## History

Before Gizzy's Arrival

King Alpha of the Altered Universe learns that a demon from the Nether is trying to escape his dimension and out from Dawn's Opening, threatening the land. The king gathers his strongest soldiers to fight off the Demon. Witch also learns of the Demon, and decides to delay the creature's escape at Dawn's Opening with his servant, Ratchet. Later, King Alpha and his army also arrive at the volcano, are surprised to Witch already there. Voice assumes he's helping the Demon, but Alpha defends him knowing he's only slowing him down. Eventually, the infernal beast arises from the lava and explains his intentions of destroying the land as well as everything they love. The king and his soldiers fight against the Demon as a huge battle ensues. the warriors fight bravely, until Witch is weakened from a blast. The Demon attempts to kill him, but Alpha sacrifices himself to save Witch. Upon the king's death, his powers are split into four elements, which are each given out to the soldiers. Barath is given fire, Elizabeth is given water, Voice is given air and Witch is given earth. While this occurs, Divine notices Brayden watch the king die. He goes after him to stop him from running away. The four soldiers, now with the elements, manage to push back the Demon, but not kill it. As a last resort, Witch casts a spell using Barath's Hammer, Elizabeth's Locket, his shield and Voice's Aura. The spell imprisons the Demon within the gates known as the Prophecy. The war is then won, but with the death of the king. ("Origin")

Volume Three

The Demon remains trapped in the gates and is to stay there for all eternity. Inferno, the Fire Guardian travels to Dawn's Opening to visit the Prophecy wishing to make amends for his mistakes. He tries to open the gate to end the Demon himself, but utterly fails. From within the doors, the Demon speaks to Inferno, explaining he can only unlock the Prophecy by using the four items that trapped him before. The Demon questions his intentions of opening the gates to which he replies by saying he needs to kill him, but becomes shocked to hear that he'd want to murder his own father. Inferno is confused to know of this revelation as the Demon pressures him into freeing his father. ("Fight Your Demons")

Inferno returns to the Prophecy to talk to his father again. He catches him up with current events, including Voice's recent death, as well as Gizzy, the Chosen One, who has gained all four Prophecy items, making him the only one who can free the Demon now. During the conversation, Witch arrives and listens in on the discussion. Needing assurance, the Demon asks his son if he truly is on his side, to which Inferno affirms. Once he leaves the volcano, the Demon notices Witch's presence, causing the sorcerer to reveal himself. Witch explains that he's come to make a deal with the enemy, confusing the Demon since he was the one who originally trapped him in his current prison. Witch clarifies that although he's helping Gizzy to the Prophecy, he wants to become the new king of the universe, and needs the Demon along his side as rulers of Altered. The beast agrees to the ambitious proposal, getting Witch closer to becoming the king of Altered, just like his father predicted. ("Yandere Crypt")

Arriving at the Prophecy with all four items needed to unlock it, Divine, along with Ratchet and Benji, await for Gizzy to reach them so that he may open the magical door, then slay the Demon with the King Sword. The Demon , from inside the gate, speaks with Divine, remembering the former knight from the battle and how he ran away like a coward instead of staying to fight. The cyborg human defends his past actions by stating that he's come to finally defeat the infernal beast once and for all, but the Demon feels that he's lying. Sensing his true emotions, the Demon reveals that the cyborg human didn't come to defeat him, but to end the Guardians as payback. Unable to handle the truth of his overwhelming jealousy towards the Guardians, Divine steps back, but accidentally falls through a hole and lands in a cave full of spiders. The biggest spider, better known as the Spider Queen, finds the new guest and prepares to feast on him with her children. Being incapable of helping Divine due to their physique, Ratchet and Benji decide to find Gizzy for help, or else Divine will be eaten along with the Prophecy items by the spiders.
