"This is not good enough!" An angry cloaked figure barked at a cowering messenger, who sat huddled on the shockingly cold stone floor of "Hell's Gate". This magnificent building located central of the demonic realm was where various members of the Demon Council had gathered in their time of crisis, sat around a large spanned table - the only light being the odd candle placed around the room.
Stood on their feet was the council leader, hood raised over orange ears and tan muzzle. all that could be seen by the cowering messenger boy was the dim glow of furious golden eyes as a hot breeze blew the hem of the torn cape slightly, a flicker of a flame at the tip of the leader's misleadingly fluffy tail. A broach which held the cape around slender shoulders, bearing the shape of a white flame reflected the limited light around the room as this figure began to pace, heels clipping impatiently against the floor.
"You are dismissed..." the council leader sighed after a while, once staring out a large window which overlooked the demon metropolis, it''s streets darkened with slumber.
Nodding, the trembling creature got up and scurried out of the door, shutting the door cautiously behind him before dashing down the corridor in fear the Firepaw had changed their mind.
With her gloved paws, Trixie Firepaw removed her hood, crimson locks of hair tumbling around her as she shook her head, the glowing of her golden optics calming. "I cannot believe Nero was capable of such destruction..." she muttered to the few members of her council who had gathered. "We really do have to help the angels before we're thrown into another war." she continued, once again her heels clipping against the ground in a disorientated march.

"yeah but how do you plan to help them? the only one of us capable of going in and out of heaven is yomi.."It was flames who said this.The crimson fox with his smokey black muzzle,chest and ears observed her carefully with his cold blue eyes."plus we all know most angels would rather die then asking the help of a demon..".

Looking at quite possibly the most experianced demon in the room, Trixie walked back to her seat, watching Flames out of the corner of her eye. "Correct. However if Nero is able to rally up some demons to help him - which is highly possible - the angels shall blame us and our alliance will be void. You know that."
Drumming his fingers on the table, his free hand running through a tuft of fur on his muzzle Diablo Firepaw's golden eyes were shut in the remarkable burst of thought. "Good as your intensions are Trixie, I don't think that answers Flames's question. It may be for the best we just wash our hands of this one." he recommended, looking at his daughter out of one eye. "After all kid, Hell isn't still properly re-built after the war. Shoudln't we be worrying about problems closer to home first?"

"I think we should help the angels..if it causes another war hell will turn into an even worse mess"the answer came from cecilia.The female hedgehog had leaned back not seeming to worry about the situation at all.

Always the first to argue Cecilia's points, Diablo glanced at her narrowing his eyes. "Even so, the angels won't want out help and our army are still weakened and won't want to fight alongside the angels." he mused, keeping rather chirpy.
Trixie stepped in before Cecilia had the chance to retort. "Well father, what will our troops find worse. Working with the angels, or having no hell left to save? We know what Nero is capable of, and therefor we need to prepare for the worst."

Besrek got up"I agree with trixie we all know what happened when nero had the power on mortera! it cost the life of thousands of angels and demons..he's not just an enemy of the angels but that of the demons aswell! you really think he would hesitade to kill of all demons in hell if that ment he could take out heaven with that?".

Defeated, Diablo shuffled back in his seat, ears low. "You've got me on that one..." he murrmered before drifting into thought again, his gaze pointed towards the table.
Crossing her arms across her chest and lowering her head, Trixie's tail flickered behind her in frustration. Being thrown into power such as this was something she had never expected, and this made it so much harder to fake a smile when there was such a threat to life at loose. "I don't know what Bain was thinking when he unleashed Nero, but being as we could not defeat him in battle, the only option we really have is to lock him up again..."

"how do you plan to do that..last time the watchers did that..but bain killed tempus and phantom alone can't stop nero..."flames asked her a grim look on his muzzle"they say nox and ashling are capable of becoming watchers but I'm sure they arn't capable of even surviving a meeting with that demon..I'm already suprised he let you live flametail"he looked at trixie a bit worried

Sighing shakily, Trixie nodded her head. "Why he let me live is beyond me. We both knew he could kill me in a second. However, even if Nox and Ashling do reach the Watcher level, it will be too late." she muttered, looking around the room for anyone elses imput.

"Involve Dante?" Trixie exclaimed, leaping from the safety of her seat and pounding her fist against the table. "Cecilia, you know that power hungry monster /killed/ me!" she growled. As much as she hated to admit it, Dante probably was one of the few shots they had, but her faith in the Demon King had been severly bruised at his lack of control.
Diablo narrowed his eyes at his daughters perhaps overly dramatic display. "Do you want hell saved or not?"

Flames sighed"maybe we should look at the other possibillety's first..besides..I'm sure the angel queen didn't leave dante unaware of the situation..after all both of them are related..".He shrugged slightly"I say we try to get in nero's way enough to be a pain in his ass and untill we've found a way to stop him

The leader pondered on Flames's words for a moment, before sitting back down. "Promising as that plan sounds... You are all aware not all of us will survive this aren't you? Especially if we go and get in his way."
The eldest Firepaw waved his hand dismissivly. "It's a price worth paying Trixie, you know that. It's like part of the deal to die for your realm."
The fox looked to her father, almost surprised before looking around the rest of the room.

The leader shook her head, wings constructed of energy furling around her. "We'll decide that when the worst should happen Flames, but thank you all the same. However, perhaps a Firepaw should be the first to take the fall. After all, we're revived every 50 years."
Diablo shook his head, getting to his feet. "50 years is too late. I vote we get Yomi and Frosty to get to work on life potions and whatnot, just incase."
