Goetia Palace.

After Jessie, or Saber Thorn, brought down the hammer of rage upon the goetias, practically almost everyone is in a complete disbelief or distraught state.

Inside the palace, the goetias are a mess. Paimon is still dead, Octavia is in a distraught state with her feathers in a disarray from the electrical pulse, her mother is in the same state but more angry if anything, while Stolas is battered, and bruised. Despite that, he's currently comforting his daughter. Andrealphus is- wait... where was he during all that?

Well, that'll have to wait. Now we cut to an angry Stella angrily pacing back and forth as she angrily tries to formulate a proper full sentence.

"That little- he had the audacity to- fucking ornery fuck- when I find him, I'm gonna-"

"Is he gone?" Andrealphus asks, popping his head out from behind one of the curtains by the windows on the opposite side of the room where Saber Thorn didn't blast any holes in.

Stella looked at her older brother in absolute fury, and disbelief.

"Have you seriously been hiding there this WHOLE! FUCKING! TIME?!" Stella screamed angrily.

"W-Well yes, b-but I had to! You saw what that thing did to Paimon! He could've done that to me!" Andrealphus tried to defend.

"HE COULD'VE DONE THAT TO US TOO, YOU STUPID ASS UNDERCOOKED TURKEY SHIT FUCK!!! YOU COULD'VE JUST FROZE HIM IN PLACE, BUT NO!!! YOU DECIDE TO BE THE USELESS ARROGANT COWARDLY BITCH BOY YOU WERE BORN ASS!!!" Stella yelled angrily at the top of her lungs.

Andrealphus said nothing as he shrunk back from his sister's outburst.

Sniffling can be heard, and the two bird demons turned their attention to Octavia, who's being held by her father as she cries.

"He really does hate us." Octavia whimpered.

"Oh, Via, no he doesn't." Stolas reassured.

"Yes he does! He stabbed uncle Andy's hand! He decapitated Grandpa! He blasted you through a wall! He electrocuted Mom and I, and he just fucking left!" Octavia sobbed at the end.

Stolas rubbed her back in a comforting manner before he reassured her.

"No, Via, he doesn't hate you. If anything, he hates the rest of us. He doesn't hate you, sweetie. Besides, that thing wasn't really Jessie. It was just a monster in his head." Stolas explained calmly to his broken-hearted daughter.

"As much as I don't want to agree with your father, Octavia, but... he's right. That thing wasn't Jessie. Just a monster we created by accident." Stella said.

"So what do you plan to do now?" Andrealphus asked.

"YOU BE QUIET!!!" Stella snapped at her brother.

Andrealphus yelped like a balloon squeak, and went back to hiding behind the curtain.

"If we want to get our child back, we must first figure out how to expel Saber Thorn out of him. Once we do, we bring him back, and discipline him to the point where he'll be the most obedient son I never had, and the most loving brother Octavia has ever had. He'll never leave us again." Stella plotted out loud, giving an evil smirk at the end.

...

Back outside the palace gates, the whole group from earlier is still there. Blitzo included... but he's burnt to a crisp, and dead.

Verosika, and her succubi posse, were planning on what to do now that Jessie, or Saber Thorn, is on the run again. The succubus pop-star didn't want this deal she made with the imp girl go to waste.

Loona had a distraught saddened look on her face. She had just watched her pet turned monster completely fry her adoptive dad to death! She can't believe that Blitzo had just died like that in front of her. She wasn't sure what to think about this. She wasn't sure if chasing down Jessie was even worth it anymore.

Millie was distraught as well, but she had tears running down her face as she silently cried. She had just lost her baby again. Only this time, he turned into a monster, and leaped away like the Incredible Hulk. Moxxie of course trying to comfort Millie the best way he can right now, and it's just hugging her as she continued to stare off where she saw her precious baby go.

"It's going to be ok, Millie. We'll get him back for you, and it'll be ok." Moxxie said, being supportive.

"...H-How?..." Millie asked, just above a whisper.

"I... don't know. Maybe we can have Loona or Vortex track him?" Moxxie suggested.

"What?! No way in hell am I tracking down that maniac!" Vortex exclaimed angrily.

"What?!" Verosika and the succubi exclaimed, surprised to hear this from the hellhound.

"What do you mean you won't track him?!" Verosika demanded.

"What else does it mean?! I'm not tracking down a maniac that has nothing to do with ANY OF YOU! I'm not risking my neck or ass just so you can make him your fuck toy!" Vortex vented angrily.

"Well I'm your BOSS!!! So YOU do I what I tell you to do, and I'm telling you to track down Jessie! RIGHT. NOW." Verosika demanded.

"Is tracking him even worth it anymore?" Loona spoke up, her voice sounding hopeless.

"What?" Moxxie questioned.

"Is it really worth it now? To track down someone who will only get us hurt, or killed? Someone that wants nothing to do with us? Especially the monster he's turned into? In case you haven't noticed, but he just fried my dad! I don't even know what I'm doing anymore!" Loona vented in frustration.

"He's my baby..." Millie said just above a whisper so everyone can still hear.

"What?" Verosika questioned.

"He's my baby... I want my baby back... but that monster isn't my baby." Millie said, still staring off towards where Saber Thorn was last seen.

"You're still here?... I suppose that's good in this situation." Stella spoke up as she approached them.

"What do you want?" Verosika asked rudely.

"I have a proposition for you. If I can find a solution to expel the beast within the boy, we can work out a deal so we all can keep him to ourselves." Stella proposed.

Everyone, except for Vortex, looked at each other in a thinking matter, and looked back at Stella suspiciously.

"How do we know you won't cross us?" Verosika asked with suspicion in her tone.

"It's either you accept my proposal, or you lose that kid to the monster he's become." Stella stated firmly.

The girls remained silent as they weren't sure if they should take the deal.

"I'll give you all a minute to process." Stella said as she walked back into the palace.

"Stolas! Your impish fuck toy is dead on the pavement!" Stella called out as she walked back inside.

"WHAT?!" Stolas exclaimed loudly.

Even though he's inside the palace, everyone could hear him yell out in shock and worry from outside.

Stolas suddenly rushed outside like a speedster, and stops to see a charred corpse that once was Blitzo.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU MY BLITZY?!?!" Stolas screamed in horror as he held the fried body of Blitzo before sobbing uncontrollably.

Pentagram City.

Pentagram City. The prime city in hell's pride ring that's home to sinners.

Sinners are demons that were once human in life, and have gone to hell once they've died. Once they appear here by either falling or just appearing out of nowhere like a ghost, their once human appearances change to match whatever aspects that were once part of their life when they were alive. Some resemble animals, monsters, and sometimes appear more human than others while still having some differences.

Others are just straight up amalgamations.

Speaking of which...

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Skreeeeeeeeeeeoooooooonk!

(Play music up top)

A powerful roar can be heard echoing in the distance. In fact, it was loud enough to catch the attention of many sinners that were out on the streets of the city.

None knew what it was. Some were curious, while others just didn't care, and everyone went back to what they were doing.

Meanwhile, a large white figure can be seen running along the rooftops, and leaping from one roof to another like the Incredible Hulk.

That figure, is Saber Thorn.

Saber Thorn has been traveling throughout the city to get as much distance as he can from the Goetia palace. He may have forgotten some of Jessie's things, but he has a trick to get them back once he runs out of steam, and reverts back to the human teen.

Saber Thorn had stopped for a quick minute on top of a tall building, and roared in the sky in a display of dominance.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

KREEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!!!

He didn't care who saw him or not. As long as it wasn't anyone that would recognize him, he should be fine. Plus, who else would care about a monster leaping across rooftops?

After a minute to catch his breath, he leaped over to the next roof. Despite the next roof being further down, and farther away, Saber Thorn landed with ease. Even though he created a crater where he landed. He waisted no time, and leaped over to another rooftop.

As Saber Thorn traversed along the tops of the buildings, he surveyed his surroundings, and saw a city of bright lights amongst a background with many shades of red, and black. The neon colors he saw had clashed with the darker red shades he sees amongst the buildings, making it look like a scene straight out of a piece of cyberpunk fan art.

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, a demon girl is standing upon a wrecked car, and holding a big cherry bomb like it's a baseball or stone ready to be thrown as she stares out into the city.

Back with Saber Thorn, the hulking white scaled beast is seen still leaping from building to building. However, he stops on top of one of the buildings, and is breathing heavily from exhaustion.

He walks over to the edge of the roof, and gazes out into the city. He sees a city full of neon lights, and unique designs. It's like Las Vegas times ten. A Sin City with no laws. A true sin city. Even the advertisements either feature drugs, or sex very openly.

Saber Thorn even saw some demons flying through the air. Thankfully, none of them took notice of him. The monster then looked down onto the street, and saw many demons of all shapes and sizes. Some looked like amalgamations of monsters, animals, and humans. Others just looked unidentifiable to him.

He took a breath of air before exhaling in an exhausted sigh. He's not sure if he should revert back just yet. He may be running out of energy, but it seemed like nowhere in the city seemed safe enough for him to do so, and he doesn't want to do that in a highly dangerous area. However, for all he knew, that could be anywhere, and he soon won't have a choice on where in the city he reverts back into Jessie.

Saber Thorn then backs up, and takes a running start before taking a leap towards the nearest building.

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, the demon girl's silhouette is seen jumping from rooftop to rooftop with ease like it's parkour. While she does this, she's throwing explosives left and right, and each one went off in an explosion with a fantastic display of smoke and fire.

She continues to run, and leap across the rooftops, throwing more explosives as she did.

We then cut back to Saber Thorn, who's now climbing up the side of a skyscraper apartment building with ease. When zoomed out, you can see that he's very high up! Once he reaches the top, he gets a bird's eye view of the city.

The city is much larger than he expected. He's not sure how to describe it. The city is just so vast that he's not sure where it ends.

Saber Thorn heard what sounded like either explosions or fireworks going off. He looks around the city from where he's standing, then walks to the opposite side of where he's standing, and sees multiple explosions going off in the distance.

Back with the demon girl, she's planted multiple explosives around several billboards that are advertising a porn studio owned by someone named Valentino.

Once set, she pulls out a single button detonator. She gives a big malicious smile that shows off her sharp teeth, and presses the button of the detonator.

The explosives went off one at a time, and each explosion blew up each billboard into pieces with ease.

The demon girl had a satisfied grin on her face as each billboard explode while she watched safely from a high view point.

Back with Saber Thorn, he sees that the only way off of this building is to go down. However, he could hear a huge gunfight beginning to start down below. He looks down, and saw gunfire being exchanged with what he assumed were rival gangs or something. He wasn't sure.

He didn't want to get caught up in that mess, so he began to think of a solution since he's getting exhausted with roof jumping.

Suddenly, he got an idea.

He wanted to get down, and test out one of his abilities at the same time. So he backs up to take a running start, and leaps off the roof.

Instead of going towards another building, he plummets straight down towards the ground, and blue hellfire begins to engulf his body so he looks like a blazing blue comet.

Saber Thorn curled up in a ball before he got too close to the ground. As soon as his flame covered body struck the ground, he created a blue flamed explosion with a shock wave.

The demon girl could see, and hear the explosion in the distance. She can see an ice blue colored mushroom cloud made of ice blue fire rise to the sky before it becomes smoke.

She's honestly impressed by the explosion from where she's at. She's never seen an explosion like that before. She's seen similar explosions, but definitely not one made of blue fire, and what impressed her the most was that it took place in the territory of an overlord she hates the most.

(End of the song)

Back with Saber Thorn, he jumps out of the crater without a single scratch on him, and looks around the area his powerful ability had affected.

He saw windows shattered, and some of them broken. He saw the whole area his flames affected was covered in scorches, and some stuff was on fire. Only the fire is the same neon ice blue that he uses.

All around him are either burnt or charred corpses of demons with guns. On his left, these demons had matching suits. The demons on his right had matching suits as well, but theirs were more like coats, and they wore hats... at least, what's left of their hats.

The hats looked like the fedoras of what a pimp would wear... or something.

Anyways, seeing that no one alive was in sight, Saber Thorn quickly made his way towards an empty alleyway with a dead end, and leaned against the wall as he began to stumble a bit.

His back slid down the wall until he's now sitting on the ground. His form became engulfed in black smoke, and red electricity, and the cloud began to shrink before dissipating to reveal a knocked out, Jessie Drackus.

Jessie slowly began to open his eyes, and his vision is blurry. He blinked a couple of times until he could see clearly. He saw that he's sitting in an alleyway, and became confused.

"What the fuck?" He croaked, sounded exhausted.

He wracked his brain for anything that could help him figure out what happened, and how he got here.

It suddenly clicked when he remembered what happened back at the Goetia palace. He remembers stabbing Andrealphus's hand with a knife, then he got swatted like a fly by Paimon, and he blacked out.

He also remembers meeting someone in his mindscape.

Seeing that the 'other guy' had gotten him out of a jam, he figured that he should move his ass before he gets spotted.

Jessie groaned as he stretched his arms, and legs. He pressed his back against the wall so he could place his legs under himself, and stand up.

As he stood, he could feel the aches in his body, and groaned from discomfort. He stretched his back, hearing a couple of satisfying pops, and popped his interlocked fingers when he stretched out his arms.

"Where the fuck did you take us, dude?" Jessie muttered to himself.

'Saber Thorn.' The voice in his head said.

"What?" Jessie asked.

'My name, is Saber Thorn.' The voice said.

"Oh. So that's what you're calling yourself. You know, throughout this whole experience I never really knew what to call you." Jessie said, leaning his back against the wall as he stood.

'I chose something simple, yet catchy, and based it upon my maroon red spikes as well as my ability to make my claws look like Alex Mercer's.' Saber Thorn said.

"But minus the biomass." Jessie said.

'Exactly. Now, we need to get moving. Who knows who or what could be out here.' Saber Thorn insisted.

"Right. Wait a minute, did we just leave without my stuff?" Jessie asked, sudden worry building up.

'Not to worry. Watch.' Saber Thorn said.

Suddenly, Jessie's arm moved on its own, then did a finger snap.

In a puff of smoke, Jessie is suddenly wearing his brown sweatshirt along with his backpack, his black t-shirt, and his blue jeans.

"Thanks. Hang on..." Jessie said, smelling something.

He then sniffed his arms, and noticed that they smelled... clean. Like fresh out of the wash.

"They're clean?" Jessie questioned.

'I had them cleaned the moment I teleported them. Don't ask how. It's magic. Enough said.' Saber Thorn explained.

"Ok. So that's one problem solved, but what happened to the dress pants, and fancy shirt I was wearing?" Jessie asked.

'Pocket dimension I created. I figured that we should keep them, since they make you look good.' Saber Thorn explained.

"... That shirt did look good. At least I didn't look like a royal douchebag." Jessie commented.

'Exactly. Speaking of which, I just thought of something that'll prove to be convenient for us.' Saber Thorn said.

Jessie's arm moved on its own again, doing the same finger snap, and his backpack disappeared.

"What the?! Where did the bag go?!" Jessie exclaimed in worry.

'Pocket dimension. Now we can travel lightly.' Saber Thorn said.

"Oh. Thanks. That's highly convenient." Jessie said.

'Work smarter, not harder. Now let's get going before someone sees. Go down to your right.' Saber Thorn said.

Jessie put his hood up, and cautiously looked left and right before going down the directed path when no one was around.

'So, did you sleep well when I kicked ass?' Saber Thorn asked.

"If by sleep well, you mean wake up in a blank white landscape thinking that I got killed by a giant owl man for stabbing the hand of KFC's undercooked brother in law? Then yes. Thankfully, I didn't die, and I met this random dude in what what he calls a shared mindscape." Jessie explained.

'Random dude?' Saber questioned.

"Yeah, he said his name is Marcus Wing, and he, get this, was knocked out by the same demons that brought us back down here." Jessie explained.

'The three imps, and the hellhound? How is that possible?' Saber Thorn asked.

"My best guess is that he lives in another timeline where he's experiencing the same scenario that we're experiencing." Jessie said.

'Good to know that we're not alone in the multiverse.' Said Saber Thorn.

"It's honestly yet oddly refreshing in a weird way. He even has powers of his own, and they are definitely different then yours." Jessie continued.

'First of all, it's 'ours'. My powers are your powers. Secondly, different how?' Saber Thorn asked.

"He can apparently scan me or read like I'm some of kind video game character. He said I was level three because I hurt someone or something. I don't really understand it, and I chose not to question it for the time being. Anyways, he can also summon these weird floating skull things. I'm not sure what kind of skulls they were, but they're definitely not human." Jessie explained.

'Fascinating. Anything else about him?' Saber Thorn asked.

"Well, he's definitely calmer than I am. When I first saw him, I wasn't sure what to think, and I had a mini panic mode. But he seems cool. He even made me laugh when he did a pun out of my last name." Jessie explained.

'I see. I wonder why that happened in the first?' Saber Thorn questioned.

"Who knows. I guess it's mystery. Speaking of mysteries, why did we need that book?" Jessie asked.

'I have a hunch that this book is somehow connected to both Stolas, and IMP. Think about it. Did it ever occur to you as to how they're able to go to the human world in the first place?' Saber Thorn questioned.

Sudden realization dawned onto the human teen.

"Son of a bitch..." Jessie said.

'Yes. Unfortunately, I could not retrieve it.' Saber Thorn said.

"So you're saying that there's a way home in that book?" Jessie asked.

'Possibly. I wouldn't know because I've never read it, but it's possible. However, we need a plan in order to steal it back, and I know it's going to be extremely risky.' Saber Thorn said.

"Dammit! Why's it never easy?" Jessie asked frustratedly.

'Because bitches be crazy!' Saber Thorn suddenly said.

Jessie snickered with a light wheeze, making him sound like Muttly.

"Ok, true." Jessie said.

'Besides that, look on the bright side. At least we escaped those bird brains.' Saber Thorn said.

"Again, true." Jessie said.

'Exactly... wait, something's not right.' Saber Thorn said.

Jessie froze, immediately stopping in his tracks, and his fear skyrocketed.

'What? What's not right?' Jessie thought.

'We're being watched.' Saber Thorn said, making Jessie's blood run cold.

'What do we do?!' Jessie thought.

'Keep going forward like everything's normal. Turn right on the next street, and run as soon as you turn the corner.' Saber Thorn explained.

Jessie continued to walk towards the corner, pretending everything's normal. As soon as he turned the corner, he took off running!

It's times like these where he's thankful that he's athletic enough to run this fast. Even more thankful knowing that he's got a separate sentient being living in his subconscious that can alert him of these sort of things.

As he ran, he can hear the sound of screeching tires not too far behind him around the corner.

'Head down the nearest alley way, and climb up the wall on your right!' Saber Thorn said urgently.

Jessie did what he told him to do, and quickly made his way to nearest alley, and immediately began climbing up the wall. He's able to do so he turned his hands white, and scaly with white claws. He's climbing up the wall so easily, you'd think he would be Spider-Man.

As soon as Jessie reached the edge of the roof, he quickly climbed over it, and laid his back flat on the roof motionless until whoever or whatever is following them in whatever vehicle has passed.

Jessie hears a vehicle quickly get closer, and he was expecting it to drive by. However, his blood went cold when it immediately stopped in front of the building he's on top of. He heard a door open, and could hear someone speak.

"Where the fuck did that kid go?" A male voice questioned angrily.

The male voice down on the street sounded like it had a bit of a scratchy voice mixed with a synthesized hum like the kind you'd hear at a strip club.

However, the fact that this guy was looking for him is what made Jessie's blood freeze with fear.

"He could've taken an alleyway or is probably just hiding in one of them like an idiot." Another male voice said, this one sounding deeper.

The deeper male voice has a more electronic growl to it.

Jessie didn't care who they are or what they are, he does not wanna get caught by them. He can already tell that they're bad news.

"Looks like we have to check them all." The deeper male voice grumbled with agitation.

"No need." Said the first male voice calmly.

"What? Why not?" The second male voice asked.

"Velvet just texted me his location. He's right above us." The first male voice said sinisterly.

Jessie practically went numb when he said that.

'SHIT!/SHIT!' He and Saber Thorn thought in unison.

Jessie wasted no time, and immediately scrambled back onto his feet to make a run for it.

Well, he tried to.

Before he could start running towards the back of the building he's on, a tall slim demon with a flat screen TV for a head appeared in a flash of cyan blue electricity, and Jessie skidded to a halt.

"Going somewhere?" He asked rhetorically with a sinister sharp toothed smile.

"Not with you, flat face!" Jessie said defiantly.

Suddenly, his arm is shot with two tranquilizers, and he almost immediately began to feel drowsy.

'FUCK!!!' Saber Thorn exclaimed in frustration, and shock.

"Fucking dammit!" He spat angrily.

Jessie then got so fatigued that he fell flat on his back, slowly starting to fall asleep. Before he's fully knocked out, he sees the face of a demon girl he's never met before.

She has medium grey skin, eyes with red sclera, white irises, and black pupils that were slitted like a cats. She also has long hair with velvet reddish pink, dark brown, and white. She had her hair in long pigtails. She also has black lipstick, and white teeth with fangs. He couldn't describe the rest of characteristics because he's blacking out. However, she spoke to him while he was still conscious right before he fell asleep.

"Hi, cutie pie~" She purred before giggling like a crazed school girl, and he swears he still heard it as he blacked out.

...

And I think I'll end the chapter there.

It's not quite as long as I originally intended, but I figured this would be good enough.

Anyways, the song up top was suggested to me by one of my viewers named Taurus, and I thought it'd be great for a cityscape theme.

Also the part where Jessie runs into the three V's originally pitched to me by v5gbp29xsyprivaterel... I think. Maybe it was GabrielHerndon I don't know, I can't remember. It's been awhile, so I'm not a hundred percent certain. However, besides that, I did my own take on it, and made it so Jessie isn't caught in a vulnerable position by sleeping in an alleyway.

The guy Jessie meets in the shared mindscape is a character created by DeathKip12 named Marcus Wing, who's from his own story that's inspired by this one. The name of the story is "Apathetic Teen (Male Sans!OC x Yandere Helluva Boss & Hazbin Hotel)", and I recommend checking it out, and give it a read if you're interested. Also, Marcus is essentially Sans from Undertale. The reason why he's mentioned in the story is because Jessie made an appearance in DeathKip's story, so we both thought it'd be a good idea for Jessie to bring up Marcus once he awoken.

So that's all for now. Hopefully you've enjoyed this, even though there wasn't much excitement involved.

Now as always, stay tuned!
