Chapter 15 - Part 19

Long ago an unexpected battle between the devil, and a kid was about to begin. The imp type demon was so angry, he knew he stood no chance, but he didn't care.

Sylvester looks at the dust cloud as it starts to clear up. He sees Maestro standing over Arkset as lies unconscious. He was breathing heavy from the fight. Now that it was over, Maestro took deep breaths to catch his breath as he stares at Arkset. Sylvester walked up to congratulate Maestro on his victory, and told him that they can now fully cross the bridge. Maestro nodded then the two started to walk across.

As they were walking, Sylvester started talking about his younger days. Stating how his powers was too much for the demons in underworld, and knew he had to leave. It was that moment he had met Arkset. The two of them bonded over their mischievous mindsets. Sylvester stated to Maestro how they decided to travel hell together. However, they ran into some demons that caused them to split up. That's when he realized he had ended up in purgatory.

Maestro was trying to keep up with the details, but was getting confused. Sylvester then summed it up by stating that once him, and Arkset had got together again, they had found this place. He points outwards, and Maestro looks where he's pointing. He was astonished, and lost for words seeing a crater in the ground with blue glowing lines surging through it. Like roots that was separated from a tree. Sylvester laughs seeing Maestro's speechless reaction. He waves his hands as he calls this area the place of miracles.

He explained to Maestro that the crater was caused by a star. Maestro was shocked hearing this as he didn't know hell had stars. Sylvester replied that it doesn't. That the star had to have came from earth. Him, and Arkset had the same thought. Arkset knew that it couldn't have came from any part of hell, and Sylvester heard rumors of stars being on earth. Although he had no idea they would be this big. It was about the same size as a golem. The two of them then started to mess around with the star. Eventually they found out about it's gravitational abilities. After that Sylvester had gotten the idea to use the star's powers to travel up to earth. Arkset laughed at him then stated that his idea was dumb. That they would just be wasting time due to earth not having anything to offer. Arkset then suggested that they should use the star to take over hell. Sylvester responded that his idea was even worse than his own. Stating that they wouldn't last long in purgatory. Arkset got upset, then rebutted that they could just take over everywhere else then come back with an army. Sylvester tried to get his input in but was cut off by Arkset still talking. Stating that once they do finally take over purgatory they'll be able to consume all the devil bones, and truly be unstoppable.

Sylvester looked at him as if he was crazy, but looking at the star he knew actually why. However, he couldn't allow him to pursue this path. He surrounded Arkset in a cloud of green smoke. Arkset was confused, and the many illusions within the smoke made it even worse. Sylvester used this time to run towards the star. He leaped up as high as he could off the edge of the crater. While falling down he fully engulfed his fist in green smoke as he yelled out loudly. After hitting the star at full power it cracked in half. Sylvester smiled menacingly seeing that he actually broke the star. He then created clones of himself out of his green smoke. With the help of his clones, Sylvester had ran off with half of the star. By that time Arkset was finally able to escape the smoke, but Sylvester was already gone.

After hearing Sylvester's story, Maestro asked him what he did with his half. Sylvester answered that he used it to get to earth. Maestro paused for a moment. Taking a deep breath while staring at the crater. Maestro then asked if they went through all of that just to see this. Sylvester laughed then responded that they went through all that for a shortcut. He starts sliding down the side of the crater. Maestro was hesitant at first, but followed shortly after. Once they had reached the bottom, Sylvester told Maestro that he knows something about the star that even Arkset doesn't know. Stating that he was able to figure out how the star got to hell.

Maestro looked around confusingly then asked how this was a shortcut since the star was now gone. Sylvester grabbed his hand, and placed it on one of the blue lines surging into the ground. He grabs the same line, and tells Maestro to concentrate on their next destination. Maestro paused for a second then took a deep breath. He closed his eyes with Sylvester closing his shortly after. Suddenly the blue line started to glow brighter. They start to hear a cracking noise which caused them to open their eyes. They see the ground crack like shattered glass as they fall through a portal. Maestro tumbles on the ground, but Sylvester rolls then lands on all fours. After the two got up, Sylvester congratulated Maestro on his success. Telling him that they have made it to purgatory.
