their mission to stop Xalvec and end the war.
Emilia: there's...no end to them.
Crusch: Some of the cannons are damaged. We only have two left.
Rem and Ram are also starting to get tired. However Rem is pushing herself trying to do everything she can. Reinhard Wilhelm and Aldebaran are getting tiered as well plus overrun.
Wilhelm: there's no end to them.
Reinhard: yes...this is a little ridiculous.
Aldebaran: well...this sucks.
Lunanie: I know they can do it. I need to help more.
Crusch: Lunanie? What are you doing?
Lunanie: helping more.
Lunanie chants a different magical spell ancient to everyone and a massive light waves went over the entire area healing everyone and regaining their strength.
Lunanie: th-there...
Emilia: Lunanie!
Julius catches Lunanie before she falls.
Lunanie: oops heheh I-i must have used more than I thought.
Crusch: you can't use your up your mana so much like that. It will put you in serious danger.
Crusch: Felix please help her recover her mana.
Felix: of course Crusch.
Felix begins to heal Lunanie.
At that time everyone saw something fall from the portal. Around the figure where four smaller orb like objects. The figure was also killing demons as it fell down to the ground.
Priscilla: now what?
Anastasia: this cant be good.
The figure lands creating a small black cloud then, four hell hounds come out of the cloud killing several demons at once.
Crusch: an ally?
Lunanie:...is-is that?
The figure walks out and Lunanie sees it's her youngest daughter Lith.
Lunanie: LIIITH!!!
Emilia: Lith?
Julius: is that someone you know?
Lunanie: That's...That's my youngest daughter. LITH OVER HERE!!
Felt: Wait we don't know if she's friend or foe yet.
Lith: mom?
Lith runs over to Lunanie killing several demons in her path finally getting inside the barrier.
Lith: mom...are you ok?
Lunanie: mmhm!
Lunanie gets up and gives Lith a big hug.
Lunanie: I'm so happy you're back!
Lunanie begins to cry tears of joy and Lith cry's with her.
Lith: I'm so sorry mom...ive-I've done some unforgettable things.
Lunanie: it's ok. I'm just happy you're back.
Lith: you're tiered to. Here let me help recover your mana and strength.
Lith uses her ability to completely heal her mother at full strength in less that a minute.
Felix: how did?
Crusch: that was fast.
Lunanie: heheheh that's my girl.
Lith: th-that's embarrassing mom.
{Meanwhile with Alexander's team}
Alexander: Alright we have gotten one forth the way there.
Kajah: lets not stop.
Alexander: next though is Thanatos's area.
Thanatos: don't worry.
Subaru: GAH!
Kajah: Huh?
Alexander: Thanatos?
Thanatos: take the path to the left. You will find a hole I made leading out of my area into the next. It's a long path but you will run into nothing and will save you energy.
Alexander: brother...thank you?
Thanatos: mhm. Kajah.
Kajah: yes?
Thanatos: is that girl doing well?
Kajah: yes but we are trying to hurry. She's down there fighting in this war.
Thanatos: I see. Alexander.
Alexander: hm? The second wave of demons will be sent out soon. This wave is a lot stronger than the first.
Alexander: demon champions huh.
Thanatos: yes. I will aid the people down below.
Alexander: thank you brother.
Thanatos: of course. Kajah listen. I'm not looking for forgiveness because I know you probably can't but I will do what I can to ensure your friends are safe.
Kajah: thank you Uncle. And I do forgive you.
Thanatos: hm? thank you. You must be Subaru. Glad to meet you.
Subaru: y-yah heh. (He's Tall.)
Thanatos: I bid you all farewell and good luck.
Thanatos leaves and makes a hole leading out into the battlefield.
Thanatos: Kajah...thank you. For saving me. If not for you fighting me... I would have been your enemy now instead of your ally.
Thanatos jumps out going straight down to the battle.
Alexander: lets get going.
Kajah and Subaru: Right!
{back to the battlefield}
Lith: there's no end to them.
Crusch: so you say there's five waves?
Emilia: each stronger than the next?
Puck: hmmm this isn't gonna end well.
Priscilla: so are we fighting a losing war then?
Anastasia: hmmm I wouldn't say so?
Lith: it's definitely worth fighting.
Lunanie hugs Lith again making them both fall over.
Lith: GAH! M-Mom!!
Lunanie: *cute giggle*
Crusch: I see. I get it now.
Julius: hm? What's that Crusch?
Crusch: we are fighting to get Lunanie her family back. Don't forget.
Priscilla: This might come in our favor for sure.
Meanwhile Rem and Ram are still fighting however Ram is barley able to continue. Rem is trying her best to keep the barrier safe and her sister safe.
Rem: *panting heavily* m-must continue...HAAAA!!!
Ram: Rem...you're gonna over do it.
Rem and Ram both get surrounded and see no way out.
Rem: I...I won't die here.
Ram: Rem...I-I have no strength left.
Rem: that's...ok.
Rem holds Ram close.
Rem: I don't want it to end here...but...there's nothing left for us to do...there's just to many. (Kajah...I'm sorry.)
The demons charge and swarm them going for the kill but, all of a sudden a massive scythe goes around Rem and Ram several times killing all the demons around them.
Rem: wh-what?
Ram: was that?
They see the scythe return to a figure approaching them.
Rem: that...looked familiar.
Thanatos: I came in the right time then.
Rem: Th-Thanatos?!
Ram: do you know him?
Rem: we fought before. He's extremely powerful.
Thanatos: come I'll need you two to guide me to my mother Lunanie.
Rem: I see. Alright.
Thanatos picks both Rem and Ram up and carries them back to Lunanie by fallowing the direction Rem gave him.
Thanatos: this is it. I see my sisters hounds are here to.
Lith: Huh?
Lunanie: what wrong Lith?
Lith: my hounds are happy about something.
Lunanie: ooo lets see then teehee.
Everyone steps outside the camp to see Rem being carried and Ram on the back holding on to Thanatos.
Lunanie: THANATOS!!!
Lunanie runs over hugging his leg.
Lunanie: I'm so happy you came back!
Emilia: h-he's.
Priscilla: extremely
Anastasia: t-tall.
Lith: I'll help these two out.
Thanatos: thank you Lith.
Lunanie: will you be helping Thani?
Thanatos: of course mother. I had to help those two out. The one named Rem was priority for me.
Lunanie: *giggles* ah yes Kajah's girlfriend.
Thanatos: mhm. Now then.
Thanatos summons his Scythe.
Thanatos: lets even the battlefield a bit.
Thanatos walks out and in no time starts going to work killing hundreds of demons without even trying.
Thanatos: KNEEL BEFORE ME!!
Thanatos hurls his scythe killing several demons in the path of it. The demons weapons would only break upon contact with Thanatos's body.
Reinhard: what's going on over there?
Wilhelm: I'm not sure. Let us go see.
Aldebaran: lets.
The three guards go towards the mass murder of the demons to see one tall mans killing demons as if it was nothing.
Reinhard: he's fast.
Wilhelm: he's using that giant weapon as if it were paper.
Aldebaran: yah he's no one to mess with. He's...not in the challenge is he?
Wilhelm, Reinhard and Aldebaran go past Thanatos and head into the camp to recover.
Reinhard: Huh? Who's this?
Reinhard sees Lith without in her armor healing the wounded and helping in the camp.
Emilia: that is Lith. She's Lunanie's daughter just like that guy Thanatos is her son.
Aldebaran: well that explains who they are.
Wilhelm: that guy Thanatos has already killed more demons than either of us combined.
Reinhard: something tells me he's probably done this many times before.
Lith: yes actually he has.
Reinhard: oh I'm so sorry. Do forgive my rudeness.
Lith: oh teehee that's ok. yah Thanatos is known as the death god in our world. That's one of the reasons why father named him Thanatos. He could tell he would be very skilled and use a scythe.
Wilhelm: I see. So are there more?
Lith: yes actually there's Wrath and Elizabeth. Oh umm you will know when you see those two. Wrath is...well very Loud. He's known as the invincible God Wrath.
Julius: why does that sound bad.
Lith: well If he is on the enemy side yes it would be.
Lunanie: *happily giggles*
Puck: you sure are happy Lunanie.
Lunanie: I sure am Puck. My children are returning to me. I'm sure you would feel the same.
Puck: well your not wrong there.
Lith: I'll take time to get the wounded in here. I'll definitely need help getting people out of that battlefield.
Crusch: you six soldiers i need you to help Lith with getting people in here that's wounded. Don't worry about the demons. Our new friend Thanatos will keep them busy.
Soldiers: YES MAM!
Lith: great lets go.
Lith along with the six solders assigned to her began looking for any injured soldiers in the field.
Thanatos is still killing demons and not even getting tired from the massive amount of dead demons by his feet.
Priscilla: he sure is dependable.
Anastasia: that's for sure. He's kinda cute to heheh.
Priscilla: oh? (Well getting him on my side would be very beneficial to me.)
Crusch: don't get any ideas you two.
Priscilla and Anastasia: What??
Lunanie: teehee he's not taken sooo good luck girls.
{meanwhile with Alexander's team}
Alexander: this helps a lot.
Kajah: yah we haven't run into anything and this leads closer to the head he told us.
Kajah: if I'm right we seem to be facing everyone I fought in order.
Subaru: really?
Kajah: yah. First I fought Lith then me and Rem faced Thanatos. Then we faced-
As they came to the end and entered a massive room there was a Giant Demon Gollum waiting for them.
Subaru: what the hell is that?!
Alexander: a demon Gollum Huh.
Then two Orges cam out from behind them.
Kajah: Huh...how did they get here?
But the three monsters fell to their faces showing the back of their heads cut open.
Alexander: what?
Kajah: how did?
Subaru: they're...dead?
Wrath: hmph. Took you fools long enough.
Alexander: Wrath?
Wrath comes out of the shadows in his regular form.
Wrath: Kajah, Subaru. Long time no see kids.
Subaru: Wait...WRATH?!
Wrath: the one and only.
Kajah: thar...you?
Wrath: yah this is me without my armor. I look completely different huh.
Subaru: yah...
Wrath: now then go on and take that bastard down.
Alexander: that scar...
Wrath: don't worry about it. This is punishment for going against our dad.
Kajah: you got hurt?
Wrath: hah non sense. This is nothing. Kajah,Subaru.
Kajah and Subaru: yes??
Wrath: you two I have much respect for. You Kajah...you have to be the one to truly free Elizabeth. Except her challenge please.
Kajah: mhm.
Wrath: good. And thanks...for freeing me you two.
Wrath along his way out pats both Kajah and Subaru on the head. Now don't you two die heheh.
Kajah: heh no way I will. I have something to ask someone when I come back.
Subaru: and I made a promise not to.
Wrath: hm. Good. Oh how's that girl doing Kajah.
Kajah: Rem? She's doing great.
Wrath: that's good...I owe her an apology. I guess I'll go now to do so.
Wrath leaves but before he does he pats Alex's shoulder.
Wrath: thanks...for not giving up on us brother.
Alexander: why would I ever give up on my family.
Wrath: hm. You where always the strongest out of all of us.
Alexander: no...Carmella was.
Wrath:...right...well I must be off.
Wrath activates his demon armor. Kajah and Subaru are met with a familiar appearance.
Wrath: HAHAHAHAH TIME TO HAVE SOME FUN DOWN THERE!!!
Wrath punches the floor creating a massive hole leading out onto the battlefield.
Wrath: Remember kids DONT DIE!! HAHAHAHAH!!!!
Wrath jumps carelessly from an extremely high level into the battle.
Kajah: does that armor make him like that Uncle.
Alexander: yes. It's very different from his normal calm side huh.
Subaru that's for sure.
Alexander: well so far things have been going well. Let's keep moving and get to my father.
At the same time time on the battlefield everyone is recovering while Thanatos alongside some soldiers are easily killings the demons. Then the demons started coming more but different and stronger.
Thanatos: the second wave has begun.
Lith: that's the second wave...much stronger than the first.
Lunanie:...Thanatos.
Crusch: is he in danger?
Lith: no but these demons have harder skin to cut. Thanatos can't just easily toss his scythe anymore.
Crusch: I see.
Anastasia: here they come.
Priscilla: they are a lot bigger to.
Felt: hey look at that. Something is killing them as they fall.
Felix: another one?
Lith: Teehee that's Wrath.
Lunanie: *gasp* WRATH!!! OOOOH MY BABIES!!!
Wrath: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! THIS IS WHAT I LOVE!!!! THE WAR!!!
{Meanwhile with Elizabeth}
Elizabeth: (I want to fight this feeling in my heart but...I can't) Everyone else lost to Kajah but me...they all felt free yet-yet I still feel trapped...I have to fight him...I have to. Kajah...get ready because I'm not gonna let you go unless you can free me. I can't control myself...I'm not like you...Alex. (I don't have that strong will.)
