For a split second, you could see the gates of Heaven. It was right there, but then you were startled by a strange blue flash. That was when you realized that you were falling further and further from the gates before landing on a metallic floor.

"Ah!" you screamed. Strangely enough, the fall did not hurt as much as you thought it would.

"What-" "The-" "Hell?!"

"You!" You yell. You hadn't seen Black Hat since your death in 1692. You thought that, after 329, you were done with him and his evil schemes. Guess you were wrong.

He was surrounded by a few others. One was a man wearing a paper bag on his head. The other was a strangely dressed girl with pink and green hair. The third, and possibly strangest, was a surprised-looking blue bear with a flower on his head.

"Dr. Flug, what is the meaning of this!!!" Black Hat yelled at the man wearing a paper bag over his head. The way he cowered before him almost made you feel sorry for him.

"I-I don't know! The device is supposed to return something you lost! Maybe you know her?"

This only served to anger Black Hat further. It seemed as though Black Hat had no idea how you got here either, which begs the question: what the Hell was going on?

"She is supposed to be DEAD!!!" He yelled, causing everyone's eyes to widen in surprise. A small part of you felt self-conscious about it, while an even more significant part of you was just fed up with how confusing this all was.

"Can someone please explain what's going on? I'm supposed to be in Heaven!" Before you could finish, Black Hat burst into a fit of laughter. Why wasn't he taking this seriously? "What's so funny?"

"Someone as evil as you could never get into Heaven," he smirked, causing your angered expression to quickly morph into one of shock.

What if he's right? Maybe that is why it didn't work. After all the things you and Black Hat did while you were alive, it made sense. Perhaps you are too evil to get into Heaven.

"I-" you begin to say, but you don't have the words to defend yourself. "What am I doing here anyway?" You turn to the man with the paper bag on his head. Black Hat called him Flug, so that must be his name.

"Um...it's complicated?" He replied before holding up a strange-looking device. "Basically, this device-"

"Forget the device! Can we keep her?!" The girl yelled as she shoved Flug out of the way. Something about it reminded you of Alastor, but you shrugged the thought out of your mind. You wondered if your friends knew that something went wrong.

"No," Black Hat answered bluntly, causing a pout to form on the girl's face. Flug stepped up hesitantly before speaking up on her behalf.

"Well, boss, maybe it would be good... for research?" Research? The last time someone wanted to research you, they tricked you into answering many stupid questions that ended up getting you condemned for witchcraft. As if those arsworms knew anything about real witchcraft. Meanwhile, a terrifying grin manifested on Black Hat's face. You knew that look, and it always leads to trouble for those around him.

"Fine," he said after a while, "but I'm not responsible for the witch."

"Baw!" the blue bear took you by surprise by picking you up and giving you the biggest hug you've ever had. Aren't bears supposed to be dangerous or something?

"So, what's Hell like?" The green-haired girl asks eagerly. You looked to Flug, but instead of helping, he was ready with a notepad and pen. You couldn’t help but want to run away.

"Um... can I use the restroom?" You ask.

This was all too overwhelming. First, you have to say goodbye to all your friends and the man that you've developed feelings for. Next, instead of Heaven, you somehow end up on Earth. Now, you've run into your ex-partner in crime and his new friends whose questions keep giving you flashbacks of your death.
