"Death Perception" Ninja High School#38 (May 1993) with credits to Ben Dunn(script) Ben Dunn (art), Captain Amazing Paper (Shon Howell) (inks), Tim Eldred (letters), and Dan Danko (editor)
Lendo and Aloysius (Mimi's cat familiar) are trudging their way through Hell. The burning sand portion anyway, both sniping at each other. They both start cracking up when a shadow falls over them; pity it's a giant crab monster instead of a cloud.
Back at Mimi's torture, Jeremy is finding himself unable to do anything. Yup, even in the depths of Hell Jeremy is still a nice boy. Stanley figures he'll torture Mimi for a bit, but all female members of her family are immune to his charms.
Pity that rule doesn't include female demons. Lillith goes to town on her with a pitchfork. This is enough to tock Mimi off to call upon the powers of her family's patron demon. It seems Stanley knew all about that, he just assumed Mimi didn't know.
Broken free and rather annoyed, Mimi turns her full wraith on Stanley's forces. She and Lilith engage in a full knock down magic brawl.
In a brief aside, Professor Azland finally declares his love for Mita and vows to help her find a timeline just for her.
Back in Hell, Lilith opts to retreat. She flies back to Stanley and wow, curse his sudden but inevitable betrayal! yeah, seems he's hidden Jeremy away so he can personally drain the boy of his soul. Why? Because with such a pure soul, any demon's power would be increased enough to let them possibly rule over Hell itself! And Stanley wants himself a promotion!
Then Lendo shows up! And he's ripped!
Yeah, seems time moves in strange directions in the underworld. Lendo and Aloysious are much older, wiser, and packing some serious heat. The Mimi shows up, and boy is she pissed. She does thank Stanley for everything he put her through, so as a reward she'll kill him first.
Darn good, although the Mita/Azland bit does sort of come out of nowhere but given the state Eternity Comics was in at the time, there is a sense that Dunn wanted to wrap things up.
