## History

Before Gizzy's Arrival

The Demon, a being originating from an unspecified location, has a son named Inferno. However, Inferno never knows about his father. In the Overworld of the Altered Universe, the Demon is misjudged by the people of the Overworld, and is imprisoned in the Nether. During his time as a prisoner, the Demon festers with anger and vengeance for being mistreated, hating every single day of his imprisonment. ("Fight Your Demons", "Demon Slayer")

Years later, after the Demon's unknown son becomes the Nether Champion, the Demon is accidentally released by Inferno. Wanting to get revenge for being wrongfully imprisoned, the Demon decides to takeover the Overworld, seeing it as a weak dimension that deserves to be punished for what they did to him. While travelling to the other dimension, his journey is slowed down by Witch's magic, but not completely stopped. The evil entity rises from the lava of Dawn's Opening, where he confronts the ruler of the land, along with his army who plan to stop him. The Demon tells them of his plans to destroy everything they hold dear, but the king's soldiers don't give in to fear and temptation and retaliate against him. The battle goes on for a while as the king's army put up a hard fight. When one of them, Witch, becomes weak, the Demon shoots a fireball at him, but he's saved by the king as he sacrifices himself. Upon Alpha's death, his powers are split into four elements and are given to four of his soldiers: Barath, Elizabeth, Voice and Witch. With their newfound powers, the warriors manage weaken the Demon. Meanwhile, the fifth soldier, who didn't receive an element, runs away from the battle, while his comrades fight back. As a last resort, Witch uses a powerful spell to trap the infernal creature within a prison by using four special items: Barath's Hammer, Elizabeth's Locket, Voice's Aura and Witch's Shield. Once he completes the spell, the Demon is imprisoned within the gates known as the Prophecy. ("Origin", "Fight Your Demons", "Demon Slayer")

Volume Three

Still trapped in the Prophecy, the Demon is visited by his unknown son, Inferno, who's now the Fire Guardian. Inferno attempts to open the gates, not realizing he requires the four items. Through the wall, the Demon explains to him how to unlock the doors, and questions the Fire Guardian on why would he try to open the Prophecy. Inferno replies that he wants to redeem himself by killing him, but the Demon reveals to him that he's his father. Overwhelmed by the revelation, Inferno leaves to contemplate what he should do. ("Fight Your Demons")

Days later, the Demon is approached by his son again. Inferno catches him up to recent events, including Voice's death. He explains that Gizzy, also known as the Chosen One, has obtained all four items capable of unlocking the Prophecy and freeing him. With things going according to planned, the Demon asks Inferno if he's truly helping his father, to which the Guardian affirms. Once Inferno leaves, the Demon speaks to Witch, who was listening to the father-son conversation in secret, but had his presence detected. Although he was the one who originally trapped him in his current prison, Witch offers an alliance between the two, so that once Gizzy opens the gates, the two can defeat Gizzy and take over the universe with Witch as king and the Demon along his side. Interested, the Demon accepts the proposal, now with two allies on the outside. ("Yandere Crypt")

The Demon is visited by a cyborg human, accompanied by a magical fairy and a disembodied conscience. The humanoid claims that he has all four Prophecy items in possession and has come to slay him by opening the gate. Through the gates, the Demon tells him that only Gizzy can open the Prophecy, and he knows the man isn't Gizzy because he recognizes the cyborg human as the combatant in the war who ran away like a coward. The cyborg human named Divine proves that he's come to redeem himself by aiding the Chosen One in killing the fierce creature. Sensing Divine's true emotions and thoughts, the Demon reveals to the group that Divine didn't really come all this way to kill him, but to end the reign of the Guardians, a desire that's been fed by the former knight's overwhelming jealousy. Unable to accept the truth, Divine accidentally falls in a hole and lands in a cavern full of hungry spiders. At the top, the fairy and the voice try to help Divine as he's the one with the Prophecy items, but can't due to their physique. The Demon gets them to somehow save the keys to his freedom by finding Gizzy who's already on his way to the magical door. ("Friends with the Enemy")

Two new adventurers arrive to the Prophecy. The Demon senses their presence, recognizes one of them as Jen, and realizes the other is the Chosen One Gizzy. Gizzy wonders where Divine, Ratchet, and Benji are, and the Demon tells them that Divine has fallen into the Spider Queen's cave. Jen decides to go get them, taking the King's Sword with her and leaving Gizzy alone with the Demon. Gizzy asks the Demon why he wants to destroy Altered, and the Demon tells him his past and desire for vengeance. Eventually, Benji returns and reunited with Gizzy. Now, Gizzy suddenly feels conflicted about fighting the Demon, debating if he should stay or leave in Altered when Aurona is freed. He also recalls how much he values his freed and his distrust of the Guardians, mentioning that Inferno is one of the Guardians. At the same time, Inferno arrives to the Prophecy and greets Gizzy, telling him that the time has come to free his father. Gizzy is surprised to learn that Inferno is the Demon's son.

The Demon's curiosity peaks when Gizzy mentioned that Inferno is a Guardian and asks for elaboration. However, Gizzy cannot answer, because Jen, Ratchet, and Divine finally return to the Prophecy, interrupting the conversation. Divine hands Gizzy the four keys to the Prophecy. Inferno demands him to free his father so he can finally have a family. However, before Gizzy heads toward the Prophecy, Ratchet interrupts him. He desperately proposes the idea that Gizzy doesn't open the Prophecy and that he stays in Altered. Benji agrees with the voice, while Divine, Jen, Inferno, and the Demon disagree. Gizzy is conflicted by the choice, but then ultimately decides it is better to keep the Prophecy closed. Ratchet and Benji are elated with his choice, and Divine and Jen respect it too. Inferno, however, objects and uses his powers to push Gizzy into the Prophecy. When Gizzy contacts the gate, there is a flash and the four items disappear. The Chosen One recovers, exhausted, and realizes that the Prophecy is opening. The Demon is elated. Gizzy quickly grabs the King's Sword from Jen and Witch teleports to Dawn's Opening, anticipating the Demon's release. ("Demon Slayer")

The Demon is released from the Prophecy, which has dissolved. He has also unknowingly absorbed the four Prophecy items into his body. The Demon knocks Gizzy unconscious. Witch, Alpha, Letvia, and Gail teleport to Dawn's Opening. Witch greets the Demon and is excited to join forces, but the Demon laughs and says that he has lied. The Demon overpowers Witch and kills him by pushing him into lava. The monster then leaves Dawn's Opening to destroy Altered. Inferno follows his father. He tells his father to stop the destruction because it violates his values as a Guardian. However, his father refuses. Angered by his son's defiance, the Demon throws Inferno halfway across the world.

The Demon then returns to Dawn's Opening to greet his "old friend" Alpha. To frighten Alpha even more, the Demon grabs Jen, takes her to the sky ,and drops her. However, Jen is rescued by Vantor, a powerborn with the flying ability. Vantor then confronts the Demon to stall time for Gizzy. The Demon just bats Vantor away.

Finally, Gizzy recovers, transforms to the Canine, and faces the Demon. Gizzy is revealed to also have the water element. Alpha gets an idea and gives Gizzy his earth element to give him strength. However, without the fire elemtn, Gizzy still stands no chance against the Demon. However, before the Demon strikes, he is suddenly weakened and possessed by the spirit Voice. Voice is able to weaken and possess the Demon because his aura is inside the Demon. This saves enough time for Inferno, who has survived the Demon's throw, to return to Dawn's Opening. Inferno pleads for his father to stop the destruction one more time, but the Demon still refuses. Inferno, finally realizing that the Demon has manipulated him and never wanted him, joins the heroes. Inferno gives up the Fire element to Gizzy, making him the King of Altered.

The King of Altered, with the King's Sword, fights the Demon. The Demon is also further weakened by Gail's telekinesis. He tries to kill Gail, but this provokes Letvia to throw a snowball at him. The Demon corners Letvia and Gail and throws a beam at them. This kills Letvia, but Gail is saved because her brother rescued her in time.

The Demon resumes with fighting Gizzy. The monster unarms Gizzy, making the Demon have the upper hand this time. He is about to kill Gizzy, but Benji flies into the Demon's eyes and blinds him, though this costs Benji's life. Blind, the Demon drops the sword and cannot fight. Before Gizzy kills him, the Demon cries to Inferno and asks for his help. However, Inferno has no more sympathy for his father. The Demon is finally killed, making Gizzy a hero who saved Altered.
