Chapter 588: Hell Exploration Arc Wrap-Up

Chapter 588: Hell Exploration Arc Wrap-Up

Narrator: Sasha’s battle against Lavana has just concluded!

Zeth: You accept us as your leaders?

Lavana: Yes.

Sasha: I can say that I see the potential in you. Very well. I accept you.

Dusk: That power you used… You didn’t use that against me.

Herbie: So, you were even holding back against us…

*Herbie and Dusk look at Zeth*

Herbie: What about you?

Dusk: Were you holding back too?

Zeth: Oh, I have that same power that Sasha unleashed. It’s called Soul Power.

Dusk: Amazing! I must get to training if I want to keep up!

Sasha: Let’s get out of here. I think it’s time we go back.

***

Narrator: Later.

*Zeth and Sasha stand at an exit portal to leave Hell as Lavana, Herbie, and Dusk look at them*

Lavana: You’re really going back already?

Sasha: Yes. Until I become Dark Goddess, I will continue to only live in Heaven.

*Herbie, Dusk, and Lavana get on their knees*

Herbie: We all have pledged our support to you.

Dusk: If you need us, we’ll be there.

Lavana: And we’ll get stronger so that we can properly serve you.

*Zeth and Sasha smile*

Sasha: We’ll be counting on you.

*The three demons then nod*

Zeth: All right, we’re off.

*Zeth and Sasha go into the portal and it closes*

Lavana: I guess we better get to work.

*She looks at the other two*

Lavana: We’re going to be training partners. I hope you’re ready!

Dusk: I don’t know about this guy, but I know I am. This guy would just get his plants cooked by your lava.

Herbie: Shut it! Of course, I’m ready!

***

Narrator: In Heaven.

*Zeth and Sasha meet with Harmona and Zaydra (who has an eye patch over her right eye socket)*

Harmona: So how was exploring Hell?

Sasha: It went great! We saw some interesting places, met three new allies, and I learned some new things about myself.

Zaydra: Learned something new about yourself?

Zeth: You will have to hear the whole story.

Harmona: All right. Tell us about it.

Narrator: Zeth and Sasha explained the whole story.

*Harmona puts her hand up to her chin and thinks*

Harmona: The Creature Deity, huh? Not Deity “of” Creatures. Just Creature Deity.

Zaydra: There’s a distinction?

Harmona: Yes, one that would be the “Deity of Creatures” would be someone who is a deity representing the creatures while the “Creature Deity” would be an actual creature. That’s at least how I see it.

Zaydra: But how? Sasha is simply a dark divine being. She’s not a creature.

Harmona: Look, I don’t know how it works. That’s just the best explanation I can come up with.

*Zeth looks like he is thinking. The others look at him*

Sasha: What is it?

Zeth: Back during my final battle with Korobu, he mentioned someone that he called the “Abyss Deity”. He didn’t say Deity of Abysses. Just Abyss Deity. Perhaps this is similar to that.

Zaydra: This is making my head hurt.

Sasha: It’s not really that important so we don’t have to think too hard about it.

Harmona: Yes, let’s just put it aside for now.

***

Narrator: Later.

*Still in Heaven, Zeth and Sasha meet with Joe, Emily, Kurt, and Keith*

Emily: Great timing! We had been discussing about having a party down in Kunasha.

Joe: Are you guys in?

*Zeth looks surprised*

Zeth: What’s the occasion?

Kurt: We never really got to have a proper celebration for the end of the war. So what better time to do that than the present?

Zeth: But why in Kunasha?

*Keith pats Zeth’s head and then puts his arm around Zeth’s shoulder while grinning*

Keith: Because what better place to hold it than the city that you grew up in?

Sasha: No need to be so questioning, Zeth.

Zeth: Okay, okay. I’m in. So when is it?

Emily: It will be tonight.

Zeth: Okay. Sounds good.

Sasha: We’ll see you guys there.

Joe: We’ll go get it all set up.

Kurt: We’ll let you know when everything is ready. Try to wear something nice

*They all smile*

Zeth: Will do.

***

Narrator: That night.

*A lot of people are gathered inside a large gymnasium-like room enjoying the party. Everyone is wearing nice-looking clothes*

*Zeth, Sasha, Kurt, Emily, Joe, and Keith are all gathered. Zeth, Kurt, Joe, and Keith are all wearing black tuxedos. Sasha is wearing a red dress. Emily is wearing a blue dress. They are drinking glasses of wine*

Joe: So what do you think of the party so far?

Zeth: It’s great! It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten to celebrate something in Kunasha.

Keith: And then there’s me who has never celebrated anything in Kunasha. Haha!

Emily: Kunasha is a pretty great place so I’m glad you are getting to experience a party here.

Kurt: This is a great building to host the party too.

*Sasha looks at Zeth*

Sasha: So, how about a dance?

Zeth: I’d love to.

*Zeth and Sasha get close and have their arms wrapped around each other as they start doing a slow dance while they smile, looking into each other’s eyes*

Zeth: We don’t get to dance like this often, huh?

Sasha: No, we don’t, so I’m glad we are now… I love you, Zeth.

Zeth: I love you too, Sasha.

***

*The view zooms out to the city of Kunasha. Then to a view of the entirety of Harmone. Then a view of the entirety of the Earth*

Narrator: The heroes celebrate the end of the war. Peace on Earth has been achieved. All of their life and deaths problems have been solved and they can go back to having a normal life.

*The view then zooms out more to show the entire solar system. Then it zooms out to show the entire galaxy*

Narrator: But, is there more out there? The heroes overcame the Dark Goddess Dakame, but could there be threats out there in the galaxy that could surpass even Dakame? Only time will tell.

END OF ARC

Arc Completed: July 14th, 2020

As a major note for the next arc, I actually wrote it out in both a movie format and as a chapter by chapter format. I've been debating with myself which version to post. I have been leaning toward posting the movie format version as I think it flows better. I will be posting it in multiple parts and will post one part a day. Anyway, this next arc is called "The Martian Inquisition" and it was teased and referenced in the epilogue of the first BTS story in Chapter 573. Now, it's time to see the events of that arc play out. It's time to jump ahead 14,000 years!
