Everyone vs Violence, Part 2

"Status update, Renzu!" The Chairman barks.

"The first three Circles of Hell; Limbo, Lust, and Glottomy are outside!" Slayer Renzu answers as she furiously taps away at her keyboard. "Other than that; Greed, Anger, Heresy, Fraud, and Treachery have all been defeated! Slayer Fūjin is currently engaged with the Seventh Circle of Hell; Violence, as we speak as well as…The Cards of the King?! Even Ace and King, who are supposed to be dead?! But more importantly, Death, War, and Famine are heading towards one another…the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are about to meet up! Michael Hakan as well."

The Chairman is silent.

"What should we do?!" Renzu cries.

Nothing.

"CHAIRMAN!

"ALRIGHT!" The Chairman snaps. "Dammit, I was thinking! Where is Luis Tramonata Sr headed?"

"He was chasing after Slayer Fūjin, towards Daniel, Greed, and Treachery, but Greed and Treachery are dead, so he's probably headed after Fūjin," Renzu answers.

"Damnit, we're low on man power…" the Chairman grumbles. "Get me in contact with Slayer Midori. Send him to rally up Luis Tramontana Sr. and Fūjin as well as a healer, maybe Slayer Hīrā. Fūjin, Hīrā, and Luis Tramontana Sr. are to engage with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Michale Hakan. They are our last hope."

"Yes, sir!" Renzu replies as she turns away from the Chairman, and picks up a phone.

With a roar, I charge Violence using the impressive speeds of my Sky God's Anklets and Tailwind, with Clover, Diamond, Spade, and Heart hot on my heels, as Queen sends king and Ace chagrin forwards as well.

"What the…THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A ONE ON ONE, NOT A EIGHT VERSUS ONE?!" Violence screams.

"Don't worry," I smugly smirk back. "It'll be a seven on one soon enough!"

"You won't get away!" Violence roars as she disappears, before reappearing directly before me, aiming a Cursed Power reinforced punch towards me. But when Violence's fist slams into me, it just…slips right through me, as "I" disappear.

"WHAT?!" Violence cries as she frantically looks around until she sees me again -the real me- at the end of the pack charging towards Violence.

"Tee-hee, did you really think that my illusion was the real Luis?" Diamond snickers.

"Thanks, Diamond!" I say as I continue charging towards Violence.

"Alright…then you must be the real one!" Diamond roars as she aims both hands at me, firing off an emission of dark-pink Cursed Power.

But before Violence's attack can blast into me, Clover slams his fist into the ground, sending a wave of Earth Spikes flying forwards, and blasting straight through Violence's attack.

"I don't like this kid much, but I won't let you lay a finger on him!" Clover shouts.

"I'm glad that's not being used on me this time!" I laugh, as Clover's Earth Spikes sink back into the ground.

"Time Stopper: Violent Distortion!" Violence shouts as she disappears, before reappearing directly behind me, and aiming yet another Cursed Power reinforced punch towards me. But Violence fails when dozens of hands fly towards her, grabbing onto Violence, and prohibiting her from moving. Meanwhile, Heart aims a finger gun at Violence and fires a volley of Cursed Power Emissions towards Violence, which blast into her, but deal no damage.

"Spade…thank you!" I exclaim, as Spade's hands let go of Violence.

"Just don't take it personally," Spade grumbles. "I'm not doing this because I want to."

"Alright…that's it!" Violence shouts as she spins around and reaches towards me, but is interrupted when Heart snaps her fingers, causing her previous attacks to take effect, as shockwaves of Cursed Power echo across Violence's entire body, forcing Violence to scream in pain and to drop to the ground.

"Thank you, Heart!" I exclaim.

"Don't mention, just go…" Heart replies with a yawn.

And with that, I dash past Violence, leaving the Cards of the King behind to fight her. And at last, it looks like the coast is clear, and I'm out to go reach Daniel, once and for all!

"Damn you, Blue Demon…" Violence growls. "DAMN YOUUUUU!!!!!"

"TIME STOPPER: VIOLENT FREEZE!"

And then…everything freezes.

"What is it, Mr Chairman Sir?" Grover asks as he teleports into the Chairman's office, after being called and ordered to by Slayer Renzu.

"It's rude to enter without knocking," the Chairman replies. "Even if you did teleport in."

"What did you call me here for?" Grover asks.

"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Michale Hakan are about to meet up," the Chairman answers. "I need you to gather up Slayer Fūjin, Slayer Hīrā, and Luis Tramontana Sr, and tell them to head to Forty-Second Street to stop the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, once and for all!"

"Yes, sir!" Grover replies as he salutes the Chairman, before teleporting out of the room.

"Now, Renzu, you stay here," the Chairman orders as he adjusts his suit and begins walking away,

"Wh-where are you going?" Renzu nervously asks.

"The first three Circles of Hell are here, right?" The Chairman replies as he exits the room. "I'm going after them."

***

Not a gentle breeze, not the chirp of a bird, not the scurry of a mouse, not a droplet of rain. Just...nothing. Nothing exists. In Violence's world of frozen time, there is nothing.

Violence lets out a small sigh, but no breath exhales from her mouth. "These damn goons in the prisoner uniforms are sooo annoying!" Violence complains. "All I want to do is kill the Blue Demon for killing Anger, but they just insist on getting on my way! I'll have to slaughter them all after I kill the Blue Demon."

Violence then strolls towards Luis, stopping before him. "Now…let's see how you light this!" Violence exclaims as she chambers her right fist, which begins bubbling with dark-pink Cursed Power. "Time Stopper: Violent Distortion!" Violence roars as she launches her fists forwards, piercing Luis straight through the chest, but spilling not a single droplet of blood.

"ELLA!" Grover cries as he teleports directly behind Ella, causing the girl to jump, and almost drop the box of medical supplies she's carrying.

"AH!" Ella screams. "Oh, Grover…it's just you…" Ella then says as she turns to face Grover, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Just me?! I'm offended!" Grover snaps.

"Grover, what are you here for?" Ella asks.

"Er…the Chairman wants me to bring you to Luis and his dad to heal them," Grover explains as he sheepishly rubs the back of his neck. "The Four Horsemen and Mikey are about to meet up, and we need Luis and his dad at full strength to stop the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."

"WHAT?!" Ella cries, scaring Grover.

"WHAT?!" Grover shouts back.

"The Chairman of the Slayer Organization is trusting me to heal Luis and his father…?" Ella nervously asks.

"Yeah, why wouldn't he?" Grover asks.

"Because…I'm not a miracle working…or anything…?" Ella timidly answers as she turns away from Grover and stares at her feet.

"Ella…" Grover softly replies as he firmly grabs Ella by both shoulders.

"Yeah…?" Ella timidly asks as she turns to face Grover.

Without another warning…Grover slaps Ella across the cheek.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" Ella snaps.

"THAT WAS ME SLAPPING YOU 'CAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO SLAP YOURSELF!" Grover snaps. "Ella…you've always been our team's heart, our healer since day one. But now when we're in the biggest fight of our lives, you're too afraid to heal Luis? You revived him from the dead, dammit, and now you're afraid?!"

"There's just…so much more pressure when the Chairman orders me to do it…" Ella nervously replies.

"THE CHAIRMAN ASKED YOU TO HEAL LUIS BECAUSE HE TRUSTS YOU!" Grover snaps, causing Ella's eyes to widen. "It's your dream to become the head of the Medical Branch of the Slayer Organization, right? Now's your chance, Ella! Reach out and take it. Don't let this opportunity pass you by, you'll hate yourself forever."

Ella takes a deep breath in…then out. Ella then turns back to face Grover, and flashes him a sweet smile. "You're right, Grover, thank you," Ella replies. "Now…where are we off to?"

"To get Luis's dad!" Grover proudly exclaims as he opens up a wormhole beside Ella. "Let's go!" Grover shouts as he grabs Ella, and drags her into his wormhole.

In the blink of an eye, Violence appears directly in front of me, with her Cursed Power reinforced fist piercing straight through my chest, and out my back on the other side, causing me to erupt in blood.

"S-shit…" I weakly croak out.

"NOOO!!!" Clover cries.

"AHAHAHA, you're dead now, Blue Demon!" Violence cackles.

"Not on my watch!" Queen exclaims. "Puppeteer, Darius Raven: Black Prism!

A transparent purple cube then manifests around Violence and I. When the cube dissipates, my wound has been fully healed up, and Violence is back to where she stood before, standing behind me and watching my back as I dash away from her.

"Holy shit I'm alive!" I cry as I continue running away from Violence.

"Dammit, let's try that again!" Violence snaps as she disappears, before reappearing in front of me, and piercing me in the chest with her Cursed Power reinforced fist, just as before. But also just like before, King's Black Prism manifests around Violence and I, rewinding time, and returning us back to our original states before Violence's attack.
