Quick, almost panicked footsteps were heard from upstairs, and they got louder as they approached and went down the stairs.
"GUYS" Kotsu said, panting.
Damu hummed, turning around.
"OKAY SO YOU KNOW HOW TIME HAS NO VALUE IN HELL"
Sev looked at him. "Hey why are you wearing your eyeliner, didn't we agree to save it for the fateful day that-"
"I JUST GOT TICKETS FOR A MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE CONCERT"
"HOLD ON I'M GETTING MY EYELINER"
Damu watched Sev run up the stairs like Usain Bolt, then exchanged glances with Dee. "..Concert??"
After a couple minutes, Sev was back down with her eyeliner on and some of the edgiest clothing she had. "WHAT ERA IS THE CONCERT IN"
"DANGER DAYS"
She screamed. "WHEN THE FUCK IS IT THEN"
"BITCH TIME ISN'T REAL LET'S FUCKING GO"
"DEE DAMU GET YOUR ASSES OFF THE COUCH WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR MARSO"
"Me?" Marso was standing by the doorway to the kitchen, pointing at himself in confusion.
"MARSO DO YOU WANNA GO TO A CONCERT"
Marso blinked. What's a concert?? "What?"
"A BUNCH PEOPLE PLAY MUSIC AND EVERYONE ELSE WATCHES"
"Ah," Marso looked away, thinking there might be too many people. He looked back up with a smile. "Sorry, I'll pass"
"Damn" Sev said, sighing. "Okay, if you're sure," Kotsu said then dragged Dee and Damu.
"WOAH WAIT WHAT ABOUT ASKING US??" Damu said, surprised and almost scared. Dee was scared too but has learned to just accept his fate.
"I'M CONSIDERATE ENOUGH FOR MARSO BUT YOU TWO HAVE NO EXCUSES YOU ALWAYS MAKE FUN OF ME FOR BEING EMO"
"WAIT SHIT" Dee started panicking as he realized what exactly they were being dragged into. Sev pushed them, leaving them with no at all escape as they left to go to Earth.

The rulers have the privilege of being able to travel to Earth, but it'll either be an alternate timeline or they'll have to make sure they stay unseen. They arrived in the alternate timeline.
Actually, speaking of unseen..
-
Marso saw Kaskan at one of the tables in the library. "Oh, hey Kaskan" He waved. Kaskan looked up. "Hey, Marso, right?" Marso nodded and sat across from him. He had a deck of cards in his hands.
"What are you doing?" He asked, looking at the odd designs on the cards. He recognized the 4 symbols used in hell, he also saw similar cards with Takeshi.
"Oh, these are cards, you can play games with them" Kaskan explained, spreading them out on the table with skill, like he's played with them a lot. "I'm trying to practice to beat Takeshi" and get my money back, he thought.
"Ooh.." Marso hummed, looking at the pretty cards. "Can I play?" He asked. Kaskan nodded. "Sure!"
Kaskan taught Marso how to play the games, and they hung out for a while while the other rulers were out at the concert.
"By the way, why are you called the unseen? I can see you," Marso said during one of their rounds. Kaskan laughed. "Okay, I'm going to close my eyes. Then, tell me what my eye color is."
Marso blinked. Weird. "Alright.." He complied anyway. Kaskan closed his eyes and Marso opened his mouth to answer, but then stopped himself and closed his mouth again, breaking a sweat. He stared at Kaskan, trying to remember. "..Uh..."
Kaskan laughed and opened his eyes again. "I'm not gonna lie, I've raided the kitchen while you were cooking and you didn't see me. No one can remember what I look like, not even my own sister" He laughed, but this time a bit airy, almost forced. Marso could tell he didn't like the fact no one remembered what he looked like. "I can also choose whether people can see me or not."
His eyes widened. "Wait, then is that why all the cookie batter kept disappearing??"
Kaskan snickered, back to being his usual happy self. Marso shook his head and hit Kaskan lightly with the box of the cards.
"OW! HEY!" He laughed. Marso laughed too.
----
Kotsu stood in the middle of the crowd, practically shaking. Sev was shaking too. The Chapu twins shared a glance, shaking their heads at the dumbasses they call friends.
Then there he was. The crowd screamed as the band they waited for came out. Kotsu yelled, jumping. Sev shrieked.
Dee winced, covering his ear. Damu muttered an ow but it wasn't even audible.
The drums started and Kotsu and Sev started looking at each other and yelling excitedly, knowing exactly what song it was. everyone was cheering. Dee and Damu just watched in silence.
"Well are you ready Ray?"
"Yeah"
"How 'bout you Frank?"
"All ready babe"
"How 'bout you Mikey?"
"Fuckin' ready"
"Well I think I'm alright. 1 2 3 GO!"
Kotsu's face was pink as he yelled the lyrics at the top of his lungs. Sev didn't notice him blushing though, she was too busy having a heart attack.
Damu did, however, and looked at Kotsu with that 👀, and Dee followed. They shared a glance again, grinning as they realized.
--
After the show, Damu put a hand on Kotsu's shoulder. "Hey, wanna go meet that singer? What was his name.. Gerald or something?"
Kotsu looked up, shocked. "Gerard, Gerard Way- But uh.. Why?" He was a bit nervous.
"I don't know, just kind of want to," He shrugged. Sev looked up. "Oh my God I think I'll die."

"Wait, I'm already dead- LET'S GO"
Kotsu jolted, waving his hands. "Uh, wa-wait guys, come on he's a busy man-"
"Kotsu, don't tell me.." Dee looked at him.
Damu continued with an enthusiastic grin. "Are you gay for Gerard Way??"
Kotsu's face flushed. "Uh, no.. I'm- I'm not gay-"
"You say that but when he was moaning before that one song your face was BRIGHT red." Kotsu shook his head. "No, I'm- I'm really not-"
"Then let's go meet hi-"
Before he could continue, Kotsu was already sliding down the stairs to get the fuck out of there. Damu laughed and highfived Dee.
Sev blinked. "Yeah I can't blame him. Gerard cute. Plus, I'm gay too."
Dee and Damu whipped around to look at her. "H-"
