      There's a bell sound followed by the elevator door opening. The demons walk out excitedly as they prepared to wreck havoc to that floor as well. As the ensemble walks out, a small flustered angel walks out with them as well. Modeus gives her one final peck on the cheek but the angel's eyes only looked lifeless as she fumbled to the corner and crawled into a ball.

      "I can never get married now..." Eden monotonously said before muttering a prayer.

       Zdrada stretched as she scanned the area, thinking of possible ways to make a mess. Cerberus rushed to tackle a pillar with a fragile and expensive looking vase on top but Pandemonica pulled her collar and pointed towards the corridor.

        "Need I remind you, we're here to save somebody?" The Tired Demon sighed. "We haven't been efficient at all, I wouldn't be surprised if Helltaker was balls deep into an angel right now..."

       "No way, you saw what Modeus did to the pipsqueak, they probably won't allow it till a marriage ceremony or something..." Malina said.

       "And if Helltaker is desperate enough..." Pandemonica added.

       Malina's eyes widened at the thought of a ceremony. "Ah **** we gotta hurry."

       The demons nodded as they headed deeper into the palace corridor, opening random doors and trying to find a way to a higher level. It seems as though the entire building was as bigger than they thought, spending a good amount of time wandering around. And there were periodical grumbles from the higher floors which meant something was definitely happening.

      At last after what seemed like ages, they come across a...long...spiral...staircase.

     "Ty sobie jaja ze mnie chyba robisz...(You gotta be kidding me...) " Malina said under her breath

"Well then..." Modeus sighed. "Let's go."

They weren't looking forward to it, but they had no choice. The demons one-by-one started climbing up the stairway, unenthusiastic about the journey that they had to take.

But just before Cerberus, who was going last, would follow them up. Her noses wiggle when she catches scent of something. And like that thing in cartoons where some lady puts a pie out the window and the character comedically floats towards the scent, Cerberus strays away from the group in search of this.

The scent brings the Triple Demon into a room in the palace. It was bright and spacious, though the walls were decorated with silver and gleaming with crystals it still had a childish feel to it. And in the middle of the room, an Angel had noticed the demon arrive.

"Oh hello." Rafaela, the Benevolent Angel smiles, she had her hands on a plate of freshly made...dog biscuits? "Ah, the doggie."

Cerberus stares momentarily at the angel as she processes her next course of action:

Food:Yummy—> Angel:Bad —> Do:Attack!

In a split second, Cerberus turned feral. She stood on all fours, fusing back into a hound. She barked before dashing towards her. The angel remained unfazed as she only stared.

Just before Cerberus could get the jump on her, the angel pulls out a squeaky toy. She squished it once which followed a squeak, the Hound stops on her tracks and stares confoundedly.

"Sit...?" Rafaela says reluctantly. But the demon obliges out of instinct.

"Roll over?" The angel does it again, and once again, Cerberus does so. This brings a chuckle to the angel's face. She puts down the plate of treats which Cerberus quickly mauls.
