Tempest then scooped his wife up in a gentle yet tight hug, kissing her firmly on the lips before holding her close. Although surprised at first, Xeno returned the hug and the passionate kiss, but blinked as she suddenly felt Tempest's body shaking... and was he sniffing?

"T - Tempest?" She asked, feeling him shaking as if he was crying.

When Tempest looked at her, Xeno blinked as she saw tears running past Tempest eyes. This was something that Xeno didn't see coming, causing her to blink.

"I'm so sorry..." Tempest said, "it may have been an illusion... and yet it felt so real... I tried to save you... but that monster threw me off before making me watch as he swallowed you whole with that damned tail of his... making you a part of him... oh Kami... just thinking of the image of seeing you going through that..."

As Xeno continued to hold the distraught Tempest, she realized that the image of Cell had been used in Tempest's illusion because of the trauma that he had inflicted on him. She knew Cell killed his parents and had absorbed his friends at a later point to get his revenge on them, with Tempest himself managing to defeat him with a severe stroke of luck due to Cell being affected by the changing conditions of the planet they were on... she realized that by having something happen to her, it was an effective way to throw Tempest off... but she couldn't imagine going through what Tempest had seen... she shuddered at the thought of this, and proceeded to do the one thing she could and wanted to do: comfort her husband.

"I couldn't save you... I tried to, but I couldn't... and killed myself in a desparation attack... please don't leave me..." Tempest whimpered in her embrace, now throwing his emotions out as he wept.

"I'm not leaving you..." Xeno gently cooed back, tears slipping past her own eyes as she cried along with him, "you did what you could do... we'll get the demon back for this..."

The couple just held each other like that, trying to comfort their significant other, ignoring their tears and blood mixing with each other; bringing comfort to their mates was what mattered more to them. Perhaps this also showed to anyone of the others who watched in the cells around them as to why Tempest and Xeno were so close, coupled with the fact that Xenest's own form was in a way superior to Godel in the past, simply because of the unity between Tempest and Xeno which allowed their souls to inhabit Xenest's body in complete and perfect co-existence...

Grunting, Brachi herself got up, although shaking as she felt her entire body protesting against her, almost as if she had been drained of her energy. Looking around, she saw the female demon accompanying her and smiled weakly at her, biting through the pain of her own current condition, but blinked as she saw Tempest and Xeno holding each other so close in their cell, their bodies rocking very gently and slowly back and forth as if they were comforting each other. Brachi remained silent however, resorting to only sitting as she thought back of what happened to her, ignoring the blood which was slowly leaking from her injuries.

Abaddon helped his sister Malia up after the landing, dusting her off even. Malia on her turn looked as if she had experienced a moment akin to a computer experiencing a blue screen of death, although she looked up at her brother and nodded at him in gratitude for helping her. Abaddon gently smiled at her, showing that he cared for her, before they tried to focus on the others, feeling they should try and find a way to escape. Malia then saw Tempest and Xeno in their cell from a different side, holding each other close.

"What's up with them?" Malia asked.

"They're comforting each other," Abaddon said, "apparently Ruthas must have put them through an illusion that displayed their greatest fear and their inability to stop it, despite fighting back against those demons and ended up being victorious... but the impact of the aftermath is catching up... simply because those illusions felt so real..."

Malia nodded at this, wondering what could have happened that caused the couple to become even closer and tightening their bond even more, if that was even possible.
 
Future Godfrey spat on the ground getting up.

"Love. The only thing more unstoppable then an invincible man. I knew a good person once, but a village believed he was evil. He was killed by two whom he had aided, their love over powering destiny and what needed to be done." He said disdainfully. He walked to the edge of the cell and attempted to blast it open with a barrage of light.
 
It was of no use however as the walls stayed intact.

"Try as you might, but Ruthas applied his own magic to the bars and the wall. You can't use force to break them. You'll have to find another way out..." Malia said, sighing.

Abaddon sighed as well, seeing Future Brachi being held by Future Xenest, the former shivering in his embrace.

"So, how do we get out of here?" Tatsu asked.

"We'll think of a way, but we should be cautious... Ruthas could come here at any time..." Malia said, shivering.

"What for?" Lea asked.

"For torture sessions..." Malia said, shivering.

Brachi saw Lea sitting down, comforting a distraught Sheila as the latter was crying, evidently having faced her worst nightmare, Judy was doing the same with Dielec, Gina was trying to get a catatonic Anne back to her senses, Celicia was hugging Majin Bara, whom just finished regenerating her own wounds and was preparing to generate a healing beam for the rest of the group, akin to how Super Buu spread his Chocolate Beam over the Lookout many years ago, but this time to a more positive use.

Yango and Tatsu were meditating to calm their minds, like Piccolo did. Busa looked like she had a heart attack, being tended to by Rabi whom had recently gone Super Saiyan, while Shonfu and Tamar were gripping their heads because of a major headache. The female demon whom had tried to heal Brachi before was now in the cell where Piccolo was, sitting in a corner as she silently whimpered. She sighed deeply, pitying all of her friends, but she felt sorry for Tempest and Xeno as well as Abaddon and Malia the most. She smiled sadly as she noticed a faint, light golden outline around both Tempest and Xeno whom held each other closely as the couple cried out their sorrows together after having gone through their own hell, evidently looking for their support and comfort in each other, coupled with the love they held for each other.
 
Solaris looked at the ceiling.

"I doubt he'll have let that trick you pulled earlier work Majin. I doubt the Gem of Immortatily would work, and only Godfrey would be able to leave if it did." He mused.
 
Just then, the doors of the room slammed open, startling the whole group as the other prisoners again shivered in fear, moving away from the cell doors as the one being they feared came in, headed for the 'new inmates' as he walked towards them.

The group by itself could sense the raw power the demon possessed, making it clear he wasn't a pushover in the slightest. His wings hung idly behind him, yet his entire body showed off a sense of seriousness and intimidation which people couldn't ignore.

Malia, out of personal experience and habit, let out a frightened yelp as she was startled by the violent opening of the door, while another yelp was courtesy of Anne, whom was one of the more sensitive members of the group as a whole...
 
"Oh boy, if it isn't big bad Ruthas, ready to huff and puff his way through us." Lucifer mocked Ruthas with a laugh.

Oriko's eyes were twitching. Not at Lucifer's snarky comment, but at the sight of Ruthas himself.
 
Soon enough, Ruthas came into full view of the group, stopping as he stood in the hallway with the cells containing the group around him, looking them all over... studying them.

Ruthas just stood there, having a black skin with dark red veins seen within his wings, his claws and his waist areas, while his eyes were a glowing blood-red. He stood also tall, forcing most of the group to look up to him, technically being around Super Buu's height.

"My, my... such interesting cretins we have here today... all in trying to rescue your friend..." Ruthas spoke in a deep voice, cackling.

Tempest and Xeno both growled, not breaking their embrace, yet recognizing their enemy as their current source of misery, while several of the others took a few steps back. Ruthas looked around, spotting Tempest and Xeno, frowning a bit.

"Now isn't this a cute sight, two lovers holding each other like that," Ruthas said, approaching the cell which contained the two, using his own magic to raise the bars without effort, prompting Tempest to stand in front of Xeno protectively, making Ruthas stop once he stood in front of them.

Ruthas remained surprisingly silent, increasing the tension even more. It was as if the demon was studying them... it caused both Tempest and Xeno to sweat while trying to maintain their posture, while Ruthas remained as calm as ever.

Suddenly, without warning, Tempest suddenly doubled over in extreme agony as Ruthas buried his fist into Tempest's stomach area, the sudden force and the bulge that temporarily shot out of his back caused Xeno to double over in pain as well, making it a strangely effective 2-hit combo as the couple collapsed on their knees after taking a few steps back, right before both were grabbed by their hairs and lifted up, a single trail of blood running from both of their mouths, as Ruthas looked at them.

"Very brave of you trying to defend her, but as you can see, I can hurt the both of you easily..." Ruthas said, before tossing the couple towards the back of the cell, the force of the impact dislocating one of their arms each, causing the couple to scream in pain, which made Ruthas grin.

"I must applaud your dedication to each other," Ruthas then said to the downed couple, "I've seen how far you're willing to go to protect and save your significant other... the bond between you two is truly something else... this will make your suffering even more fun..."

Then, Ruthas unleashed one of his chain spears and, while taking caution not to harm any vital parts, he flung it with such a force that it went straight through Tempest's back and came out of Xeno's back, effectively impaling the couple on the same chain spear!
 
"Stop! Take me in their place!" Solaris yelled.

"You idiot!" Future Godfrey responded, clenching a fist at Solaris, who fell down unconscious.
 
Ruthas merely laughed as both Tempest and Xeno whimpered as the chain was stuck in their bodies, leaving the two inside their cell, before moving to the cell containing Future Godfrey and Solaris, looking at the unconscious Solaris...
 
Future Godfrey stared down Ruthas, but there was fear in his eyes as he wrapped darkness around his head as some sort of restraining bandage, stopping him from opening his mouth.
