@cervidae-demon​ liked for a starter 

Days in hell had calmed down somewhat once more after the extermination, at least for the moment until someone chose to try and brawl with some higher-up again or..until a group of three imps, one overzealous and spazzic tried an experiment without dotting all their i’s so to speak.

I.M.P had just gotten the book, Moxxie had insisted they double read everything to make sure they had it right but of course, Blitzo wouldn’t listen, as he spoke in a deeper voice than usual. It seemed to work, the drawing on the floor glowing and opening up a portal to the living world, or it worked for a second before flicking closed. The portal wasn’t gone though, clearly, something wrong had happened and soon became a problem for a certain radio demon, the ground opening up under him. The demon only had a split second to progress the portal before he’d be dropped though it, landing a bit hard on some grass, the portal now over his head closing as quickly as it had opened and swallowed him.

The place he was left in appeared to be a garden, a few chairs, and a table sat in one corner with vines starting to grow up and around the metal, in another corner was a small pond with a waterfall, some large colorful fish swimming around in it.  The garden was cased in by four high ‘walls’ which turned out to be buildings, each having three levels though how the levels were built made the walls higher than most three-story buildings. All four buildings on all three floors showed endless doors. Some opened into closets with supplies or even empty, others just opened into walls, others lead into halls which stretched on and turned with more doors on either side, the whole large place is built like a rat maze to confuse anyone who happened to find it that wasn’t meant to be there.

Everything was still, silent, except for a few red lights that had started to flick on and off, no sound emitted from the siren in the area Alastor stood in, but in the office of a certain mad doctor a loud blaring started, several screens with camera images popping up on the various monitors Isou was working on. The doctor scientist turned off the blaring alarm in his office, flicking through the screens before bringing up one for the garden, in the center of their complex. “Well...” he said, a sinister smirk appearing on his face. “How you got in our complex I don’t know but I can see those police want us enough to break their own rules...well I’ll enjoy dissecting whatever they made,” he said, looking over the deer like male the monitor showed for a moment longer before turning and leaving his office to retrieve help and apprehend this monster.

When he’d went to bed Angel could have never imagined the nightmare he’d wake to. The spider was a creature of the night, the last thing he was going to do was wake up early and he wasn’t happy to hear someone calling to him, pulling him from his slumber.

He stretched his arms over his head, noticing he hadn’t felt his second set move. As he opened his eyes he was greeted by something he didn’t expect to see, himself staring down at him.

Their leader must have been planning something big to send this many of them out. He and Isou were...private to say the least when it came to things like this, normally only trusting Elf, the maids and that mysterious man with the ponytail. Still, Kojiro wasn't one to argue, he owed them his life and his ability to walk and move. Besides what he was to retrieve shouldn’t be that hard to get, some animal called the pangolin rare but Isou knew where a family was nesting. Go through the portal, grab the dad, use the machine to open another portal and return. Simple.

At least that was until it wasn’t. Kojiro had stepped through the portal without a second thought because Isou had never made a mistake. But what lay on the other side was not a nature preserve but a city with a blood-red sky and, Kojiro hated to be rude but people in some of the ugliest but best cosplay he’d ever seen and yet something about it seemed off and made him feel like it wasn’t cosplay and he shouldn’t be here tho even tho it had been but a moment as he turned to the wall the portal was gone.

The shark-like male kept himself composed as he reached into his pocket for the orb Isou had given him, twisting it and setting it on the ground in front of the wall. It hummed, buzzing before exploding causing Kojiro’s eyes to go wide. “No...no.” he said, glancing down at the broken pieces of the machine. He spun to look at the city, pressing his back to the wall he had walked though as he closed his eyes.
