Despite Flos bellowing out a rather impressive bellow to silence the masses, Mephilius didn't even flinch. Perhaps a hint of insanity has begun to grasp his mind, and even if it hadn't yet it wouldn't take too long before Hell corrupts him. After explaining the hint of "newsworthy material" to the Angel, he attempts to continue walking around the dungeons to hear the screams of agony echoing across the halls. That was when Flos' asked the Hell Knight to elaborate on what he meant and he slowly stopped. He paused for a second before turning towards the captor's direction and only gave a devilish smirk.

[b][color=9e0b0f]"Oh, how I can only give you so much..."[/color][/b] he replies with a mocking tone, [b][color=9e0b0f]"Isn't it obvious? I suppose I might as well mention that Hell has turned into an Oligarchy. And who are the others beside Rufus? That you'll have to see for yourself. For now, sit back and watch the ceiling for a few more years..."[/color][/b]

And with that, Mephilius simply walks away into the dungeon without saying another word...

Before the azure demoness would respond to Marie, they would be greeted by another new demon... this one taking the form of a bee. She was an interesting character to behold but also seemed confused that Hell is now ruled by an oligarchy as well. Of course, this also led the demoness, who calls herself Absinthe, to tell them of what happened. Her pompous nature was... not necessarily the best fit of personality for her and even the tale might've been a bit exaggerated, but then again who really knew. She certainly didn't. Yet regardless, the rise of the "The Big Four" is undoubtedly true as she later finds out from within. 

[b][color=ed1c24]"I see..."[/color][/b] she replies to the azure demoness as she takes out her cigarette holder, [b][color=ed1c24]"Well I must be going now. Apparently I hear that there's a battle coming up soon and I'm already hot and heavy for some action. Ta ta to you both."[/color][/b]

With that, she enters the throne room and realigns her contract with Hell.

[/center]

The portal to the battlefield took Marie and the rest of the demons down to a catacombs. It became blatantly obvious that they will fight in a graveyard. After Victoire gave her little speech to the other demons that are participating, the bounty hunter tips her hat and slides into the darkess as well. If she's going to get sneaky with this, she'll need to try and find a nice hiding spot in which to find and eliminate her opponents. Until she can get out of the catacombs, she relies on the darkness to her advantage, hiding in the shadows and ready to strike at any foe that awaits from within...

If no one is able to catch her, she escapes to the surface and attempts to sneak around for a fresh bounty.

Despite the crippling depression and anger about Rufus that brought the Ice Lich to his knees, Ghelgath didn't say submitted for long. He eventually decided that he can release his anger and frustation upon his foes, which after all he hasn't been in a battle since Arcadia. That sounded healthy to him. The best part about the battlefield here... is that there's plenty of snow and ice to go around. He's finally in his proper element and not just locked up in his artificially created ice castle in the cooler regions of Hell. Fun times are surely to be had then.

[b][color=A5F2F3]"Ehehehe..."[/color][/b] he snickers coldly as his right fist is pumped with freezing ice, [b][color=A5F2F3]"Let's go freeze some bastards."[/color][/b]

As Victoire announces her speech and leaves into the shadows, the Ice Lich also takes his leave as he enters another catacomb leading to the surface. Once he has control of the ice, he can summon his own army to take on the Angellic and Machina forces. All he hopes is that it won't end horribly like last time...
