Hellbinders Page #5

---

As long as they stand against

you it doesn't matter.

Why, Cain? The holy land is

a thousand years behind us.

Look around you.

My kin and I are among

the lesser evils this

city has to offer.

You won't be among

anything much longer.

It's always the same

with you Crusaders,

unwilling to bend

until you break.

Fortunately, you don't have

the strength to break me.

Maybe we don't.

Maybe we lose this final

battle between us and end up

back in the pit

after all this time.

You only make Beelzebub

that much stronger.

I don't have to deal with him.

You will when he comes

to collect,

and he will come to collect,

whether you think you have

a bargain with him or not.

If you're going to choose

between two evils,

you should really

choose the lesser.

Isn't that why you're still

here, after all this time?

The price of redemption.

George...

He's gone, Max.

Are you. . . you?

What happened?

At first I thought I was just

hearing voices then...

Then this endless nightmare I

couldn't wake up from until...

You were right. You were

right about the voices,

right about bad feeling,

right about everything.

I'm sorry I got you into this.

Into what Max? What

the hell is going on?

It's complicated.

No, not complicated, just

really f***ed up.

There's a demon, a bunch

of 'em, named Legion.

He...they are trying to open

up the gates of hell,

take over the world

or at least the city.

Me and that guy and a monk...

well sort of are trying to stop

them...

and I'm f***ed either way

because I've got no soul.

Told you it was f***ed up.

I should have been here.

You didn't know.

Part of me did, this

is what I keep missing...

it's the same every time.

Every time what?

He dies so I can

find redemption.

And I keep repeating

it, this life...

I keep coming back

to save him ...

And I failed again.

What happened?

Tetsuro!

[SCREAMS]

We should offer 'em

both a proper burial.

Then get ready for tonight.

What happens tonight?

Everything. It all ends,

one way or another.

Count me in.

Carmen...

Don't Carmen me. George is

dead, I have been violated,

in some way I can't

even begin to imagine,

and there's no where to

run to if you fail anyway.

We're going right

back to the opium den.

Like I said, count me in.

Fine.

One thing. . .

Leave Tetsuro to me.

I got no problem with that.

Doesn't matter who kills who

anyway. Tonight they all burn.

Our enemies approach.

Then hold them off.

How much longer?

As long as it takes you to

complete the ceremony ...

But you still need a sacrifice.

It's been arranged.

[DEMONIC CHANTING]

[GUN SHOT]

Go!

Give me thirty seconds.

Okay, 15... 14...

13... Ah bullocks, go!

I said thirty seconds!

I count fast.

Where's Tetsuro?

[GUN SHOTS AND FIGHTING]

[DEMONIC CHANTING]

The gates are opening!

[GUN SHOT]

Max hurry!

[DEMONIC CHANTING]

[SCREAMS]

[GUN SHOTS]

Go! Just go, Max!

You're too late, Cain.

You still have to be alive

to complete the ceremony.

I know.

Max...

No!

Die like you've lived, a fool.

[DEMONIC NOISES]

[SCREAMS]

I've grown a thousand

fold since we last fought.

And I have help this time.

[DEMONIC CHANTING]

We can't win.

We don't have to.

We just need a sacrifice to

open

up the gates.

What?!

If that body falls into hell

the demons possessing it

will be

trapped there forever...

besides, I've lived long

enough.

It's the only way.

Ryu, now!

[SCREAMS]

[LOUD NOISE]

[SCREAM]

Pity, dying a final death

in this miserable place.

Yeah... Sucks.

And after you've

done so much for me.

Little late for payback.

Maybe there is

one small favor...

Never can stay out of trouble.

That's why you're

one of my favorites.

Something's coming out!

Wait!...

Max?

Just give me a sec...

You okay?

Got my soul back.

Figures that's

where it would be.

Look whose talking.

Besides there's plenty

of time for redemption.

And plenty of opportunity.

Your friend is gone

and so is the book.

She was still possessed,

the whole time.

And able to hide it from me.

What's left of Legion in the

world is still dangerous.

Including Tetsuro,

he never showed.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the

whole world

is gonna end any minute now.

That tune's

getting a little old.

Try listening to it for

eight hundred years.

I'd open the gates of hell

myself before that happens.

I've considered it.

Is that humor?

The world must be about to end.

One question, in all of then

endless plains of the abyss...

How did you find your own soul?

Some old geezer

brought it to me.

Some old geezer?

Yeah. Said his name was...

Bella something.

Beelzebub.

Yeah, you know him?

I can already see how

this is gonna to go.
