Continued from here.
The Immortal Squad that was sent to hell to retrieve an artifact for the Rho-Legion has returned. What's left of the Squad, anyways.
Immortal Vessel "Gatecrusher"
Orbiting Aeshma-4
Ever since the discovery of Hell Portals on Aeshma-4, the Supreme Commander of the Immortal Rho Legion had made preparations for this expedition. He had heard rumors about a powerful artifact, a great Leader who was dragged to hell and imprisoned there after his defeat. And as soon as he found this way in, he decided to send some of his best (and some cannon fodder) to investigate. Getting into Hell was never the issue, getting out with the artifact (and preferably still alive), was. So now he had to wait for his Expeditionary group to light their interdimensional teleport beacon to get them out.
It wouldn't be long before the vessel received the beacon's signal and dragged the Immortal troops back through the Hell Portal. Minutes later, the Terrorkhan Commander in charge of the expedition arrived on the bridge.
"My Lord, Mission accomplished. We got the artifact."
"Kelly, good to see that at least you made it back. What happened to the rest of your troops though?"
"Giant Hentai demon"
"What?"
"Not important. Short version is, we ran into a few Zombies. and Brootals. And other weirdos. But they couldn't stop us."
"I see- and who is that? I specifically asked you to bring me a dead guy."
"Oh that. That's Santa. Thought maybe he'd like to join us."
"I can see that myself! I meant the other guy"
"Oh. No idea. Some guy."
"Some guy? Then why'd you bring him here?"
"Too piss of the Studlanders, mostly. I think they were there to rescue him or something."
"The Stud... oh, nevermind. And what am I supposed to do with him?"
Kelly shrugs. She doesn't really seem to interested in the current exchange.
"If I may...?"
"Sure, why not. Go ahead."
"As your Commander told you, some of my friends were supposed to come and rescue me. Didn't exactly go that way and one of those "friends" took my evil twin instead. So, I'd like to suggest to take myself hostage. Show them that you have me and won't let me go without a fight. Might cause some hilarious mayhem if they try to rescue me. If not... well, we'll find something fun to kill the time."
"Fine, make yourself at home. Navigation! Take us back to base. I've seen enough of this Hellhole."
