I walked into the computer room where Crescentia and the tech guy Jemusu were.
'Ok, we're nearly in,' Jemusu said distantly.
I walked over and looked at the computer screen which was full of complicated links.
'3...2...1!' Everyone cheered as the image of the video of me addressing everyone in Hell appeared on everyone's screen.
I raced out of the room to the portal and ran to Anri.
'ANRI!' I yelled excitedly.
She opened the door instantly, wearing a big grin on her face.
'You did it!' She exclaimed happily.
'AMBROSIA!' I heard Azurewrath yell from a few floors down.
'Hide!' Anri whispered urgently to me.
I nodded and looked around quickly for a hiding place until I settled on hiding under the desk.
'WHERE IS SHE?!' I watched Azurewrath stomp up to Anri angrily.
'Where's who?' She asked sweetly.
'AMBROSIA!' He yelled in her face.
I smiled a secret smile to myself as Azurewrath yelled on and on to myself.
'Oh, you saw the propaganda shoot? Yeah, it's terrible isn't it?' Anri lied.
Azurewrath looked around in case I was somewhere in the hallway.
'Since she's not here, any ideas on where she could be?' He asked Anri.
She shook her head as he became angrier.
'Let me know when you see that... that... thing,' he instructed her.
'Ok,' Anri nodded.
I watched from my hiding place as Azurewrath stormed down the hallway, muttering profanities as he walked off.
'Can I come back out?' I asked Anri.
She slammed the door shut, 'yeah you can.'
I crawled out from under the desk and stood up in front of her, wary of the scorch marks left from where Azurewrath was stood in the doorway.
'I'm not telling him shit,' Anri said in the same tone of voice Azurewrath used when he spoke to her.
'Knock, knock,' someone said.
Anri opened the door to reveal a man that looked like Hikari.
'Shigoku, what's the matter?' Anri asked him.
'You need to see this,' he said.
We followed him down the corridor to the computer room and a screen loomed in front of us.
'What is this?' I asked him while looking up at the screen.
Shigoku pressed a few buttons and the screen suddenly switched to Metal City.
In flames.
I pushed him out of the way and moved the screen about to get a better view.
'They're on their way to here,' I told them,'get everyone ready.'
They nodded and ran out to the troops waiting for the call to attack.
The war had begun at long last.
