.....

"L...little bro?"
.
.
.
.
As The Helltaker now saw the face of the armored man, whom is now revealed to be his lost younger sibling. He was overwhelmed with emotion but couldn't get the right words out. He was also flooded with questions like "How was he alive? How is he here? Why is he wearing that armor?". All of these factors hit Helltaker like a truck as he tried to mutter something out.
.
.
Helltaker: But.. I... You......
.
.
The Slayer just stood there, knowing how this all must be affecting him, and he too was shocked to actually see his older sibling. The Slayer couldn't think of anything to say so he decided to slowly extend his hand to his brother. Helltaker didn't budge a bit, almost as if in a trance.. that was until he suddenly just jumped at the Slayer with a tight hug, tears were erupting from his eyes as he did.
.
.
Helltaker: *sniff*... B-Bro.. you're actually alive... I thought.. *hic*... I thought I'd never ever get this chance again... I'm sorry!.. I'm so sorry for being a horrible brother...
.
.
The Slayer tilted his head, as it would seem in this world that the siblings had a rocky relationship as well. This made the Slayer wonder just how identical this earth would be.. and if its future is anything like his. He wouldn't have time to process this as right now, his brother was his main priority. Slowly the Slayer raised his right arm and slowly put it on his brother's back, giving a tame but noticeable embrace back.
.
.
Helltaker: I don't know how you're here... or what happened but I do know this. I won't make that mistake again Little bro.
.
.
The Slayer couldn't help but let the faintest smile appear as the two finally ended the hug. Helltaker chuckled lightly as he eyed his brother up and down.
.
.
Helltaker: heheh.. guess you aren't really my "little" bro anymore huh?
.
.
The Slayer let a small scoff out as the silent crowd around them began to roar with cheers and applause, happy with this sudden reunion. Helltaker smiled from ear to ear as he put an arm around his reunited brother.
.
.
Helltaker: I cannot emphasize how great this is, a second chance to actually be your brother... OH! We should get back home. You will not believe what I got to show you!
.
.
The Slayer slowly nodded as the two left the park together. Along the way Helltaker tried to keep the mood up with chat, while Slayer just listened. Every once in a while he'd nod to acknowledge what his brother was saying. 15 minutes would pass before the house would be in sight.
.
.
Helltaker: You don't talk much anymore, do you?

Slayer: *shakes his head*

Helltaker: I see, well I won't force you to say anything to me. Your comfort is a top priority now bro.
.
.
The Slayer couldn't help but slightly smile at that, he was glad to see in this world his brother was making a commitment to be there for him. This could turn out to be a sign of good times for the Slayer.
.
.
Meanwhile back at the house..
.
.
.
Lucifer: So there you have the gist of it..

Pandemonica: His brother.. was the one and only Doom Slayer?

Lucifer: Correct.. he is the physical embodiment.. of a one man army.
.
.
Lucifer had finished explaining the identity of Helltaker's brother, ranging from his looks, arsenal, abilities, and feats. Needless to say the others were utterly shocked, now knowing about the Demon slaying bane of hell known as the Doom Slayer.
.
.
Judgement: So why are you informing us of this? You said his brother is dead.

Zdrada: Yeah, so like.. there's nothing to be worried about. The fucker is long gone.
.
.
Lucifer gave them a scowl that could kill, for she has witnessed the Slayer's carnage first-hand.
.
.
Lucifer: DO NOT underestimate the Slayer, he has survived world-threatening phenomenon. By that logic, he could still be around.. and if not of this world.. then a Slayer from another world could come. He has the technology.

Justice: Not gonna lie to ya, as dangerous as he sounds. This guy sounds awesome as hell!
.
.
Lucifer and Judgement both scowled at Justice, arguing as to how Justice found it cool. In the meantime Cerberus waltzed to the front window, watching for a couple minutes. Until they let out an audible gasp, gathering everyone's attention.
.
.
Judgement: What is it??
