" I guess we will have to do this the old fashioned way then... Ladies, stand back, I'll handle this. " Quanxi said as she then dashed and cover fired for Denji who was attacking Makima directly head on. Summoning a katana, Makima then used Y/n's body to attack his own friend. It was as if Makima is frenzied in her attempts of killing Denji, as every slash, she was laughing, her corrupted voice taking over Y/n's voice as she took over his mind. However, it was not to be said that she is reckless as she kept a close eye on Quanxi covering fire for the hybrid.

Makima knew she can't turn a blind eye on the first devil hunter as even blinding her won't do no good. It seemed as if the two are doing well against Makima as she was struggling to fight and shrug them off, as if she was being careful of something more than Quanxi.

' Somehow, Makima is holding back on us. Sure she is on a frenzier and elated state that she could finally kill Denji, but there is something bothering me. She is so overly protective of Y/n's body. Hold on... ' Quanxi thought as she suddenly fired an arrow to the head as Makima then has her attention diverted to the arrow which she quickly cut down and was then infuriated at Quanxi. 

Before she could attack the Crossbow Hybrid, Denji blocked her way and slashed Y/n's chest, making Makima see that Denji had shed Y/n's blood and was forced to regenerate Y/n's body with the orb's power.

Suddenly as Denji grinned on finally landing a hit on Makima, Y/n- no, Makima's expressions then went blank, suddenly and recklessly charging at Denji and didn't mind Y/n's body getting damaged. She then blinded Denji with quick slashes and then kicked him towards a wall. Suddenly, the katana Makima was using was thrown and pinned Denji to the wall. 

" One down... but many more nuisances left to destroy. " 

....

....

' Crack! Shllk! Splat! ' 

The sounds were the things that echoed throughout the vicinity of the Public Safety Devil Hunters' HQ in Tokyo Division. Power had been mercilessly killing everyone who was in her way and left impaled bodies there. Suddenly, she was then met with a metal hand in front of her face. Power suddenly stopped and stepped back, creating more spears in her hands.

" I am not here to fight Power. We are at the same side. " Auron said as his appearance was now more different. After the self destruction of Magician, he was struggling to restore his body and half of his face is nothing but an endoskeleton as well as his left arm. The Machine Devil ran out of its capabilities to restore him and had to resort to makeshift parts. Skin couldn't be synthesized so it was just metal parts imitating the anatomy of the muscles.

" Oh...wow, you really look messed up. Anyway! Where's MAKIMA?! I wanna kill her! " Power asked as she threw the spears everywhere as she was causing havoc. " Calm down damn it, you are too riled up to disable someone's unconscious body. " Auron told Power as she kept rampaging and killing. 

" Calm. Down. " Auron said in a robotic, yet demanding tone which scared Power. She didn't like the feeling of being ordered around by someone who isn't Y/n and then again, she knows better than to piss off someone who had just gone to a fight. 

" So then... What brings you here? Besides, you should be resting. You look like a fucked up ripoff of Terminator. " Power told Auron as he lightly punched her in the arm. " Hey, just because I am old and injured doesn't mean I can fight. I am not here for Makima, so she's free to be yours. However, we got some company. " Auron told Power as suddenly, explosion tremors could be heard.

" Wait, I thought Y/n killed her! Why is she alive?! " Power asked Auron as he looked away and answered, " Me and Hakos kept her safe when Y/n went on a rampage. In exchange of making her live the life she wanted...we gathered information about the Soviet Union and sealed the Gun Devil... 

I kept the secret hidden and wanted to tell and make Y/n and Reze patch things up when...That incident happened. Makima manipulated his mind... I should've known sooner that they would attack and Makima was plotting something. " Auron said as he was downcast and filled with regret.

As he continued, someone then busted in and tried to target Power. Auron then instantly stepped in and attacked the assailant and shouted, " Go, now! We'll talk later! Do whatever you need in this god forsaken office! "

Taking heed of Auron's advice, Power went off again, hoping that after this, the two will be alive so they can finally talk things through. Clawing and searching for Makima, more devil hunters were then mauled and injured as they were attacked in their blind spots. Some of them were impaled and had blades or spears stuck in their hearts. 

Auron on the other hand then stared at the Bomb Hybrid who was silent for the whole while. Reze never paid any attention to him and was about to go after Power when suddenly a cold mist then surrounded the area suddenly, Reze was then kicked in the chin and was followed up with an axe kick. Reze then grabbed the leg and suddenly made it explode. Losing off balance, Auron then was caught by his own machine.  

It was like a cyborg with a hound like helmet for a head and designed for cryomancy and more. As such, it breathed out cold mist as Auron chuckled. " Took you long enough, was the facility hard to locate or is it under attack? " he asked the robot as it scoffed. " It took a lot of time to repair this after the stunt you did. Well then, shall we neutralize the threat? " the Machine Devil asked as it suddenly shot out an ice blast, freezing both of Reze's arms.

" I reintroduce, MK Cerberus. " Auron declared as the eye then glowed and suddenly, flames then shot out from the robot as it melted the ice, causing her arms to get wet. " I guess this is even now right? Just a normal fist fight. Though the legs may make it more of a fair fight. " he said as he let the Machine Devil heal his leg.

" I'll only be using weapons on you, prepare yourself for the final test. " 

He declared as he created a karambit similar to Kishibe's as if it was a form of respect to Reze that he will doing a fair fight. Suddenly, the two then tried to exchange strikes, with Reze having her attacks dodged. Unable to use her trademark explosions on every attack, Auron had more advantage than usual and went in for a counter hit with a quick slash to the throat. It wasn't too grave as it only gave a light cut which made Auron sigh. 

" Man, I am getting rusty with his technique. Welp, time to get aggressive then. " Auron said as Reze then jumped, turning her right leg into a torpedo. At the same time, Auron reinforced his arm and clashed with the explosive as a showcase of his power. 

Fire then engulfed the whole hallway as well as smoke and suddenly, an explosion almost blew off Auron's face as he ducked under, then stabbed Reze in the chest and slammed her to the ground. Seeing the smoke from her arms he then sighed in relief and said,

" Looks like I don't have to play the children's play of being fair anymore. " 

Grinning the robot then merged with Auron as he then wielded two scythes chained to each other. " Just like the old times... " he said as he then charged at Reze, with the scythes lowered. Expecting a low attack on the legs. Reze then backed off with an explosion powered jump and suddenly, a scythe then went past Reze's head and thinking that her head will be lopped off, she created an explosion which had her hands raised up. 

Not knowing the thrown scythe was intended to be stuck on a ceiling as a knot then was formed to choke Reze in a snap both figuratively and literally. " For the last element, time to knock you out! " Auron declared as he held onto the chain as huge volts of electricity then surged and electrocuted Reze. 

As Reze fell down Auron then caught and froze her solid and then proceeded to melt the ice so that she would get damp and wet, unable to use explosions. " Mission complete. " Auron said as he then carried Reze back home. Suddenly, a call was then being notified to him as he saw that it was Hakos.

" Sup? How ya doing best buddy? " Hakos said as he was sitting on top of Spear Devil who was piled on top of Flamethrower. " So, how do you like the steel chancla? Anyways, jokes aside, have you two got to Y/n yet? " Auron asked as Hakos shouted,

" I separated with War as we will get noticed by two of Makima's best henchmen. Turns out it was an easy sweep. We really need to train ours more. " Hakos joked as he then added, " War is already on the way, let's just hope she adapts to knowing how to drive a motorcycle. " 

" Ha?! Sa lahat pa ng naisip mo, iyon pa?! You literally sent a student to drive a motorcycle! Bobo ka ba?! "

(TL 1: Huh?! Of all things you could've thought, that's what you chose?!

TL 2: Are you a fucking idiot?! )

" Relax, besides, I think I would infuriate Makima more if I was the one to be there. She would take notice of my scent as she aknowledges my presence as a threat. War on the other hand, well...

Let's say she's a perfect counter at the moment. 

As I say this...what are you gonna do now? "

" I think me and the prime minister should have a little bit of chat."

Makima's Office

Busting through the door, Power then threw blood spears mindlessly as she laughed. Crazed and elated she will be able to stop Makima once and for all, it was then changed with disappointment that she wasn't in her office. However, she could smell Makima near this area. Was she underground? A secret area? No matter, Power had a plan, the greatest plan. She decided to wreak havoc on the place until she had finally known where the hell the Control Devil was hiding.

Suddenly, an eerie feeling could be felt as she destroyed the bookshelf. It's as if dread was personified in that very own room. Walking towards it, unknown creatures then came, made of black goo and had a zombie like form; not just humans, but beings of all types; charged at Power. 

As she tore through the creatures of horror, she could smell the scent of chaos in it. As if the Orb of Chaos was being deformed from overuse from someone who isn't the Chaos Devil. As she went deeper to the dungeon, a creepy laughter could be heard as Power was near the metal door. 

She gently opened the door, and was shocked of what she had found. Makima was no longer the same and her pretty face was gone. The half of her face on top was covered in goo and it was dripping constantly as if it was blood pouring out of her. The only thing left in her face was a mad grin.

Her body wasn't spared from the horrifying transformation. Her arms softened and liquefied to the point it can't hold anything anymore. Her whole body was unrecognizable, and her legs are gone too. Inside, the orb was glowing deep purple and had many cracks on it, signing that it can't hold Makima's body anymore and had to resort to this method.

Power was horrified of Makima that she almost screamed. However, she had to keep composure or else all of Auron's efforts are for nothing. Readying the spear, more creatures then breached through, attacking Power as if guarding Makima. 

As she fought them, all of the creatures then stopped. All of them, even Power(except Makima's unconscious body), 

HEARD THE REV OF THE CHAINSAW.
