(Y/n) looked at the Charred Council, his yellow eyes glowing brightly as he glared at them. He wanted to lash out, to start firing at those glowing stone monuments, but he knew, that if he did that, they would incinerate him. Without much choice, he holstered his pistols and knelt down beside War.

(Y/n): Why are you chained up?

War: By order of the council, I was to be restrained until you arrived, and I dare say that you have taken your time getting here. It has only taken you three years, since your arrival. And I was only imprisoned two years ago, when I arrived in this strange world.

(Y/n) spun on his heels, looking at the three burning monuments of stone.

(Y/n): TWO YEARS?! YOU IMPRISONED WAR FOR TWO YEARS?! WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!

The stone monument on the left, which boasted a pair of curved horns flared up more brightly. A gout of fire erupted from its mouth, missing (Y/n) by mere inches.

Charred Council3: MIND YOUR TONGUE STRIFE! IT WAS YOU WHO ARRIVED FIRST, AND YOU IGNORED OUR CALL, OR MAYBE YOU DID NOT HEED IT! IF YOU HAD, YOUR BROTHER WOULD HAVE BEEN FREED SOONER!

Charred Council2: BUT NOW THAT YOU ARE HERE, YOUR BROTHER WILL NOW BE FREED!

There came a sound of chains splintering. (Y/n) spun around, to find that War was no longer suspended by the chains. (Y/n) rushed to his brother's side, trying to support him as his weight came crashing down. Then (Y/n) froze, war became consumed by an orange flame and shrunk down, his frame becoming less bulky. When the flames had passed (Y/n) found himself looking at the face of his Cousin. Troy.

(Y/n): Troy?

(Y/n): Troy?

Troy: You know this face, brother?

(Y/n): Brother, Troy, we're cousins. It's me, (Y/n).

(Y/n) was consumed by a black and red flame and shrunk down, revealing his human form. Troy's blue-white eyes went wide. (Y/n) noticed that the mark on his brow had remained with him, even in his human form, much like how the markings on his own shoulders remained.

(Y/n) helped get Troy to his feet, then they were both overcome by a rush of energy that surged into their bodies. Their forms once again shifted, returning them to their Horsemen forms.

Charred Council1: YOU HAVE ANSWERED OUR CALL AND NOW, WE GRANT YOU THE POWER TO UPHOLD THE BALANCE!

Charred Council2: NOW, IT IS TIME TO ANSWER YOUR CALLING!

Charred Council3: THE DEVIL KING HAS GROWN TO POWERFUL, AND HIS GRIP UPON THIS WORLD IS ALMOST ABSOLUTE! YOUR TASK TO HUNT DOWN HIS GENERALS AND ELIMINATE THEM IN THE NAME OF THE BALANCE! AND THEN YOU SHALL IN TURN HUNT DOWN THE DEVIL KING HIMSELF, AND SEND HIM BACK TO HIS PIT OF HELL!

War: What of Death and Fury?

(Y/n): Wait, they're here too?

War: Yes. Death was here, he was present when they chained me here, and Fury watched, mocking me as it happened.
