Hey guys!

'Dude…Fuuuucccckkkk.'
James could only sigh, lying on the ground next to Adam. Compared to Adam, he seemed uninjured, his body being serene compared to the nasty burns all over Adam's body that was putting him in agony, however, that was only on the surface. The six human souls were almost out of power, but they could allow him to not feel pain, nor show it on his body.
However…
He looks down on his hand, the tips of his fingers on his right hand already swiftly turning into dust.
His time was now.
He could only turn his head at Adam, seeing an angel in the distance. "Sir!" Lute yelled, swooping down and looking at her leader in pure fear. She immediately dropped her spear, slowly picking him up, her face contorting with every sound of agony that Adam made before grabbing his halo off of his head. "Everyone retreat right the fuck now. Code: Black, I repeat Code fucking Black!"
She managed to get him over her shoulder before flapping away slowly, moving towards the golden portal in the sky to go back to Heaven, but James couldn't care about any of that. "Dude, I suck ass." He thought out loud, rolling onto his stomach before shakily standing up, his right hand almost benign entirely rid of fingers in general. "Hotel…I need to get to the hotel…" He muttered, getting ready to start running at full speed, but it seems like he doesn't even need to do that.
In only a moment, a portal opened directly in front of him, a red blue tackling him to the ground. "Hi Niffty." Was the only words he could get out before almost everybody swarmed him. Daki swiftly used her obi to support him while Charlie kneeled down to be next to him. However, Angel Dust was the only one left out, still standing while just looking down.
"You're dying, aint'cha." He said, more of a statement than a question.
"...Yeah."
"..." He let out a shuddering breath before raising his head, revealing the tear streaks going down his face. "Fuck all of you!" He yelled up at the exorcists retreating, walking forward.
"The one time things were going fucking great in my life and you just swoop down here and fuck it all up! Every single fucking year you come down here and kill every single goddamn sinner you see, fuck over everyone in sight, but when you lose somebody you run away!?" He yelled, his throat becoming raspy just from how hard he was screaming.
"Fuck you, godamnit!" He looked around, seeing the angelic spear before picking it up. In a moment of hysterical strength and his stand layering around his arm, he chucked the spear farther than he could ever throw anything before. The spear rippled through the air, only barely reaching Lute's back, lodging itself inside of her. Thankfully for her, she was already almost in the portal, collapsing inside of it. Only seconds later, all of the other angels were inside, the portal closing in on itself.
"Angel Dust, please…" James said, his arm from the elbow down being completely gone at this point. "It's okay, I promise." He used the force, picking himself up and lifting Angel towards him, albeit barely. He slotted in crystal caesar in his ability slot, forming a small crystal heart that he put in Angel's hands. "If any of you want to talk to me, then just talk into this. Wherever I'm going, I can talk back, and we'll have a laugh about it when I'm back here."
"B-b-but you're–" Niffty stuttered out, not even finishing her sentence before James used the force on her, lifting her up to his face to plan a kiss on her lips. Unfortunately it seems like the dusting sped up, his whole right arm and a decent chunk of his right side being gone.
"WHEN I come back, that's a promise, no ifs, ands or buts." He said, patting her on the head right before his legs gave out, the dust spreading to them. "C-c'mon, have I ever lied to you before?" He said with a shaky smile, trying to ignore looking down.
"You lied that you wouldn't get hurt like this again, you piece of shit." Niffty retorted with a sad smile, touching his chest as James looked at her for a bit…And then started to crack up.
"HAHAHA, I guess I did, huh? Man…I'm a pretty bad boyfriend." He said ruefully, touching his head to Niffty's. "That joke, though? That was… That was lowkey pretty… Pretty funny…" He said, his last words being a small chuckle before his head was turned into dust.

This is a palace between dream and reality
Between mind and matter
James…Welcome to the Velvet room
"Oh, hi Alicia."
…Fuck you mean, "Oh, hi Alicia?!"
The room that James was in was familiar to him as an active Persona fan. It was a giant elevator, one that seemed to be constantly going down, the whereabouts of which were unknown. There were dark blue velvet curtains and fabric everywhere, even the couches that James and Alicia sat upon just apart from each other were made out of velvet.
"You knew that it was me all along!?" Alicia exclaimed. She had long blonde pigtails with pure white skin and a bluebell colored dress.
"Well, not all along." James retorted, rubbing the back of his neck. "I mean, I had a pretty good feeling since I got back from Heaven and I already picked up some vibes from the black ticket that felt like you. I didn't think it was you exactly, but I thought it just had your personality."
"Awwwwwww, man." She groaned out, leaning back on her couch. "Man, I was gonna do this whole dramatic schtick about what I am, but… Ugh, you at least you kinda got the personality thing wrong."
"Whaddya mean?"
"Well, it's weird, y'know?" She puts a hand up to her chin. "When you died of cancer, I picked you up. I'm an eldritch god by the way. I–"
"Excuse me?"
"I put my essence into this gacha system, my very soul." Alicia continued, completely ignoring James' objection. "The original me's consciousness died when bringing you here and I'm more of a copy that had all of her original experiences along with the memories of being with you and talking through the black ticket. Hell, I was kinda in B2A as well, who do you think helped break Angel Dust's contract?"
"That was all you?"
"Yuppers." She stated simply before standing up and beginning to stretch. "Alright, I guess our time's coming to an end." She said, her figure starting to become see-through.
"What are you talking about?" James asked, walking over and inspecting her.
"Chill out, didn't I tell you already? I'm fading." She said, no sadness, no anger, like it was just a face as equal as 2+2=4. "Welp, guess I should be hitting the ol' dusty trail. I don't wanna overstay my welcome even if we could be here for a couple days, so I'll give you a little gift." She cracked her neck and stuck out her hands, electricity crackling between them.
An immense amount of power started to build up in his hands, enough so that this space that the two were in started to warp and bend, the very air beginning to compress in her hands until a small purple ticket manifested. "Here." Was the only word she could say before falling down on the couch again, tossing the ticket to James.
He snatched it out of the air, ripping it instantly.
[1x Mythical Ticket]
[Ceo of Sex]
|Mythical Trait|
You are the CEO of Sex, as in, you are the one chosen by sex. It is conceptually impossible for you to be an unsatisfying sexual partner, no matter who you are up against. You can easily tell someone's kinks and preferred partners at a glance, and all sexual actions you take are greatly enhanced. You can finger the earth to make a geyser spurt out, and you can thrust into the ocean to let the waves carry you to where you need to be.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"......"
"Alicia, you haven't faded away yet, I can see your face, why are you trying not to laugh? That's disrespectful as shit, bro."
Alicia couldn't respond, as she was busy holding her stomach laughing on the couch even as her legs faded away. James on the other hand, just sighed before pondering something.
'B2A…Give me something that can purify souls, item or power.'
Rolling…Rolling…
You received a nameless Asauchi
SHINK
"...Okay, I know I laughed a little hard, but you don't need to stab me!" Alicia cried, though she really couldn't feel the sword going through her skull.
"I thought you watched anime when you were alive, you big frickin' nerd." He says, kneeling down next to her head, the only part that hasn't faded away. "It's an asauchi, it'd guide your soul to heaven, but since you're already dead, now you're gonna reincarnate as a human fully without any of your memories of me…Well, assuming this works on 'EldriTcH BeiNgS'."
Alicia took all of it on the chin, though doing her best not to cry. "Hey James, I don't believe in religion…So fuck those angels and Lucifer!"
"Wait, what? What do you mean by that–"
POOF
James could never ask his question as in an instant
He was in heaven.

The…Beginning?
Adam Kadmon opened his eyes to the green of Eden.
He didn't remember what he was doing before opening his eyes, but he didn't think it mattered.
He walked around the luscious garden, not even reacting as a snake wrapped around his arm while he picked up an apple, simply taking his new friend with him.
Over time, more and more animals started to walk beside him, on him, around him. He didn't mind, he was the king of Eden after all, every single one of his subjects loved him.
He kept walking, mindlessly chewing on the apple until he came across a bench right in the middle of the garden.
None of the animals were following him anymore, he even had clothes on now.
He approached the bench, sitting down and looking over to see (Eve? Lute?) looking up wistfully, their (Grey? White?) skin shining under the sun.
"You're such a trouble maker (Addy? Sir?)" She pouted, looking over at him and crossing her arms. "You always needed me to bail your sorry butt out of situations like these. This is the last time, okay?"
Adam didn't respond.
(Eve? Lute?) Reached over to him, touching his arm. However, at the same time, her skin turned an inky black, reflecting the now grey forest around the two.
"Remember, Adam. I need you to remember. Remember me, remember Eve, Lute and the others."
But before he could say anything
Adam Kadmon woke up to the white of Heaven's Hospital…
Along with the flatlining of his lieutenant next to him.

THE END…For real this time.
WOW! What an ending, huh?
I think I really interconnected Adam and James' endings (for now) and themes together. They're meant to kinda be parallels/ dark reflections of one another...Well Adam is more of a dark reflection of James than vice versa, but you get the point.
Anyway, I know that this fic is just gonna be on hiatus, but damn…It's like saying goodbye. When I first started this thing, the original story, I didn't think much of it, just writing some bullshit back in January 2025. Imma keep it 100, I don't even like Hazbin that much, but this fic means so much to me because I structured it like a story in my mind.
I planned out a lot about this fic, both in the original and this one, building up characters in my mind that I wanted to just skip to, but I knew I had to build them up first.
Shit's crazy, man.
Oh yeah, before I go, the jumpchain fic's out. On both Webnovel and Questionable Questing, it's called "This jump is Fire!" he first chapter isn't that much, just a springboard to get everything in motion, being much shorter than the 3k word minimum I'm trying to achieve.
For real this time…
LOVE YOU, BBBBYYYYYYYEEEEEEEE ♥️♥️♥️♥️
