Violator is captured by Badrock and taken to the Whiteside-Parsons Institute. Dr. McAllister plans on using the demon to power a machine that will open a portal to Hell so she can study it. Unfortunately, the angel Celestine discovers where Violator is being held and shows up to annihilate him (and anyone who gets in her way).
