Crimson's base

Crimson is sitting upside down on a couch, drinking a glass of Fireball whiskey when Sloth steps through a teleportation circle

Sloth: When are you going to go back to work?

Crimson: I've been busy! And I still am! I got plans to carry out and people to make deals with.

Sloth: The three factions are going to meet up and sign a peace treaty at the Academy.

Crimson spits out his booze and sits up straight

Crimson: WHAT!?

Sloth: Apparently the leaders of the factions got tired of the uneasy truce between them, so they're going to sign a peace treaty in a week.

Crimson: No, this isn't going according to plan! I gotta find a way to sabotage the meeting, or at least bring up relevant facts to ensure that the Devils don't profit from it. Though, one of the few Devils that I'm cool with is Serafall, so I won't slander her at all, but I will go, to act as a double agent. The Khaos Brigade may overlook me as a simple pawn, but only Ophis has seen my true potential as a knight.

Sloth: Stop being dramatic. It's really annoying.

Crimson: COME ON! Just let me be dramatic for once!

Sloth, So, are you going as a representative of heaven?

Crimson: Of course not, Michael is going, so I'll go as a neutral party. More of as a representative of the humans.

Sloth: Although you may be idiotic and childish at times, you still suprise me with your tactics.

Crimson: Thank you, I try. Now if you excuse me, I got a blond brawler to visit.

Sloth: What have I missed?

Crimson: Kokabeil and the Phenex brat.

Crimson steps through a teleportation circle and appears in a forest

Patch, Remnant

Crimson appears at the edge of a forest, noticing the one house nearby. He walks towards it and knocks on the door

Crimson: Hello, is anyone home?

A tan man with blond hair opens the door

???: Hello, may I help you?

Crimson: Have you seen a young blond girl with one and a half arms around here lately?

The man narrows as if he was offended

???: Why, are you a friend from school?

Crimson: Eh, never really spoke to her, but I saw what happened and I thought it to be nice to come over and see how she's doing.

The man continues looking at Crimson suspiciously but lets him in

???: She's in her room upstairs

Crimson: Thanks

Crimson walks up the stairs and looks at the doors

Crimson: Hello, if you're alive and awake, open your door.

One of the doors open and the blond looks at him

Blond: Who are you?

Crimson: I'm the one that saved your friends and you from being torn apart. Didn't Red give you the message?

Blond: So you've come back to make a deal with me?

Crimson: Yep.

Blond: And that is......

Crimson: How would you like to become a Nephilim?

Blond: What the hell is a Nephilim?

Crimson: A being made of equal parts light and dark. We also have silver wings

Blond: What's in it for me?

Crimson: Um, I didn't expect you to agree. What's your name

Blond: Yang. Now, what's in it for me?

Crimson: You become faster, more durable, stronger, gain magic, and flight.

Yang: Do I have to do anything immoral?

Crimson: Do you count humiliating a manipulative, spoiled brat as immoral?

Yang: No. I'm in.

Crimson summons the second sphere with an 'R' on it and places it over Yang's heart

Crimson: Okay. I, Crimson Satanas call upon you, Yang Xiao Long to rise again as a being of vengeance and retribution. We shall support each other through hard times and puch each other forward when needed. Rise, and become my rook!

A silver glow fills the room as the sphere sinks into Yang's chest

Crimson: Well, how do you feel?

Yang: I feel............stronger.

Crimson: You should. Now, I won't force you to do anything you don't want to, but my group is diverse and overall morally gray. There's one homicidal priest, a blond douchebag vampire with a punching ghost, a sadist with control over ice, a demon queen, a demigod, a knight that can make any weapon, and a researcher.

Yang: Anything else I should know?

Crimson: I also have the seven deadly sins as bodyguards.

Yang: What the actual fuck?

Crimson: Don't worry, I'll wait for you to get a robotic replacement arm before asking you to do anything. So, just sit tight and don't tell anyone what happened.

Crimson teleports back to his base and notices Envy laying across the couch

Crimson: Envy, I'm guessing you got the pieces?

The shapeshifting homunculus grins and holds up two bags with red chess pieces in them

Envy: Yep! Took a bit longer than expected. Beelzebub upped his security since last time. Big time.

Crimson: Remember, one set goes to Towa, the other goes to Azaezal. I swear, those two would get along famously.

Envy: What a couple of nerds.

Crimson: I'm yelling that at Azaezal the next time he tries researching Schrodinger.

Schrodinger: Vhy ze hell haven't you introduced me to Kuroka sooner?!

Crimson: The possibilities terrify me.

Envy: So the Nazi kitty met the horny kitty? When's the litter coming along?

Schrodinger: Shut ze fuck up you damn hermaphrodite! It's not like you could get a girlfriend!

Envy: Is that a bet you little shit?

Schrodinger: Vhat else does it sound like? Or do you need some que-tips to clean out zose filzy ears of yours?

Envy: I swear to God's corpse that I will tear you to pieces!

Schrodinger: Ha, as if you could to zat to me! You couldn't even kill zat one alchemist! Ze Elric boys made you fake your deaz, didn't zey?

Crimson: Both of you shut up! My god, you argue like an old married couple!

Both annoyances turn to Crimson, glaring fiercely

Both: WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?

Crimson: It means that you need to shut the fuck up at some times because you two butt heads way too often!

Envy: Go fuck yourself!

Crimson: I would if I could. But alas, I can't.

Envy: Do you have a witty comeback for everything?

Crimson: I don't know, do I?

Schrodinger: Obviously not.

Crimson shoots the two a evil smirk before teleporting away.
