Sirzechs & Serafall couldn't believe the sight in front of them. Sitting on a chair of bones and fresh blood covering the person was their long-dead friend, Hellion Skadi.
Famously known as The Demon Lord of Calamity. His very presence is known to bring calamity. His very presence brought an end to the fights.
"You! Who are you!? Who dare take on the form of Hellion Skadi!?" Serafall demanded having less control over her emotions than Sirzechs who merely had a tear escape his right eye.
"You can't even recognize your old friend Serafall? After all those nights we spent together~, I'm so hurt." Hellion said with a fanged grin.
Serafall went wide-eyed as she stared at him. No one, but her, Satan's, and her parents, plus a couple of others know that, and NONE would reveal that information.
"It's you. You're alive!" Serafall said with tears as she moved to run and hug him, but Sirzechs ran forward and grabbed her stopping her as suddenly a large amount of spikes made of blood appeared from all the blood on the floor and only a wall of destruction from Sirzechs stopped it from impaling her.
"So little tiny fact I forgot to say~," Hellion said cheerfully. He lifted his shirt showing the hole where his heart should be.
"I'm still dead." The tone he said it in hit them hard. "The necromancer who brought me back decided it would be funny if I still could talk and everything, but I have no control over my body mostly. Admittedly it is kinda funny." Hellion said with a giggle before he suddenly dashed forward at Sirzechs and engaged in a hand-to-hand combat fight.
"So in short, some crazy maniacs found the body of great-grandfather. They somehow managed to draw out a portion of his power, the inherited ability of his to create. They kidnapped the goddess Izanami and are using her to channel the power to revive me and many others. Their end goal I'm not sure of, but I can tell you this, they seek absolute apocalypse and destruction of the dream to invade other realms. I don't know more than that. Now keep in mind I'm weakened." Hellion said as he decked Sirzechs in the face and roundhouse kicked Serafall.
"However I still have a good 25% of my power. So don't hold back." He added as he shot a large amount of blood spikes at them.
"Good to know. Now how do we keep you down? You are almost entirely immune to my destruction and Serafall's Ice Magic." Sirzechs said and Hellion smirked.
"I'm weakened and so my resistances are as well. At full power, I could shrug off your attacks, but now, you have a chance to harm me. Give it your all and you might be able to stop me. I'm actively working against myself. Just be glad I don't have my spear." Hellion said as he dodged a blast of destruction from Sirzechs only to get slightly stabbed in the back by a pillar of ice from Serafall.
"Good. Good. Now come at me. Hahahahaha." Hellion said with a demonic laugh as he charged at them.
—
"I'm proud of you both," Hellion said as he lay on the floor with tons of injuries. Sirzechs and Serafall were worse off, but still standing. Albeit barley.
"Now I have one last surprise for both of you," Hellion said as he managed to stand up and held his hand up as all the blood he lost in the fight gathered in his hand and into an orb forming a... heart!
Suddenly he shoved his arm into his chest and held it there as he had a look of pure agonizing pain. Suddenly he smiled as he fell to his knees.
"And that's how one cheats death." He said with a grin before passing out leaving a shocked Sirzechs and Serafall. Both quickly rushed over to him and saw the hole that used to be see-through wasn't there anymore. Sirzechs then put his head against his chest and heard it.
Bud-ump
Bud-ump
Bud-ump
A strong heartbeat.
"He's alive. He brought himself back to life! Hahahaha I expect nothing less from one such as him. Quick, let us get to the hospital and call Ajuka and Falbium. They need to know." Sirzechs said as he gently picked up his best friend, oh who was he kidding, he threw over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
Both Satan then high-tailed it to the nearest hospital they were sure was safe. They speeded through everything and straight to their private doctors.
"This man needs immediate attention. Now." Sirzechs said and the nurse nodded quietly summoned a stretcher and went off with another nurse and a doctor.
"Lord Lucifer and Lady Leviathan, will you both be needing immediate medical attention?" A nurse asked with a smile, but it was a scary nurse. She may not have the greatest power, but she was the best medic in the underworld. Beside Lady Sitri and Lady Phoenix.
"You know what, we could use some medical attention too." They said in quick agreement and she smiled as she led them to their usual rooms.
—
"So you're saying he returned to life and there might be more like him?" Ajuka Beelzebub asked seriously.
"The fire crotch doesn't like your green calculator." A voice said as they turned and saw Hellion Skadi limp into the room with a grin.
"The gangs back together. The Calamity, Fire Crotch, Frozen Nerd, Green Calculator, and The Gravedigger." He laughed happily as he limped into the room completely ignoring the spells meant to keep people out.
"Now." He said as he took a seat and spoke seriously. "The ones who brought me back are angry. They no doubt know I'm back, so they probably have halted their plans temporarily until they can work around losing me. Even weakened I was still one of their top fighters." Hellion said softly as he idly twirled a finger in his hair.
"I don't know what they plan exactly after they "beat" the dream, he after all guards the dimensional gap which is a passage to other realms, or rather other universes. That punk once told me there are beings in other universes that can make even him their bitch. That's why he guards that realm. So if he were to be killed or incapacitated then great disaster shall happen." Hellion spoke as he remembered his conversation with The Dream.
The Great Red, The True Red Dragon God Emperor. The Dragon embodies and is the very aspect of Dreams and Illusions. The Guardian of The Gap. One of the few beings Hellion can fight without easily destroying immediately when using his full power.
'So what is your end goal though red? I noticed your presence during my fight. You helped suppress my power and even managed to shake the control over me long enough so I could revive myself and remove it fully. Oh well, that's in the future.' He thought before letting go of the serious aura.
"However that's something we can worry about in the future. Now tell me about the things I missed after I died against that bastard apocalypse beast. To think that such an annoying chimera could defeat me." He pouted as he remembered how he and his great-grandfather fought side by side to seal away The Beast of Apocalypse, Trihexa. The 666 Beast.
"Well I have a son, I named you his godfather, even if you were dead," Sirzechs said softly with a smile as he showed pictures. "I also have a sister now!" He said happily as she showed pictures of her.
"Oh god, there's now two fire crotches!" Hellion said in horror as everyone laughed Sirzechs pouted before soon joining in on the laughter.
The group then spent the rest of the time talking and enjoying themselves.

Two weeks later, Hellion had finally fully healed and he was brought somewhere rather familiar.
"So why are we here?" Hellion asked Sirzechs and Serafall as they approached Sitri Manor. Serafall looked extremely nervous. Sirzechs put a hand on her shoulder.
"There is someone you need to meet." The Red Satan said smiling gently, albeit with a hint of nervousness.
Eventually, they reached the manor and went into the lounge room where Lord and Lady Sitri sat, he had already met them again in his hospital room. However, there was another person there. A woman. Red-haired woman with horns.
"Hellion I want you to meet Helaion Sitri, your daughter," Sirzechs said softly and Hellion went wide-eyed as he stared at her.
"My daughter." He said softly as he walked up to her and she stared at her with her violet eyes, the same eyes as her mother, Serafall, after all, who else would be the mother?
Hellion then started poking and prodding her all around without any care to the confusion of everyone, but Sirzechs who smirked.
—
15 seconds later Helaion swung her fist at him and he caught it and laughed. Then hugged her.
"I'm sorry for leaving you, my daughter," Hellion said softly as he held her tight. He had left her once, not again. "This deadbeat dad won't leave again." He added on afterwards and he felt her latch onto him.
"Don't leave again." She said back just as softly as she held him tight. She might not have known her dad at all, and he might not have known she existed, but she didn't care, she had him here and now, and even after 450 years of living without a father, she was happy. He had finally returned to her.

This was a story idea that came to me. Not sure if I should do a full story or leave it as a one-shot like this, kinda leave it an open ending you know?
