Was he right that it would work?
It works...but...who didn't see this coming?
The second that things return to normal to get your bearings, the sky is a warped color and the flooring is nothing but cracked stone. It's obvious where you are. Just not WHERE in where you are. "Aww. Is there no time to play with him a little longer?" The Harpy's voice is at your side and directed at Asuka and Keito, so everyone is here together at least.
Keito remains wide eyed while rubbing the back of his neck. "Well...it WOULD be fine, if it was just whatever you guys are doing together. But it's bad 'cause I kinda need to get stuff done." It's hard to know how to respond to that, but there's not a chance to. "HEY!"
It's a tiny and soft voice and already obvious who it belongs to. The Pixy flies out in front of you to look at him directly in the face. Apparently, if you're already in hell at the time, demons can just be active without summoning them actively. "You're being a bully. You said you'd help us?"
"Nah. I'm not though. I mean...I've done a TON of stuff so far and didn't really get anything out of it. Seems kinda jerkish to act like I'm the bad person here. Not like you guys, did all that much. Besides...my thing only takes like one minute." His face becomes a bit pouty before pulling out of his phone. "Alex. Asuka. Do you know why today is so special?.....it's a full moon."
A full..."Oh, shit." If you knew that sooner then you wouldn't have agreed to come here. Asuka is still confused so obviously she doesn't get what makes that such a big deal in terms of the game. "And?" The Harpy that works for her has already prepared a fighting stance on the other hand, knowing how serious this is.
"Humans can't fuse with demons. Not with NORMAL rules. But a full moon makes demonic energy run wild. If you were to try fusing in any area where there is no protection from it all...." He thought that far ahead? Asuka can only scowl however. "See? This is EXACTLY the kind of shit I thought he'd pull."
"I guess, I should get on with it, right? Tri-fusion!" The shadows behind him are too dark to see what exactly his demons are, and you can't get a good look at whatever they are before a white flash seems to cause whatever the two figures and himself are too join together as the new creation fights to take shape.
Your Pixy does have the sense to move backward and while Asuka looks as angry as ever, from the way she's looking at the area behind her, she is debating if it wouldn't be better to just run. Which might not be a bad idea. Assuming he was already a lot stronger than you were, fusing himself with two other demons is not going to make things easier.
If there was time to run before however, there isn't now as the light dies down again and leaves one body.
