Hmm. Half a Diablo doesn't inspire much fear when he most needs it, but when he is fully powered and spreads fear like wildfire, he doesn't need it anymore

The prime evils will never be destroyed for they are evil spirits. Think of the movie, "The Exorcist of Emily Rose". Remember when she was in the barn and they were trying to finish the exorcisim, picture that being Diablo. I do have to say that as long there is hate in the world, there will be Mephisto. As long as there destruction in the world, there will be Baal. And finally if there is people terrorizing others, there will be Diablo.

Those before me shall quiver in my wake as I unleash the fury within!
That creates a paradox. For to destroy Baal, we would obviously have to use destruction. Wouldn't destruction directed against him then only give him strength though?
As Ormus said it: "How does one destroy Destruction? How does one force Terror to flee in fear. You have great tasks ahead of you Ormus thinks."

Stars aligning fragments of the memories
Parallel truth, awaken in translucence
Sealed by this deadened song
Sinking in toneless comatose
Come and tear my skin, fear what's within
Its massive darkness filling my world
Submerged rage writing unspoken words
i reckon, the place the three prime evils were sent to (the abyss, another plane of existenece, whatever) is ruled by some uber-lord never before heard of. He chooses to infuse his essence with the power and body of the prime evils, and sends them back into the mortal realm to carry out his doing (which can only be done now the worldstone is gone). After you fight them all once, you unwittingly free them of the uber-dude's possession and they are out to wreak havoc yet again, and you get to kill them...again. And once you've done that, you then follow the prime evils into that yonder realm and finsh them, and the uber-dude off, once and for all (supposedly...).
Yep, there's my imagination at work for ya. Knock yourself out, and dont yell at me saying that all that isnt possible for some reason or some crap. It's just an idea.

someone needs to brush up on their abyssal/voidal lore. an abyss or void is an eternal prison. if you recall that one episode of Family guy where the griffins took holiday trip to purgatory, it is much like how it portrayed purgatory. or the void from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time, again the abyss in diablo is like that.
someone trapped in an abyss or void can be released or freed, through several means, most likely of all is by the rites of summoning.

figured id just do another one of my reposts of info so people dont have to read through several pages of this thread
Quote from "D-Day.77" »
Um his soul stone was never destroyed so u know maybe he will just posses another hero like ur old one because u killed him like before.
why must every 11 minutes of my life be filled with misery and woe, why must i write essays to explain things people should already know
the only stone never to have been seen being destroyed is baal's so would all you idiots who say diablo's stone was never destroyed please shut the fuk up. and please for the love of god get it through your heads, the prime evils do not need soulstones to exist. especially now seeing as they have been destroyed. mephisto's and diablo's are destroyed in the same movie. you see a crimson stone get smashed followed by an azure stone being smashed, you dont see baal's stone being destroyed, but since diablo's and mephisto's stones had to be destroyed, the same must be said about Baal's.
prehaps baal's stone was never shown being smashed, as someone putting a soulstone in the forehead is very over used and Blizzard wouldnt use that concept again. especially since the prime evils dont actually need them.
they ruled over the burning hells for years(note no soulstone), the lesser evils rebelled against them (note no soulstone), they were banished to the mortal realm from Hell (note no soulstone), they ran rampant in the world of sanctuary (note no soulstone), mephisto is captured and his essence placed in a soulstone and buried beneath a temple in kurast, Baal is catured in the desert, but due to his destructive nature, breaks the soulstone the Horadrim try to trap his essence in, tal rasha sacrifices himself to replace the lost part,(which has no magic energy), diablo is captured and his essence trapped in a soulstone and buried beneath the cathedral at tristram.
the soulstones only came into play when they were captured in the mortal realm.
Mephisto and Diablo, escape their inprisonment in similar ways, they haunt the dreams of someone, (i think mephisto did this) Diablo haunts the dreams of Lazarus, while mephisto haunts the dreams of a council member. the first choice for someone to be the embodiment of Diablo is King Leoric, but he is old, and it does not work, so they move on to the next person the Prince Albrecht. a similar situation occurs in the jungles of kurast, a council member is chosen to be the embodiment of Mephisto. They soulstones are placed in the body of the chosen person and the prime evil slowly takes over.
when killed, then essence from the stone, returns to the stone, this is seen in the end movie of diablo 1, diablo reverts back to the prince, then the prince dies shortly after. The warrior picks up the soulstone places it in his head and the process is repeated.
Baal is inprisoned withing a partial stone and the mage tal rasha, who after years of torment finally becomes the embodiment of Baal.
once released all three prime evils meet in the Durance of Hate, the location of Mephistos inprisonment (durance means prison), Diablo in the form of the warrior, assumes his true form, it is unclear if mephisto is in his true form, nor Baal for that matter, but what is important to note, is the fact that Baal is there, he is still pretty much in the form of tal rasha, but he has through his long peroid of attachment to Baal, gained some of his powers, and there is something else, oh thats right no soulstone!!! marius has Baals soulstone. he doesnt have his soulstone and the other two prime evils are either oblivious or dont care.
Baal does not get his soulstone back till almost the end of the last movie, then he burns down the asylum.then LOD begins, in this same movie we see a large hand (possible the barbs) smash first a crimson soulstone (diablo's) then a azure soulstone (mephisto's). the only stone not destroyed here is Baals, but that is because he has not been killed yet.
now things get alittle weird, now with diablo and mephisto becasue their stones were whole, they were simply placed in a host body's forehead, and the slowly took over the body. now with Baal is a little different, Tal Rasha was used to replace part of the soulstone. Baals soulstone is never placed in the body of tal rasha again since marius removes it. in LOD he holds in around his neck on a chain of some sort.
Baal is finally defeated, and the worldstone which has been corrupt is destroyed. while corrupt, it allowed a multitude of demons to pour through into the mortal realm, the exact effect not having a worldstone will have on the world is unkown at this point, a sequel to d2/LOD will most likely have something to do with this. and the fatc that the prime evils are trapped in the abyss, as this is where smashing their soulstones forces the essence to go.now as any one who has seen or read the share of fantasy movies/tv shows/games will now no one ever stays in an abyss for long take the zelda series for example, in Ocarine Of Time (OOT) you trap ganondorf (ganon) in the abyss, yet he returns in Wind walker (WW). the most common way for some one to return from an abyss is a summoning spell and or ritual. this more often than not caused the person or persons to undergo some sort of change, as they are never in the same form when the return as when they went in. usually the return more beefy and cooler looking.
depending on how long it takes him to come back the wound could heal? if not it will remain like this
Azmodan and Belial both have strong armies but neither one can seem to decimate the other. no they kinda both rule hell. it was these two who banished the prime evils, so i dont think they would be the ones to summon them back. the prime evils did destroy 1/3 of the entire armies of hell, but thats not to say that they wouldnt try it, if they see no other way of defeating each other they might try summoning one if not all of the prime evils. but I dont think heaven would allow this to happen, allowing the prime evils to return would not be something heaven would want.

I don't precisely imagine the Abyss as a prison, more the space which encompasses all of creation. A prison indicates a higher purpose or otherwise intellect behind it, while something from where everything comes from still allows Heaven and Hell to be the top "gods" or whatever you want to call them.
