Chapter 91 Welcome to Tartarus

"You virtues who are able to battle please head along to face the reaper who is causing the end of the world please enter the rift and go save the others" said Gheist as he begged me especially to go I went Grey, Dante, and Ken following me the rest were hurt or dead. We went into the rift and when we appeared the world was clearly different as the reaper snuck up on us he grabbed my gauntlet off my arm using ink. I turned behind me and used a chop grasping air he jumped back with the gauntlet before disappearing. "hell cast!" said Reaper as he casted us into the same hell as Ford and them but we weren't bound we were just left to suffer. 

Reaper needed time as he gained power from all the gauntlet unbalancing the earth and with his magic allowing him to construct the world the way he wants. The plates started to shift more into his own design as the Leviathan acted as the final boss for this end of world scenario each plate had a staircase on them somewhere on the plate which made it go to a next plate that's the first thing he constructed then he constructed a plate 0 a very top of the world where he placed a throne for himself. He watched the red stars fall from the very top. We would be having to go up around 300 floors of stairs for this just to reach the most evil man in the world. Then we would have to face him somehow and win. Origami, Locke, War, and Death had headed back same for Tozen and Bunny who have seen the world now in it's animated state then turned to this hellish world. The new world as it is he has named it Tartarus though. I grabbed my knife from my pocket the one I looted off Zandert and cut the ropes tying Ford, Akita, and Sour face "your our allies now we need to defeat the reaper" I said The first one to speak up was unexpected "I agree and I'm sorry for all I've done" Ford said.

Ford's choices up to now have been one not of a loyal person while it was mainly selfish and caused issues his actions have been deriving of trauma losing the man once considered his only guardian Dragon he had nowhere to turn to so he cut himself off but felt a seek for power as well he also decided to find a way to betray the reaper which was his main goal after Dragon's death  everything went downhill after that singular event.

"Ford in due time your sin will be gone!" I spoke out "it was a curse anyway! I was forced into it by the devil who forced me to go through experiments just like the others eventually I started to hate what normal people were doing  almost threw up from just seeing normal civilization once my greed is gone though it will be given to someone else" Said Ford.

Gheist was in trouble as his fight had him in a disadvantage no arm made it hard for any attack to land and he was restricted by an ore which touched him he would likely get his powers back in time but still for now he was dead meat. As he rushed trying to get an attack in the Devil grabbed Ford's blade stabbing the stomach of Gheist. A knife slashed his side as he fell over in pain the Devil licked the blade of it's blood. Gheist realized something the way he could prevail he jumped back up as he walked towards Devil staring at him. The devil went to slash him Gheist jumped over him smashing his leg into the head of the devil dropping him down Gheist bent down and as the devil went to stab his face Gheist bit the blade tugging it towards him. He bit the handle while he did that he bit a finger of the Devil. Grabbing the blade he cut the mask completely off the devil. "You? You did this Yu Mishima" Gheist said.

Yu was a classmate of Gheist they were teammates in the army  they spent time training and working together when one day they were casted into a hell by a special being an maneater worm which when they killed it exploded due to being from trickery from a enemy known as an ouroboros the original sin group. Casted into hell that's where Yu Mishima was killed or bled out if he was taken into the day he would have bled out but somehow he stood before him alive right here.

"So you didn't die!" Gheist smiled as tears rolled down his face. "I still need to slay you  I don't care what past you think we have!" Yu says he had forgotten everything he seems to have used Sloth's power to lose all his humanity and forget everything. Yu went towards Gheist. Gheist crouched down dropping the blade in the dirt it plummeted from the stages they were set on on top of the mountains they were facing hitting the ground it copied the reaper's hell someone was going down into there. The blade dropped into the hell as well Ford obtained his blade again but it hit him in the head bonking him. Gheist was gonna finish him off here as he stood crouched down he jumps kicking but his attacks were blocked by the hands of Yu. "you use to be so cool what happened to you!" Screamed out Gheist  a flashback of Yu with white hair and a white kimono on is what Gheist remembers he was also a heavy smoker maybe it's where General Death got it from. As the kicks are blocked Gheist runs behind Yu and dropkicks him knocking him off balance and forcing him to fall down as he is about to enter the hell his head is smashed like a dropped pumpkin from hitting the dirt then he falls into the hell. He died on impact but it didn't save anyone as the devil died the sins currently under his control were released there powers gone with it. But the sins affinity would eventually find another. Gheist sat in the wind as it picked up in his hair. 

Gheist couldn't help anyone right now with his terrible state he was in he needed healing if anything lightning appeared shocking his wounds protecting him from blood loss as he laid down he wouldn't die he would live.
