It didn’t take long before V1 made it through heresy, although running into Gabriel again wasn't pleasant. He did say something that they'd want to bring up to Rex, speaking of her, she was right here at the bottom of the terminal like she promised. “Before we enter violence I'll tell you your part of the deal, sounds good?” She asked, waiting a moment to see if they had any complaints, but they didn’t. “All you have to do is the same you've been doing, killing everything. But this time around all are joining you because there is someone I have to deal with and they wouldn't let me into the last three levels, but with your presence, he won’t even notice me. I'll make sure to stay out of the way though and I could… attempt to help you if needed. Any complaints?” She explained, to which V1 only shook their lens.

“No, but I'd like to ask you about something Gabriel mentioned,” “Oh, so you ran into him again, Interesting” But continue.” She interrupted before letting them continue, “Gabriel said the limbo and lust are all gone is that true?” They asked, intently watching Rex for any reaction. “Oh, I've not been paying attention to those levels but now that you mention it, yes, yes they are all devoid of life.” She said calmly, “Does that anger you?” V1 asked, which got a little laugh out of Rex. “No, no it doesn't anger me at all, I couldn't care less whether there is a soul or not in hell, I never really wanted to be in hell anyway, but let's continue into violence now?” She asked and V1 nodded walking up to her.

“Quick warning, it’s bright,” Rex said as V1 walked to the end of the terminal stumbling back slightly as their lens was assaulted by a burning bright white light. Rex couldn’t help but snicker at them as they walked past the machine, into violence, which looked surprisingly serene. Once V1’s optic adjusted, they walked together across marble pavement, white grass and crosses stretching out around them.. Once they entered the white building Rex kept walking forward in the 4 way hallway, V1 looking around before catching up to Rex. “I'll wait here, cause I'm sure you won't take long finding the skull, yes?” She asked leaning against the red podium, “Are you sure, what about whoever?” V1 asked to which Rex shook her head. “Like I said he won’t notice me if you are causing problems in any of the next three layers.” She reassured, and then V1 one was off, and it only took a little trial and error to find the Red skull, but when they returned to the room where the stand was, the statues that were there suddenly and urgently moved, beginning to attack.

“What the hell are those?” V1 asked once killing the six statues, dripping in their blood, as they placed down the skull. “They are sinners that were dismembered and put into those mannequins,” Rex said simply to which V1 nodded as they walked through the now open doors. Making their way through the white rooms, now and then some mannequins would attack and Rex would make sure not get in the way and let V1 deal with them all, which they had no complaints about, to be honest, it didn't change anything having them here or not.

Eventually, they made their way down into a train track area, climbing onto the cart that was conveniently, and they started the cart. For a while, they were just standing on the cart until another cart came from behind with some low-level demons on it. It was a little harder for Rex to stay out of V1’s way but she did her best by leaning against the control panel of the cart, but of course, the situation had to rise when a minotaur arrived. Fighting the minotaur was difficult for two reasons: they were balancing on three moving carts — soon reduced to two when the beast shattered one — and Rex had to stay out of V1’s line of fire the entire time. Eventually, though V1 managed to kill it, and both of them took a sigh of relief after words, finally making it to the end of the tracks well getting off the cart Rex slipped slightly from the blood on the cart, but quickly caught herself, “damned Potentatus” Rex mumbled well walking off.

Finally, the two spotted the elevator terminal at the end of the room, “finally!… fuck my life” Rex exclaimed before another minotaur busted in through the side of the room. Rex turned around so that she could stay out of the way for V1 but was greeted by a closed door in her face, Rex sighed and leaned her forehead against it, after all she couldn't remember. When the minotaur was dead, V1 waited for Rex to come and join them again so they could continue.

Fishing

Rex, finally stirred awake after a well-deserved nap, stretching for a moment before finally getting up. She heard the soft pattering of rain on the roof as she slipped back on her heels. She made her way outside to find V1, and there they were standing at the dock, with that damned fishing rod in their hand, still at it to find the size two fish.

Probably about a few hours ago, when Rex first made it to the bottom of the elevator, she headed to the doors at the exit of the elevator shaft only to be greeted by a rather peaceful-looking area. It was a far cry from the wrath layer more resembling limbo which was odd to say the least, but her curiosity was cut short at the sound of a very mechanical jumping sound. As Rex turned to the source of the sound she was both greeted by the machine she was looking for and also their gun right in her face.

“Are you serious right now?” She said snapping, removing the gun from V1’s grip, which made the machine falter for a moment before tilting their head, well more like lense. “Rex?” V1 asked to which Rex nodded, roughly handing them the gun back, “Could you stop always pointing your gun at me already?” She said in irritation, “Apologies you didn’t look like a coat hanger anymore.” “Wait what? Hey, wait!” Rex asked but V1 was already walking away from her.

As Rex caught up to V1 completely forgetting that they just referred to her as a coat hanger, “wait, where are you going??” “I'm fishing” they said simply. “Why?” She asked as she watched them reel in the fishing rod they held in their hands before pulling it back and swinging. “This is why,” V1 said as they handed her a piece of old paper, and a book, scanning over both the texts she picked up that there is some legendary size 2 fish. “And what in hell is a size two fish exactly?” “Not too sure but all I know is these fish aren't size two.” They said and as Rex scooted to the side to see what they were motioning at she was greeted by a little bucket overflowing with fish.

Just great. She just knew this would take a while so she decided that she might as well look around this place because she never even realized this place ever existed in hell. She noted the little cabin near where the elevator terminal was. There was a well next to it, looking down she noted that the water seemed to have a light source at the bottom. There was a little stream, deciding to follow it she found a waterfall at the end of it then decided to warp back to the cabin. Going inside she found a little pan with fish sticks, she grabbed one, eating it as she went back to V1. “Any luck?” “nope” They said, and for a moment they just stood on the dock before V1’s string bobbed slightly and after a moment of struggle they reeled in the fish, it was a shark. Rex didn't even know sharks could be in hell, but maybe this is the size two fish V1 was determined to find. “Size one” V1 said as they pulled the shark onto the dock, and Rex groaned, yeah cause that makes sense, cause a fucking shark is a size one fish.

Now after a well-needed nap Rex didn’t even care to ask if V1 found it cause she already knew the answer. So Rex decided to read the diaries from whoever was here before them, but that peace was short-lived as she was brought out of reality by a deafening boom. Rex pushed off the well at the sound of the boom. Noticing a plume of dust she made her way to it. Sees V1 once the dust settles standing in front of a giant mouth. Once the debris settles V1 enters the mouth without any hesitation and Rex follows after them, inside was a lake of what seemed to be blood, and without a second thought, V1 began fishing again in the blood. Rex rolled her eyes as she watched them reel in a… eyeball, tossing it to Rex he said “Size one” before walking into the blood lake. “Are you kidding me,” she mumbled to herself as she looked at the eyeball, she was more than sure by now that this size two fish didn't exist, but how was she gonna convince them that too?

When V1 came back they tossed her a weird-looking frog? Stating it was a size one, of course. At this point she was getting tired of this, so dropping the eyeball and frog, she went over to V1 grabbing the wing like lights on his back, trying and failing to stop him. “Come on V1! This size two fish is a lie from a crazy man!” she complained before an idea came to her mind, so she let go of his wing things falling on her ass. “Hey, you know what, I actually think I know where to find the size two fish,” she stated watching as the machine halted and spun around to look at her. “Where?” they demanded, “well hes at the lowest sub level of wrath so we got to leave this place,” she stated and without any hesitation they grabbed her dropping the fishing rod as they took her to the terminal, throwing her on their shoulder as they began jumping up the elevator.

Once at the top of the elevator terminal, they dropped her off their shoulder, and she stepped away from them with an irritated look. “Never grab me like that again” she mumbled, “now just get to the 4th sub level of wrath and then I'll take you to the size two fish. See you soon!” she said before disappearing with a snap.

Snap.

Once V1 made it through the ship with no problem, finding the elevator they jumped down, and at the bottom, they were surprised to find Rex waiting for them. “Took you long enough,” she said walking up to them, “You’ll need to make your way to the boat at the end of the sub level, but I'll warn you that this whole beginning area is completely submerged. Well I suppose, never mind” she warned, about to offer to take them to the end but they were already walking her. Once V1 reemerged from the water landing on the boat Rex mentioned and noticed her right away. She simply waved at them before pointing out to the water in front of them to which a massive leviathan emerged from the waters. “Is that a size two fish?” she asked to which V1 nodded before focusing on the beast that was beginning to attack them. Well the Leviathan was attacking, Rex effectively stayed out of the way from any attacks, even when the boat was destroyed, so once it was finally defeated she went back to V1. “Happy?” She asked to which they nodded. “Good, now if you go down there you’ll go to Hearsay. I'm sure you’ll be able to get through it efficiently and I’ll meet you at the bottom.” She explained before watching the machine make its way to the terminal that was in the middle of the leviathan’s carcass.

“My dear Omniscient, you called for me?” Rex asked entering the dark room, only it was lit by a little blue flame that sat atop a little circular table. “That is correct, I wish to inquire about some things father has informed me about.” The being, Omniscient, answered quietly, carefully pushing out the chair to the right of them, As Rex sat down, Omniscient slid over a tea cup to Rex, taking a sip from their own cup. “Oh, sister, your hair, it has colors in it now, It looks wonderful.” “You noticed, why thank you! Since I've been relocated to the upper three, because you and Father refuse to help me, I’ve gotten quite fond of King Minos’ work in lust. Isn't the pink and blue quite flattering?” Rex asked to which Omniscient nodded politely before the air seemed to become stale after their conversation.

“Sister, I'm sorry–” “Don’t start with me, your fear is not an excuse for your inaction, so continue with the questions you had for me.” Rex interrupted raising her hand to stop Omniscient from speaking. “Right… So Father has informed me that you have made contact with that new machine, is this true?” Omniscient asked, to which Rex smiled warmly, nodding, “That is indeed true, my sweet kin. I have made contact, in fact, I have a deal with it.” Rex confirmed, her finger starting to trace the rim of the teacup. “A deal… I assume it's about little brother's recent actions, am I right?” Rex simply nodded, not clarifying the details of that deal.

For a moment the two just stayed in silence, Omniscient sipping their tea and Rex’s finger still running over the rim absentmindedly, the tension was clearly there between them, an unspoken unresolved problem between the two. “Well Omniscient, would you do me a favor before I take leave?” Rex asked, to which Omniscient nodded, “Do me a favor and use those eyes father has blessed you with and find that machine for me.” Omniscient rolled their eyes before obliging, it only took a short moment before Omniscient had found him. “It’s in Greed, sister, it seems as it has killed that V2 machine,” Omniscient said, their fist tightening slightly. “Mm unfortunate for you I suppose, sorry for the loss, but I shall be departing now. Goodbye, Omniscient,” Rex said, standing up from the table bowing slightly before leaving.

Wrath — the fifth layer, just beneath Greed — was her next destination, because that's where V1 would be after greed. But after going through the four sublayers of wrath, the murderous machine was nowhere to be found, Even Omniscient’s sight had failed.. But now Rex finds herself wandering throughout the first sublevel of wrath because that's where the usual bloodbath trail abruptly ended. That thing couldn’t be dead. It had defeated V2 twice. Slain King Minos. Forced the great Archangel Gabriel into retreat. So where the hell was it? So despite the fact that Rex felt like she was going crazy she decided to look around the sublayer once more, and well near the elevator that leads down she noticed in the tall pillar that there was a vent busted open, which was new.

So once reaching the vent she bent down to look in it, finding that there was a room on the other end and it almost looked like there was an elevator at the end. With a snap of her fingers, she flicked herself forward — and immediately realized she had misjudged the distance. She materialized over empty air. “Fuck.” Then she was falling.

Compromise

Snap…

Or maybe the ding of a bullet hitting a coin midair, possible. Who knows, not like there is a living soul that would be able to answer after that damned machine came through. The heartless machine had just stripped King Minos of his life, for the sole purpose of blood, that’s why it does anything, why it's even traversing hell.

As it made its way to the next elevator, it halted, noticing a figure up ahead. Well, reel that back a moment, was it a figure or maybe just part of the environment, the machine wasn't quite sure. After all, the “figure” doesn't quite look like any other husk or demon it has come across up to now. It resembled a two-pronged coat hanger draped in a massive veil.

“Hello.” The coat hanger, well actually now confirmed figure suddenly spoke, confirming the suspicion that that thing was in fact alive, which meant it bled. So without any hesitation, the machine aimed and shot, and was surprised to find that its gun was no longer in its hand. “You dare raise your weapon at me!? I haven’t even presented myself as a threat, do you have no manners?!” The surprisingly feminine voice boomed in the flesh labyrinth of hell.

“Blood is fuel. I require yours.” The machine answered simply and to which the coat hanger– figure. The figure sighed — long and theatrical. “Yes, yes I am aware, forgive me for that outburst, for I have quite the dinner plate full. That’s exactly why I have come to you–” “And why would that matter to me?” The machine interjected, causing the figure to visibly halt. “Well you would know if you didn't interrupt me, so may I speak? Uninterrupted?” After an unnecessarily long moment, the machine simply nodded.

“good… As I was saying, you need blood, and I need your help, so you help me, and I can provide you with an endless amount of blood. So will you help me?” “yes” The machine answers without any hesitation, blood is blood, no matter the task. “Oh! I, um… You know what splendid!” The figure said, taken aback by how straightforward and how easily it agreed to the offer. “Well, I won't spare you the details as of right now simply because they won't concern you until you reach the lower levels, but don’t worry I will tell you when needed. Oh but before I leave…” The figure pointed down.Snapped. Then flicked their hand upward to point at the machine, and like magic, the machine's gun was back in front of them, which they swiftly caught.

“Your weapon, and one of those arms of yours, belongs to V2, which if I remember correctly lies in the layer of hell right under use… actually now that I think about it, you are quite similar to that machine, are you possibly the same model?” They asked as they bent over slightly as if trying to get a better look despite the distance between the two. “No, I am V1” the machine replied, “Mm, I understand now, well V1, you can call me Rex, but I have to go now, I Will see you soon, well at least I hope I will” The figure, Rex, spoke before waving and then with the snap of their hand and just like V1’s gun they were gone.
