There at a place, where it was a ghost town and has a large hole in it, the 4 sacred beasts gather. It was also about 6 pm there, where sunset falls into the place, and a storm was brewing above due to the gathering of sacred beasts.
"Jake burns, we are now going to test you whether you shall be worthy or not." Dragna
The azure dragon, the white tiger, the black tortoise, and the vermillion bird was present along 4 points of the hole.
"Like what now?!" Jake
"Sorry about this jake, we mean no harm, but we need to do this for the upcoming crisis." Dragna
"Why? And whats gonna happen to me? And where am i?" Jake
"You are currently at the kola borehole, at north eastern russia." Said a voice inside his head
"You will soon know why once you pass the test." Dragna said as she transforms
When dragna transformed, and as jake almost fell into the big hole, the 5 of them concentrated their powers on jake, which had jake float towards inside the hole. Thus combining the effects of the powers of the sacred beasts and the effects of the borehole, one can hear the voices of hell as he hangs from life ang death, again. And while jake was somewhat restrained by the 5 of them towards the bottom of the borehole, jake was also emitting lightning all over.
"Welcome back jake burns, to hell that is." Satan
He was now back at the astral plane, though this time, he is in the demon throne room where he was surrounded by the demons.
"What is this?! Why am i here?!" Jake said, unable to bring out the lightning within him
"Dont fret about it jake, you were just sent here just to talk with us probably." Satan
"Since you have a shield and everything, which means that you are protected from any harm while in the astral plane." Lucifer
"Now boy, tell us, is earth really worth it?" Astaroth
"Have a seat boy." Beelzebub said as a chair was made from the ground
"I mean, the people are living in it are, you know.. Filled with assholes and bitches." Lilith said smiling
"For the moment, my answer will always be, that im only here to protect my family. Protecting everyone else is just a bonus." Jake said as he sat
"Good answer, but not good enough. There will always be people who will try to harm your family, and depending on politics, your family will also become a bagaining chip for you to do ones bidding. What can you say about that?" Lucifer
"What i can say is that i will accept the job, depending on what it might be. Though i somewhat believe that there is good and fear in a person, which is why they avoid the most least desirable action." Jake
"And what might that action be?" Lilith
"Angering me. After all, with great power comes with great responsibility and sacrifice." Jake
"Whew, those were deep words there jake. But what exactly can you do if you have no power at all to stop them from destroying earth? You even said after all, people build and make what they like, and destroy what they dont." Satan
"Just like what you did with general bruce, you were powerless to even protect your own student." Lilith
"As for my student, i will deal with her my way, since there is still a way to handle the situation. Besides, its her decision and resolve to be a representative of the US, in her own way. As for destroying the earth, i wont let that happen on my watch." Jake
