Neo decided to go, and bring Jack.
He used his Grim Reaper badge.
A portal formed before him, and in the next blink, he stood on the other side of the massive gates of the Underworld.
Gremory's presence lingered faintly around the area like a watchful warden, as always.
Neo's gaze turned to a familiar growl that rolled across the dark ground.
Cerberus was there, the great three-headed hound, its eyes sharp and ears pricked.
But instead of guarding the gate, it was barking furiously at something above.
Neo followed its gaze.
Up on the chandeliers, balanced with unnerving grace, was a black cat.
It didn't seem threatened in the slightest.
Instead, it lay sprawled across the cold metal, tail flicking lazily back and forth, looking as if it were bored with the whole ordeal.
The moment Neo appeared, Cerberus's barking stopped.
The beast turned, and the shift was instant.
