Death rise

woah...that was fast...can you guys slow down...i want to join in too...

Just join in Fox. I have to go soon.

Suddenly Shadow saw his lower body blend in to the black and orange floor. He was disappearing!

The girl screamed.

"I'm still here," he whispered.

She jumped at his voice putting her hand over her bare breast where her heart was. He could hear it beating. Ka-Thump, Ka-Thump, Ka-Thump.

Shadow blinked and when he opened his eyes he found that he could see his body again.

The girl threw herself against him and hugged him.

Baffled he awkwardly put an arm on her back. He pulled it back quickly as it irritated his burnt and bloodied palm.

"I can... can disappear," he said in awe.

(out of character. I have to go cut my hair, and then shower. Will be back in about eighty minutes.)

okay... but based on the violence of Shadow, I must guess that we are in the 9th Bolgia in Malebolge or something like that. (I'm basing this of Dante's inferno)...if that's fine.

Enna

"Dammit, of all the places in hell. Why here in Malebolge? Damn Minos, i could have suited to the river of Styx. Ripping people's arms would have been fun." i murmured as i placed my arm over my waist tat was cut open. The pain that flowed from it was still strong as i tried to walked along with a large crowd most of which have disembodied body parts. Lucky for me, that i was cut on the waist than on the head.

As i walked with the crowd, i gazed up at a bridge ahead of us were fallen angels sat at the bench with swords by their palms.
"If i could have got hold of that sword, I'll show you torture." i murmured fighting the pain again as i bumped on a man.
"Watch it!" i shouted, "Can't you see you bump to a lady."
The man looked at me with an eyeless gaze as he moved back when one of the fallen angels came before me.
"Shizamaki, isn't it." the demon Malacoda called out to me as he place the sword on my neck.
"What else," i hissed as he inserted the sword to my chin. I avoided to scream in pain.
"Cocky are you, woman. Murdered by your own sister but it was your fault in the first place for causing her."
"So tell me, will she be here soon?"
Malecoda grinned. "I am not judge."
"Heh," i smirk as i left him and walked away covering the wound on my chin.

Just introduce your character, they can be newly dead, or have been in hell for a bit. just introduce them while we wait for Bolt to show up and get this show on the road

Chai


Chai blinked rapidly as his hand groped for the rope that only momentarily before been at his neck. As he took a large breath in wonderment he looked around with wide eyes. Sweat glistened on his body from the evident flames in his surroundings.

"Aha! This must be the reincarnation level. Now," he grinned, "where do I go?"

He raised a hand above his eyes and, like a saiolr, sought to find something of familarity. He managed to spot a person walking a little distance. He sprinted for a second, stopped, walked for a second and then continued this cycle until he caught up with them.

He placed a hand on the person's shoulder, "Hey, do you know where I choose my next reincarnation?"

They turned around, holding a hand on their chin, "What are you on about?"

He frowned, and then instantly smiled, with a bow he looked up and replied, "I am Chai Statera, you would be?"

"Enna." She replied with suspiscion.

(Chai beleives in reincarnation - it works with the way he lives his life. To him reincarnation is balance.)

Hazel and him had had to run from a giant that had threatened to devour them and digest them for eternity. Running atop brimstone was pain beyond pain.

The poor girl Hazel had actually given up and he had to carry her exhausted form. And with her weight in his arms his feet had burned even more intensely. It was pain beyond pain.
**************
Shadow panted, he was hunched over and gripping his stomach. He felt his stomach heave, and he vomited. The vile fluid bubbled and hissed when it made contact on the brimstone. The vapor stung his nostrils with it's manure stench.

Hazel backed away pinching her nose which was burnt to a fine red crisp.

Shadow shook his head, and then him and Hazel walked the expanse of Hell looking for nothing. For there was nothing, except a death that would bring no relieve. For how could he die being already dead?

*thanks light devil...you're a life saver


Enna

"Hey, Enna do you want to be reincarnation?" he repeated. I looked at him as i moved with the crowd.
"What the bloody hell are you talking about?" i look down his body and notice that he has not a speck of damage in his body. He must have came here now.
"Reincarnation...do you want?" he repeated again.
"What got you here?" i changed the question in order to avoid suspiscion from the demon. Reincarnation...hehe...one way ticket out of this dump...only problem was he's a guy. Oh well...
"Suicide."
"Suicide," i chuckled. "What are you doing here pal, ain't you suppose to be by the suicide woods? Oh well, Damn Minos must have mix things up...again."
As a demon forced us to move faster to the part where we started, i shook his hand.
"I can't promise you anything yet, pal, but its a pleasure to meet you." i grinned to myself. As we move continuously, my wounds began to heal and pain begins to decrease but overhead was an army of demons with a sword by their hands.
Not again, i thought.

Shadow and Hazel walked among some truly f*^%$ up people. There was a man eating his own arm.

"I haven't ate in years! I can't even die!" he howled rushing toward them. "I'm gonna eat your p&^%%y!" the crazy bone thin man said rushing Hazel.

Hazel screamed.

Shadow thrust out his piece of scrap metal and impaled the crazy man.

The crazy man screamed as blood seeped out of the gash in his stomach. He toppled over on the brimstone floor. His blood singed and vaporized on the hot ground. He spasmed and cried out in never ending pain.

Hazel was still shaken.

"There, there it's OK," he said pulling her gently away. "I won't let anybody hurt you."

She nodded, and then they both continued their walk to nowhere.

Chai

Chai raised an eyebrow, which in itself is a balance of sorts, "Are they going to help with my reincarnation?"

Enna grinned, "Oh, yeah, they'll help - kill you again so you can reincarnate later."

Chai shook his head with a serious look, "I can't die again, it would ruin the balance."

The demons approached and Chai hissed. He looked around for a second and then gripping onto Enna's arm they he shoved her down into a hole that moments before been spurting fire. Enna screamed, "Are you crazy we'll be burnt to a crisp if we stay, let me out!"

Chai forced his hand over her mouth to quiet her. Up above the demons chattered, "I thought we saw some wanderers here. Where do you think they went?"

"They're in hell, wherever they go it's all the same," cackled the other. The army walked back to the forts laughing. Chai looked down at Enna his eyes wide, "We're in hell?"

"Yeah, what did you think?" she replied with a scowl.

Chai rubbed at his forehead in confusion, "Maybe I shouldn't paid someone to kill me. I would've went to heaven then . . ."

He sighed, "Well, there's nothing to it then. We're getting out of here," he paused, his eyes sparkling as he locked eyes with her, "if you're with me that is?"

Before she could answer Chai's eyes widened and, with a sudden movement, he leaped out of the hole swinging Enna up instantly after him. A blue flame, the hottest possible, boomed from it, toasting the tips of Enna's shoes as she crawled away.

Chai put forward a hand and with a hard intense stare he asked, "Are you with me?"

Enna

"Heaven?" I cracked a joke as we went near the army. "You've got to be kidding. You killed yourself? How can you be in heaven?? That's violence to self pal...violence to self..."
" So are you in?" he repeated as he grabbed my arm as we are next. I did not respond for when we approach the army, one of the demons cut an arm while one cut Chalia's waist letting the organ to flow out. Chai was trying to pull it back while adapting to the pain.
"Get hold of yourself, pal. This will be endless. We go around a circle, our injuries will heal and those scumbags will cuts us again."
"SO its endless...?"
"What do you think?" I hit him with my disembodied arm. Chalia began to shiver.
"So other than that, sure...anything to get out of this dump? So what's first?"
"ANything to get us out of here?" he began to sighed as he looked at his falling organs.
"Hehe, interesting..."

The Dragon burst from the ground and roared. It boomed throughout Hell, the very ground trembled in fear. Every demon knee bowed to that veil serpent named Satan.

Shadow shivered holding Hazel close.

Chai

His eyes widened as the demon's stopped their cutting and kneeled. He grinned, but then frowned, "It looks as though we have our chance."

With a stop-and-then-run pace they, meaning Chai draggin Enna with her remaining hand, made it to the throne that he sat upon.

Chai smiled politely, "Why hello thar, Mr. King of Hell. I don't mean to second guess you or anything, but I shouldn't be here."

Shadow could no believe someone had dared to speak to the Dragon. The Dragon stared at them. Fire and smoke seeping out from the spaces between it's fangs.

"How dare you shake your tongue at the King! You do belong here, for you are mine. For eternity!" and then the Dragon reared it's head to the smoking sky with no end and belched fire. The column of blazing redness superheated the air around it to the point that it took an almost liquid form.

Shadow watched as the people that had spoken to the Dragon ran off.

Enna

I slapped him with my disembodied hand as we ran over the bridge to reached the 8th Bolgia where an army of flames were walking individually like a crowd. Above us, the sky was amber and red. A number of the flames had stopped on their tracks.
"You really have to talk do you?" I slapped him again. "Not look at us, i'm a one armed princess while your a open waisted freak!"
"You want to go out do you?"
"But not like this!" i slapped him again. "Now a horde of demon will chase us and we get caught we'll end up like Cassius or Brutus!"
As we reached the 7th Bolgia, we passed over a bridge where underneath it people were pursued and bitten by hordes of snakes. A number of them had their bodies transformed into snakes.
Just as we passed the bridge, a number of centaurs appeared before the bridge. One of which had a dragon intermixed in his body. They had arrows targeted at us.
