The inner pentagram devil known as Asmodeus convinced Hell and Lucifus that he could capture the angel known as Guinevere and bring her to Hell for Satan's enjoyment. After all, she had broken the Heaven/Hell treaty by sneaking into Hell. Heaven could hardly complain if Hell broke the treaty too. Satan agreed to lend him some gold for expenses and arranged for him to borrow a space ship from Burger King, the CEO of Lucifus.

Weeks later, Galahad, Shields and Winnie were visiting one of the Greek God planets on a trade mission when all three were captured and placed in a Lucifus spaceship. That ship blew up before it could transfer the prisoners, leaving only feathers behind. Satan had warned Asmodeus that angels could blow themselves up with devastating results, so he wasn't too surprised. However, a Cosmos investigator started asking accusatory questions. Not to worry. Burger King and Satan had already planned their response. Admit to nothing; blame everything on Asmodeus.

Asmodeus knew what would happen to him if if he returned to Hell without the angels, Satan's gold, and Burger King's ship. So, he decided to visit Angelion and search for Zelda, his daughter who had caused all his problems. He learned that angels were easy to kill in the darkness. That prompted Angelion to call for help. Heaven provided some devil-sniffing dogs who also had lasers and powers of invisibility, but they were just there to steer Asmodeus into a one-on-one battle to the death. Claws versus talons.
