Hydra Anyone? pt. 2 (Short)

Seeing Hajime and Yue finally join them all before the home stretch of their hell run. Easy, normal, and hard mode were never an option hell was the starting option. Shrugging this thought off Hōhei stands up to greet the two who had just arrived. Meanwhile most of the monsters were recalled into their book. Leaving only Fafnir, Fenrir, Relic, Moonlight, and Éternelle who poked her head from his eye socket. Yue saw the little monster waving, while Hajime looked annoyed to see it.

Akuma: 'Ah yes the scowl of die fucker, its ineffective against Éternell Hajime.'

Shrugging Hōhei says something about being grouchy over payback as he watches Hajime. Hajime transmuted a table into the area and tried beating Hōhei with it. Only for the target to cough, destroying the table with transmission type transmutation. Hajime scowls at this while Yue just giggles at her boyfriend's expense currently. Now with everyone at their final destination Hōhei yawns lazily with a chuckle. Hopefully this isn't their true final destination.

Akuma: "Ready for the final test? Because I plan on trying something out while having a deathmatch. If you're not ready…. Then you shall die without ever leaving this hell. Like a basic bitch."

Hajime: "Hōhei don't threaten me you damn pain in the ass! I'll kill you!"

Yue: "N Hajime is ready, he prepared.... Constantly."

Hajime looked between the two who seem to have an unspoken agreement between them. Hōhei grinned with an okay hand sign before whispering something. Hajime's own girlfriend nodded at these actions not really mentioning what was whispered. She just chose to not say it out loud before looking at the final boss doors. Hajime wanted to interject and ask why the two are acting like they are working together.

However, Éternelle had crawled her way half way from Hōhei's eye socket with excitement evident. Because it's hard to miss from the chattering noises being made. Summoning her taken over hive army as she clung to the side of his face, the room and stairs trembled as if an earthquake had started. Hajime did look amused at whatever was done, Yue and Hōhei smirked as this was a friend bonding moment, at Hajime's expense.

Once all the trembling stopped from multiple places blackened trees, ten in all, sprouted near them. As capsules dropped from the branches releasing various monsters, monsters that have been "corrupted" by the little monster. Who was happily clinging to Hōhei's face, chittering while ignoring Hajime. Yue looked around with a curious glance before nodding with a grin, as she walked over and gave Éternelle a rub on the head.

Hajime looked oddly unsettled for once at the sight seeing monsters from beginning till now gathered. All completely changed and morphed into something else. He didn't get how the other two were FINE letting the cause live. Looking at Hōhei he spoke up as he scratched his chin with a deep scowl.

Hajime: "When did that little pest get these? I never once saw it do anything to gather these! Even when you were with us, I NEVER SAW THAT THING DO ANYTHING."

Akuma looking at his friend smiled a devil's smile as he motioned around.

Akuma: "Who said a parasite needs to physically take over? If you haven't forgotten, there were the Salamanders.... Lets just say some of those became.... Faithful carriers to expand her army. The Ents became a bigger help though in the bigger picture~ of things! It's lovely, you know? With Éternelle I can essentially take over the enemy in mass and use them as suicide soldiers! Ahahaha, so how do you like the army for the final push?!"

Hajime: "That's more fucked up than my logic..... If I'm picturing everything possible."

Yue: "N but you can take on everything alone, Hōhei conquer with numbers or alone. But mostly lazily conquest."

Akuma: "Your girlfriend has a point you like killing people yourself bud. I don't care how I do it honestly, it's all the same as I'm still directing it. For as long as the end goal is met, I win, so alone or in mass I'll fight."

While everyone spoke Yue had eventually ended up holding Éternelle and petting her. The rather by now giant parasite compacting itself to being smaller. Hōhei looks at the doors with not much motivation as he remembers bits of this fight. He honestly was not that motivated but was curious to try something's out. Hajime was avoiding the corrupted monsters as he scowled and growled at them. The monsters as a whole were patiently waiting for their commands and the fight.

Looking at the doors and paying attention to the dungeon as a whole Dakota decided to test something. With his normal crimson purple sparks turning a fiery orange gold they raced across the floor.

Akuma: "『 Creation: Tiamat Hydra 』"

The sparks swayed in the center of the room before, as if responding, they converged. A bloody battle of apparent dominance against the laws of the world to fulfill their task. In the end a creature was rapidly forming from the ground up till a replica of the boss in his memories was now in the room. Yet nothing responded to its appearance; however, he felt something trying to look for him. Grinning, he looked at the other two with a victorious look. While his Hydra looked around before the white head looked at him.

With a cry it caused the other heads to look at him as well before just doing a small head dance. Why it was doing so he had no clue but it was a big child and probably imprinting on him. Wait, does this make him a mother or something? Questions for later.

Akuma: "Well Hajime, Yue think you can handle the opening act? I tested one thing I wanted and it worked perfectly, Ehit can't find us down here. Now I'm going to need time coordinating my forces before we enter the fray. But don't worry if things get dicey, something will save you, like the bog baby there, or try to since what we are facing is annoying!"

Relic: "The welp is right if I remember this guardian right then I can only hope that they have dulled. Which is likely not the case. Best bet for you pups they've probably become a mindless monster tied to the dungeon. So their combative experiences will keep you busy in trying to kill them."

Akuma: "Geez Relic way to demoralize them before they even meet their opponent!"

Hajime: "Hold the fuck on are you just going to glance over you fucking creating life?!"

Akuma: "I didn't do anything you're hallucinating. That's a sad thing to start doing before a death match."

Yue: "N? Cool down?"

Akuma: "Yeah there's a cool down on that domain now, it's powerful after all. Did you like watching the test?"

Yue: "N."

Hajime: "So I'm hallucinating but Yue seems just fine? Do you want to die, Hōhei?"

Akuma: "yep your hallucinating because I did create life, I transmuted a realistic robot. Obviously. I'm not a God I can't create life, don't be stupid."

Hajime: "Your Status Plate says you are a Demi-God you ass…"

Akuma: "His delusions are growing, I'm worried."

Hōhei acted worried and tried checking Hajime's temperature only for him to growl. Yue was trying not not to laugh at how this going since it's been a while she's seen such friendly teasing. Relic was cackling softly at what the Human Monster Hybrids were doing. Éternelle was purring? In Yue's arms loving the show because she hates Hajime. Moonlight was sharpening his claws while taking meticulous care of them. Fafnir was lost but was enjoying the chaos, Fenrir was bored and tempted to punch a cyclops.

The Hydra had silently, somehow, wandered over and stuck its tongues out like a puppy. A big scaly annoying deadly puppy that makes you want to rage quit. The boss monster was stuck in its prison still but it could technically see the intruders. Which even though it lost its mind it remembered some more happier times. As it used to travel with its master Oscar Orcus before he the end of everything.
