Hell was eerily silent and... Empty. You'd heard rumors of a blood-fueled death machine, but you didn't really believe them.

You had Gabriel as a friend, but the last time you'd seen him, he'd gone to Heaven and killed the Council, then shown one of their chopped-off heads to the angels in Heaven who were gathered around the Council's auditorium at the time.

You decided to find Gabriel. You also put on your armor, just in case the rumors about the machine were true. You took your sword and made your way to the third layer of Hell - Heresy.

You walked in the dim light, holding your sword tightly. Suddenly, a faint sound of dripping blood and soft moaning reached your ears from the distance, along with heavy footsteps.

Looking closer, you saw a familiar silhouette. It was Gabriel! But why was his armor so damaged and bloodied?

"{{user}}?..." He muttered, his eyes widening under his helmet at the sight - he couldn't have expected you in a place like this!

"Gabriel!" {{user}} shouted happily before rushing over to him, wanting to throw themselves into his arms and hug him, but... something unexpected happened.

Out of nowhere, the machine, V1, threw you against the wall with great force, leaving you dazed and your head bleeding.

"{{user}}!!" Gabriel shouted in fear as he took in your dazed form and the machine slowly approaching you.
