Takes place in "One-Shot Intervention" by Canadian_Caesar

Notes:

• Inspired by One-Shot Intervention by Canadian_Caesar

Hi everyone! Sorry for being inactive lately, just busy studying is all

Anyways, Canadian_Caesar gave me permission to write a fanfic of his fanfic (pretty ironic huh?)

The fanfics name is "One-Shot Intervention" as you can see from above, I suggest checking that out if you can.

 

Anyways hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 1: Realization

In all his days of being a ruler within his realm, Lucifer never expected it to come down to this.

 

Standing above him was Sera, The High Seraphim. She was covered head to toe with armour akin to a knight, with one singular eye engraved into her breastplate, and most importantly, that one helmet he forgot the name of, but looked as if it had a mane. He internally chuckled for a millisecond.

 

All the while he, Lucifer, was on the ground standing on one knee, clutching his body that was impaled multiple times by her weapon, he didn't even have enough time to register what even happened in that time frame.

 

“Sera….” Lucifer said as he heavily coughed up blood, still clutching his body as hard as possible to contain the bleeding as he watched The High Seraphim advance towards him.

 

 

"ALL THE INNOCENTS YOU'VE SLAUGHTERED TO FEED YOUR INSANE AMBITIONS, ALL THE DAMAGE DONE TO CREATION BECAUSE OF YOUR-....”

 

 

The rest of her words fell on Lucifer's deaf ears as he was slowly drifting in and out of consciousness, but one thing he felt is fear, terror even. He glanced around for a bit, seeing both angels and sinners alike having halted their fight to watch this commotion get on, before attempting to refocus his attention on Sera.

 

As soon as he done, he suddenly felt a heavy foot stomp onto his chest, knocking the air out of him as he stared up upon the raised spear above his head.

 

 

"I WON'T LET YOU HURT ANYONE EVER AGAIN, LUCIFER.”

 

 

He was pretty sure he heard his daughter scream at the declaration, but it was all in vain.

 

Lucifer knew this was his end.

 

He watched as the spear came down upon his chest, it was as if time slowed down for him.

 

But then….he felt something. No, he gained something.

 

Like a spark from a supernova, something just….clicked at that very moment, and he doesn't know why.

 

But before he could think any further, he felt the excruciating pain from his chest as the spear plunged through, spewing his blood everywhere on himself, the ground and even some on Sera.

 

(“Fuck me….can't believe this Is how it ends….”)

 

He felt his consciousness slowly leave, as he stared upon the pentagram in the sky. His time was up.

 

 

Sayonara everyone….

 

 

 

---

 

 

 

Suddenly, Lucifer felt his body jolted in surprise, as his mind was feeling fuzzy.

 

Quickly rubbing his eyes, he noticed he was in his workshop, with each of the crowns covered in layers upon layers of ducks, in fact, he noticed he was in the middle of working on one, which was now on the ground.

 

“Ugh….What….what just happened?...” He said to himself as he clutched his head, trying to figure out what just happened.

 

 

He was slowly starting to remember some things, such as having a fight with Adam for some reason, and the next he found himself at Seras mercy.

 

But….what was he doing here? Was he day dreaming while making another one of his ducks? That usually happens a lot…

 

Yeah….maybe that was the case, and he wasn't going crazy or something.

 

He sighed to himself as he went over to pick up his fallen duck.

 

Although, right before he was about to resume his work, he heard something on the news from his TV nearby.

 

“For those airheaded simpletons who are unaware of what's going on, The Exterminators have called off their usual schedule of slaughtering us sinners, in favour of focusing all of their forces on Charlie Morningstar, AKA The Princess of Hell, and the residents of the failure of a hotel!”

 

That bitch who he was pretty sure named Katie spouted out.

 

“That's right Katie! Those two are having an all out battle as we speak. And from the looks of it, it seems it's in the favour of Adam and his lackeys!” 

 

The guy with the gas mask exclaimed, he honestly couldn't be bothered to remember his name.

 

“Quite embarrassing isn't it? I thought her skanky ass would put up a better fight, don't you think?” Katie said.

 

“Right on that one! But we'll see how skanky her ass will be once this Is all over ....” The gas masked dude exclaimed as he elbowed Katie, who had a face a slight annoyance.

 

 

Oh well

 

 

 

 

 

 

….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait…..

 

 

 

 

 

“Oh….”

 

 

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

 

 

“SHIT!”

 

Lucifer screamed to himself as he immediately spawned in his wings, before flying right through his wall and out into the open air.

 

Fuck, how didn't he know? This…this Is gonna look real bad on his end.

 

 

…

 

 

No matter, he has a daughter to protect, and if that bitch Adam dares to attack her, then so be it!

 

Your days are over!

 

 

 

---

 

 

 

Next thing he knew, suddenly half of the entire Pentagram City had been vaporised, the rest were engulfed in flames.

 

Lucifer looked down upon the destruction with a horrified look on his face.

 

He looked around, everyone was in panic, the sinners, the residents of the hotel, the cannibals, even Adam and the Exterminators were freaking out over what just happened.

 

But what really made it worse was Charlie.

 

He saw her, standing in ash, mixed with god knows how many sinners that perished in the attack….

 

 

 

Crying….

 

 

 

Anger and fury reignited his spark, as he suddenly charged towards the being he ‘certainly’ remembered as “Uriel” with all of his might.

 

And yet, he found his fist stopped by some force, a force so strong he couldn't get out of it.

 

Looking up upon the giant figure, fear began to settle in once more, suspiciously like that feeling he had back at his home.

 

And this, Uriel, The Guardian of Eden, uttered one last command he would hear throughout his lifetime.

 

 

 

 

 

“Die.”

 

 

 

 

 

---

 

 

 

Suddenly, Lucifer found his body jolted in surprise, as he felt his mind feeling incredibly hazy.

 

He looked around as he gained his bearings, finding himself in his usual workshop, which was covered in various ducks.

 

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait….

 

 

Didn't he have this exact experience before….?

 

 

Standing at his workshop.

 

 

Mind feeling foggy.

 

 

And….

 

 

The news….

 

 

He turned his attention to the news on his TV.

 

 

“For those airheaded simpletons who are unaware of what's going on, The Exterminators have called off their usual schedule of slaughtering us sinners, in favour of focusing all of their forces on Charlie Morningstar, AKA The Princess of Hell, and the residents of the failure of a hotel!”

 

That bitch who he was pretty sure named Katie spouted out.

 

“That's right Katie! Those two are having an all out battle as we speak. And from the looks of it, it seems it's in the favour of Adam and his lackeys!” 

 

The guy with the gas mask exclaimed, he honestly couldn't be bothered to remember his name.

 

“Quite embarrassing isn't it? I thought her skanky ass would put up a better fight, don't you think?” Katie said.

 

“Right on that one! But we'll see how skanky her ass will

be once this Is all over ....” The gas masked dude exclaimed as he elbowed Katie, who had a face a slight annoyance.

 

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

 

Something is not right.

 

 

 

 

Really.

 

 

 

 

REALLY not right.

 

 

 

 

And he feels afraid.

Chapter 2: Causality

Summary:

Lucifer confronts Adam once more, but after something weird happens, he finally comes to his senses.

Notes:

Idk how to feel about this chapter but I hope y'all enjoy it regardless 😄

Things were not going right for the Morningstar, 2 memories back to back? A dream within a dream? Unless he has really lost it, this CAN'T be a coincidence.

 

Everything is starting to get clear…..battle at hotel…..giant white figure….sword as hot as the sun…..rage….

 

And the other….battle at hotel…..Sera….spear….death….

 

 

….

 

 

He needs to find out what's going on.

 

Turning to face his wall once more, Lucifer unveiled all 6 of his swings before flying straight through his wall and into open air, the pieces of glass and centuries old cement flying across his face as he did.

 

His little Charchar is still in danger, maybe she knows what's up?

 

“Please please please don't be what I think it's gonna be….”

 

Gritting his teeth as hard as he could, he began to accelerate his speed, sonic booms emerging behind him as he did.

 

 

 

….

 

 

 

It didn't take Lucifer too long to arrive at Pentagram City, which seemed…. strangely quiet on a time like this.

 

Eh, probably doesn't matter, he sees the hotel up ahead, and worst of all.

 

He sees Charlie in the hands of Adam.

 

His anger skyrockets, gritting his teeth even harder they might as well break. He then began to slowly raise his fist as he approached the hotel, ready to sock Adam in the face.

 

 

……

 

 

But….he found himself hesitating….

 

 

Why is he hesitating? This Is fucking Adam! His worst enemy! He's completely inferior to someone like himself, the ruler of Hell!

 

He felt his arm shake uncontrollably, contemplating if socking Adam across the face will lead to anything good.

 

 

….

 

 

Perhaps he can deal with this in a different way.

 

 

“HEY!”

 

 

He shouted out towards Adam, who briefly turned to look at him, before Charlie would kick him in the gut, making him drop her before she scrambled a safe distance away from him.

 

Now that's my Charchar….

 

Landing gently on the broken down hotel's roof while he hid his wings once more, he clenched a hard fist and pointed an accusing finger at Adam.

 

“How about you pick on someone your own size and leave my daughter alone!” Lucifer shouted towards Adam, who looked more confused than anything.

 

Then that confusion turned into smugness, God he hated that.

 

“Well if it isn't the ruler of Shithole-land himself! What took ya so long, eh?” Adam smugly said as he crossed his arms.

 

“Long enough to hold in your bullshit, that's what!” Lucifer exclaimed.

 

“Hah! As if someone like you could hold in something as magnificent as-”

 

“Just shut up for one second.” Lucifer said as he raised a finger, signaling Adam to shut the fuck up.

 

Adam once again returned to his confused state.

 

“Look, there's something going on here, and I ain't got no time to deal with your bullshit, so I'm gonna give you a chance….

 

Leave.”

 

His voice sounded deeper at the last word, as if it were an attempt to intimidate Adam.

 

 

 

….

 

 

 

Unsurprisingly, it didn't take too long Adam to burst out laughing at such a declaration.

 

“Really? You think I, Adam, would just simply leave? B-because what? You lowe wour wittle bwitch so much?” Adam said as he ended his mocking sentence with a large grin.

 

“Talk all you want Adam, but I'm serious here, if you don't fucking leave, somethings gonna happen!”

 

 

….

 

 

“And why I should I believe that from someone as fucked in the head like you? Huh?” Adam said, there's just no getting through this guy.

 

“Besides, sounds like to me you're too much of a pussy, Lucifraud!”

 

 

 

….

 

 

Lucifraud?

 

 

Okay first off, that name is fucking horrible.

 

 

Second of all, Lucifer? A FRAUD?!

 

Of all his time ruling over this fuck ass place, Adam thinks he can call him a fraud?! What has Adam done better than him?

 

Speaking of which, why is he so worked up over this nickname?! It's so stupid, besides there's more important matters at hand!

 

But….

 

 

 

But….

 

 

 

He can't let him get away with that!

 

 

“Dad, please, don't let him get to you-” Charlie, noticing the intense anger radiating off of him, tried in vain to calm down her father, before she saw him leap towards Adam.

 

Lucifer would sock Adam across the face with a burst of flame while he was in the middle of talking, sending him crashing into the signboard and through the roof.

 

“Yeah, Who's the fraud now, Fraudam!” Lucifer boasted at the falling man as he came up with a stupid nickname for him.

 

Lucifer huffed and puffed.

 

Good riddance to him. Now that he's out of the way….

 

“Dad?”

 

Lucifer turned to face his daughter with a surprised look, he somehow forgot she was here at all.

 

“Sorry for being late Charlie, but you have to listen to me.” Lucifer said, as he ran towards her and held her shoulders tightly.

 

“Somethings going on here, and it's not the Exterminations. Please Charlie, have you seen anything off lately?” Lucifer worriedly asked as he shook his daughter ever so slightly in an attempt to get an answer out of her.

 

“I-W-What are you talki-u-um…” Charlie stumbled over her words as she tried to make sense of what her father was asking, besides the fact she's never seen him this tense!

 

“Please Charchar, I don't think we have much time! Please, have you noticed anything off-”

 

Before Lucifer could finish what he was saying, suddenly a bright light emerged from where Adam fell through. It shines so bright it nearly blinded, and what surprised him the most was the sheer aura and energy the light was giving, there might as well be a sun down there!

 

 

 

 

…

 

 

 

 

Sun….

 

 

 

 

Oh no….

 

 

“GET DOWN!”

 

Lucifer had barely enough time to shield Charlie, before a massive explosion emerged from the Hotel, crumbling it all the way back to the ground. The two were sent flying, before they crashed onto the ground nearby some cannibals.

 

Lucifer slowly let go of his Charlie after the crash landing, noticing that she had minor injuries.

 

This….

 

This isn't supposed to happen…

 

Looking up, he saw a bright ball of energy standing above the debris of the hotel, its tendrils made out of pure energy destroying the landscape around it, occasionally a sinner who got too close were immediately vaporised.

 

Lucifer stood, even if it felt like he was being shredded down to his very atom, he still stood, just to see what was even happening.

 

Everyone, from the sinners to the Exorcist we're in awe, as if they were in a trance.

 

It didn't take long before they noticed the ball of energy slowly morphing itself into something, and it became more apparent as it was human shaped, then it dropped to the ground, creating a shockwave that shook the city.

 

Emerged from the rubble, was a man, who was as tall as Sera, maybe even taller! And with him, twenty gigantic wings emerged from its back, it might as well be flexing its stature!

 

Infact, it even flexed its muscles, checking its biceps and whatnot!

 

 

“It's funny, isn't it?”

 

Lucifer should've felt something, but he only continued to stare in awe, with a slow but growing feeling crawling up his back.

 

"You ruined all of Creation with that stunt you pulled back in Eden, and spent 10,000 years either congratulating yourself for all the pain you've caused or painting yourself as a misunderstood hero. I spent the same amount of time trying to fix the damage you caused, but only now do I obtain what I've been missing for so long. Completion….”

 

The figure turned over his shoulder to look at him.

 

"Rather amusing, wouldn't you say, Lucifraud?”

 

 

That fucking name again….

 

 

“T-this….w-what?” Lucifer tried to make sense of this, as much as how much tomfoolery happens in the afterlife, this…. didn't make any sense!

 

It was obvious this was Adam, but…..big and…. muscular.

 

How exactly did that one punch turn him into this?!

 

 

No…

 

 

This isn't right.

 

 

This isn't right at all.

 

 

Turning to look at his daughter, he suddenly noticed that she, of all people, was blushing, even drooling at the sight of this man!

 

Shaking her out of this trance, he made her look into his eyes.

 

“Charlie, you and your friends must get out of here! This isn't safe for you!” Lucifer hurriedly asked.

 

“Why such a hurry? Are you afraid of others looking upon the true incarnation of what humanity is, what humanity was always meant to be had it not been for your insolence?”

 

Lucifer, using his body to shield Charlie from such sight, turned to face Adam with a defiant look.

 

“Speak for yourself Adam, you call me a fraud yet you had to pull out…. whatever this Is to even stand up!” Lucifer wasn't technically wrong, at least that's what he believed.

 

Adam chuckled again.

 

“As expected from the breaker of eden.”

 

"WAIT, WHAT!? Charlie surprised almost everyone with her outburst, standing up immediately to look at Lucifer. ”Dad, did you-?!”

 

“Now is not the time for this, Charchar, you have to get out of here now!”

 

“B-bug what Adam said, is it true?!”

 

“Do you really trust that man?!”

 

The two continue to bicker, much to the amusement of Adam.

 

Lucifer's fear continued to grow, but it is not the fear of getting absolutely obliterated.

 

Rather it is the fear that something is horribly, horribly wrong, and no one is taking it seriously.

 

“For the last time Charlie, you have to leave!” Lucifer begged by this point.

 

“He's right, you know.”

 

Both Lucifer and Charlie turn to look at Adam in surprise.

 

“i’ll admit, it's a bit of a surprise that you pay little to know acknowledgement towards my being, but I suppose I don't really care about that, hm?”

 

 

….

 

 

“Regardless, I have a deal for you Lucy. Take your daughter, and if she insists, take her Hotel friends as well. Go back to your palace, and stay there. The Exorcists and I will carry out our duties, and you get to pretend you're an attentive father. I think that's fair.”

 

Lucifer scowled at Adam's word. Standing up to his full height, he puffed up.

 

“Stop acting like you're in control of this, Adam. You think that, what? Just because I punched you once and you became a buff angel gives you the ability to walk over me? Hell no!”

 

Lucifer, against his better judgement, began to advance towards Adam.

 

“I am no mere angel, Lucy, I am something greater. And it was you who unknowingly unleashed my true self, that it shall be your downfall.

 

 

Suddenly, Lucifer came to a halt, resulting in him standing still for a few seconds. Before then, a smirk appeared on his face.

 

 

“If me punching you across the face “unlocked your full potential”, then I guess you had a……deal with the devil! Eh? Eh?”

 

Lucifer looked around, seeing if anyone caught into his joke, and it seems they did.

 

But with more surprise than laughter.

 

His smirk faded, as he turned to face Adam once more.

 

 

….

 

 

He looks angry.

 

 

“ENOUGH!”

 

Adam suddenly launched forward, feeling his fist back.

 

Lucifer didn't even have enough time to react before he was punched across the face, sending him flying back into multiple buildings.

 

Crashing into the ground, Lucifer stood up as he vomited out litres of blood, alongside multiple of his teeth.

 

“W-why you-”

 

A knee was connected to his jaw, as he was sent flying into the air once more. His blurry vision barely making out Adam aiming his palm.

 

“PERISH!”

 

 

Fuck.

 

 

Lucifer was engulfed in a beam of unimaginable angelic light. He felt his entire body being eradicated to its very atoms, as he let out a loud agonizing scream.

 

 

 

Before then…..

 

 

 

---

 

 

Lucifer found his body jolting in pain and surprise, with a loud scream as he fell onto his back, the many rubber ducks under him squeaking loudly.

 

He scrambled around for a few seconds, before he ceased his screaming, and felt his body around himself.

 

 

…..

 

"Ugh....what...what the fuck just happene-"

 

 

Suddenly, the memories began to flood back....

 

 

Okay, there definitely is something wrong, and he has finally come to the realisation of it.

 

 

“I…. remember.”

 

 

Okay maybe not exactly like Groundhog Day, but it's something similar!

 

Getting up from the floor, dusting off any ducks that stuck to him, he took one good look around his surroundings.

 

 

Workshop? Check.

 

 

Rubber ducks? Check.

 

 

News?

 

 

Turning his head to the TV, he saw that Karen Katie and that gas masked dude, talking about Exorcists attacking his daughters' hotel, and winning.

 

He finally knew it.

 

 

“I'm…..in Groundhog Day.”

 

Immediately he began panicking, he's in a fucking time loop, who wouldn't?!

 

“Oh god why is this happening?! What the fuck?! WHAT THE FUCK?!"

 

Turning to the TV once more, he remembered that his daughter was still in danger, and without thinking, he unveiled his wings, and proceeded to fly right through his wall and out into open air, although this time it was at a moderate pace.

 

 

He needs some time to think.

Notes:

So yeah, Lucifer's finally realised it! I wonder comes out of this.....

Chapter 3: Observation

Summary:

Lucifer takes Charlie away from the battlefield for a chat. In It he finds weird anomalies within their conversation.

Plus he decides to take a different approach

Lucifer was feeling a lot of emotions right now, like A LOT!

 

On top of his emotions like the fear that he would die over and over at the hands of someone he so utterly dislikes, he wondered how on earth did he even get into this predicament? And what was he supposed to do?!

 

Seeing the hotel up ahead, he considered amping his speed to launch his attack once more.

 

But once again….he felt himself hesitating.

 

He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he has a feeling that, by entering this fight alone, things would drastically change.

 

And as much as he wants to help his daughter fight against this son of a bitch, he needs to know more, more about what's going on and why is it happening

 

So he decides to do the next best thing…..

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

By charging back at the hotel at full speed, bringing both of his feet up before drop kicking Adam square in the face, that's definitely gonna leave a mark.

 

But this time, he decides he ain't sticking around, so he quickly grabbed onto his Charlie before flying away from the hotel.

 

“D-dad?! What are you doing?!” Charlie asked in a frantic and confused tone.

 

“Saving you from a catastrophe, that's what!” Lucifer snappily responded, he's not really mad, he's just got a lot on his mind.

 

“W-wait! My friends, Vaggie, the hotel, they're still there! I have to be there for the-”

 

“Now's not the time Charchar, there's more important matters at hand! Just bear with me here!”

 

 

 

It took them a bit long before Lucifer arrived at his castle once more, gently landing on his balcony before letting go of his daughter.

 

 

 

“WHAT THE FUCK DAD?! WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?!” Charlie angrily asked, it hurts to see her act like this towards him, but surely she would eventually understand.

 

“Calm down Charlie, I told you, I had to save you from a catastrophe, just hear me out!” Lucifer raised both of his arms in an attempt to calm down Charlie.

 

“Are you really that worried over me that you would rather take me away and leave my friends behind?! And what catastrophe?! I can handle Adam myself you know!” Charlie once again angrily retorted.

 

“Well that's….highly debatable but that's not what I'm talking about! Just…listen.”

 

Charlie huffed and puffed for a good while, letting her silence give Lucifer an opportunity to explain himself.

 

“You see uh….have you perhaps noticed anything…off lately?” Lucifer asked.

 

“W-what?....What do you mean?” Charlie's demeanor instantly shifted to one of confusion.

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

 

“You know what….forgot it…” Lucifer sighed to himself as he brought a hand to his chin.

 

“Do you remember anything you and your friends were doing before fighting the Exorcists?” Lucifer asked a much more clearer answer this time around.

 

“What were we doing? Uhm…I….think we were preparing to fight against them? But that's all I can remember.” Charlie shrugged to herself.

 

“Wait…. didn't you visit heaven not too long ago? Surely you must remember something from there right?” Lucifer quickly asked, but it was more of a subtle beg than anything.

 

“What are you talking about?...I don't recall visiting heaven, if I did then I would've surely remembered it.” Charlie responded with a bit of indifference as he looked up at the sky.

 

“W-what do you mean you don't recall?! It's only a few months ago, surely you must've remembered something right?!” Lucifer said panicky as he grabbed onto Charlie's shoulders.

 

“You must be hallucinating Dad, I really can't recall anything besides the fact that the Exorcists were gonna attack us!” Charlie retorted as she slowly removed her father's hands from her shoulders.

 

“Theres no way! T-this isn't right! Oh man oh man ….” Lucifer didn't like to admit it, but he was starting to hyperventilate, it was so pathetic.

 

“Dad, dad! Breathe!....look, I don't know what's gotten you so worried, but trust me….I'm old enough to make my decisions, and I have friends back there that need my help…”

 

Charlie grabbed onto her Father's shoulders, slowly and gently setting him down on a nearby comfortable chair.

 

“I….I suppose you're right, I guess….but there's something wrong Charlie, and I can't simply ignore it….” Lucifer responded, his tone was slightly relaxed although it still had a hint of panic within it.

 

“Whatever it is that is wrong, you and I can face it together. Now, can you please send me ba……”

 

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

 

 

“Charlie?”

 

Lucifer was awaiting for Charlie to finish her sentence, but after 5 seconds of silence, he turned to look up at her with a confused look.

 

 

 

Something's wrong with Charlie.

 

 

 

Her eyes had seemingly dilated as if it were a cat, not to mention the blank stare that she was doing. What's wrong with her? Was she sick? Was she seeing something?

 

“Charlie…hey Charlie, you okay?” Lucifer asked as he got up from his chair and nudged Charlie from her shoulders.

 

 

And yet the Princess just simply stood there, unmoving….and unblinking, it was really creepy and concerning.

 

 

“C-charlie! Speak to me! What's happening?!” Lucifer practically begged at this point.

 

Eventually after shaking her a few times, Lucifer decides she needs some help.

 

“Dammit! Uh…s-stay here Charchar, I'll get you something!”

 

Lucifer unveiled his wings, ready to take off once more….

 

 

….

 

 

But then….

 

 

“Oh I remember!”

 

Lucifer slowly but surely turned to face to the once motionless Charlie.

 

“I remember what happened that past few months! I really did went up to heaven not too long ago, apparently to have a discussion regarding the redemption of sinners.

 

Adam….wasn't exactly keen on that idea, and tried everything in his power to disprove it. But thankfully, we prevailed, and even got an angel on our side! Emily was her name if I recall…so yeah, that's what happened.”

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

“What.”

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

“How in the hell did you suddenly remember that?” Lucifer confusingly asked.

 

“Uhm, well I'm pretty sure I've always remembered it…”

 

 

….

 

 

Screw this.

 

 

“...You know what Charlie, I think you should take some rest here, Hm? I'll deal with the Exorcists myself.”

 

“Are you sure? I…don't want you to get hurt.”

 

 

 

…..

 

 

Heh. Yeah, if only you knew.

 

 

 

“No need to worry about little ol' me, I promise me and your friends will turn out just…..”

 

 

“WOAH!” The two exclaim out of surprise.

 

 

A rumble was felt throughout the Pride Ring.

 

 

“What the….what was that?!” Charlie worriedly asked.

 

“I don't know Charchar, but whoever caused that will surely!.....wait a minute I think I see something.”

 

Lucifer peaked over the balcony, squinting his eyes to get a closer look, something was approaching incredibly fast.

 

“Charlie, get inside, I think we have company.”

 

Charlie, of course, didn't go inside and instead opted to stay with her father, summoning her trident.

 

As the figure got closer, he began to make out some distinct features.

 

 

…..

 

 

It looked as if it wore a green power armour from head to toe minus the biceps, alongside some kind of small cannon on his shoulder.

 

But what's noticeable about it was the fact it was holding some sort of Shotgun in his hands, and it was flying straight towards them….

 

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

 

Wait a minute…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IS THAT THE FUCKING DOOM SLAYER-?!

 

 

He was barely able to raise his arms up to block a mean punch, but regardless was still sent right through his own castle.

 

“DAD!” Charlie cried out, but her screams grew further as he went through the castle.

 

Crashing onto the ground, creating a small crater, Lucifer arose. Although taking one good glance, his arms were in VERY bad shape, as in bones out in the open air shape.

 

The Slayer landed In front of him, Lucifer can feel the intense hatred underneath that helmet.

 

There's no way in hell he's able to fight the Slayer of all people in this state!

 

He was about to fly away, until he noticed the Slayer suddenly swap out its weapon for something different….

 

It was a large, shoulder-mounted weapon, with an ominous glow emanating from the weapon's tube. Aiming in the general direction of the Devil, the Slayer began charging the weapon, causing a large amount of energy to begin building in the muzzle.

 

Lucifer immediately recognised what weapon this is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

….

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Supernova.” Lucifer said in fear and awe, he never expected to see it in person in so long.

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

“WAIT NO-”

 

 

 

It fired.

 

 

 

 

---

 

 

Lucifer felt his body jolt in pain, as he suddenly was pushed a great distance into his wall. The only reason it didn't shatter upon impact was thanks to the small mountain of rubber ducks that were building up in that one spot.

 

 

Groaning In pain, he quickly stood up and shook his head to relieve any pain, as he looked around to find himself in his workshop once more.

 

 

 

 

….

 

 

 

He died again.

 

 

 

 

FUCK!

 

 

“HOW DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN?!”

 

First Sera, then some big white guy, then a buff Adam, and now THE FUCKING DOOM SLAYER?!

 

 

…..

 

 

This isn't any ordinary time loop.

 

 

 

It's something more.

 

 

 

Lucifer felt the need to break something, but everywhere he looked were his precious creations of rubber ducks, and he couldn't bring himself to do it.

 

So he simply sighed, and just chose to sit on a nearby chair.

 

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

 

That's 4 different outcomes in a row.

 

 

All happening because he laid a finger on Adam.

 

 

 

….

 

 

Adam must have something to do with this.

 

 

But he has to wonder….

 

 

How many other scenarios are there?....

 

 

He'll have to find out for himself.

 

 

 

….

 

 

 

But honestly, he's feeling a bit exhausted after going through 4 outcomes in the span of….what? A day? He can't really tell.

 

It's about time he gets to have his well deserved sleep.

 

 

Not even bothering to change into his pajamas, he simply went into his room, jumped on his bed before letting his body relax.

 

Now this feels nice….

 

 

 

 

 

……

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's been about 10 minutes and yet he still can't find himself falling asleep.

 

Even tho he still feels a bit exhausted, he still worries about what happened to his daughter in that time frame.

 

He considered just flying out there again and fight Adam, but he also had an interesting thought.

 

What if he didn't do anything? Like absolutely nothing?

 

And that's what he's doing right? Just laying on his bed…..doing nothing…..like the pathetic king he is- he shouldn't be thinking of that! It's just….an experiment he concludes.

 

After all, if he doesn't show up to fight Adam, then how exactly is he gonna die? At the very least, he just hopes Charlie comes out okay…

 

Finally after a bit, he found himself drifting to sleep, heh, took em long enough.

 

Well, it's time to see what kind of wild dreams he would-

 

 

 

…

 

 

 

Hey what's that glint he sees outside his windo-

 

 

 

*BANG!*

 

 

 

---

 

 

 

Lucifer felt his his heart and the upper half of his body jolt in pain, with his headache returning once more.

 

 

…..

 

 

Did he just …..

 

 

 

DID SOMEONE JUST KILL HIM IN HIS OWN HOME?!

 

 

WHAT THE HELL?!

 

 

“Oh c'mon! I didn't even do anything!”

 

Lucifer threw his hands up in frustration.

 

 

Clearly he isn't gonna get any rest any time soon…..

 

 

He heavily sighed as he rubbed his head.

 

What's to do….

Chapter 4: Restabilization

Summary:

Lucifer questions his sanity, but at the same time makes a discovery that could potential help him in this hell of a time loop.

 

Although, a familiar face shows up to challenge him....

It's been a few….hours? Days?....however much time passed since he slept, and it's starting to get to him.

He's been trying to come up with whatever solution he could possibly use, but those thoughts are also met with severe doubt, so much in fact that it would pretty much drown out the previous one and sooner or later, the next one.

He's THIS close to just losing it, but he knows he can't just give up, he's Lucifer after all! Whats a few deaths in a few loops gonna do to him?

 

 

 

….

 

 

 

ahem.

 

 

“Alright Lucy, think for a second….If you are in a time loop that seemingly changes depending on your actions, what should you do?....” Lucifer said to himself out loud as he put his hand to his chin.

 

 

….

 

 

That's right! Find a pattern.

 

Even if this loop seemingly changes a lot, there's always gonna be a pattern. And so, he begins his experimentation.

 

 

…..

 

 

Although he'll have to find something to write in so he could have an easier time. But the problem is, anything he writes will be simply rendered null, so there's no point.

There's gotta be a way to preserve his items…..

 

Looking around for anything useful, he saw a small table which he usually uses whenever he's NOT making ducks.

And on the side of the table, were a few ancient books which he borrowed from the Goetia family long ago, and if he remembered, never even opened one single page of any of them.

 

 

….

 

 

It's about time he puts them to use.

He checked the time, 7 minutes before he was killed in the last loop, he'll have to be quick.

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

Taking 3 minutes to set up a cup of coffee, he finally took one book from the stack, taking a deep sigh, before opening it.

 

 

He began flipping through the pages, ready to read some words while he was hyper focused on not spilling any coffee onto his lap.

 

 

 

“....Wait what was I doing again?...oh right I'm supposed to be reading.”

 

He checked his time once more just in case.

 

 

 

1 minute left, that's enough time to….

 

 

 

Wait….

 

 

 

1 MINUTE?!!

 

Dropping his cup of coffee onto the ground, he began to flip through the pages even faster, hoping that something would catch his eye.

Tossing another book aside, he immediately opened another one, hoping to find at least something that could help.

Until he did.

 

 

“Pocket of Gold” Lucifer silently said to himself.

 

Slowly calming down, he slowly began to digest the words of this spell.

 

 

Description: Pocket of Gold is a spell used usually among lesser angels in heaven and Top Overlords in hell. Using this spell creates a mini pocket dimension that can store almost anything in existence (minus a few). This spell is usually used to carry heavy luggage, weapons, or personal items, although this pocket dimension has a weight limit, so it is best to keep an eye on that.

 

How to use: To activate this spell, one would need to focus their very soul onto reality itself, this would cause a “pocket” to manifest in it. Once this is done, one would need to immediately drop an Asmodean Crystal into that “pocket”, hence by completing this spell. If the user doesn't have an Asmodean Crystal in their possession, the pocket would eventually fade away, and the user must rest before attempting a second time.

 

 

Voila! He's found his solution! If he is able to use this spell, there is a high possibility that whatever he drops into it, wouldn't go away and instead would be brought with him in the next loop!

 

Although….

 

 

*Ding!*

 

 

The moment has passed, and Lucifer awaits his demise, shutting his eyes as hard as possible.

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

But nothing came.

 

 

Opening his eyes, Lucifer looked around, expecting to have already been shot or some sort, but yet finds himself still intact.

Despite nothing happening, Lucifer feels dread, he knows that something is gonna happen that's gonna get him killed.

He can already feel it, a presence so divine even he would feel miniscule to it. But for whatever reason, that feeling eventually passed too.

 

 

…..

 

 

Perhaps something went differently during the fight without his presence and delayed the inevitable, he doesn't know what, but he's thankful.

Turning over to the book he was reading, he was about to walk over to it…. until….

 

 

 

*CRASH!*

 

 

 

“AAAAAHHHH!”

 

 

Lucifer barely had enough time to process someone barging through his door, unleashing a dark presence in the area.

He could barely make out the description as well. As far as he knows, it's a six winged seraphim that was incredibly different from any other. The figure wore an armour with the blackest of metal, engraved with swirling images of desolation, with a hood pulled over its head. He also thinks the figure had a skull for head underneath all that robes, with it's eye sockets burning with intense malice staring right at him. And finally, the figure held something in its right hand, it was most definitely a flail, the spiked head covered in intense fire.

All those thoughts culminate together to form one response.

 

 

 

“ABADDON?! WHAT ARE YOU-”

 

Lucifer was barely able to summon a holographic shield around himself before the flail was flung at him, the force so great it sent him tumbling out of his own palace.

 

Unveiling his wings once more, he stared at Abaddon not with anger, fear or hatred, but one of indifference.

 

Abaddon seems to have caught onto this too, tilting his head, wondering why Lucifer isn't acting in the way he was expecting him too.

 

Regardless, Abaddon would use his wings to fly up once more, flying so fast it appeared like he teleported.

 

Flying behind Lucifer, Abaddon would swing his Flail diagonally.

 

Lucifer quickly ducked under the flail, spinning around mid air before he kicked Abaddon in his side.

 

*CLANG!*

 

Abaddon was knocked back a bit, although it didn't seem he received any injuries from that kick.

 

Lucifer's smile would quickly wear off, as the pain from kicking Abaddon's armour began to settle in.

 

“Ow! Fuck!”

 

Clutching his foot, Lucifer didn't realise Abaddon made his move until it's too late. He felt the flail connect to the side of his skull, sending an excruciating pain through his body as he's sent flying across the sky.

 

Crashing into a building, he was able to regain his balance mid air somehow, as he spotted Abaddon heading straight for him.

 

Narrowing his eyes, Lucifer quickly weaved out of the way, letting Abaddon soar by. He contemplated simply bolting it once more just to get away from this menace.

 

But once again, he felt a dark presence behind him, as Abaddon, who somehow got behind him, swung his flail once more.

 

Leaving him now other choice, Lucifer engulfed his fist in flames, before throwing it straight at the Flail.

 

The two collide, creating a massive shockwave which shakes all of Pride.

 

Abaddon felt himself getting sent back, he almost felt his Flail nearly fly out of his hands from the impact as he shook his head to ease the slight headache.

 

Lucifer however, found his entire hand broken beyond repair, the fingers were in odd spots, flesh and blood were pouring and exposed bones were protruding.

 

“GYAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

 

Lucifer lets out a loud scream, clutching his hand tightly in hopes of somehow easing the pain.

 

But alas, he was still in a fight.

 

Lucifer looked up, before Abaddon would punch Lucifer square in the face, sending him out of the sky.

 

He was on the verge of blacking out, and he saw the ground getting closer and closer as he did, he awaited for impact once more.

 

But then, something grabbed onto his ankle.

 

It was Abaddon!

 

But why?...Why would he save him?...unless….

 

 

 

Oh no…..

 

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

 

Lucifer could barely tell where they were going, as of course, he just got socked in the face by Abaddon himself.

 

Looking around, he saw what seemed to be giant locusts flying around and causing havoc to the city.

 

….

 

 

That was pretty weird if he's being honest.

 

 

But up ahead, he saw what seemed to be a giant hole from where the Heaven Embassy once stood, what the hell happened?

 

 

Next thing he knew, he was perched above the hole, with Abaddon holding him not by the ankle this time, but by his wings.

 

Feeling dread once more, Lucifer looked up at Abaddon in an attempt to plead.

 

 

….

 

 

But then he pulled.

 

 

Lucifer lets out a loud scream, louder than any scream he had ever done. One wing was torn off, then another, until he was on the 3rd to last wing.

 

He knew that he would inevitably fall into this pit, where he would die….

 

 

 

….

 

 

 

Hell no! He's not gonna give Abaddon the satisfaction he gets!

 

Reaching his hand up and sharpening it, Lucifer would do something nobody would expect him to do.

 

 

…..

 

 

He would plunge it into his own heart.

 

Abaddon would stop pulling as he watched in stunned silence (despite never speaking once) as Lucifer plunged his hand deep into his own chest.

 

Feeling around, Lucifer would eventually locate his crystal heart, the one thing that keeps him alive.

 

And began to squeeze.

 

 

And squeeze.

 

 

And squeeze.

 

 

….

 

 

 

Until …..

 

 

 

 

*SHATTER!*

 

 

 

---

 

 

Lucifer would find himself back at his workshop once more, although he would clutch his chest a bit from the pain.

 

 

….

 

 

“Hah! Take that Time loop! I outsmarted your outsmarting!” Lucifer said, no, YELLED to himself.

 

 

He chuckled to himself as he regained his senses, looking around his duck filled room once more.

 

Before then, he would turn to look at his stack of Goetia books once more.

 

Now that he has more time on his hands, it's time to put this ability to use!

 

 

…..

 

 

It admittedly took him a bit before he was able to locate the same book he read before Abaddon broke into his palace, but he was able to find the exact same page.

 

Alright, first step, focused my very soul onto the fabric of reality itself.

 

And so, he began to focus, focusing all of his soul energy into one spot in front of him, although from outsiders, it looked like he was holding in a shit.

 

Eventually tho, he saw the “pocket” beginning to form in front of him, his smile widened with glee.

 

Now onto the next step, find an Asmodean Crystal.

 

Using his wings to give him extra mobility, he began to search around his entire palace to find a single Crystal

 

 

Sweating began to form on his head, he didn't know how much time was left before the Pocket would evaporate, and he would have to wait to try again.

 

It's starting to look bleak for- OH SHOOT THERE'S ONE.

 

Grabbing it immediately, he began to fly all the way back to the Pocket he created, although it looked like it was already evaporating.

 

 

Shit!

 

 

He began to accelerate, and accelerate, and accelerate….

 

 

 

And with mere seconds to spare….

 

 

 

 

….

 

 

 

 

He was able to get the Asmodean Crystal into the pocket, activating the spell at long last.

 

 

Although he has to pay the price by accidentally crashing into a wall due to his speed.

 

 

“

Ugh….fuck my head….”

 

Lucifer stood up from the ground, clutching the side of his head.

 

“Wait….did I?...”

 

Reaching his hand out, he thought to summon the Pocket.

 

 

 

….

 

 

 

It was summoned.

 

 

“Oh thank god it worked! I would've been so pissed.” Lucifer said to himself as he raised his arms in the air.

 

Now the only thing left to do….

 

 

Is to test it out.

Chapter 5: New Ground

Notes:

Sorry for not updating yesterday, was a bit busy but uh here's the next chapter for y'all!

 

Enjoy!

Lucifer picked up an old looking book, despite that, all of its pages were entirely blank, which would give him an enormous amount of info to write.

He then picked up a pen (BROUGHT TO YOU BY VOX TECH), peaking around from left to right, before placing the pen onto the page and began writing.

….Well not really writing, but more so drawing.

And that said drawing is….

 

….

 

A picture of a poorly drawn Adam with a good face, with the written words “The Bitch” right next to him.

Giggling to himself, Lucifer would quickly tuck away the book into his Pocket Dimension, now it's about time to test this out.

Unveiling his wings once more, he…. actually doesn't burst through his wall this time, and instead opted to use the doors to go outside.

 

….

 

Before he would inevitably shatter the floor underneath him as he took flight.

 

He flew not with the face of desperation, anger, hatred or whatever a reasonable person should be feeling, but rather with the face of curiosity.

He arrived at the hotel not too long after, afterwards he would proceed to kick Adam straight into the balls, sending him off the roof and onto the ground below.

“Dad! You arrived!” Charlie said with glee and relief.

“I sure did, but keep your eyes peeled honey, this ain't over yet.”

 

And it's not even close to being over either.

 

“Want me to make some pancakes after all this is over?” Lucifer asked his daughter.

“Oh, I would love some pancakes, can you make some for the others too?” Charlie asked with glee.

“Of course, anything for my Charchar.”

 

Turning to look forward again, he saw Adam fly up above in the air once more, this time with a more angry face and leaning over slightly.

 

“Oh look who decided to show up!” Adam said mockingly.

“I mean….what did you expect? You attacked my daughter, it's only natural.” Lucifer said to Adam as he gave a slight smirk, keeping his calm demeanor.

 

That seemed to make Adam more mad.

 

“YOU KICKED ME IN THE DICK, ASSHOLE!”

Adam screamed, summoning his battle axe in hands.

“This time, I'll make sure I'll smear you across three fucking dimensions!”

 

Lucifer shrugged to himself.

 

“Eh, whatever, I got something else to do so….”

Igniting his fists in flame, he got into his battle stance.

“Maybe you should've brought an archangel with you, pal!” Lucifer said as his smirk grew.

 

And so, the two charge at each other once more…..

 

 

Adam swung his Battle Axe sideways, intense on cleaving Lucifer in half, although Lucifer in turn would do a 360 spin, dodging the Battle Axe before socking Adam across the face with his fiery hand, shattering some of his Face mask.

 

Adam recoiled, but then immediately charged forward and rammed himself into Lucifer, and although Lucifer was able to block the attack, he was still pushed down. Adam, wasting no time, would immediately fire his Holy laser at him, but surprisingly, Lucifer would turn himself into a bird, specifically a crow, and flapped his wings forward, dodging the laser before turning back into his original body and dropkicking Adam square in the chin.

 

“GYAH!”

 

Adam was sent crashing down onto the roof, his golden blood scraping on the floor. Charlie was smiling, they were finally winning after all.

But Lucifer knew better.

The Man Of Eden suddenly stood up, and instead of continuing to engage in Lucifer's fight, or sent out some terrible insult, he suddenly started laughing.

“Hehehehe…..Hahahahaha….HAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!” Adams laughed manically as he clutched his face, what is he, The Joker?

The First Man's laughter echoed across the battlefield, drawing looks of confusion and fear from both the Exorcists and the Sinners. Even Lute and Vaggie paused in their efforts to gut the other to turn and look in surprise at the Father of Mankind.

“....The hells up with you?” Lucifer questioned as he landed not too far away, was Adam going through his own Time Loop and he is finally losing it?

“Oh, I'm just fucking peachy Old Scratch!” Adam began to calm down, as he cleared his throat to look at Lucifer with a smug look. "So, finally remembered you have a daughter, huh? Only took you, what, a couple of decades to remember to visit her?”

Lucifer, with a raised eyebrow, turned to look at Charlie, who simply shrugged at the comment, before turning to look at Adam. “Well I mean, better late than never, am I right?”

“Oh yeah, as if that makes it any better” Adam rolled his eyes, but still with that smug ass look. “Doesn't matter now, Old Scratch, if you're expecting your shitty one-liner to get a reaction out of me, then you'll be very disappointed. Regardless, your fight isn't with me.”

“So……it took you a few punches to the face to realise that? Damn, I must be a great psychologist!” Lucifer joked with a big grin, turning to look at Charlie.

“Uh…yeah, good one dad.” Charlie said as she deadpanned, although he clearly noticed there was a slight smile for a second.

Lucifer chuckled, turning to look back at Adam. “Well, what's the hold up then? You're too much of a pussy to fight me so you hired another pussy as well?”

“Oh please, as much as I want to shove your hat up your ass, someone else called dibs on that privilege, and they'll be here anyyyyyy second now….” Adam said nonchalantly as he looked down upon his non-existent wrist watch.

“Really?....” Lucifer, still with a smile on his face, crossed his arms, he tapped his foot, awaiting for the new arrival. “Man, he sure is taking his…”

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a blinding flash of light heading towards him at breakneck speeds. He saw a fist coming straight towards his face, but with a smirk, grabbed the arm of his new combatant, before throwing him aggressively towards Adam.

 

“OH SHIT-”

 

Both Adam and the new combatant crash into each other, the weight of them breaking the roof they were all standing on. Lucifer would unveil his wings before grabbing onto Charlie and flying out.

He turned back to look as the hotel slowly but surely began to collapse, one floor at a time before all of it crashed to the ground. Charlie looked on in disbelief as she watched her hotel collapse in front of her, but Lucifer merely held onto her tightly.

 

Landing on the ground, he lets go of Charlie. “Dad, w-who was that?” Charlie hesitantly asked.

 

“I have a feeling it's gonna be him. Regardless, you and your friends gotta get out of here, things are gonna get hectic.”

“What are you talking-”

“Just go alright?! Just…please, for once.”

 

Charlie looked concerned, but…..she nodded nonetheless as she ran off to regroup with the others.

Lucifer turned to look back at the rubble and dust, as the two figures began to emerge from it.

Adam, of course, seemed even more pissed than usual, he even looked as if he was ready to fight him again.

But then a hand to his shoulder stopped him from doing so, as an even taller being arose.

 

The being was a six winged Seraphim just like Sera and himself, but evidently, he was much taller than anyone in the field right now. The figure also seemed buff compared to Sera, all of which are hidden beneath a set of shining silver armour, engraved with the image of a winged sword, worn over a blue tunic while a longsword hung in its scabbard around his waist. His head also adorned a mop of blonde curly hair that hung around his ears.

 

Narrowing his eyes, Lucifer looked up at the blue steel eyes, noticing the absolute rage and hatred shaking within, if he was pissed now, he has even more pissed after that reversal.

He looked around, noticing and feeling the fear from those on Charlie's side, while those on Adam's side were feeling anticipation.

He turned to face the figure once more, he knew all too well who this Is.

 

….

 

“Micheal.” The Sword Of God, The Taxiarch, and many others, but most importantly, the one who banished him and Lilith from heaven and into the underworld.

"Well, it was fun while it lasted..." Husk grumbled, resigned to his fate.

 

Lucifer mustered up some courage to speak to Micheal.

 

“So, you finally came out of your Crawlspace just to come all the way over here to kill me, huh?” Lucifer mockingly asked as he placed his hand on his hip.

Some of the sinners and even some of the Exorcists gasped in shock, that even though Micheal himself was standing in front of him, he still had the balls to say such words to him. Adam was surprised nonetheless, but Micheal remained unfazed.

“You have not changed one bit, Lucifer. But now, you shan't hide behind Seras Skirts now.” Micheal slowly unsheathed his sword, its sparks emanating from it shaking the area.

“Ey, at least we both can agree that Sera has the patience of a sack of potatoes eh?” Lucifer said, expecting a response from Micheal.

 

….

 

No response, although he did have a feeling Micheal silently agreed.

 

“Ah well, if you're gonna strike me down, then so be it” Lucifer said nonchalantly, as he reignited his fists once more.

“Bring it on brother.”

 

…..

 

 

“Will do.” Micheal responded.

 

The two charge at each other once more, for this will be their most legendary battle in the universe.

Michel engulfed his sword in holy fire, before bringing it down upon him, Lucifer however, returned to favour by bringing up his arm and blocking the sword mid attack, creating a shockwave that knocked sinners to the ground and knocked Exorcists out of the air.

Michel would then knock Lucifer's arm away, hitting his head with the hilt of his sword before performing a 360 slash on him.

Lucifer would turn himself into a rabbit, narrowly dodging the sword before transforming back into his original form, attempting to kick Micheal in the face.

Micheal however, would quickly grab Lucifer's leg, twisting it before spinning around and throwing him violently onto the ground.

Lucifer would crash onto the ground, sliding before he would do a backflip onto his legs, although he clutched his left leg in pain.

He didn't have time to recover however, as he noticed a giant holy laser beam descending upon him. He quickly summoned his holographic shield and blocked it.

He didn't account however, for Micheal to appear right behind and slashing his backside, sending him forward.

 

“AGH!”

 

Manifesting a ball of energy flames in his hand, Lucifer would turn around and throw it at Michael, who brought up his hand to block the exploding ball, sending him back slightly.

When the smoke settles, Micheal is suddenly hit in the face by Lucifer's ignited leg, sending him flying into the air as Lucifer follows.

 

“C’mon Micheal, I thought you were better than that! Are you playing with me or sum?” Lucifer sarcastically said, laying on his back with his arms behind his head as he flew not too far from Micheal.

 

“You don't get to talk.” Micheal responded coldly, before charging forward and punching Lucifer across the left cheek, and of course, Lucifer responds in kind with his punch to Michael's cheek.

The two were sent flying in opposite directions, both crashing into buildings.

Lucifer got up from his crater, spitting out some blood as well as pulling a tooth out of his mouth. “That's some tough shit.” He said to himself in particular.

 

Looking up, he already saw Micheal in the air, staring at him with more hatred than one should even have in their body, his cheek bruising and bleeding from his punch.

 

“You are infuriating.”

 

 

 

….

 

 

 

“I know.” Lucifer grinned, charging up more fireballs before tossing tons of them at Micheal.

Micheal soared through the skies, dodging most fireballs while using his sword to cleave others. Spotting an opportunity, he would use his sword to parry a fireball back at the Break of Eden.

Lucifer instinctively raised his shield, blocking the attack, before dissipating it.

But he noticed that Micheal wasn't in front of him anymore, but instead behind him…..with his back turned as well?

 

Turning to raise his fist for another punch, he found himself unable to raise his left arm.

“What the….?” Lucifer goes to touch it.

 

 

….

 

 

Suddenly.

 

 

*SPLECH*

 

 

A burst of blood emerged from his arm, as the bone snapped, letting his arm fall to the ground as blood splattered all over.

Lucifer just stared at his severed arm in stunned silence, before looking back at Micheal.

 

….

 

“Damn, that hurt.”

 

Micheal bursts forward at a blinding speed, his sword raised high as he brings it down upon his brother for one final time.

 

 

 

*SLCHING!*

 

 

---

 

Lucifer awoke with a gasp, feeling his arm and head for a couple of seconds, before realising he's back at his workshop once more.

“Ya know, I think I did pretty well beforehand.” Lucifer boasted to himself as he flexed his muscles on his skinny arms.

“First Sera, then Abaddon, and now Micheal, is everyone from the family tree taking turns killing me now?” He wondered to himself.

Speaking of trees, he has a feeling that he forgot something….

 

 

….

 

 

Oh wait.

 

He raised his arm forward, summoned his pocket dimension, before reaching inside and pulling out a book.

His spell and this boom remained. And so he took a deep breath.

 

 

 

And opened it.

 

 

 

…..

 

 

 

Inside, he found his low quality drawing of Adam, with the words “The Bitch” right next to it.

 

 

Bingo.

 

 

“YESSSS!! OH GOD YESSS!!!”

Lucifer genuinely cheered for the first time in this loop, he's finally has an edge!

He dropped the book to the ground, laughing and cheering as a result of this revelation. He thinks he even feels tears coming down his face as well just because of how relieved he was.

He continued to cheer, running around his workshop as he tripped over various things, throwing his beloved rubber ducks in the air all the while sipping a cup of Joe.

Eventually, he began to calm down, breathing heavily as he wiped his tears.

 

“I don't know how this worked,

but I'm fucking glad it does.” He clutched the book in his hands tightly, he'll make sure he'll never lose this.

Well, he suppose that's enough messing around now, it's time he writes his findings.

Sitting down on his small table, he pulled out his pen before beginning his writing.

 

 

…..

 

 

Charlie…..

Chapter 6: Documentation

Summary:

Lucifer writes something in his journal for what felt like a millennium

In turn, he decides to run a little experiment to confirm his theory....

Journal Entry #1

 

Yes, I'm calling this a journal, fuck off whoever else but me is reading this.

Anyways, ever since I was killed by a certain Seraphim who was supposed to have the patience of a snail, wouldn't you know it? I'm back at my workshop the exact moment when that fuck ass Adam attacks the hotel.

And every single time I try to fight that asshole, something ALWAYS happens that ends up getting me killed, whether from another dude or from Adam himself.

Even staying out of that shit kills me! It's as if the very universe itself is bending its rules to have me killed!

Well, anyways, even through all of this shit, I have been able to scrap up some notable stuff during these loops.

While it seems like these loops are happening at random, perhaps there is a pattern to know what loop is coming up, maybe even a specific way to activate one since if I remember, Micheal showed up when I said “archangel”. I'll still have to test that out though.

The weirdest thing so far is that one moment where my dear Charlie stopped responding as if she was in a trance, before suddenly reciting knowledge she previously stated she didn't know about.

It's all very exhausting, but with my “Pocket of Gold” spell, perhaps things could change.

 

---

 

Lucifer sighed as he concluded his first journal Entry, closing the book before tossing it into his pocket dimension.

Despite all of how much his hands went through, with how many punches were thrown, how many ducks he manufactured from scrap, and many others, he found his hand hurting from writing his journal.

“Damn, I'm really that illiterate huh?....Wait, is that the right word for it?.....,Bah! who cares. You would care about such things, right my little duckling?” Lucifer picked up a nearby rubber duck with a white hat , squeezing it a few times as if it were responding before tossing it away.

Pulling out his phone, he checked the time once more, exactly 3 minutes before something tried to kill him in his own home. He considered staying here just to see if he could do anything about it, but it was either trying to kill a hardcore sniper, or fighting Abaddon himself, with possibly an even worse contender coming.

 

…..

 

He'll just go to the hotel.

He grabbed one of his nearby ducks for good luck, before going up to one of his windows

 He would open it as gently as possible, unveiling his wings before taking his flight once more. The shockwave from such wings shattering his window.

As he flew towards the hotel, he began to formulate a script in his head on what experiment he should carry out.

“Alright….first, punch Adam off the roof as usual, then say some stupid quip that pisses him off…next…..uh…improvise I guess.” Lucifer shrugged to himself.

Seeing the hotel in view, he ignited his fist in flames once more, as he reels it back for one powerful punch, he'll make sure Adam feels this one.

 

 

---

 

 

“Let….me…GO!” Charlie croaked out as she desperately tried to get herself free from Adam's grasp on her throat, how was he this powerful? She just stabbed him in the shoulder!

“Heheheh….this fight was cute and all, but it's time to die, with the rest of them!” Adam said, gripping her throat tighter as his smile grew.

Charlie began to imagine the countless bad scenarios in her mind, her friends being slaughtered at the hands of the Exorcists, her hotel crumbling to dust, and so many more.

“Charlie!” Vaggie screamed as she tried to make her way to Adam, but was subsequently caught by Lute, pinning her down to the ground to insure she didn't interfere.

Charlie closed her eyes, as she awaited the inevitable.

 

 

…..

 

 

Until…..

 

 

*SMASH!*

 

“GRAAAAHHHHH!” Adam screamed out, as he was suddenly punched in the face by someone, sending him flying into the Signboard, before crashing through the rooftop windows and falling inside.

Falling onto the ground, Charlie looked up in surprise at her saviour, who was it?....

 

….

 

Wait…

 

 

“Dad?” Charlie whispered.

 

“Hey Charchar.” Lucifer said in a slight somber tone as he offered his hand to her.

Grabbing his hand, Charlie pulled herself up. “I…. thought you weren't gonna show up for a second…” Charlie awkwardly admitted as she rubbed her hands, although she was grateful for him showing up in time.

Lucifer chuckled slightly. “Yeah sorry about that, was running some uh….errands this time.”

 

“Errands?” Charlie questioned

 

“Eh, enough about that, go help your girl over there, Papa's got some work to do.” Lucifer smirked as he rolled up his sleeves. Charlie immediately nodded, running over to where Vaggie was to get Lute off of her.

Meanwhile, a hand rose from the broken glass, as Adam pulled himself up. “Okay seriously, how many freaks do I have to fight?!” Adam said to himself as he pulled himself to his feet.

“Say what you will, but coming to this hotel was a big mistake, Fraudam.” Lucifer said as he checked his nails, whether it was really out of fashion or just to make him look sassy was anyone's guess.

“F-Fraudam?! Oh, you don't get to throw that name around, Lucifraud!” Adam quickly retorted back.

“Oh boohoo, the precious man got his feelings hurt, oh no!” Lucifer mocked in a baby tone. “Let's be honest, everyone and their grandma knows how this is gonna go down.” Lucifer shrugged, igniting his fists once more.

“And to be honest.” He got into his stance.

 

…..

 

“Sera should've continued to babysat you.”

 

….

 

“Y-you….YOU BIT-”

 

*PUNCH!*

 

Adam couldn't even react as Lucifer charged at him at speed even he couldn't see, punching him square in the face as the flames burned his cheeks.

Regaining his balance in the air, he fired a blast from his hand in hopes of hitting Lucifer, but unfortunately it was met with a holographic shield to his body, knocking him out of the air.

Grabbing his legs, Lucifer would spin his body around like he was Bowser, before letting go and letting Adam crash into the hotel, breaking some rooms before he emerged from the other side.

Adam was bewildered, barely able to think of what the hell just happened. But before he could think further, Lucifer shows up.

“Aaaannnd something should be happening in 3….2- AGH!” Lucifer said before something did indeed happen.

A blinding flash of white light was seen from the portal to Heaven, and every sinner and demon in Hell was forced to look away from the overwhelming light, including Lucifer, Charlie, and Vaggie. And then, a voice came out, a voice that felt ancient and powerful.

 

“LUCIFER!!!!!”

 

Lucifer shook his head, as he stared upon the blinding light, noticing something coming straight for him at top speeds. A figure with six wings.

 

….

 

“(LOCK IN!”)

 

Clenching his fist, Lucifer got into his stance once more.

As Sera got close, she immediately jab her spear at Lucifer, expecting him to get impaled.

But the thing is, that didn't happen.

Lucifer, anticipating this, would immediately move to the side, before turning his tail into that of a T-rex, and smacking Sera across the face, sending her crashing through the ground and creating a small shockwave.

 

Standing up, Sera was about to throw her Spear at Lucifer, before a fireball to her face distracted her for a moment, in which Lucifer would engulf his entire leg in flames, before kicking Sera in the side of the head, making a loud dent that could be heard from the top of the hotel.

This would send Sera into a nearby Exorcist, splattering them into pieces before crashing into a building.

“Gotta say, you almost got me there for a sec! Who knew you would actually come here, eh?” Lucifer said as he shrugged to empathize with his point.

Sera wasted no time standing up, before flying towards Lucifer once more.

 

“SILENCE, BETRAYER!”

 

“Oh Shit-” Lucifer immediately brought ups his holographic shield to block the incoming Spear, but In turn the shield cracked heavily, forcing to not use it for now.

Lucifer then retaliated with a flurry of Fireballs from his hands at a fast pace. Sera of course either blocks or endures them with ease.

She would swing her spear diagonal, as Lucifer would block, although the momentum would send him flying back.

Lucifer attempted to do a sassy move by pretending to clear dust off of his shoulder, but as he did, he was forced to dodge to the left as Seras spear would come flying. He would then touch his cheek, feeling the warm blood flowing down.

 

“Almost got it!” Lucifer said tauntingly, as he charged forward with his fist raised, and Sera responded in kind

.

Sera would throw a punch at him, but then he would transform into a cat, twisting his body around before turning back and kicking her in the face.

This however was blocked by her hand, before grabbing with her other hand in an attempt to possibly twist it. But Lucifer would retaliate by transforming his face into a miniature dragon and then spitting fire directly at Sera's eyes.

This would get Sera distracted once more, before his captured foot would break free and kick her chin, making her stumble back a bit.

Lucifer would use his wings to fly back a bit to gain some distance in case Sera tries to charge at him again. “Let me tell ya, you got REALLY close to getting me, but alas….

 

….you were too - AHHH!!!!”

 

Lucifer was suddenly impaled before he could finish his sentence, it was her spear! Of fucking course it had properties!

Lucifer would attempt to pull the spear out, before he was suddenly hit in the face by Sera's boot, sending him crashing into the edge of the hotel.

Before Lucifer could even get up, Sera would suddenly land on him, before she would bring her fist up and down onto Lucifer, before doing the same with her other fist….

 

….and again.

 

And again.

 

And again.

 

“YOUR SHEER LUCK SHALL NOT SAVE YOU THIS TIME, BREAKER OF EDEN!”

Is what Lucifer thought she said, he has no idea at this point.

 

“YOU!”

 

 

Punch.

 

 

“SHALL!”

 

 

Punch.

 

 

“PERISH!!!!!!”

 

 

Sera would bring her right fist even higher, as it began to shine brighter than the sun. She would hold on to this position for a few seconds, before….

 

She would bring it down upon Lucifer.

 

 

---

 

 

Lucifer jolted in pain, feeling exhausted as he let his head slam on the desk in front of him.

"Damn it, Sera, always gonna make things hard” He whispered to himself.

After a few minutes of his face imprinting on the desk, he would get up and stretch his arms as if he just awoke from a nap.

Besides getting his face absolutely caved in (What's up with almost all of these guys going for the face?), it seems his theory has some truth to it.

 

From what he vaguely understands, If he were to do a certain action or say a certain line, perhaps he could trigger certain loops to happen, this could be useful somehow.

 

….

 

Fuck! He should've taken something from the previous loop, something like Sera's spear.

Ah well, there's always next time.

Moving on to other matters, as much as he's feeling like to start writing another journal Entry, by this point, he's already incredibly mentally exhausted, he needs to get some sleep!

 

Turning to a stack pile of ducks, he immediately just skipped over there like he was in a fairy tail, before plopping himself onto the pile.

One wouldn't expect rubber to feel comfortable like beds or whatever, but surprisingly, this felt really good! He even felt himself falling asleep!

“Mmmmm, so comfy.” Lucifer whispered to himself, even though he really doesn't have that much time to get a consistent sleep schedule, it's always nice to finally sleep for once.

 

And so….he began to drift….

 

Let's see what happens next.

Chapter 7: A Sinking Feeling

Summary:

Lucifer experiences something while sleeps, and then finds that sniper that killed him one time.

Now, he goes to confront Adam about this matter, and meets a newcomer.

Lucifer laid on one of the many comfy couches the Hazbin Hotel had to offer, seriously, he really needs one of those back at his palace!

Wait…

Lucifer suddenly sat up from the couch, looking around with a confused look on his face. One thing he noted is that how awfully….quiet it is here, either the rest are preoccupied, or its just a slow day for the Hazbins.

He considered just laying his head back down, before he suddenly heard a door creak open.

Turning his head, he saw Vaggie step out of a door, although her stance seemed to sag? Usually whenever he sees her, she's the most focused out of anyone besides his Charlie.

“Yo Vags, What's up? You want more pancakes from dear ol' Lucy?” Lucifer said, attempting to make small talk with the fallen Exorcist.

Weirdly tho, Vaggie didnt respond immediately, instead taking half a minute to stare at him….creepy.

“I….didn't expect to see you here honestly.” Vaggie responded, although her voice made it sound like she was tired or dejected.

Lucifer raised an eyebrow, that's a weird thing to say to someone who essentially helped rebuild the hotel.

“Well, why wouldn't I? I'm a guest right? I should be allowed to be here.” Lucifer said with a shrug and a chuckle. “Speaking of which, uh….you okay Vaggie? You look like you saw death itself.” Lucifer questioned.

Vaggie took a deep breath, before answering. “I thought you would remember but….I suppose it doesn't hurt to remind you.” She would take a second to clear her throat.

“Charlie seems a bit sick and i-”

“WHAT?! MY CHARCHAR IS SICK?! NOT ON MY WATCH!” Lucifer stood up, marching towards the stairs to visit his daughter in her bedroom.

“I-its nothing serious Luce, it's just a common cold I think…..she said she could take care of it.” Vaggie quickly answered, most likely in an attempt to stop Lucifer from creating a ruckus.

Lucifer stopped in his tracks, as he suggested Vaggies words. Considering what happened back at the fight, he's understandably worried.

“Wait, how did she get a common cold? I mean, surely my genetics would prevent such things from happening eh?” He asked, that confused him the most, of course it's not uncommon for sinners and imps to receive some sort of sickness, but the princess receiving a common cold? Certainly raises an eyebrow.

“I….don't know unfortunately, she just kinda…got it, but I'm sure it'll pass in a few days.”

“You sure?....”

“Positive.”

……

“Alrighty then, but I'm still gonna check on her, fatherly instincts and all.” He made a grin after saying that.

“Of course, go ahead, I'm just gonna…take a nap for a while.” Vaggie said as she yawned, turning to walk over to one of the couches before flipping over it like a ragdoll.

Lucifer simply shrugged as he walked up the stairs, he wondered how Charlie was doing up there.

---

Lucifer awoke slowly but surely, his eyes feeling groggy as they opened. He has no idea what just went on in his mind, was that a dream or something?

Rubbing his eyes, he slowly stood up from the pile of rubber ducks, all of them squeaking in unison as he did.

“This hellhole just keeps getting weirder and weirder…” he said to himself

Speaking of weird, how much time has passed since he slept? He goes to check his time.

 

15 minutes.

 

….

 

Wait a minute, isn't that the time he would usually di-

 

*BANG!*

 

He heard his window shatter, and reacting accordingly, he was able to evade a sniper bullet, grazing his face by a millimeter as it crashed into a rubber duck, deflating it beyond belief.

His face morphed into that of anger and happiness, they thought they got the drop on him? Well now they'll have to face the consequences of fucking with him!

Unveiling his wings, he would burst through the window from where the bullet came from at a speed no mortal could comprehend, flying towards the hill top nearby his palace.

“Oh shi- AAAAHHHH-”

Lucifer crashed into the hill top as he heard what he presumed to be bones breaking upon impact. Shaking the dust off to observe what would've been his killer, it was revealed to be an imp all this time, one who was even shorter than him and wore a fancy suit, including a bow tie, he looked…. familiar.

Lucifer's anger grew, not only was he being killed by higher beings, but also an imp?!

 

….

 

This can't stand.

Forcefully grabbing the bloodied imp, he pulled him up to eye level as he looked up and down at him, he could feel the imps fear shivering through his hands.

Soon, he came to a realization.

“Wait a minute….your with IMP. Who sent you?!” Lucifer screamed at the imps face as he brought him closed, someone was really bold enough to hire IMP to kill him?

“Grkh…W-Wai- Grkh…”

As Lucifer waited for this imp to finish his sentence, he saw something out of the corner of his eye. A silhouette on another hill top, in the shape of an imp.

Immediately flying towards that location, he has come face to face with the bods of the Immediate Murder Professionals.

“Blitz.” Lucifer stated, his voice seethes with utter hatred.

The head of IMP stood still as he looked upon Lucifer like a deer in headlights. “U-uhm….h-hey the-”

Blitzo wasn't even able to finish his sentence either, as he is suddenly hit with the barely alive body of his employee Moxxie.

Lucifer placed his foot onto Moxxies back, ensuring he and Blitzo didn't try to escape. “Ya know, I'm pretty surprised that someone was stupid enough to hire YOU of all people to come and kill me.” Lucifer said as he stared at Blitzo's eyes, inducing fear into the imp.

“You can make this easier for you, your employee and whoever else works for you. All you have to do is tell me who sent you, and then we're even stevens, Hm?”

He gave the imp a few seconds to answer, he knew Blitzo was an arrogant imp who would rarely back down when he's wrong, but perhaps when his employees near death corpse is on him, and he's at the mercy of Lucifer himself, perhaps he'll consider his-

*SPIT!*

Lucifer deadpanned for a moment, reaching towards his own face to confirm that wasn't he thinks it was.

Spit.

Raw spit.

And who did it come from?

…

“F-fuck you!” Blitzo used whatever energy he had in him to shout out.

 

….

 

“Oh you've done it now.”

He brought up his fist and…

 

*SMASH!*

 

*SPLECH!*

 

…Threw the hardest punch he can right into Blitzo's face, his fist digging through as his skull shattered upon impact, spraying blood, flesh and brains all over the place.

He threw one last punch just in case, splattering even more gore of the imps head onto himself and the ground around him.

“Prick.” He said coldly, ignoring the whimpers of Blitzo's still alive employee underneath him.

Before he was about to do literally anything else, he heard a buzz, catching his attention.

Reaching into Blitzo's pocket, he pulled out what seemed to be a radio, although this is most definitely no ordinary radio. Putting it to his ear, he began to hear a familiar voice emanating from the radio.

“I'm about to end your fucking life!” Said the voice of someone he vaguely remembers, but the other….

“Nice voice, don't you know jazz is for pussies?!”

 

Adam.

 

Of course he of all people would send a hit on his ass! Although he wondered why IMP exactly and not some other heavenly assassin.

Regardless, he's a little pissed off at this fact, so he decides to confront Adam about this matter. Grabbing the still alive imp at his feet, he flew off once more.

Time to see how he'll deal with this.

---

He flew for a couple minutes now, double checking to make sure the imp in his hand hasn't died yet, which surprisingly he hasn't, he'll give credit to that.

“You know, if you get to live through all of this, why not tell me your name, hm?” Lucifer asked calmly, although anyone could tell there was a hint of malice underneath it, although to be fair this one tried to kill him earlier so he'll say it's justifiable.

The imp coughed up blood, as it struggled to come up with the answer.

 

Until…

 

“M-m-mo-moxxie….” The imp named Moxxie coughed out.

“Hm…Moxxie, that's a nice name.” Not really, but he thought it was cute.

“Ya know, even if you did just try to kill me earlier, I apologise for….uh….breaking almost every bone in your body. That's gonna be uh….pretty inconvenient.” Lucifer said awkwardly, there are early any hospitals in the Pride Ring, but he 100% knows going there would cost one an arm and a leg.

“Speaking of which, what exactly were you gonna get by taking me out?” Lucifer wondered, he wanted to know how much he was worth to kill.

Moxxie croaked out some blood once more, before answering.

“I-i do-dont know…. m-millions?...” Moxxie said, damn, even he wasn't sure how much he was gonna get when he killed him, for all he knew, Adam would've murked them all after that.

“Eh, i was expecting billions but eh, who gives a fuck anyways?” Lucifer shrugged.

He was considering continuing the conversation, but he noticed the hotel up ahead, now's his chance.

“Dont fuck this up Moxxie, or shits about to go down.”

Moxxie quickly hushed his whimpers of pain.

 

….

 

“HEY!” Lucifer called out to Adam, in which Adam turns to look at Lucifer, as Charlie got out of his grasp and crawled away to a safe distance.

Landing on the roof, he tossed the bloodied imp at Adam's direction, flipping onto the ground as he had a face of annoyance. “Mind explaining this, fucker?” Lucifer questioned Adam.

Adam, while showing a face of disgust at the bloodied imp at ground in front of him, also showed a face of confusion. “....You just brought an Imps body to me?” He asked confusingly.

“Don't try to deny it, Adam! This imp tried to kill me in my own damn palace.” Lucifer said, his aggression growing ever so slightly.

“Deny what? If I wanted to kill you, I would've just gone to your stupid palace myself! But now, it's even more hilarious that an imp of all people nearly caught you!” Adam exclaimed as he laughed at that thought.

Lucifer's eyes narrowed harder.

“Oh yeah, you wanted to kill me but you could've, so you hired a bunch of hellborns to do it for you, in fact, I got the evidence right here!” He would pull out the radio that he took from Blitzo, before pressing a button. From then on, two sentences would be spoken out from the radio.

 

…..

 

“I'm about to end your fucking life!” Said the voice of that guy Adam just fought recently , but the other….

 

“Nice voice, don't you know jazz is for pussies?!”

 

 

Everyone who was present on the roof, stood in shock, even Charlie, Adam was conspiring to kill her father?! How could he?!

Lucifer, with a huge grin on his face, puts away the radio as he rests his hand behind his back. “Give it up Adam, I've got the evidence I need, and you'll be in Big trouble when word spreads around the Seraphim.” Turning his head to his daughter, he saw that her face was of that of relief.

He awaited Adams' response, ranging from complete denial or anger.

 

…..

 

“Adam?”

 

Swiftly turning his head to face Adam, he found that he was in the same position that he was in before, but….unmoving.

This Is…. exactly what happened with Charlie as well.

“Dad?....what's going on with him?”

“Uhm….I think he's going through something, Hun.” Lucifer slowly walked up to the unmoving Adam, unsure if touching him would do any good.

Nudging Adams shoulder, he still didn't respond, in fact, his entire body fell onto his back like a statue being pushed over, and yet he still didn't respond.

(“It happened again, what do I even do in this scenario?”) Lucifer questioned himself.

 

….

 

“Alright prick you-!....what the..?” Adam exclaimed, confused on how he was suddenly on his back now.

Although, Adam simply shrugged it off, dusting himself off before resuming his sentence.

“Alright prick, you got me! Although I wasn't exactly the one who set up the contract.” Adam said as he raised his hands.

“Oh really? Then who did? Sera? Micheal?” He crossed his arms, expecting one of them to be the main culprit.

“Its Lilith, you fucking idiot.”

 

….

 

“Wait….Lilith?...”

“Yup, she's the one who sent the hit on you, I just simply jumped in to take the opportunity, Nyeh!” Adam boasted, crossing his arms like Lucifer did a few seconds ago.

“Lilith….sent the hit on me….” Lucifer exclaimed in disbelief, she of all people would do that…?”

“Wait…MY MOM DID THAT?!” Charlie also exclaimed in disbelief, why would her mom set up a contract to kill her dad?!

Lucifer felt his anger rise, she wouldn't do that!, Not after everything he gave her! Was Charlie not enough?!

But surprisingly, he found himself calming down, albeit it took a few deep breaths, but it worked.

“That's still a conspiracy to murder, Adam. You ain't off scot free.” Lucifer pointed an accusing finger to Adam.

“Oh yeah? Good luck convincing Sera about it, I'm sure she would LOVE to hear out the Breaker of Eden himself!”

“Besides, everyone and their 1000 year old grandma agrees that you are better off dead.” Adam grinned.

Lucifer gritted his teeth at that comment, and was considering attacking Adam right then and there.

 

Until….

 

“Dad, behind you!”

“Huh-?”

Suddenly, Lucifer had to pull up his holographic shield, as a ball of fire crashed against it, but then something else emerged.

Leaping from the roof was a woman in bronze armour worn over a red dress. In her hands was a glaive of angelic steel, and as she practically flew at Lucifer, she wielded it with lethal skill. Bringing down in a downward slash, Lucifer would quickly move out of the way before sweeping her legs underneath her, before delivering a mean right hook to her cheek, knocking her off the roof with Lucifer pursuing her.

He had thought that when he stopped his death back at the palace, this time loop would stop pulling it's bullshit on him, but I guess he spoke too soon, and now he has to deal with this newcomer, who suspiciously looked like Charlie at a close glance.

The woman landed on the ground, before parrying Lucifer's punch with her glaive, sending it's impact into a group of sinners before using her other hand to throw a punch into his gut, winding him for few before swinging her weapon diagonally.

Lucifer narrowly dodged this, only having his hat and shoulder cleaved as he builded up a ball of fire, before tossing it at the woman point blank, who simply blocked it with her glaive.

Lucifer charged forward and threw a punch, but she suddenly disappeared in a flash, leaving him confused before he suddenly felt a sharp pain digging into his back, she teleported behind him.

Getting his teeth to stop himself from screaming, he reached over his back, grabbing onto her before throwing her violently into the ground, creating a small crater.

He flew back Instinctively, pulling out the Glaive that was stuck in his back. He considered using it against whoever this was, but he can't let this go to waste, and so, into the pocket dimension it goes!

This, of course, pisses off the woman even harder as she leaped towards Lucifer before delivering a knee to his chin, causing him to stumble back a bit. She went in for another jab, but Lucifer was able to dodge once more, grabbing onto her shoulders and performing a 360 spin before bringing her head onto his knee, sending her to the ground once more. This time, he doesn't relent as he threw punch after punch onto her head, continuously damaging her helmet.

“How about we even the playing field, eh?” Adam dropped not too far away from them, before firing his holy laser towards Lucifer in an angle where it wouldn't hit the woman.

Lucifer however, quickly activates his Holographic shield, in which it deflects the laser back at Adam, creating an explosion which knocks Adam away and leaves him having to deal with the others.

The woman took her chance, and kicked Lucifer off of her, before teleporting to his side and dropkicking him in the head. Before he could get up, he felt one of his wings being ripped out.

“Ngh!”

Using his feet to knock her back, he would get up and punch her gut, sending her into the sky as he followed.

The two would exchange punch after punch in the air, creating shockwave after shockwave which rattled the entire area. Lucifer would throw a fist at her, in which she would return with her own, the two constantly hitting each other's fist hoping one would give out.

Eventually, Lucifer was sent to the ground at full force, creating an even bigger crater than the previous one. As he got up, he felt the presence behind him, figuring she teleported.

He would quickly duck under a right hook, igniting his flames onto his fist once more, before delivering a MEAN punch to her chin, finally breaking that stupid helmet of hers and even drawing blood.

After the shock, he would take a closer look at who was attacking him.

….

Wait….

 

“Charlie?”

 

The figure who resembled his daughter way too closely stood up, her eyes filled with vengeance and rage. Two notable things were her clown spots which were absent, and her horns which were seemingly filled down.

Lucifer slowly approaches the woman in disbelief, this isn't his daughter, but he can't deny that she looks way too similar to his.

Unfortunately, he didn't account for the woman reaching to an angelic spear nearby, before….

 

*SCHLING!*

Chapter 8: Allies (Part 1)

Summary:

Lucifer expands upon his journal and gives a call to some of his known allies.

Little does he know, things would take a drastic turn.

Lucifer jolted in his own body, finding himself falling on to his back as he clutched his head in pain.

He audibly groaned, taking a few seconds of his time to get up while digesting what on earth just previously happened. Opening his eyes, he looked around his room, silently admiring his collection of rubber ducks once again.

“....that….was really weird.” He said to himself, and it'll probably only get even weirder from here too, oh and that combined with the deaths getting even more brutal than the last.

That woman, he wasn't hallucinating right? That really was Charlie, but…she was different, and why was she attacking him?

Not only that, but apparently Lilith is also the one who sent that hit on him, he knew that he and Lilith had a falling out not too long ago, but…now he's just even more lost.

 

“....Why?...”

 

More questions and questions just keep piling onto each other, and he's nowhere even close answering even one of them.

He lets out an audible sign. “Well, I suppose I can't stop now.” Reaching into his pocket dimension once more, he pulled out his journal and his recently new item, The Glaive. It had an interesting design definitely of Angelic origin, he can just feel the angelic aura radiating off of it just by holding it alone.

Placing both his journal and Glaive onto the table, he pulled out his VoxTech pen once more before beginning his writing.

---

Journal Entry #2

Well, things have certainly taken an…. interesting development thus far. I don't even know where to start.

So like, I was able to stop one of my deaths from happening within my palace, it was that IMP company people and apparently Lilith was the one who wanted me dead, which….kinda hurts to think about.

Regardless, since this is, ya know, an attack in my own quarters, I confronted Adam about it and wouldn't you know it? He had a hand in organising it as well! What a fucking asshole….

Oh yeah, I nearly forgot to mention that phenomena….which I'll just call “Dead Stare” for now. Yeah it happened again, this time with Adam, which I thought was weird since I would think he would be immune to this stuff given how much I've died to anything related to him.

Speaking of anything related to him, guess what? Turns out sending IMP wasn't enough! Because apparently the universe decided that I really needed to die and sent out…Charlie…

But clearly this Charlie wasn't the same Charlie I knew, she looked more….battle hardy, clearly having a lot of experience fighting just by her stance alone, although I'd say I did a pretty good job fighting her.

It sucked dying again, but one great thing came out of it! I was able to grab hold of her weapon that she used, some kind of Glaive thing, clearly of angelic origin. Was this version of Charlie a part of the Exorcists or something?

Whatever, I still have a lot of experimentation to conduct on these loops, there's possibly countless loops out there for me to discover, but for the sake of my mind and research, I'm putting any notable ones here.

 

“LOOP-052 (SERA.)

Location: Hazbin Hotel

Divergence: At the start or middle of the battle, bringing up Sera or any motherly figure would summon her to the battlefield.”

–

“LOOP-666 (THE SLAYER)

INFORMATION PENDING.”

–

“LOOP-209 (MICHEAL)

Location: Hazbin Hotel

Divergence: At the start of the battle, most likely activated by taunting Adam or mentioning an Archangel.”

–

“LOOP-001 (URIEL?)

Location: Anywhere in the city.

Divergence: Details are incredibly vague, best one could do is attempting to kill Adam early.”

–

“LOOP-910 (EXORCIST DAUGHTER)

Location: Hazbin Hotel, although possibly anywhere else

Divergence: Honestly I have no fucking clue.

–

Lucifer closed his journal with a huff, his hand is getting used to writing longer sentences, although it still aches even writing some.

“Fuck, who knew documenting shit is so hard? How does Edgar Allen Po do it?...” Lucifer wondered how the literature man documented his findings….

Regardless, now that he's got the journal out of the way, the only thing left to do is figure out what to do with the Glaive.

Picking it up once more, he inspected its frame closely. As far as he knows, this isn't really a standard issued weapon amongst the Exorcist, but then again his daughter could just be THAT girl.

Well, having a weapon is one thing, but learning how to use it is completely different, he's almost never used any weapons since the War, and the Glaive is certainly not a familiar choice of weapon to him, but I guess you'll have to make what you have.

He swung the Glaive around for a few minutes, getting used to the basics of holding it in the most favourable position all the while coming up with whatever tactics would be useful with this.

 

As he swung the glaive around, he began to think to himself.

 

“I wonder how the other sins are doing, it'll be really funny if they're also having their own time loop, heh…..wait….That's it!” Lucifer came to a realization, perhaps he could get the sins to help out!

Although, there's a good chance that this could blow up in his face entirely, but then again, I guess that's what experiments are for.

Whipping it out his phone, he began to dial the most notable number he could think of relating to one of the sins.

 

…

 

*Ring*

 

*Ring*

 

*Ring*

 

“What do you want, Luce?” Beelzebub's voice echoed through his phone, clearly annoyed as he probably interrupted something.

“Heeeyyyy Beelz, how's it going?” Lucifer said as he rested his elbow on the table. “Been a long time eh? How's that boyfriend of yours doing?”

“Oh, i….didn't think you'd care for that but uh, he's doing pretty great actually! In fact, I'm getting ready for another one of our dates right now.” Beelz exclaimed, there was still a hint of annoyance but her tone expressed joy.

“Right right cool, anyways do you perhaps have any spare time? It's kinda important.” He stretched his arms, taking another good look around the room.

“I….just told you I was preparing to go on a date.” Beelz’s tone immediately reverted back to that of annoyance.

“Yeah I know, but I promise it, it won't take as long as you think, meet me at my daughter's hotel!” And without giving her a second to answer, he would hang up on the phone, staring at the screen for a few seconds.

“Heh, surely that'll get em.” He chuckled to himself, before he began to dial the other sins phone numbers.

First was Satan (The Sin Of Wrath) who clearly showed his annoyance towards Lucifer, the second was Belphegor (The Sin Of Sloth) who showed little to no interest in whatever Lucifer was doing, the third was Mammon (The Sin of Greed) who showed anger towards Lucifer due to interruption, the fourth is Leviathan (The Sin Of Envy) whose two heads argued about Lucifer's proposal, and the last is Asmodeus (The Sin Of Lust) who is the only one who expressed curiosity towards Lucifer's proposal.

Drinking a cup of coffee to ease the pain of his throat as a result of talking to these knuckleheads, he gave a big sigh.

“Alright universe, what kind of bullshit will you pull this time.” Lucifer smirked at his words, the sins were clearly on his side, he at least must have an edge against whoever will pull up.

 

Welp, no time to waste I suppose.

 

Unveiling his wings, he leapt off the balcony of his palace before flapping them, creating a shockwave that shattered the palace's windows as he took off at high speeds.

Damn, he really needs to stop destroying his palace.

---

It didn't take long for Lucifer to arrive at the battlefield once more, smacking Adam across the face as usual, it was getting kinda tiring at this point, kicking him in the balls once as fun, he should do that more.

Rising from the broken roof, is Adam. “Okay seriously, how many freaks do I have to-” Adam could barely finish his sentence, before a fist engulfed in flames connected to his face once more, spilling blood from his nose and mouth as it did.

Lucifer didn't relent either, with a blank yet focused look on his face, he continued to engage. As Adam aimed his arm to fire his laser, Lucifer would charge forward, grabbing and pushing his arm up at the sky to make him miss as he then headbutted Adam, drawing more blood from The First Man.

“Stay still you-!” Adam choked out before receiving a kick to his neck, sending him crashing into the ground.

Adam raised his head for a second before Lucifer's shoe would connect to his chin once more, sending him even deeper.

He then finished off his combo by charging up a large ball of fire and bringing it down upon Adam, creating a mini explosion.

As the smoke cleared, he observed Adams' status from above. Adam was covered in god knows how many burns, plus a concerning amount of blood pouring out from both his mouth and nose holes.

“Hm, well that was a bit too easy, C'mon Adam get up!”

Adam didn't respond to Lucifer's demand, only with a groan.

“Not so tough now are ya? Well, at least before shit hits the fan….” Lucifer said, although he muttered the last few words to himself. “Speaking of shit hitting fans, where the hell are those Sin bastards?”

Double checking to make sure Adam was still in his crater, he looked around to see any signs of the Sins, surely it can't take them that long right?

As soon as he thought of that, he suddenly felt his instincts kicked in, alongside the feeling of heat coming closer behind him.

 

(“You have to move now Lucifer, MOVE MOVE MOVE!”)

 

Lucifer was barely able to summon a holographic shield behind him as he felt a flaming punch connect, although since the shield was summoned hastily, it shattered upon impact and the force sent him flying onto the ground.

“Fucking Fuck Shit!” Lucifer shouted to himself and whoever just threw that punch. Immediately getting up on his legs, he took one good look as to who just did that.

His eyes widened ever so slightly, it was Satan.

 

And he's not alone either, all of the Sins have shown up and….they're tending to Adam? What?

 

“Are you Ok Dad?” Charlie rushed over to his side, showing concern.

“I'm alright I'm alright…” he continued to stare ahead at the bizarre scene, the Sins of each layer, tending to the First Man.

What's next, some flesh god is gonna descend upon him after this as well?

Are you alright?" She fretted over him as she checked for injuries.

"I'm alright, sweetie. Wish the circumstances were better, but I'm glad to see you all."

"Don't scare us like that!" Beelzebub, her eyes glistening with tears, hugged the First Man, wrapping her arms around him tightly, drawing chuckles from the man.

Everyone around him stood in shock, you don't see a sin tending to an angel every once in a while after all.

Crossing his arms, he got the courage to speak up on this seemingly family reunion. “Alright, what the hell's going on? What kind of anime plot twist is this?”

“Damn, he knows what anime is?” Bee seemingly asked to mock Lucifer. “I bet he's a Solo Leveling fan.” Mammon responded in kind.

He doesn't know what the hell Solo Leveling is, but it sounds like absolute doodoo.

“Also, Clearly I must've hit you so hard that you forgot what the hell we are.” Satan noted the Devil's seemingly high ignorance.

“Oh please do enlighten me Wrath Man, what is this all about him?” Lucifer asked sarcastically, but he did genuinely wonder what's going on.

“No need to waste your words on this sack of shit Satan, I'll remind him myself.” Adam exclaimed as he stood up, although it took some help from Belphegor to do so.

"Less than a month after Abel's death, the home Eve and I had built on Earth was shattered by a Primordial Beast, the monstrous remnant of Creation left on Earth when your father ended up making the gaping wound in Creation we call Hell. My Greek children would refer to them as the Titans. Together Eve and I-”

“Oh my god I don't CARE about your story that you made up on the spot, JUST TELL ME WHATS YOU AND ALL OF THE OTHERS DEAL!” Lucifer shouted, interrupting the First Man's dialogue drop.

Adam stood in shock for a few seconds, before his face reverted to annoyance. “They’re….my children Lucy, The Shedim to be exact, the seven of em” Adam said with pride and joy.

Lucifer simply stood there dumbfounded, the Sins were Adams children here? That's…certainly new.

 

So new in fact, he found himself holding back his laughter, before just letting go and laughing out loud.

 

“WOW! Now that must be the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while!” Lucifer choked out after his laughter died down.

The Sins and Adam just looked confused, even more so then when he saw them tending to him.

“....Yeah I definitely hit him too hard.” Satan muttered.

“WAIT, Y-your…all of you are my….my half-siblings?!” Charlie blurted out in shock.

“Yup” Belphegor bluntly stated, emphasizing the P. Charlie was in shock at this revelation, why didn't anyone bother telling her?!

Adam cleared his throat. “Regardless, after the Sixth War between Heaven and Hell, clearly dear ol' Lucy wasn't cut out for ruling this forsakened realm, and so we signed a deal where my Shedim would come down and keep the hellborns in check, while also making sure that bitch ass Lucifer doesn't step out of line either, which seems to have been broken beyond belief by now….” Adam deadpanned towards the Breaker of Eden.

(“.....Sixth war?”) Lucifer wondered internally.

“Wait a minute….if there's six Shedims in hell right now, then who's the seventh?”

Lucifer was also about to question alongside her, before he once again felt a disturbing presence behind him. Seriously, they always go for the back!

 

“Right here.”

 

Gritting his teeth, Lucifer would quickly weave out of an angelic swords way, reaching into his pocket dimension and retrieving the Glaive before swinging it diagonally at whoever tried to sneak up on him.

“AGH!” The familiar voice screamed out, before it vanished, reappearing nearby the Shedim.

The seventh Shedim…it was Paimon of all people.

“PAIMON!” Bee screamed out in shock, rushing out to inspect Paimon's wound as Belphegor would also use her powers to slowly heal them. “I'm fine…I'm fine…I guess trying to sneak upon the Devil wasn't the greatest idea.”

“You know, I always had a feeling you'd be an annoying backstabbing prick, but I certainly didn't think you were Adam's child.” Lucifer said with a slight chuckle.

“Oh we'll see how that mouth will be talking after you face us all, it's 8 against you!” Adam proudly declared, summoning his battle axe as he did.

 

Lucifer simply smirked.

 

“Very well then.” Lucifer said, tucking away his Glaive as he engulfed his hands and feet in flames once more, even his eyes were radiating the flames.

“BRING IT ON!”

Notes:

Gonna be Honest I don't really like this chapter as much as the others, but I'm really looking forward to writing part 2 so....I hope you enjoy nonetheless!

Chapter 9: Allies (Part 2)

Summary:

Lucifer dukes it out with Adam and the so called "Shedim"

He's not gonna lie, fighting multiple people at once is incredibly difficult compared to how they portrayed it in the movies, especially against people like Adam and the rest of the Deadly Sins, who have been renamed "Shedim" in this case.

Quickly blocking a punch from Asmodeus, he would take flight as he evaded another laser blast from Belphegor, before he ended up getting tackled by Adam.

Shifting into a mouse, he quickly crawled around his body and onto his back before shifting back, kicking the First Man into Leviathan who was in the middle of leaping up towards him.

“Eat this, Fucker!” Mammon, who had shifted into his true form, brought his spider legs down upon The Devil, who easily avoided it before retaliating with a punch to the gut, sending him upwards ever so slightly. “GAH!”

Lucifer was about to throw another punch again, but had to quickly raise up his holographic shield to block an incoming slash from Paimon who materialised in front of him. “Cmon, you can do better than that!” Lucifer reached into his dimension once more before bringing his Glaive down upon Paimon, who quickly blocked it in turn.

The two would exchange slash after slash and punch after punch, before Paimon would suddenly weave to the right, letting a laser from Belphegor hit Lucifer which sends him onto the ground.

“AGH!” Lucifer exclaimed as he crashed , although he was quick to get up on his feet again as he weaved a fire attack from Asmodeus. “Not this time, chicken!” Lucifer would charge forward and slash Asmodeus across the chest with his Glaive.

“GYAH!” Asmodeus stumbled back, as Lucifer went for another strike. However, his second stripe is intercepted by Adam, who blocked with his axe before hitting Lucifer in the head with its hilt.

“OUGH!....Okay that one kinda hurt- SHIT!” Lucifer quickly blocked the axe with his Glaive, at the same time dodging Adam's beam by performing a 360 spin behind as he slashed his shoulder.

“OW!” Adam exclaimed before swiftly turning around, grabbing Lucifer by the collar and clocking him in the face.

Before Lucifer crashed into the ground, he received another punch from Satan, which resulted in him being sent across the floor as Leviathan returned the favour with a kick. Beelzebub would then end the wombo combo by tail whipping him into the hotel.

“My god! That was so fucking cool!” Adam applauded the sins, as they regrouped once more. 

“It would've been cool if I was included in that, but I digress.” Paimon shrugged.

“You okay, Ozzie?” Belphegor gently asked as she attempted to heal Asmodeus wounds, although it doesn't seem like it's doing much. “I'm alright, but damn he got me good….” Asmodeus exclaimed.

Rising from the small rubble of debris, was Lucifer, who held his head in pain. “Heh…we all know that was just a lucky shot.” Lucifer boasted, grabbing the attention of the Shedim family once more.

“Of course someone like you couldn't accept that you were absolutely crushed on.” Beelzebub annoyingly exclaimed, rolling her eyes as she did.

Adam simply smirked. “Looks like someone holding their shit In again, how many times is it gonna take for you to realise you're outmatched, huh?”

 

….. he'll admit, it may look bleak for him, but just like in the old days, he'll never back down.

 

He needs to at least get one thing before he kicks the bucket, and maybe if he's lucky, he'll be able to kill one of them, but how….

As Lucifer ignored Adam's ramblings on whatever, he began to eye the various members of the Shedim.

Satan was obviously the most strongest out of them all. Besides Adam probably, Mammon is definitely the hardest to punch through, maybe because of his fat ass, Belphegor is basically the mage in this situation, Leviathan is…. Leviathan, and Beelzebub is just a bit too fast for him.

Which leaves him with only one candidate.

 

….

 

Paimon.

Wasting no time, Lucifer would charge forward with his Glaive in hand towards Paimon, catching both him and the others off guard as he stabbed through his shoulder.

“GRAH!” Paimon lets out a scream of pain, falling onto his back as he tried to pry the Morningstar away from him.

“PAIMON NO!” Ozzie screamed as he tackled Lucifer to the ground, pinning him down as he delivered punch after punch with the other.

After the 3rd punch, Lucifer would shift into a Cockroach who leapt up underneath Asmodeus chin, before shifting back into his regular form which results in him drop kicking Ozzie in the chin, sending him into the sky.

Using his wings, he narrowly avoids a hard punch from Satan, the impact cracking the ground underneath them. Curling his fists, he delivered multiple flaming punches from a distance, forcing Satan to block with his arms and obscuring his view.

When Satan looked up, he was suddenly kicked in the eye by Lucy, forcing him to cover his face once more.

Sensing Leviathan behind him, he brought his hands up as he grabbed both of her jaws that were about to chomp on him, before he would then slide between her legs and deliver a flame fist into her back, sending her flying and into Satan, knocking them to the ground.

Although, before Lucifer could do anything else, he suddenly felt a mysterious force grip his leg. Turning around, he saw Belphegor with one of her hands extended out, with the other tending to Paimon's wound.

Belphegor would stand up, and then slam her hand onto the ground moving left to right, this in turn would do the same to Lucifer as he tasted the ground, before being brought up and slammed down once more.

Amidst having his face slammed onto the ground, he would summon a small fire ball from his hand before firing it straight to Paimon, resulting in Belphegor raising a shield in order to block it.

Being released from her psychic hold, Lucifer charged forward once more, engulfing his right leg in complete flames before he delivered a god smacking kick to her neck, sending her flying to the left with an audible crack as she crashed into a charging Beelzebub, whether that crack was from her spine or that candle stop of her head, he didn't care to see.

Turning to look at Paimon before-

 

“GAH! FUCK!”

 

Lucifer found a sword within his gut, with Paimon using all of his strength to continue pushing it deeper. With a scowl, Lucifer would smack Paimon away with a hard backhanded slap, forcing him to dissolve into Shadows once more.

He clutched his gut, wincing in pain as he looked around, wary of when the King of The Ars Goetia would appear to attack.

Well, it seems Paimon isn't resurfacing any time soon, might as well ask these fucks some questions before he does.

Turning to face the Shedim, with Adam mainly helping Belphegor get the others back into shape, he flew up not too far off the ground.

“Alright you Shut ins, it's time I ask you some questions eh?” Lucifer placed his hands on his hips as he had the biggest grin on his face.

Immediately, the Shedims behaviour shifted to that of anger. “What questions! The only question I'm wondering is when you'll finally croak!” Beelzebub shouted.

“Ah, that won't be for another few minutes, but anyways!” Lucifer cleared his throat as he adjusted his hate and bowtie. “Alright so, all of you are Adams children, right?”

….

“Uhm…Yeah?” Asmodeus confirmed, although confused.

“Mhm, right, now I just have one teeny tiny question that I hope YOU Adam, can answer…"

 

….

 

"What exactly are they're actual names?”

 

….

 

“What?” Adam said in confusion.

 

“I mean with Paimon I get it, King of the Ars Goetia and all that, plus not too different of a name.

But a name like Beelzebub? Either you named them while you were fucking high, or Lilith did....or both, who knows! Regardless, those names are clearly cover ups for their actual ones, so tell me what they're actually named, Adam." Lucifer pointed an accusing finger at the First Man, but he awaited for Adams answer nonetheless.

“Heh, well of course!”.

 

….

 

“So like….are you gonna answer or…?”

“Yeah I know! Just….give me a second.” Adam bluntly exclaimed, the Sins were growing more worried at this implication.

“Dad?...Are you okay?” Beelzebub worryingly asked.

“Ya know, speaking of which, why exactly did the deal have to involve “your children” coming into this forsakened realm when you could've used…oh I don't know, anybody else? I mean it'd be hard to find but I'm sure we can arrange that, hm?” Lucifer stated, that's like if he sent Charlie into heaven to pretend to be an archangel or something.

Regardless, it seems the “dead stare” effect is slowly settling into the group. Adam stared blankly ahead alongside Beelzebub and Asmodeus, with the others trying to shake them awake.

He chuckled at the scene, but now that they're busy, the only other person left is-

 

*SCHLING!*

 

Narrowly dodging a downward slash would've digged through his shoulder, his arm would lash out and grab Paimon's neck, his magic preventing him from dissipating.

“Ngh!” Paimon squirmed in his grip, as Lucifer eyed his sword.

Giving a wide smirk, Lucifer reached out and grabbed Paimon's sword, attempting to yank it out of his hand before eventually opting to sever his hand with his glaive, and then throwing him across the floor.

“GRAH!” Paimon exclaimed, immediately trying to dissipate into Shadows due to his injuries. But alas, Lucifer was faster.

 

*SLASH!*

 

Everyone including the Shedim stood in shock, as Lucifer with a smirk, tucked away Paimon's sword in his pocket dimension.

All the while Paimon stood there, his eyes and mouth widened in shock, as his body slowly began to convulse.

“P-Paimon…?” Belphegor uttered, attempting to reach her hand out to the bird.

Paimon's pupils sag to the side as his head does as well, before….

 

*SPLECH!*

 

Paimon's head suddenly bursts off of his neck, falling onto the ground as copious amounts of blood sprayed everywhere. It didn't take long for the body to fall down either.

“Eugh. What a mess.” Lucifer said, attempting to clean off Paimon's blood from his clothes.

The First Man watched in horror, after all, he just saw one of his “sons” get brutally decapitated.

But soon, that horror shifted to anger, and that anger shifted into rage, and that rage shifted Into vengeance.

 

“You….YOU….YOU!!!!! ILL KILL YOU!”

 

Adam, without hesitation, charged forward at a speed even he didn't expect to achieve, delivering a punch to Lucifer's jaw as it knocked many of his teeth out.

Spawning the axe within his hand, he would slash it to the side, digging into Lucifer's side as he's sent flying once more.

The other sins weren't having it either. As Lucifer tries to regain his balance, he's suddenly hit with Satan's punch, although this one was MUCH harder than the previous, shaking nearly the entirety of Pride itself.

Flying forward, Lucifer was then blasted out of the air by Belphegor who used her full power, leaving several harsh burns on his body before he was grabbed by Asmodeus, who in turn slammed him to the ground multiple times before violently throwing him.

Being caught by one of the many arms of Beelzebub who was in her full demonic form now. She began to bite down on Lucifer's upper half, flinging him around as if he was a chew toy before firing her laser breath, propelling him forward towards Leviathan who also did the same, the two heads pulling and biting at Lucifer before he's thrown away.

“NGAAAHHHH!!!!!” Lucifer crashed onto the floor, creating a crater. His entire body is in pain, from the burn marks that reeked his flesh, to the multiple broken bones that littered throughout his body, making it impossible to stand up in this state.

Hearing footsteps coming closer, he turned his head to the source against his body's judgement.

It was Adam, and he looked even more pissed than the previous loops.

Seething with silent rage, Adam would bring up his axe, before….

 

*SCHLING!*

 

---

Lucifer awoke, gasping in surprise as he slowly calmed down, looking around his workshop.

 

….

 

“Man…family, am I right?” He said to no one in particular.

Regardless, he sought out what he got, securing a kill and retrieving a new weapon!

Reaching into his pocket dimension, he pulled out the newly gained item, which is Paimon's sword, it reeked with not only angelic energy, but also unknown energy that he doesn't know, although he questioned if this weapon is any stronger than the glaive.

Regardless, this Is a weapon he's definitely more familiar with, and he'll definitely use it to its full capacity.

 

….

 

Ya know, after having to go through all that, a little break wouldn't hurt, would it?

Grabbing his remote, he would sit on a chair as he flipped through the channels on his TV, before settling on the one he likes and turning his brain off to enjoy the nonsense.

His smile grew.

Notes:

Drew a little sketch of Lucifer here cuz I thought it looked cool lol

Chapter 10: Trial

Summary:

Lucifer encounters the first family, but instead of taking noteworthy items, he instead took a different approach....

Lucifer sat on his couch with an offer and chocolate bar in his hand and a soda in the other, watching some soap opera on the TV. His mind wandered off as many thoughts filled his head, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Shaking his head, he redirected his attention back to the TV, something about someone's daughter bonds with their father's nefarious enemy, to a point they're calling them “Uncle” even.

It was kinda funny not gonna lie, giving a slight chuckle at such a concept, but he digressed.

Picking up the sword that was originally by Paimon, he inspected it. It was big, but small enough for him to hold, it was so sleek in fact that he was positive it would have stabbed through his back if he was a little too late, not to mention this thing reeks of angelic energy on par with the Glaive.

Despite all these redeeming qualities, he couldn't help but just feel as though this weapon is just ever so slightly imperfect, as if something is missing from it. Oh well, perhaps he'll figure something out once he returns to his workshop.

Taking a bite out of his chocolate bar, he savoured its taste as he chewed slowly, the chocolate sticking to the roof of his tongue and teeth before he swallowed. He then downed it all down with the soda.

Once again, he began to have thoughts once more.

(“If I'm supposed to be in some sort of purgatory….then what the hell is going on in the real world?”) he wondered to himself, he knows he's here for a reason, and he just wonders what his actual daughter is up to.

Checking the time, he noticed that he's only 3 minutes away before someone tries to kill him in the palace again. He took a big sigh as he downed the rest of his chocolate and soda.

“Alright fate, let's see what else you got in store for me this time.”

Unveiling his wings, he leapt off of his balcony, gliding for a few seconds to gain some momentum before he flapped, increasing his speed in an instant, although he was pretty sure he just heard one of his windows shatter….Dammit!

But eh, experimentation is experimentation he supposed.

 

---

 

Arriving at the battle field, he would give Adam yet another punch to his cheek, sending him flying into the hotel's billboard.

Of course, this doesn't deter Adam from the fight, as the two engage in combat once more, although Lucifer was taking this a lot less seriously than usual.

“You're the most hated being in all of creation!” Adam screamed his usual line out, firing a barrage of layers upon Lucifer as he did.

He of course, effortlessly dodged and even parried some of the back with a sword that he would occasionally keep pulling out of his ass.

Thinking back to Lilith, Lucifer smirked as he thought of a perfect line to initiate yet another divergence.

‘Well, your first wife didn't seem to mind what I had to offer," Lucifer sang in a mocking tone as he flew through the air, fending off Adam's attacks with little effort. "Or the second! Bow chick-”

 

THOOM

 

There it is.

 

Grabbing his sword, he immediately blocked what seemed to be a stream of light heading towards his face, redirecting the blast to a city block of Pentagram City. “DAYUM!” Lucifer exclaimed in a mix of excitement and surprise.

Turning his head upwards, he noticed an angel in full golden armour charging straight towards him, in his hands were two swords of angelic steel. The two blades came slashing down, intending on harming Lucifer, however they were quickly blocked by Paimon's sword. He would then kick the angel in the chest, sending him crashing to the ground.

Sensing another attempt at a sneak attack, Lucifer would weave under another pair of blades, although he would grit his teeth feeling the tip of his top wings being sliced off. This wouldn't go unpunished however as Lucifer spun around and slashed the angel in the angel, sending them into another oncoming angel.

After huffing for a bit, Lucifer would turn to inspect his wounds, especially his wings. Man, that looks really nasty, he's gotta get that treated eventually.

“Alright, who's come to die eh?” Lucifer said with a smug, turning to face his new opponents as he landed on the ground not too far away from Charlie and the Hotel guests.

Rising from the dust, emerged three angels that wore golden armour. They felt much heavier than usual Exorcist armour and looked more of the armour the knights of Medieval Europe would wear, although it seemed to be redesigned to have a more futuristic aesthetic. The lights glowing along the joints and palms lent credence to this idea. The first that tried to attack him of course had two swords, while the other seemingly had sickles made from angelic steel, which seems kind of a weird weapon of choice, the last angel held a highly advanced rifle, they definitely fire lasers instead of bullets.

Noticing the shadow dawning upon the three angels, Lucifer looked up to see Adam, still injured from his fight. But what shocked him the most was that a fourth angel flew over to Adam's side. Then…the helmet retracted to reveal….

 

….

 

“Holy shit, Eve?”

Lucifer said in another breath of disbelief, first Lilith, now Eve?

Eve of course, did take too kindly to being interrupted, and turned to look at Lucifer with disdain. "Can it, Duck Fucker. I'm busy." She then turned to Adam, and all the disdain melted away, leaving only a look of love and adoration. Yep, this Is definitely a family reunion, back to back huh?

Although Lucifer felt a hint of disappointment at the gesture.

“Aw C'mon what happened, I thought we were cool-”

“I SAID CAN IT!” Eve yelled out, immediately shutting Lucifer up.

Lucifer rolled his eyes, before walking over to where Charlie and the rest were grouped up, leaning against a wall next to that one eyed maid.

“Dad….you said that was Eve, right?...why is she here?” Charlie asked hesitantly, shouldn't she be free after receiving the gift of free will?

“Honestly? No fucking clue, but uh…yep that's Eve alright, almost how I remember her.” Lucifer simply said, crossing his arms as he did.

At the same time, he turned to see that Eve had pulled Adam into a kiss, causing both Exorcists and Demons alike to cheer for their union.

“Ugh…I can't believe someone like her would date someone like Adam.” Vaggie said sparkly.

“I mean, free will am I right? Besides, weren't you literally an Exorcist once?” Lucifer asked, Vaggie didn't respond and instead opted to turn away.

Turning his head down towards the small maid, he decides to make some small talk.

“You seem giddy, what gives?” The Breaker of Eden asked. Niffty immediately turned her head to Lucifer with a wide grin and eye. “Why shouldn't I? All I see is bad children running a mock, and now their parents have reunited! I'll make an example out of them.” Niffty said as she was practically frothing from the mouth at the idea.

“Yeesh seems a bit harsh don't you….” Lucifer couldn't finish his sentence as a thought entered his head.

 

…

 

“How small are you?” Lucifer bluntly asked.

Niffty looked in surprise, but regained her chaotic composure. “Small enough to slip between cracks! After all, those bugs can't run forever….” She gripped her knife harder.

“Ah, cool….cool.” he nodded.

He looked around to assess his surroundings, everyone was too caught up at Looking at the First Man and Eve, with Eve seemingly putting some sort of armour onto Adam, which he admits looked cool as hell.

And then, slowly he began to inch towards Niffty, taking another look around before taking another inch.

 

(“Steady…. Steady….”)

 

He was practically right next to her, but she has yet to notice somehow, probably too busy thinking of the many ways she'll dismember the First Man.

He slowly raised his hand until….

 

*GRAB!*

 

“H-Hey! Hands of- MMPPHH!!!” Niffty attempted to scream, before she found herself being roughly shoved into something.

Lucifer was trying his hardest to push the rest of Niffty into his pocket dimension while at the same time trying not to shatter this girls bone structure.

“C’mon! Just stop resisting!” He pushed, and she kicked frantically. This would repeat for a bit before…

 

*Pop!*

 

Immediately closing the pocket dimension, Lucifer sighed in relief, thankfully that the dimension had just enough space to fit a whole sinner in there.

Turning his head, he noticed Vaggie staring right at him, with wide eyes and gapping mouth.

 

….

 

“You didn't see anything.”

“Got it.”

The two exchange nods, before turning to the scene once more.

It seems Adam and Eve aren't alone, as suddenly, multiple figures began to emerge from the Portal of Heaven, a swarm of them even. They wore the same futuristic knight armour like the previous, but now it they're armed to the teeth, with one half wielding various melee weapons like swords and spears, while the other wielding hyper advanced rifles straight out of a Sci-fi series, not hesitating to fire upon those who fought against the angels before hand while the melees swung and slashed at multiple sinners alongside delivering the new armour to the remaining Exorcists.

(“Damn, I must get a hold of one of these! But….that maid….”) Lucifer was considering getting another sample of weapons, but he had a worry that it would result in Nifftys escape, which he doesn't want to happen right now.

He'll have to revisit this later.

“Alright punks, are you done making loving remarks to each other yet?” Lucifer shouted to Adam and Eve amongst the sound of war, cracking his knuckles as he did.

The two turned annoyingly at him, Eve in turn shifting her entire body towards him. “If you're jealous of me exchanging my love to the greatest of man, you should've said so.” Eve remarked in an attempt to rile up Lucifer.

Lucifer however just rolled his eyes, as he took notice of the other three. “Let me guess, you're Cain, Able and Seth huh?”

“Didn't think you'd remember so easily, Lucifraud.” Adam remarked, causing Eve to chuckle a bit while Lucifer felt an anger tick mark on his head, gosh he hated that nickname.

“Ah whatever, I've let this shit show go on for way too long, it's time you all get a real beating!” Lucifer said, engulfing his eyes and fists in flames. It's time to test out his actual combat skills instead of his swordsmanship.

He charged forward towards Cain, at a speed even Charlie couldn't react as he pulled his fist before throwing it with all his might, ensuring it would hit its target. Cain in turn would raise his hand the second he got close, anticipating grabbing Lucifer's fist but he would suddenly redirect his fist to the ground Cain was standing on, sending him off balance for a bit before delivering an uppercut to his chin, sending him stumbling back. (“Man, that armour can hold its own huh?”) Lucifer wondered internally.

Turning around, he was barely able to summon his shield as Eve threw a punch, creating a shockwave which knocked the both of them back.

“C'mon Cain, you're gonna let Lucifer of all people actually hit you?” Eve scolded The First Murderer. “He just got lucky, that's all.” Cain responded as he stood up and dusted himself off.

As Lucifer stood up, he quickly weaved a pair of blades wielded by Abel. He would repeat this again as one would attempt to slice his gut while the other went for his neck. “Damn, give me a break, boy!” Lucifer said, kicking his knee and sending him down a bit before grabbing both of his shoulders and kneeling him straight in the chin, sending him upwards as he grabbed his leg and threw him at Seth, he narrowly dodged his brother's ragdolling form.

Adam, infuriated that Lucifer has yet to be actually injured, charged forward as he brought two of his arms down onto Lucifer's shield, shattering it under the impact before grabbing Lucifer's shoulders and headbutting him to the ground. He would then bring his feet up and give a hard stomp, in which Lucifer would roll out of the way off as he attempted to sweep Adams leg.

However, due to the new armour, the leg didn't move an inch, and only served to hurt Lucifer's shin, letting out a hiss of pain.

“Thought that would work, bitch?” Adam sarcastically said before punching Lucifer square in the face, sending him crashing into the hotel.

“Fucking hell!” Lucifer cussed out, getting up from the rubble as he saw Seth taking aim with his rifle. Grinning, he would charge forward, transforming into a snake as he would dodge and weave every laser bolt that fired, before transforming back and dropkicking Seth in the chest, although he used the rifle to absorb most of the force.

Lucifer would then block two sickles coming down on him with his shield, pushing upwards and snatching a sickle from Cain's hand before slashing diagonally at Cain's chest, leaving a large gash wound.

“HANDS OFF MY SON!” he would quickly parry an incoming punch from Adam, who would respond with a barrage of them onto the sickle. He's surprised it hasn't shattered by now.

Sensing a force from his left, Lucifer would cease Adam's punches, grabbing his left arm and pulling him forward as he stepped back, letting him get accidentally tackled by Eve.

“You should look left more often! He- OW!” Lucifer screamed in pain as he felt two of his wings slashed off. Turning around quickly, he would block another pair of swords from Able.

“We've been going easy on you, Deceiver.” Able bluntly and confidently said. The two began to engage in battle, as Able brought one sword down diagonally while the other would slash at his gut in a 360 spin. Lucifer felt a piece of his shoulder sliced off as he blocked a sword from slashing his gut with the sickle, before his eyes glowed bright and fired a stream of lasers at Able's face point blank, sending him crashing into a recovering Cain.

“Then continue doing so.” Lucifer said, chuckling.

He would turn around and block a laser from Seth's rifle, before he's suddenly hit in the side from Adam's laser too.

“GRAH!” Lucifer tumbled to the ground, smelling the smell of burning flesh from his side.

Looking off to the side, he spotted one of the armoured angels firing their highly advanced rifle at a group of sinners, their forms disintegrating upon contact. With a smirk, he lunges towards the angel, grabbing ahold of their rifle before spinning around and rifle whipping them, knocking them out in one blow.

“EAT SHIT BITCHES!!!!” Immediately, he began to open fire upon the angels, some took cover while others had the unfortunate fate of being hit in the chest or shoulder, burning through their armour and flesh and leaving a nasty smell.

“YEAAAAHHH BABY NOW WE'RE TALKING!” Lucifer then turned their gun to the First Family, with Adam immediately summoning a shield to protect them. “Knock it off, Lucy!”

Lucifer wouldn't knock it off, in fact, he only pressed the trigger even harder!

Of course, that is until the rifle would overheat, to a point where smoke was radiating off the barrel.

 

“Oh…oh what the fuc- AGH!”

 

Lucifer screamed in pain as he felt his left hand sliced clean off, the blood spraying everywhere as Able regained his stance.

Lucifer didn't relent however, as he immediately charged forward and smacked the butt of the rifle into Able’s helmet, knocking it clean off before repeating it again, knocking some teeth as well.

“HANDS OFF!” Eve barreled towards him, smacking the rifle away from his hands as she delivered a heavy punch to his face, sending his trajectory towards Adam before punching his back, sending him towards Eve.

They would continue to perform this absolute golden combo before Adam finished it off slam, breaking multiple bones in Lucifer's body.

“HAHAH! SEE HOW YOU LIKE BEING TRIGGER HAPPY!” Adam boasted to Lucifer, who used all of his strength to get up on his feet.

The First Family regrouped once more, ready to take on Lucifer. “Face it Lucifraud, your fucked for good! I’d say just lay down and accept your fate.” Adam stated.

Lucifer looked at them with a blank stare, before he let out a soft chuckle. “Heheh…I suppose your right, I should just accept my fate….”

 

…

 

He suddenly grabbed a nearby sword.

“On my Terms.”

He brought the sword down into his gut and….

 

 

*SLCHUK!*

 

---

 

Lucifer jolted in surprise, feeling a phantom sense of pain in his gut from plunging the sword in there.

“Fuck….it just doesn't get any better.” He whispered to himself.

After clearing his throat, he began to mentally assign his achievements on this loop. He has some sights set on this particular divergence, but he'll have to postpone that for later due to…ya know, exhaustion.

Although he wasn't able to retrieve any special weapons from that divergence, he was able to retrieve one special person.

The one-eyed maid, what was her name? Niffty? Definitely Niffty.

“Hm, hopefully she takes the news well.”

He took a deep breath, taking a sip of some nearby coffee, before he opened his pocket dimension...

Moment of truth.

Chapter 11: The Maid

Summary:

Lucifer makes a discovery with Niffty and the two hit it off!

“GRAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!”

 

“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!”

 

Lucifer suddenly found his vision covered in darkness as the hotel's maid leapt onto his face, swinging their knife all over the place while moving and clawing as if they were a startled cat.

“GET OFF ME!” Lucifer shouted, desperately trying to pry Niffty off of his face as he stumbled on a pile of rubber ducks, sending both of them tumbling to the ground although Niffty still held tight.

“BAD BOY! BAD BOY!” Niffty shouted as she and Lucifer wrestled for the knife within her hands, seriously, she can't be this much of a slippery snail!

Eventually, he was able to grab ahold of her waist, before tossing her to the other side of the room, with a mountain of rubber ducks breaking her fall. She then got up and ran towards him again before he raised his hands.

“HEY HEY HEY HEY, CALM DOWN OKAY?!” Lucifer exclaimed, his body and face were covered in slashes, it was as if a cat was scratching his face multiple times.

Niffty stopped in her tracks although he still held her knife tightly. “That was incredibly rude, Mister Luce! If you wanted to touch me, you should've asked!” Niffty exclaimed with a pouring face as she swung her arms over the place.

Lucifer narrowed his eyes as he wiped the blood on his face. “Ugh….I honestly should've seen that coming.” He deadpanned.

As Lucifer continued cleaning his face, Niffty took a look around the room, finding it covered in ducks. Was…was she in Lucifer's palace?

“HEY! What am I doing here? I should be at the hotel teaching naughty people a lesson!” Niffty said, holding up her knife to eye level as she admired the dried blood on it.

“Well uh…it's kinda complicated, but you gotta listen to me.” Lucifer pleaded.

“Well that just won't do….SEND ME BACK!” Niffty responded a millisecond in.

“Wait- Just let me talk-!”

“SEND ME BACK!”

“Hold on-!”

“Ms. Charlie needs me!”

“Just stop talkin-”

“DON'T MAKE ME FORCE YOU!”

“Shut up-!”

“I'LL COUNT TO THREE!”

“Stop-”

“ONE!”

“I said-”

“TWO!!!”

“THERE'S NO POINT!!!!!!” Lucifer shouted with all of his fury, his horns and wings already sprouting from their positions.

That made Niffty shut up, either by the raw fury of his voice or the sentence….or both.

“What…what do you mean?” Niffty tilted her head in confusion.

Lucifer took a deep breath as his wings and horns retracted back. “Look, I know this might sound outrageous even for me but, you'll have to trust me on this one, okay?” Lucifer grapes her shoulders.

Niffty soured her face for a few seconds before shrugging and returning to her upbeat behaviour. “Okay! What is it?” Niffty bounced up and down.

Lucifer took another deep breath.

“I'm in a time loop.”

 

…..

 

“Excuse me?” Niffty said confusingly.

“I'm in a time loop, right at this very moment, during the battle of the hotel.” Lucifer stated once more.

“....Really?” Niffty asked again.

“YES! I JUST TOLD YOU!” Lucifer shouted.

 

…..

 

“Oh okay!” Niffty said with a smile.

“Look I can show you some eviden- ….wait what?” Lucifer was about to reach into his pocket dimension before turning in confusion.

“I mean, your Lord Lucifer right? People like you always know best, especially Charlie! Heheheh….” Niffty giggled to herself.

“Huh…well….that was certainly easier than I expected-”

“WAIT!....How exactly do you know you were in a time loop?” Niffty asked as she tucked her knife away.

“Well…I honestly don't really know myself, I just…suddenly started remembering each loop one after the other.” Lucifer scratched his head, he really didn't exactly know what happened.

“L-listen, that's not important right now. I just made a discovery involving you!” Lucifer pointed to Niffty.

“Little ol' me? How?”

“Right so…. You might have to sit down for this one since it's preeeeetty deep context.” Lucifer ushered Niffty to a nearby chair as he also did himself.

 

“....Throughout these loops, I'm seemingly the only one that can remember my memories after death, Charlie, Adam, literally anyone else doesn't seem to remember or know what I'm talking about. Regardless, I was able to use a particularly interesting spell that helps me a lot which is called “Pocket of Gold”. Think of it as a pocket dimension that is etched into reality itself, where you can store almost anything inside it, and the best part? Anything put in there follows me into the next loop!”

“Oooh, so that's why I saw a book and a sword floating around in an empty void! Too bad they're kinda heavy….” Niffty pouted her cheeks.

“This whole time I thought…”Is it possible for a sinner to remember if put into this?” And guess what? It worked! You remember what the fuck happened, right?” Lucifer looked at Niffty with confirmation.

“Of course! You kidnapped me!” Niffty exclaimed in an upbeat manner.

“Well…technically I….ah whatever. The point is, you and I now know we're in this shit hole, and with you, we can make a difference!” Lucifer raised his fist to the air.

“Oh boy! Does that mean I can get to kill Adam whenever I want????” Niffty asked, returning to her bouncing up and down passive.

“Ah…well…see there's a problem with that…” Lucifer scratched his head. “We…. technically can't kill Adam.”

 

….

 

“What.” Her one giant eye widened.

 

“Yeah I know it sucks! Every time I try to kill that fucker, something always shows up and kills me before I could, and EVEN if I did kill him, he just pulls something out of his ass to become stronger!” Lucifer huffed, crossing his arms as he mumbled curses under his breath.

Niffty however, just stared at Lucifer unblinking, the realisation hitting her hard than he would've expected, but then again it's Niffty, who knew.

Suddenly, Niffty stood up from her chair, grabbing it by the legs before violently throwing it into a window, shattering the whole thing as pieces of glass fell to the floor.

“...that was unnecessary.” He deadpanned.

The hotel maid simply stared out the shattered window with her back turned to the morningstar, before she suddenly whipped back around, now reverted back to her more upbeat behaviour. “So when do we leave?” She asked.

“Woah woah woah, you just got here, I think it's best if you read this before we do anything fucking crazy.” He then reached into his pocket dimension before tossing his journal to the Cyclops maid.

“Ooooooo…..” Niffty sounded as she opened the first page, intensely reading every word per second. “....Could you hurry the fuck up?” Lucifer impatiently asked.

 

…

 

“No!”

 

“Ugh….”

 

….

 

“Your writing is sucky!” Niffty exclaimed.

 

“I know.”

After exactly 5 minutes had passed with careful supervision from the Morningstar, he returned the journal as the two got ready to storm the hotel battle once more.

“Why do I have to be in there again?!” Niffty cried out, she was told that she had to re go back into Lucy's pocket dimension. “Too valuable, can't have you dying the second we attack.” Lucifer said unimpressed.

“C'mon, I promise I'll be a good girl, please please please?.” Niffty pleaded as she did….those eyes to try and appease him. He only lets out a sigh.

“Alright, I'll have you take a little peak once in a while, how's that deal?” Lucifer responded.

“Very scrumptious!” She reached over and began to shake his hand despite never offering to do that.

 

“Uh…. okay?”

 

After Niffty reentered the dimension, Lucifer would uncurl his wings once more before flying straight through the shattered window from before.

He didn't break it this time, so it counts.

 

---

 

He honestly thinks this might be the fastest he's beating Adam.

“You really want a pegging session by death so badly huh?” Lucifer mocked, all the while doing and weaving a combination of Adam's holy laser and an axe swing with the power of shape shifting. He then delivered a hard slap to Adam's cheek, shattering another part of their Exorcist mask.

“AGH! SHUT UP, ID RATHER EMBRACE DEATH ANYWAYS!” Adam screamed in response as he fired yet another holy laser

“Yeah no you wouldn't.” Without much effort, he evaded another one of his holy lasers (seriously, is this Adam's only move or what?!), before kneeing his chin, sending him upwards a bit before grabbing his legs with one and his shoulder with the other.

“Your generation will certainly feel this one!” Lucifer soundly stated before bringing Adam down, with his back turned onto his knee, performing a devastating backbreaker. This obviously results in Adam screaming the loudest scream he has ever heard in a millennium alongside a nasty crack.

Alongside that, he also heard the cheers of Niffty as he let her take a peak out of his dimension pocket.

Tossing the First Man away, he watched as Adam desperately tried to crawl a good distance away before turning and firing another one of his holy lasers from his hand, which was easily blocked by Lucy's shield.

“You're getting a lot less creative, Adam.” he said before charging forward and delivering a hard punch directly into Adam's face, cracking the ground beneath them as it kicked dust everywhere.

As he landed on the ground and slowly walked towards the crater which held Adam, he suddenly felt something behind his back, a chill feeling, he can feel it's hostility yet it's not attacking, this Is further backed up by Adam's stare, which was right behind him as opposed to at him.

Turning around, he saw a recognisable shape in the sky behind him. It was a Seraphim, a tall female one that was dressed in dark tattered robes with the hood pulled up. There were also three skulls that were tied to the robe with some rope akin to trophies some people would collect, alongside six incredibly sharp wings covered in pale feathers. Likewise, her whole skin was incredibly pale too with black void eyes. And finally, she wielded a large scythe in one of her hands.

 

Hmmm, she certainly looks familiar….

 

“Uh…Hello there?” Lucifer responded, unsure of what to say to someone like this.

"... Do... Do you not recognize her, Lucifraud?" Adam stared at him, bewildered at his blinding stupidity.

“Hmm……probably….also stop calling me that! I literally just beat your ass a second ago- HRK!” Lucifer's sentence was suddenly cut off as the Seraphim suddenly grabbed him by the throat, before she threw him towards the hotel with a loud grunt. Lucifer crashed into a wall but was able to quickly restabilize himself.

As Adam struggled to pull himself up, the strange Seraphim would offer her hand, helping Adam up.

“It's good to see you, Azzy.”

Lucifer watched in intrigue and confusion as the Seraphim seemingly blushed at the nickname. He swore it sounded familiar to him.

Suddenly, Niffty poked her head out of the pocket dimension, seemingly hearing that nickname. “Hey it's Azrael!”

“Huh?”

“It's Azrael! You know who Azrael is right? The Azrael? Azrael person? The Azrael incarnate? The Azrael Among Us? Azrael Dreemu-”

“Okay I get it! It's Azrael, Grim Reaper and shit!” Lucifer shouted. “How did you even know who that is?” He asked, tilting his head.

“Grim Reaper? I thought it was Azrael!”

“But…those are the same…whatever.”

Lucifer shrugged, turning to face the two once more. “Didn't know you had an affair with the grim reaper, Adam.”

Adam turned angrily to the Morningstar. “Shut the fuck up, Lucifraud, you don't know anything between us!”

Azrael turned also, seemingly annoyed and angered as well. “Besides, you don't get to speak on affairs after what you've done to me.”

“Did what?”

 

….

 

"DEATH, you moron!!! It was never meant to exist! Yet because of you giving Eve that damned Apple, Death was introduced into the world. And I was no longer the Angel of Ascension, but instead, the Angel of Death. All. Because. Of YOU.”

“Well….to be fair, that title seems more fitting for you, AND it's pretty badass, wouldn't you agree?” Lucifer smugly said, resting his arms behind his head. “Besides, I thought you were always that, but then again maybe I'm just fucking stupid.”

“Sure whatever, but now that I'm here, I'll make sure to teach you a lesson Sera wouldn't.” Azrael ominously said as she spun her Scythe around.

“Alright alright…..so are we gonna have an epic anime battle that shakes the world or are you just gonna kill me in one fell swoop?”

 

“.... Excuse me?” Azrael tilted her head at the sentence.

 

“Oh ya know, like what those two are doing right now!” Lucifer pointed his hand behind Azrael and Adam, making them turn their heads to the source.

Although they were greeted with an anime battle, more so a slap fight between a sinner and an exorcist that lost their weapon.

“SIKE!” Lucifer shouted as he charged forward before delivering a hard inflamed punch to Azrael's backside, sending her tumbling forward into a large rock which shattered upon impact. Lucifer then did a 180 and kicked Adam in the dick, sending him flying out of his crater and into the hotel.

“How'd you like them apples?” Lucifer taunted as he summoned a regular apple in his hand and took a bite out of it, before throwing it away into the steep cliff.

Azrael flew up, angered at being caught off guard before fog suddenly emanated from her wings, covering nearly the entire battleground below as it obscured her form.

“Damn, that doesn't look good. Niffty, you seeing this shit?” Lucifer observed the battlefield as multiple sinners who were in the fog began to choke and fall to ground. 

“Niffty?” He turned to look at where Nifftys usual poking out spot is, and found her staring down at the fog below, seemingly entranced.

Turning his body, he shook Nifftys head a couple times before giving her a hard slap. “Snap out of that shit! Get back in there!”

 

…

 

“I don't like this.” Niffty uttered.

 

He didn't have time to question it tho as he forcefully pushed her back inside the pocket dimension before retrieving Paimon's sword. “Alright pale face, where ya at?!”

Lucifer felt a presence behind him, as he quickly turned around and parried a strike from Azrael's scythe, forcing her to disappear within the fog once more.

He then blocked another one, this time it was the blunt of scythe which was a lot easier to parry. He then reeled back and headbutted her head, sending her to the ground and obscuring her form once more.

Conjuring up a large ball of fire, he threw it onto the fog below, clearing out some of it before he summoned another one, and then another.

Right as he was about to throw a 7th one, he suddenly felt a sharp blade cut into his side, sending him down into the fog below as he let out a scream.

Immediately, he would get into a running start and fly up once more, but found himself a lot more sluggish than usual, making him struggle to keep himself in the air. “God…what the…what the fuck is thi-”

 

*SLASH!*

 

“GRAAAAHH!”

 

Lucifer tumbled to the ground once more as he felt 3 of his right wings severed from his back, hitting hard on to the ground with a hard crack from his shoulder.

“Agh…N-Niffty…you- *COUGH* still there?” Lucifer called out to Niffty as he coughed violently in the fog, feeling himself getting weaker by the second.

He felt a slight nudge within his pocket dimension, that must've been her, she's safe.

Looking up at the sky, he saw the standing form of Azrael above him with her arms crossed and obscured in shadows, almost as if she was making him see how much better and cooler she was.

(“Grah….she can have this win for now, this won't be the last time…”) Lucifer thought to himself as he simply let himself lay down on the floor within the fog.

Slowly but surely, his bodily functions stopped responding to him, he couldn't get the energy to even lift his arms and legs up.

Looking up one last time, he saw the descending form of Azrael with her scythe high up in the air….before he felt darkness consume him once more.

 

*SLASH!*

Chapter 12: Unforgiving

Summary:

Lucifer continues his documentation while Niffty runs around his palace.

Then the two discover another divergence, this will be interesting.

Lucifer the Shining One found himself standing in front of a door, it was obvious from the exterior around it that he was in the newly built hotel that he helped partake in. On the door were large bold words that read “CHARLIE MORNINGSTAR.”

He wondered why exactly he was standing in front of his daughter's hotel room, though he supposed that he was here for something important. Taking a big sigh, he lifted his hand onto the doorknob, before twisting it open.

When he stepped inside, he took a moment to admire all of the magnificent things his daughter's room had to offer. It was much bigger than it was before, alongside the decorations that hung on the walls such as family pictures, old dolls and beautiful symbols.

The bed remained the same as he knew, although there are a lot more plushies on it, speaking of which.

Lucifer turned to look at the bed, noticing Charlie sat on the side, hunched over while seemingly holding something in her hands.

“Heeeeyyy Charlie, nice room you got here. How's it going?” Lucifer exclaimed as he walked inside, resting his hands behind his back as he slowly approached his daughter.

Although….she hasn't responded to his question yet.

“Charlie?” Lucifer asked confusingly, as he stopped beside his daughter and took a good glance at her and the thing she was holding.

It was clear that Charlie is not feeling well judging by the bags under her eyes, some snot running down from her nose and her hunched over position on the bed.

In her hand was a small plate and a cup of tea….or at least was, as it seemed like whatever liquid was inside it had already been drunk up, but weirdly enough, Charlie still took a sip out of the empty cup regardless.

Feeling concerned, he lightly nudged Charlie's shoulder with his hand in hopes of getting her attention.

 

It worked to say the least.

 

Charlie suddenly jolted, as she would accidentally drop the plate and cup she was holding, the plate clattering on to the ground while the cup shattered upon impact.

“H-huh?...” Charlie looked around for a brief second, before noticing Lucifer right beside her. “O-oh…hey dad.” She said,

“You….don't look too good Charlie, I guess Veggie wasn't lying when she said you were sick.” Lucifer felt the words exit his mouth.

Charlie yawned a bit as she shook her head slightly. 

“Heh…I know dad, but I promise you I can take care of myself, it's just a common cold after all.” Charlie exclaimed, shifting her position on the bed to be something more comfortable.

Lucifer raised an eyebrow. “Honey, you look like you haven't slept in days, and weren't you just drinking out of an empty cup earlier?” He said as he pointed to the shattered cup on the ground.

“Was I…?” Charlie looked down at the cup below, before she let out a soft chuckle. “Heh….I'm sure I was just spaced out for a second….but uh, really I can take care of myself! I still got things to do, ya know, keep the hotel running and all that, like doing our daily redemption activities and also filming a commercial!”

 

….

 

“Didn't you film one yesterday?” Lucifer asked as he tilted his head

 

….

 

“I did?...”

“Yup.”

 

….

 

“Charlie, I really think you should take a break.” Lucifer grasped his daughter's shoulder, squeezing tightly to enforce his point.

“I….I guess you're right, dad. I don't know what's gotten into me….” Resting her arms on her knees, she took a big sigh.

“Hmmmmm….” Lucifer brought a hand to his chin, trying to figure out a way to help make his daughter feel better.

“I suppose you wouldn't mind going for a stroll around the city eh?” Lucifer exclaimed as he rested his arm on the bed.

“It's…very weird coming from you but….of course!” Charlie exclaimed excitingly as she stood up.

“Great! I'll meet ya outside, be there or be square! HAHAH!” Lucifer laughed, before running over to a nearby window, opening it up before jumping out. “Wait- DAD!”

He would let himself free fall from the hotel, gliding down with his wings as he expected to have a good landing. But suddenly, he started receiving a really bad headache, drawing a grunt from him as he held his head.

 

“What the fuck is…OH SHIT-”

 

He noticed he was about to crash into the ground, and with little time to sway around, he braced for impact, raising his arms up to protect him.

---

“GRAH-! OUCH!”

Lucifer jolted awake at his workshop, accidentally hitting the back of his head against the wall beside him, letting out a small hiss as he rubbed it to ease the pain.

 

Was…was that another dream….?

 

He felt his mind was about to explode with the countless types of questions he receives every loop. He pinched his eyes to ease it a bit.

“Fuck….this just never gets-”

“HEY!” Niffty suddenly popped out from Lucifer's pocket dimension beside him.

“AHHHH!” Lucifer screamed startled as he stumbled back, accidentally tripping over a pile of ducks therefore causing them to squeak really loudly.

Niffty elegantly exited the pocket dimension, landing gracefully like the silly queen she is.

“Man, you were LIGHTS OUT when Azrael killed you! I almost thought you died of heatstroke!” Niffty exclaimed.

Lucifer huffed and puffed, regaining his composure as he stood up. “No one dies from heatstroke Niffy, we're in literal hell!” Lucifer exclaimed loudly.

“Naaah, I knew someone who got heatstroke! Turns out being in an oven for so long can give you one!” Niffty exclaimed happily.

“....Huh….neat.” Lucifer looked off to the side, unsure of how to process this information. “Ah that doesn't matter now, we gotta get back on track before shit goes down again.” He said as he reached into his pocket dimension, taking out his journal once more to document the new loop.

Sitting at his table once more, he began to write his findings.

Curiously, he noticed that Niffty had somehow climbed onto his back without him knowing, looking over his shoulder at his journal. “Uhm…what are you doing?”

“Looking.... I love looking!” Niffty exclaimed with a giggle.

“We'll look at something else! I need to concentrate without some bug creature on my back.” He huffed before continuing his writing.

“Okie dokie lokie!” Niffty hopped off of his back, skittering off deeper into the palace to keep herself busy, after all, she doesn't like staying in one spot for too long.

Lucifer took one glance behind him, before turning around to continue, muttering to himself.

Journal Entry #3

Back to this book again. Ya know, I think I'm starting to get used to this purgatory like realm, I mean, I still do not like being tortured and murdered in cold blood, but it gets easier to bear each time. But then again, something else can just come by and ruin my mental state for a couple of days.

Regarding Niffty, she's uh….interesting to say the least, if I remember correctly she was a part of that radio demons group of misfits, as much as I despise that unworthy sack of shit, I really wonder how he managed to pull it off.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to recover any new items from the previous loop 

Although, I'm thinking of checking out the Goetia books again to try and see if I can learn new spells to help me, after all, the simplest methods are the best methods!

 

Regardless, new loop discovered so YAAAAAYYYY I guess….i'll just write it down here.

 

“LOOP-107 (DEATH)

Location: Around the Hill top.

Divergence: Mentioning anything death related to Adam whether that would be an affair or metaphorically.”

I always thought grim reapers were pretty badass, if I wasn't an archangel I would've probably become a grim reaper, reaping souls and shit from earth, can you imagine that?

Well anyways, I guess it's time to test out some spells, cya.

 

...

 

Lucifer would close the book, taking a big sigh as he rested his hand on the table, he felt that all the bullshit he was writing, one thing always reigned both true and false.

“The simplest methods are the best methods…” he muttered to himself, sometimes all you need it a sword and just go on from there…but….at the same time, he doesn't know if he could go beyond that

Sometimes, he always considered returning to that room of his that he locked away so many years ago just so he could have an advantage over these bastards…but he'd sworn that he'll never return to that room since his fall, it felt painful really.

Welp, there's no use stalling, it's time he tries out some new spells.

Walking over to the other untouched Goetia books, he opened one of them, settling on page one.

Niffty wandered through the long halls of Lucifer's palace with a look of disgust on her face, this place was filthy! Almost every corner she looked at was covered in dust and spiders! Oh how those pesky arachnids follow here everywhere she goes!

Grabbing a hold of one of her knives, she slowly advanced to one of the corners that held a spider, before she lunged towards it crashing and ruining the web as she grabbed a hold of the spider within her hands.

She watched with glee as the spider squirmed in her hands. “You know your kind here does not belong here! But don't worry, I'll make sure to give everyone a reminder….” She chuckled devilishly.

Shifting her fingers so that it would expose the spider's body while her other fingers kept tight on its neck, she would slowly and gently bring her knife towards the spider's abdomen, before dissecting it from top to bottom, letting its insides fall out and splatting onto the ground. Expectedly, the spider died not too long after.

“Hehehehehehe!” She dropped the carcass onto the ground, watching as the other spiders skedaddle away from her presence and into the cracks.

“AND DON'T COME BACK!” Niffty shouted, her voice echoing through the hallway. She let out a sigh of relief as she tucked her knife away. “Another job well done!”

Turning around, she was about to continue walking down the hallway before she noticed something to her left.

A large kitchen of sorts, there were thankfully no bugs or spiders in her way, although there were some minor stains that she just couldn't help but notice.

Stepping into the kitchen, she took a good look around it before whipping out a sprayer and a cloth.

She then ran around the kitchen, spraying whatever stains there were before scrubbing it away with the cloth. She felt a sweat fall down her head but she continued regardless.

 

Spray and wipe.

 

Spray and wipe.

 

Spray and wipe until it's done.

 

Finally, after 2 minutes, every stain in the kitchen had been cleaned, it looked as if it was good as new!

She let out a huff, admiring the clean work she did.

Before she suddenly felt her stomach rumble audibly, not to mention her mouth feeling a bit dry. She really put a lot of energy into that huh?

“Hooo boy, I wonder what the King of Hell has in stock!” Niffty exclaimed all giddy as she ran over to the fridge, grasping the handle with two of her arms before pulling.

As it opened, she took one good look inside to find….

 

A plate of Pancakes.

 

They seem to have been made not too long ago, the syrup on it still glistening with rich flavour, and top it all off with butter.

She eyed the plate of Pancakes, looking left, and then looking right just to see if she was alone.

Before she leapt in and grabbed the plate of Pancakes, skedaddling off alongside a glass of milk in another hand. “HEHEHEHEHHEHEH!!!!”

After a few seconds of running, she sat down on the floor next to a large bookshelf, drooling at the sight of the pancakes.

She would then grab it with her hands, before she began to eat, stuffing her face with pancakes, savouring its taste of wonders.

 

“NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!”

 

Picking up and licking the entire plate clean, she would wash it all down with a glass of milk, before pulling out a small clutch and gently wiping off any debris of pancakes on her face with a smile.

“Yummy yum yum! What an absolutely scrumptious mc-bumptious pancake!” Niffty exclaimed, as she suddenly noticed another bug skittering in the corner.

Turning her body to face the insect, she was about to lunge until….she felt a foreign energy beside her.

Her body rests, as she looks around in confusion, before lying her eyes on the bookshelf beside her.

It looked unremarkable, so unremarkable in fact it could've been some sinner's furniture. But something within her gut told her there's something more to it.

She reached her hand out, about to touch the frame of the bookshelf, until she felt something tugging the back of her shirt. Slowly, she was being dragged across the floor by some invisible force.

“Oh? Oh boy, free ride!” Niffty cheered, as suddenly the force that pulled her intensified, pulling her back from where she walked at an incredible speed. “WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!”

It took a few seconds before she found herself back in Lucifer's workshop, in the hands of Lucifer too.

“Telekinesis.” He said with a smug look, raising what seemed to be a small green energy orb the size of a golfball, before it was lowered into the pocket dimension.

 

….

 

“AWESOME! YAAAAAY!” Niffty cheered even more.

Lucifer for once, chuckled at Nifftys absurd behaviour. “Trust me, it'll get way more awesome from here.” He said, still with that smug look on his face.

“Welp, times almost up, let's get going Niffty.” Lucifer said as he opened his pocket dimension to place Niffty inside…

“Nu uh! No more pockets!” Niffty struggled in his grasp, but it was enough to stop him from advancing.

“Huh? Damn uh…you do know I want to keep you safe as much as I can right-?”

 

“I wanna ride you!” Niffty shouted.

 

….

 

“W-what?” Lucifer stumbled back a bit, thinking he didn't hear what he thought he heard.

“Carry me in your arms! Soar me through the skies! I WANNA FLY!” Niffty loudly exclaimed once more.

“Oh …oh I see, heh, for a second I thought you meant something else?” Lucifer sighed in relief.

“What something else?” She responded with a smile.

“Uhhhh Nothing! Nothing at all! But uh, sure, I'll do it.” Lucifer then rearranged his position to hold Niffty more tightly, it was as if he was holding someone's toddler in his hands.

Opening the window, he stepped on its frame as he prepared to take off.

“Hang on tight one eyes, hopefully you don't have to use your skin as a parachute!” He clutched her even tighter.

“Oooohhhh, I must try that out someday!” She giggled once more.

Unveiling his wings, he would leap off the window but flapping his 6 wings, taking off at high speeds once more.

“WEEEEEEEE!!!!!” She exclaimed excitingly, her eyes filled with joy as she watched the palace behind them slowly become smaller and smaller as they got further away.

“So….what shit from a butt do you think is gonna happen this time?” Lucifer asked Niffty.

“Oh? Hmmmm…. I'd say that everything explodes into a fiery explosion!”

"I think that one was already done, Niffs." Lucifer responded

“Fuck!” Niffty exclaimed in frustration as she began to think of another scenario that could happen.

“Oh! How about we teach bad boys a very valuable lesson!”

“Heh, Sure buddy.” Lucifer chuckled again.

 

---

 

Arriving at the battlefield the same as always, Lucifer would draw his fist back before throwing it forward, delivering a punch to Adam's face which sends him flying off the edge.

“FUCK YEAH!” Niffty cheered as Lucifer lightly settled her down.

“What the- Niffty?! What are you doing with my dad?” Charlie exclaimed in confusion, looking left to right.

“No worries Miss Charlie, I was riding him!” Niffty exclaimed with an innocent grin.

 

“WHAT-?!”

 

“SHHHHHH!!! She means that I was carrying her, definitely nothing else, Definitely.” Lucifer assured his daughter as he crossed his arms. “Oh….” Charlie felt a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the figure of Adam flew up from the edge of the roof, landing harshly on the structure with a mad face. “Oh, look who decided to show their face here!” Adam loudly exclaimed.

Lucifer stepped forward, shielding his daughter and the one-eyed gremlin from the menace that is The First Man. “Funny, coming from the guy who constantly hides behind his mask 24/7” He grinned.

“I'm more beautiful than you could ever be, Lucifraud!” Adam angrily exclaimed, clutching both of his hands as he did so.

“Yeah sure whatever, calm your dragons down with those insults.....hey is that Eve over there?” Lucifer pointed behind The First Man, causing him to turn his back.

(“Fell for the oldest trick in the book”) He thought to himself.

With Adam distracted, Lucifer would suddenly leap forward, drawing Paimon's sword from his pocket dimension, and positioning his sword for a jab.

“Ugh, Oh fucking course you lying scum- GRAAAAHHHHH!!!!” Adam turned to insult Lucifer before he was suddenly impaled in the gut by Lucifer's sword, golden blood spurting everywhere as it does.

Lucifer would fly up, bringing Adam with him before pulling the sword out. “See how you like ribs, Addy!” Lucifer would then continuously slash Adam's body with a barrage of Paimon's swords, ripping into his robes and flesh as Adam desperately tried to get away.

“GET OFF! AGH! GET OFF YOU BITCH!” Adam swung his arms around, firing holy lasers at the same thing as he desperately tried to hit Lucifer whenever he could, with Lucifer transforming into various animals to taunt his confusion before the sword would impale into Adam's back. Next he would spin around a few times before throwing him off his sword, making Adam crash into the ground.

Adam, still somehow strong enough to continue fighting, rises up from the dust cloud with his wings, in the distance, he could hear Niffty cheering at the display he just did.

“Dayum, You're still alive? Gotta give props to you on that on-” Suddenly, everything shifted.

With a mighty crack of thunder, a tear formed in the skies above Pentagram City. It was small and thin, but slowly, it began to widen, as a pair of claws forced the tear to widen. And from it, a gout of golden flames poured through, accompanied by the roar of a mighty beast.

Lucifer, immediately noticing and recognising the timeline divergence above them, immediately bolted back over to the roof of the hotel, landing beside Charlie and especially Niffty.

“OOOOHHH! LOOK AT THAT LOOK AT THAT! DO YOU SEE THAT CHARLIE?” Niffty excitingly pointed to the large tear above the sky, Charlie would nod in response. “Uh…yeah, looks…very intimidating.”

“Psshh, yeah, I wonder who's coming out tho? Godzilla?” Lucifer wondered if the giant atomic lizard from 1954 is gonna pop out and blow this place to smithereens.

“I know! It's gonna be one of the angels like the bad boy, uhuhuhu~!” Niffty bounced all giddy.

“Good guess! But uh, I don't think angels usually have claws that big-”

Suddenly, with a loud boom, the tear was wide open, as something large flew out of it. The being looked to have four legs although could probably stand bipedal, with golden and white scales that reflected the light around it. From his back stretched a pair of wings that sounded like thunder with each beat, followed by a long and thick tail that swerved in the wind, shattering nearby windows and knocking buildings over. At the front of its body, a long neck adorned it's form with a giant head capable of swallowing large tigers. And most of all, the eyes….the eyes aimed at Lucifer with pure ancient vengeance like all the others had.

Lucifer felt a bead of sweat fall down his head, as he realised that exactly that creature is…

 

“A DRAGON!?” Niffty, Charlie and Lucifer would yell in unison. For Niffty, seeing a dragon of that size was absolutely stunning, she wished she could ride that one! For Charlie, she never expected Heaven to have their own dragons, Razzle and Dazzle were the perfect dragons for her! And for Lucifer, he was surprised at the being, but also felt himself smiling at the stereotypical nature of these circumstances.

As the armies below gawked at the being above them, Lucifer would turn to see Adam flying up, slowly approaching the beast of a dragon. He considered throwing a fireball to knock him off course, but he was a bit curious to see how this would play out.

As the two got closed, Adam would then leap on to the dragons back as he cackled with excitement and delight.

"FUCK YES, WE ARE BACK IN THE GAME, BITCHES!!!” Adam shouted, before he covered his mouth to prevent coughing up blood from his injuries.

The dragon and his rider took to the skies with a single flap of his wings, the Exorcists taking to the skies alongside their General. All the while, the sinners stared in disbelief and fear.

"Heaven has a dragon!? Why don't we have a dragon!?!?" Angel Dust shouted, ignoring the presence of Razzle, who huffed in frustration at the perceived insult and flew straight at the heavenly dragon above.

Lucifer looked on in amusement, turning to look down at Niffty who looked with delight. “You think you could kill that thing eventually?” He grinned, and so did Niffty as they both heard another roar from it, possibly to scare Razzle off.

“I can do it today if you want!” She jumped up and down, pulling out her knife once more.

“Heh, well, perhaps next time, don't wanna get you killed in all of this.” He would grab Niffty by the back of her shirt once more, summoning his pocket dimension before lowering her into it.

“AWWWW NO FAIR!” Niffty whined for a bit before her head disappeared in the dimension within.

Lucifer cracked his knuckles and his neck, watching the sinners flee from the battlefield to avoid the dragon, even his daughter. I guess even she knows better.

 

Lucifer, with a defiant cackle, flew straight forward to the dragon and Adam, and so did they in kind.

 

The dragon would open his mouth, unleashing a large golden flame from his throat that threatened to burn his body to ashes as he heard the sinners below him scream in agony. However, he was able to evade the flames gnashing teeth, pulling out his sword before swinging it at the side of his neck.

The sword was only able to slightly cut his frame, but the shockwave result was able to knock the dragon off a bit. “YOU DON'T GET TO TOUCH HIM, LUCY!” Adam the rider angrily screamed, summoning his battle axe to prevent Lucifer from getting too close for comfort.

“No problem, don't wanna get my hands dirty, heh.” Lucifer would conjure a bunch of fire balls, some big and some small, before hurling all of them towards the two.

The dragon would swat away any of them that got close, the ones that did hit only annoying it further. While Adam on the other hand did his best to block and parry with his axe despite his current state.

All this however, was simply a distraction for Lucifer to turn himself into a dragon for a brief period due to the sheer size. Lucifer would charge forward, tackling the dragons and knocking Adam off of it as the two wrestled in the air.

Dragon Lucifer would gnaw and slash the dragon's body, and so did it in kind. The dragon would open its mouth to fire another barrage of golden flames, but Lucifer was able to intercept by tail whipping the dragon's stomach, sneezing it out before tail whipping again, sending it below.

Lucifer let out a chuckling snarl as it turned to face Adam, but he then found himself stabbed in the eye by Adam's axe, making him let out a roar that shook the foundations of hell as he swatted Adam away, immediately changing back to his normal form, clutching his eye.

“Agh….okay that definitely backfired- WOAH!” Lucifer narrowly dodged both a claw from the dragon and Adam's axe, flying around the two as he clashed with them with his sword.

“I got a big fucking dragon by my side, what do you got? NOTHING!” Adam shouted as he charged forward and slashed with his axe, knocking Lucifer into the dragon's range who would immediately unleash the golden flames onto him, making him scream as he fell to the ground below.

Even though he was in a tremendous amount of pain and agony, he grabbed his sleeve that was covered in the fire and quickly ripped it off in one go.

He would then summon the Pocket dimension. “NIFFTY, WATCH OUT OF THE FIRE- AAAAAHHH!” he warned Niffty in advance, tossing the still on fire clothing into the dimension and closing it up.

Turning around, he quickly blocked Adam's oncoming axe with his sword, pushing it upwards before slicing at his mid section, making him keel over therefore allowing him to dropkick Adam across the face and into the hotel.

Sensing the dragon behind him, he summoned a shield that the dragon rammed into, disorienting him a bit as Lucifer delivered an uppercut to its chin.

The dragon, enraged that Lucifer hasn't died yet, attempted to tail whip him across the field, but Lucifer would merely transform into a snake to duck underneath it. He would then turn around and attempt to slash at him with his claws, but Lucifer would just dodge once more, before raising his sword up high and bringing it down.

The sword was able to slash one of the dragon's fingers, forcing it to roar in pain as it swatted Lucifer away, but not before he grabbed it and tucked it into his Pocket Dimension.

(“Hah! That's two items I've preserved!”) He monologues to himself before he's suddenly hit in the back by a holy laser, finding himself confronting Adam once more.

“I AIN'T LETTING YOU HURT HIM NO LONGER!” Adam screamed in vengeance, charging forward as he brought his axe down, slicing one of Lucifer's arms off, causing him to scream.

“AOUGH!!!” Lucifer stumbled back, before his eyes would glow red, firing a pair of eye beams at The First Man who blocked it with his axe.

However, it was just another distraction, as Lucifer charged forward, knocking the axe away with his sword before stabbing it into his gut.

“GRAH!” The First Man stumbled back, raising his arm to fire a holy laser.

 

He never got the chance.

 

As Lucifer would reach into his pocket dimension, pulling out the Glaive.

 

…

 

Before jabbing it into Adam's heart.

 

Adam froze, as his body stopped functioning for a moment. With wide eyes, he looked down to see Lucifer's glaive, stabbed right into his heart, with Lucifer having an angry yet smug look.

Adam then turned to his steed, seeing that his eyes were widened too, probably stunned that his rider had just been impaled.

His eyes began to flutter, giving Nachash one last somber look, before he keeled over, dying in the process.

Lucifer pulled his sword and glaive out of him, putting them back in his pocket dimension. Even though he just killed who is essentially his arch nemesis, it felt weird, hell, even sad doing it, genuinely.

With a somber look, he also turned to the dragon, expecting to still see it in shock.

 

However, that wouldn't be the case.

 

The dragon rammed into his body, feeling every single part of his bones and flesh cracking and flying off his body. He was in pain, but he wasn't surprised.

The dragon would claw at his body, his arms, his heads, his organs, pieces of his head flying around snapping and breaking as the dragon unleashed his fury onto him.

The dragon would then raise his head into the sky, as Lucifer felt countless amounts of golden flame coursing through its body, he was gonna die here again.

 

Lucifer had nothing to say, there's no point in doing so in these circumstances.

 

The dragon would continue building up more and more energy.

 

 

Until….

 

 

*KABOOM!*

Chapter 13: Perplexe

Summary:

Lucifer gets stressed as multiple things don't go his way, first from Niffty, next from Adam, although at this point he should be expecting it

Lucifer awoke at his workshop, but not with surprise or even pain (although the feeling of fiery golden flames still lingers on in his body), instead he simply looked forward at the wall in front of him, with a face of mixed emotions.

He killed Adam….or at least, he thinks so. So many times that fate itself comes to save his ass, and the moment he does kill that son of a bitch in that loop, he doesn't know what to think. Perhaps it would've been more clearer if he wasn't in a purgatory-like realm.

With a small cough escaping his throat, he straightened his back up as he turned and took a few steps forward, taking a good glance around his room.

He shouldn't think too hard over it, after all, he's still got a long way to go.

Suddenly, his pocket dimension would manifest beside him as Niffty poked half of her body out. “Heeeyyyyy!!!! How's it going?” Niffty asked, one thing Lucifer noticed however is her burnt dress near her left leg, it wasn't too bad but it was definitely noticeable.

“Uhm….your dress looks a little…burnt there.” Lucifer pointed out, not answering Nifftys question.

“Really?” She tilted her head before looking down below, spotting the burnt spot on her dress. Her pupil would shrink to the size of a pin prick upon seeing such a condition as she fell to her knees.

 

*Inhale*

 

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

 

Niffty would let out the loudest scream that she could inconceivable make as a stream of tears fell down her eye, causing the room around them to shake ever so slightly, forcing Lucifer to cover his own ears as he watched window after window in his room crack from such a volume.

“Geez, calm down will you?!” Lucifer tried to shout out.

She continued.

“Fuck! It's just a dress, no need to be a drama queen about it!”

She continued regardless.

Lucifer felt his anger slowly rise as she clenched his fists harder on his ears.

 

This would go on for more than 10 seconds until…

 

“FUCKING HELL, WOULD YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP?!” Lucifer screamed out as he entered his demonic mode, his wings flaring and demonic fire emanating from his form which immediately shuts Niffty the hell up.

“IT'S JUST A DRESS, SO WHAT IF IT GETS BURNED?! GET OVER IT! BE GLAD HALF OF YOUR BODY DIDN'T GET BURNT TO A CRISP, OTHERWISE I'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF FINDING YOU AGAIN!!!”

As Lucifer huffed and puffed at the annoying brat, he took notice of her shivering state as she looked upon him with tearful eyes, most likely the combined fear of his form and the despair of her dress being ruined.

His face began to droop, releasing his outburst as he re-entered his base form once more, “S-shit uh….Look im- I'm sorry about that okay?” He walked over to the small maid, picking her up with his hands underneath her arm pits as if she were a cat.

Her mouth was trembling, almost as if she was about to burst out crying once more.

“I don't know how you manage to keep up such a batshit insane personality despite the circumstances we're in, but….” Lucifer looked at the floor, contemplating on what to say next.

 

*Sigh*

 

“I didn't mean to lash out like that, you understand right?” Lucifer asked as he tilted his head at Niffty.

By this point, her tears had long since subsided and her mouth was no longer trembling, but she still had a hint of sadness on her face.

“Y-yeah…I do.” She nodded.

Slowly, Lucifer would set her down on the floor, letting her feet clink comfortably. “Look, we'll get you a new dress later, okay? Just….let me work….and don't cause a ruckus!....please?” Lucifer smiled as he patted Niffty on the head, making her giggle with glee in return.

“You have my word!” The gremlin would stick her tongue out.

Lucifer forced out a small laugh, before walking over back to the small table, reaching into his Pocket Dimension and retrieving a golden flame burning on a piece of his sleeve and a celestial dragons toe claw.

He would raise his hand and cover the flaming sleeve in some orb in order to prevent the fire from either going out or spreading, before grabbing the dragon claw and inspecting its design.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the claw nail was covered in some various kinds of markings, not just any markings though….ones that he specifically remembers are from Eden all those years ago.

That definitely confirms Adam created that overgrown Komodo Dragon.

The scales on the claw were also noteworthy, glistening with angelic energy capable of tanking Paimon's sword and Lucifer's own claws, if he were able to replicate this material, it would most definitely protect his body from even the dragon's swipes.

Now onto the golden flames.

Admittedly, he's not that well versed on the fires of heaven even in his prime, besides the fact they're capable of nullifying demonic powers, and he doesn't really know what to do with it.

Pulling out Paimon's sword however, he took a glance at it, before turning to glance at the fire, before glancing back at his sword once more.

 

….

 

“Eh, might as well give a shot.” Lucifer said to himself as he placed the sword on the table and reached for a nearby spell book.

 

---

 

Niffty watched from afar as the Prince of Lies worked away at his table for the next incoming loop, who knew someone like Lucifer would have been interested in crafting like her?

Silently pulling out her knife and the Glaive that resided in the Pocket Dimension, she began to clean the golden blood off with a spare cloth.

 

….

 

“I don't know how you manage to keep up such a batshit insane personality despite the circumstances we're in, but….”

That sentence would replay in her mind constantly.

She doesn't really have an answer to that…

But maybe she'll have an answer to it later!

She yawned however, already growing bored of sitting in one spot for an extended period of time. Perhaps she could go around and clean this ugly palace like last time!

Standing up from the ground, she slowly tip-toed towards the door, careful not to step on any rubber ducks. Once she reached the frame, she glanced back at the still working hard Lucifer, before bolting into the hallways once more.

“Hehehehehehe!” She giggled to herself.

She did the usual, kill a spider and scare the rest of them off, clean the kitchen with all of her might, and find something to eat!

Although she wasn't particularly hungry today, she'll opt for a snack instead!

Opening the fridge, she found the pancake she ate before, but she chose to ignore it for now and instead look for other food inside.

There was nothing.

Shrugging, Niffty would open the freezer, maybe there would be stored sinner meat inside that she can eat!

There were only frozen pancakes.

Growing frustrated, she closed the freezer before taking a look around, spotting some cabinets before she skittled over to them.

Perhaps there's eggs, or even better, a cookie jar! Better yet, roaches to consume!

Opening the first cabinet, she was greeted with a few things

A bag of flour, a bottle of milk, a carton of eggs, and vegetable oil.

 

Wait a minute….

These are just ingredients for pancakes!

Slamming the cabinet door hard, she opened the next cabinet.

 

Flour, milk, eggs, vegetable oil.

 

Her frustration growing even more, she slammed it once more as she opened the 3rd to last cabinet.

 

Flour, milk, eggs, vegetable oil.

 

At this point, it almost felt like steam was about to erupt from her ears, as she opened the last cabinet in the row.

 

….

 

Flour, milk, eggs, vegetable oil.

“GRAH!!!” She slammed the cabinet door, the sound of it reverberating throughout the hallway, she almost feared it was gonna be taken off the hinges from her slamming.

“Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes….It's all pancakes!” She began to pace back and forth in the kitchen, internally wondering why Lucifer of all people would eat pancakes for who knows how long, was it to feed his ducks?

Then again, cannibals eat others quite often so she guessed pancakes aren't that much different, but once again she wasn't really craving for pancakes right now, which only fuelled her frustration.

“Ugh….maybe I'll bring this up to Lucifer.” Niffty said to herself as she wandered randomly in the hallways, passing by various paintings and old furniture.

As she passed by a bookshelf, she suddenly stopped her movement, that feeling again…in this exact spot. She turned to look at the seemingly ordinary bookshelf.

Once again, it looked like any old timey bookshelf, unremarkable and unimportant….too unimportant…

Reaching out, she firmly grasped the side of the bookshelf, feeling the old wood on her little fingers and palm.

Using her other hand, she reached out and grabbed one of the books, pulling it off the shelf and observing its cover. It simply read “BOOK.”

Opening, she found that there were indeed sentences written inside, but what stood out was it talked about random topics, sometimes changing it to the next page. The first page talked about deadly human sports, then the third page talked about babies.

Gently putting the book back in its original spot, she went to grab another one at the very top in the left. However, when she tries to pull it out, she found herself struggling.

“What the…?” She muttered to herself as she attempted to use all of her might to pull it out.

Suddenly, she heard a small clik as the bookshelf began to rattle, causing her to fall on to her back, winding her for a brief moment.

Looking forward, she saw the bookshelf slowly moving to the right as the books within it rattled. Did….did she just discover a secret room????

Once the bookshelf was far enough, it stopped in its track with yet another clik, revealing all that was behind it.

It was a big door, bigger than even Miss Charlie! It looked ancient, ancient as hell itself, and on top of that, it was covered in layers upon layers of chains that still looked pristine, and in the middle was a medium sized lock.

 

Yeah it was certainly sketchy alright.

 

Using her hands, she reached over and tried to pry the chains off the doors, as if her size and strength could do anything to its massive frame.

“Hnnnnggggg!!!!” Niffty pulled with all of her might, she may be too weak, but she'll find out what's behind this goddamn doo-

 

“WOAH!!”

 

Niffty yelped out in surprised as she was suddenly yanked back by an invisible force, her feet dragging in the air as her dress flapped from the momentum. One moment she was in the hallway, the next she was back in the workshop in Lucifer's hand.

“DO NOT TOUCH THAT!” Lucifer shouted, unveiling his demonic form. Although his voice screamed less of anger and more of concern.

Niffty stared at the Lord of Hell, not sure on what to say in this moment.

“O-okay…” she choked out as she gave a wavering smile.

Lucifer continued to stare at the maid with unknown emotions behind his eyes, before he let out a big sigh, returning to his original form but keeping his wings out.

Without another word, he would summon his Pocket Dimension, dropping Niffty into it before closing it up.

Cracking his neck, he turned to his table, laying on it were the golden flame, the dragons claw and Paimon's sword, which seemingly glowed brighter than previously before.

“Hopefully I didn't take too long.” He muttered to himself as he walked over.

First, he grabbed his precious sword, tucking it in his Pocket Dimension quickly, then he picked up the dragon claw, which had been fashioned with old ropes to be like a necklace, which he also tucked away quickly.

Then finally, he reached over to the orb that contained the golden flame, it's form glistening with glory as he opened to tuck it awa-

 

*BANG!!!!!*

 

---

 

Lucifer jolted in astonishment, as a large headache began invading his head.

“What the-?...what happened?!?” Lucifer looked around frantically, releasing that he had just been killed right before he could tuck away the golden flame.

 

…

 

“IMP….” He muttered to himself.

 

…

 

“GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!” Lucifer yelled in frustration as he kicked a pile of rubber ducks, he was too absorbed in his work to realise how much time had passed, and now not only did he get killed by those 3 imps again, he also lost the precious golden flame he was gonna continue preserving!

He ran around, trashing whatever he could while avoiding anything valuable to take his anger out.

Today was just not going his way.

“FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!” He yelled continuously as he punched his wall repeatedly, creating small craters on it as the room around his shook, causing various things to fall from their original spot.

He would continue to do this for a while, until the entire fall in front of him had collapsed, revealing another room behind it although he wasn't really interested right now.

He huffed and puffed, his demonic energy still glaring with anger.

“Why….WHY GOD DAMMIT WHY??!” He yelled into the air, uselessly hoping for some sort of answer.

 

…

 

But nobody came.

At that point, he had to simply let go. There's no point in getting angry over something you can simply retrieve at another time. His horns and wings went away, and all that remains was him.

 

A fool.

 

….

 

Whatever.

 

Turning to the window, he didn't bother opening it as he unveiled his wings once more, before flying straight through it, shattering pieces of glass and wall everywhere.

He needs to take his mind off things.

…

“Niffty? You still there?” He asked out loud, he knew Niffty could hear him even inside the Pocket Dimension.

“.....yeah?” Niffty said in a confused yet relieved voice.

“L-look, I….um…im-” Lucifer tried to stammer out, but Niffty beat him to the punch.

“I know, your sorry.” Niffty said bluntly and acceptingly.

“Okay….okay.” Lucifer accepted that, the two simply kept quiet as he continued to fly to the hotel.

 

....

 

It didn't take too long before arriving at the battlefield once more, socking Adam across the face so hard he went through the bill board and onto the other side.

“Dad! You arrived!” Charlie yelled in surprise and relief, her dad was here, that means he could turn the tides!

However, Lucifer didn't respond, instead opting to continue looking at the now flying Adam who was returning to their original spot.

“Okay seriously, how many freaks do I have to fight?!” Adam yelled out, landing on the roof as he glared at Lucifer.

“You think you can show up here and pretend your doing something good by saving your shit face daughter at the last minute? Puh-lease! I'll have you know that-”

“Shut up.” Lucifer stated ominously, not only shutting up Adam, but also everyone else that was on the ground.

Lucifer took a deep breath, before he spoke.

“Pray to Father that you won't be splattered on the ground, because I'm going to kill you.”

 

…

 

“WHA-!?"

 

*PUNCH!*

 

Adam felt his pace scream with pain as he was suddenly punched in the face, countless blood and teeth spluttering out of his mouth as he tried to regain his balance mid air.

“Nuh uh” Lucifer stated, before speeding beside him and drawing his Glaive, effortlessly cleaving Adam's right arm off, drawing out a scream from him.

“AGGGHHH! YOU BITCH-” Adam would then recieving a large gash on his chest from Paimon's sword., sputtering out even more golden blood as Lucifer finished it off with a slash to his neck, sending him crashing into the ground.

A few seconds pass by as Lucifer hovered over the decapitated form of Adam, Charlie and the rest of the Hotel crew gather around as Lute ran over to his deceased corpse.

“SIR! NO!” Lute screamed in anguish as she held the headless body of Adam, the battlefield staying silent as not even Lucifer gloated at the two.

 

It didn't take long for the Archtraitor to step forward.

 

“Step away from that body bitch, if you know what's best for you.” Lucifer ominously said, straight to point and intimidatingly? Is this Lucifer? Lute just stared at Lucifer with wide eyes….before she started laughing with glee. Everyone that was nearby was confused except for Lucifer, who simply continued staring down at Lute with a blank stare.

When Lute's laughter subsided, she looked at Lucifer with a contemptuous smirk. "You think that's it? You think Adam's finished?”

Lucifer took a few seconds to respond….until…

“No.” he stated bluntly.

Vaggie looked at him with astonishment. “W-what do you mean? He's very clearly decapitated, how is he not dead?!” she screamed, desperately pointing at the headless body.

“Well…I wasn't expecting that response.” Lute admitted, before her smile grew. “But just so you know…this Is only step one to something greater. What about two through ten, hm?”

Lucifer tilted his head, before he raised his hand to summon a holographic shield, blocking an incoming beam of angelic energy that was about to hit his face. The Hazbins being bewildered, turned to where the source came from.

They saw that Adams hand was raised up, and slowly but surely the rest of the body too. Once the body was on two legs, the neck began to ripple, before Adams head would regrow in it's original spot, a smug look adorning his face.

 

“Sup, Bitches!”

 

Vaggie looked even more astonished than when Lucifer admitted that Adam wasn't dead. “How?! How is this possible?!” She shouted, gripping her palms as she tried to find a rational answer in her mind.

“Fuck you, that's how.”

Lucifer releasing a huff from his throat, retrieved his sword once more before speeding forward, decapitating Adam with one slash. However, Adam's head would simply regrow, still having that smug grin, he gave a small chuckle.

"Try again, Lucy. I might actually feel that-”

Adam wasn't able to finish his sentence as Lucifer would speed towards him, slashing once more. Small cuts began to form around his body, as Adam exploded into small miniature pieces. This of course didn't bother The First Man as he regrew once more.

“Damn, eager today are we?” He mocked.

Lucifer felt a tick on his head, he considered attacking again, but he knew that he's just gonna continue regenerating and regenerating until he gets tired, so he tucked away his sword and turned to face Adam. “I'll admit Adam, I wasn't expecting this kind of ass pull from you.”

Adam simply chuckled. “Oh please, you haven't seen a fraction of it. Now tell me Lucifraud.” He spread his arms out. "Just how badly do you think the Fall fucked with my soul?”

Lucifer blinked in confusion, scratching his head as he tries to come up with an answer. “Uh…I don't know, how muc-”

“Your really slow aren't ya?....Pretty fucking badly, Lucy.” Adam stepped forward. “Even after arriving at the Pearly Gates, and being greeted by Sera, Abel standing right beside her, I still felt the effects of the Fall. Every human soul that came after Eve and I never knew what it was like to be human before the Fall, so none of them knew just what they had lost. But we did, and we felt more out of place in Heaven than we did fighting off Primordial Beasts after leaving the Gar-”

“You mean dinosaurs?” Lucifer asked Adam, tilting his head.

“Uhm….yeah?” Adam asked confusingly, why is Lucy focusing on this?

“Why you calling them that then? Just call them dinosaurs bro.” Lucifer smugly said as he spreads his arms.

Adam felt annoyed. “Okay so??? I call them Primordial Beasts, so they're called Primordial Beasts!”

“No they're called dinosaurs Adam, don't you know? Your descendants call them that on earth now.” Lucifer stepped forward.

“I named those bitches first, therefore they're called PRIMORDIAL BEASTS!” Adam shouted, he was really getting on his nerves.

“Ehhhhh, I prefer dinosaurs, just rolls off the tongue better, ya know?”

“OH MY-!” inhale.

 

exhale.

 

“How about you shut the fuck up and let me do the talking, Lucy.” Adam deadpanned.

“Sure, I'm all ears” Lucifer shrugged.

“Hmph….” Adam narrowed his eyes, before sighing once more. "Lucky for us, your siblings weren't self-obsessed fuckups like you, so they resolved to help us. And wouldn't you know it! After centuries of patience and effort, they succeeded. The effects of the Fall were finally overcome, with Eve and I becoming the higher beings God had always intended for humans to become.”

“If Father always intended on you having regenerative abilities, your better off just going inside a superhero comic, better yet some guys fan fiction.”

Adam simply laughed. “Oh don't worry Lucy, regeneration isn't my only prowess now. I'll keep growing, and I'll only continue to grow as time passes. I've only been restraining my powers due to some…. euphoric side effects regarding angels….”

Vaggie was losing her patience. "That still doesn't explain why the angelic steel didn't kill you!” She assumed Lucifer was wielding some angelic weaponry, which he guess is kinda right.

Adam only looked at her confusingly, before he cackled once more. “HAHAHAH! OH BOY! DID YOU REALLY THINK THOSE WEAPONS YOU ALL HAVE ARE ACTUALLY ANGELIC STEEL?!”

Vaggie stammered, trying to come up with an explanation. “W-well why wouldn't they be? They come directly from you!” She pointed an accusing finger at the First Man.

"Mmhmm. Tell me, something, in all those years you were with the Exorcists, all those training sessions we had, all that camaraderie you threw away because you decided to spare a pedophile sinner, did you get the impression I'd just ignore the girls leaving their weapons behind if they posed a legitimate threat to us?”

If Lucifer felt something, he didn't show it, although that does pull up a possibility. Have the angelic weapons they've been using this whole time really actually made of angelic steel, or are they something else?

“Let me guess, angelic steel kills anyone that tries to wield it while whatever doohickey your using doesn't?” Lucifer questioned.

 

…

 

“Uhm….yeah. The only one that can destroy souls is God, and he ain't the type the do that, while some Archfiends could absorb fallen sinners and hellborns souls.” Adam said admittingly.

Archfiend....that brought a familiar memory. “I figured. Well anyways, are you gonna get to the point or not?” He was starting to get a bit impatient.

“Hmph, fine then! If you insist on ending your life early…” Adam said annoyed, before flying into the air. Everyone besides the Exorcist felt a chill go down their spind as Adam would then utter the following words.

"When Darkness rises, To consume the Light, The Angels descend, To break Hell's might! Release restraint level... ZERO.”

In an instant, everyone and everything went into chaos. Every soul could sense it, a feeling of great dread, the source of which was the First Man, who stood tall and defiant even as the masses below sprung into action. Lucifer however simply stood there, squinting his eyes a bit from the blinding light, ignoring the war around him as Cannibals fired upon the First Man.

The Exorcist were also singing in the air as Adam unleashes his full power, however that was quickly taken cared of by Lucifer's slash.

As the blinding light dimmed, Lucifer got a better look at Adam's new form. A symbol on Adam's chest. Glowing through the robes, he noticed a sigil composed of two circles, a pentagram, two heptagons, and one heptagram. Taking into the air, he swapped Paimon's sword pit for the Glaive just in case.

The sigil glowed brightly once more, blinding Lucifer slightly as Adam dissolved into a massive of golden liquid.

And then, a pillar of light shot out from the giant mass, enveloping the hills as everyone began to fall back, even Lucifer had to himself. A few seconds would pass before a massive golden tidal wave would erupt from the pillar. Enveloping any unlucky sinner of cannibal that wasn't able to get out in time.

Lucifer noticed something interesting however, whenever a sinner would get swallowed by the wave, hands would burst out and grab ahold of their legs, dragging them in. This wasn't any ordinary tidal wave….this was a tidal wave of entire souls!

That would mean that there are not only millions, but billions within his ocean!

He would've continued starting in awe, but he quickly shook himself out of it. He recently lost his previous sample, so why not go for a second?

Summoning a jar, he would gently fly down closely to the mass, multiple hands already reaching out to grab him. “BEGONE!” Lucifer shouted, sending the arms back in before he slowly got closer…

Ready….

Steady….

And…

BAM!

Quickly scooping a jar-full of golden mass, he took one good peak inside as it squirmed around. This will be useful later.

Turning to the pillar, it would eventually dissipate, revealing Adam hovering in the air, nude, broaded shoulders and most of all, a golden sigil on his chest and two golden eyes that blinded Lucifer for a split second. The next change, was the sprouting of twelve wings from his back!

“Father damn…” Lucifer stared in both unamusement and awe, he's already seen a buff Adam before, he can see one again.

Adam simply smirked as Lucifer continued staring. "Now you see the full extent of your failure.”

Ouch, he didn't have to hit that spot.

Lucifer narrowed his eyes, drawing his Glaive. “Oh I'll show you a failure.” He then sped forward at full speed, slashing at Adam. But instead of hitting Adam, he hit nothing instead.

“What the-” He would suddenly receive an uppercut, knocking out multiple teeth from his mouth as he quickly shoved his Glaive back into his Pocket Dimension.

“Ugh….What just happene-” he felt himself stopping mid air as it felt like a boot was planted on his back, followed by a pair of hands grabbing his wings.

"It ends now, Lucifer.”

Adam would pull, ripping all of Lucifer's wings in one go. Lucifer let out a small hiss as he plummeted into the golden mass below, quickly rising to his feet.

Already, he felt the sensation of hands grabbing ahold of his legs, preventing his body from moving. Looking down, he spotted some familiar faces.

“Holy shit.” All he could say, below him the army generals of….a certain someone's army, he remembered them all these years later. Typhon, Echidna and Orochi grasped at his legs.

"Your generals from your invasions of Earth. They haven't forgotten how you promised them the world when my children were enslaved or extinct. They demand retribution for another of your broken promises.”

“The fuck you talking about Ad- Hey! Knock it off!” Lucifer struggled as the three generals slowly but surely drag him into the mass, followed by hundreds upon hundreds of other souls that sped up the process. Lucifer knew this was his date, as he looked up once more with an annoyed yet defiant face, as Adams two pairs ofgolden eyes stare down upon him before he was enveloped into the glorious mass.

Chapter 14: New Friend?

Summary:

Lucifer and Niffty talk to their new guest, a soul trapped in a jar from a previous loop.

Oh, and on top of that, he learns that Adam has more than one mother today.

Everything looked and felt like pitch blackness. In those few seconds, Lucifer wasn't sure if he was dead or not, he could still feel the overwhelming holy energy seeping through every crevice of his body. He wondered if Niffty was doing alright.

 

…

 

Oh wait.

 

“GRAH!”

 

Lucifer shouted as he jolted up from his table, once again letting out a bad hiss as he accidentally hit the back of his head against a wall, rubbing it to ease it as much as possible.

After a small recovery, he took one good look around his surroundings, realising he's back in his workshop AKA his safe space.

He took one big sigh in relief, he was worried he was gonna be buried underneath a heavy layer of holy energy for the rest of his life, but he supposed fate had different plans for him.

Resting his legs on a chair, he thought back to the previous loop that he was in before.

“How…how does it know?....” Lucifer wondered, for a majority of these runs, a majority of them usually had completely different histories to fit whatever narrative that activated that would result in his demise. Sure there was Micheal, Abaddon and of course Adam, but they're already popular regardless, it was expected.

But Typhon, Echidna and Orochi? He hasn't seen those faces in such a long time, sure they were…under someone else's rule but they still answered to him. But they were old news, the previous run somehow incorporating these three doofusses is…he doesn't know what to say.

….But it's in the past, there's no point in dwelling back in the memory lane at this point in tim-

“HEY!” Niffty loudly exclaimed as she independently emerged from the pocket dimension, seriously how is she able to do that? He's the one who has control over it!

Lucifer flinched a bit, growing used to Nifftys antics but not fully as of now, besides, who knows what less this psycho Cyclops has up her dress.

“How's it going?...” Lucifer said blankly, still very much deep in thought about a few things.

“Very very well! I was getting accustomed to our new guest in the void!” Niffty exclaimed as she clasped her hands together as if she was some school girl.

“Guest?....What do you mean?” The Lord of Pride asked intriguingly.

“Ya know, that jar you threw in a few minutes ago! He has been very pleasant to talk to! His threats make it all the more better!” She would grin happily.

“....Oh….right, that jar….” He scratched his head a bit due to awkwardness. “Well, he doesn't seem so bad! so how's about we get a proper introduction with him, eh?” Lucifer grinned in return.

“Yippee! New friend, new friend!” She bounced up and down at the news.

Lucifer would summon his pocket dimension as he reached inside, rummaging around for a bit before he pulled out the jar. It glowed with intense brightness as The Lord of Pride felt the holy energy emanating through the glass.

“Wo-how! This surely is one of a kind, huh Niffty-”

“FUCK YOU, YOU ABHORRENT DUCK FUCKER. ILL FUCKING SKIN YOU ALIVE, MELT YOU DOWN AND MAKE A NECKLACE OUT OF YOUR THROAT!!!” The jar would rattle with intense profanity, resulting in Lucifer almost losing his grip on the jar while Niffty simply looked at the jar with glee.

“Hot damn, guess you weren't lying about the threats.” Lucifer whistled as he set the jar down on his table, making sure that whoever was inside didn't try to nudge themselves off of it.

As Lucifer crouched down at the jars level, Niffty would crawl over his shoulder, eager to hear more conversations.

 

…

 

“Uh….Hey ther-”

“DIE!!!!!!”

“My name's Lucifer-”

“I HOPE YOU DIE!!!!!”

“-Morningstar, and i-”

“FUCK YOU!!!”

“....Can you calm the fuck dow-”

“ILL PISS ON YOUR GRAVE!!!!”

Lucifer was considering throwing this annoying as fuck jar out of the window and call it a day, but the look on Nifftys face suggested otherwise.

“Alright, just let it out-”

“EAT SHIT!”

For the next few minutes, the soul in the jar would continue to spout constant profanity and threats as Lucifer just sat there with a blank face, although Niffty would occasionally giggle at a threat she considered creative.

It didn't take long for the soul to start losing his breath, deep heavy panting can be heard from within due to the loud and quick shouting directed at the two. Lucifer decided to make his move.

“....Ya done?” He tilted his head, expecting to hear another barrage of threats and insults about his mother even though he never really had one.

More and more breathless pants can be heard not too far, as the soul slowly but surely regains their senses….

“....yeah….I guess I'm done….for now. Still, fuck you tho.” The soul ended with a small growl that any normal demon could hear.

“No need to be ominous with me, I already had to endure a bunch of weird shit happening for the next few hours. Now tell me…” Lucifer then slowly reaches over and grabs the jar, pulling it to his face.

“What's your name?” He asked bluntly.

 

….

 

“What?” The soul questioned the rationalisation of these two.

“Your name, you got one right? Surely you remember that kind of shit.” Lucifer crossed his arms.

A deafening silence is all they heard as they kindly awaited for the soul to respond.

 

….

 

“My…my name is David.” The soul names David reluctantly said.

 

“Sup David, as you know, I'm Lucifer Morningstar. I mean, who else would I be? Heheh....” Lucifer jokingly said as he coughed a bit to clear his throat. “....Well Anyways, mind telling me about yourself David?”

“I ain't telling you shit, Prince of Lies.” Davie responded a bit aggressively but not as aggressive as before.

“Oh c'mon, I'm just asking, you think I'm gonna offer you a shady deal that has you shove a steel bar up your ass?” He jokingly said once more.

“That sounds really painful!” Niffty butted in with a wide grin.

 

“Shut up.”

 

“Awwwww :(“ Niffty pouted.

 

Lucifer turned to look at the jar once more. "Well?"

“I still ain't telling you shit, Luce. In fact, you made a horrible mistake bringing me here!” David cackled ever so slightly, resulting in Lucifer tilting his head. “What do you mean by that?”

“Don't you know? I am within the very essence of Lord Adam himself! You think just because I'm separated from the rest of the others makes me completely vulnerable? Think again! I can alert Lord Adam of where I am and where you are, and this time, you'll be fucked for real for real!”

“Do it then.” Lucifer retorted.

“Oh I'll fucking do it”

“Go ahead.”

“Oh I'm doing it!”

“Be quick about it.”

“I'm doing it right now!”

 

…..

 

“You had any luck?”

 

…..

 

“Where….where is he?....” David asked worryingly as he seemingly tried to search for Adam's source throughout the Pride Ring he believed had just occurred not even a few minutes ago.

“I'm assuming no luck huh?” Lucifer smirked at his disturbing realization.

“What did you do…WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM??!!” David screamed out, rattling the jar which thankfully didn't fall off the table.

“Don't go accusing me now, I promise I didn't do anything! Alright?” Lucifer raised his arms in defence. “Although, I do know what exactly happened…..if you are willing to hear me out.”

“Hear him out! Hear him out!” Niffty cheered in the background.

There was a few seconds of silence….

“Fine….lay it on me buddy.” David said.

“Alright, I just want you to bear with me here since this may sound…. ridiculous for you.” Lucifer admitted.

“Anything that comes out of your mouth is ridiculous anyways, just be quick about it.”

 

….

 

“We're in a time loop.”

 

….

 

“....What?...”

 

“We're in a time loop, that's what I'm telling you.”

 

….

 

“Okay, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.”

 

“But you said anything he says is ridiculous!” Niffty blurted out.

“I know but-.....I want proof, proof that this is a time loop.” David demanded, his voice seeming growing with aggression by the second.

“Sure sure, say, how about we go watch some TV for a bit.” Lucifer smirked as he picked up David.

“....YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! I KNEW YOU WERE LYING, WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE I WILL-”

 

“Look.” Lucifer said ominously, turning the jar to face the TV.

 

Displaying on the TV, was a news report featuring Katie Killjoy and Tom Trench live reporting an attack on the Hazbin Hotel…..where….Adam is.

“No…..no no no….it-it can't be…he…he wouldn't let this happen!” David yelled out in denial, trying to find some sort of explanation for this phenomena.

“I'm afraid it's the truth, you, me and Niffty over there-”

“Hi!!!” Niffty waved with glee.

“Are all stuck in this sick purgatory-like realm where I'm pretty much destined to die. The only difference being I'm the only one who remembers after death while all of you….most likely wouldn't.” Lucifer admitted.

 

….

 

“How….how did this happen?...” David questioned in disbelief. “I thought….when I was killed by Adam, I thought I saw the truth, that I was truly free from that wretched place…..but now….I don't know what to think, what to believe….”

Lucifer and Niffty exchanged awkward glances at each other as they let David absorb this earth shattering information.

“...Yeah, it sucks, but hey! At least you know, right? Otherwise you would've remained as just another afterthought.” He tried to lighten up the mood.

 

“...this is your fault” David muttered under his breath.

 

“Excuse me? I didn't catch that-”

“I KNOW THIS IS YOUR DOING, PRINCE OF LIES! I KNOW YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING THAT RESULTED IN THIS!” David shouted so loud, the jar he was sin fell on to its side and began rolling, although Lucifer quickly placed it right back up.

“What the fuck are you talking about? I didn't do anything! At least as far as I can remember.” He tried to recall anything he did as he placed his hand on his chin.

“YOU KNOW VERY WELL WHAT YOU DID! WHAT YOU DID TO EDEN? EVE? THE REST OF CREATION?!”

 

"Well...I....I-..." Lucifer closed his eyes, attempting to ignore the soul's ramblings.

 

“MAYBE THE REASON YOUR HERE IS BECAUSE SOMEONE FINALLY GOT TIRED OF YOU AND WANTED TO TEACH YOU A LESSON, BUT INSTEAD OF YOU ACCEPTING HUMILITY, YOU CONDEMN ME WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE THAT IM TRAPPED HERE WITH YOU!”

“WHY DOES IT MATTER?!” Lucifer shouted in his full demonic former, shaking the entire palace as he did.

“You can call me whatever the fuck you want, Lord of Pride, Prince of Lies, Duck Fucker, I don't care! But just so you know, if the very universe is gonna lie to our faces just to kill someone, THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF MY STATUS?!?!” Lucifer huffed as hellish fire spewed out around the place, he didn't want to deal with this, not now.

David remained silent, knowing full well not to continue pissing off Lucifer at this point, although he had just one question.

“What do you mean the universe lies to our faces?”

“Huh…oh yeah that….you see, whatever action I do, the narrative will shift its own fucking history to fit that narrative. You know what I mean” Lucifer picked up the jar and brought it close to his face.

“There's only two options you have at this point, either you join me and Niffty here so that we can possibly find a way to escape this forsakened realm, or you die, forget everything we talked about and continue being another drone that only exists to kill me. You have all the time to think.”

….

“Honestly doesn't sound like a bad idea-!” Niffty tried to say.

 

“Shut up.” Lucifer turned to look at Niffty with a. Disapproving look.

 

“Okay.” Niffty nodded with acceptance.

Lucifer turned to look back at David. Before taking a big sigh and dropping him into the Pocket Dimension to let him gather his own thoughts.

Looking at the time, he noticed he only has 6 minutes left, so there's pretty much no time to start documenting right now until the next loop.

“C'mon Niffty, We're doing the usual.” Lucifer said as Niffty hopped into the Pocket Dimension herself.

Unfurling his wings, Lucifer would fly out of his window, shattering the glass as he did.

 

“.... Hopefully he makes the right choice.” Lucifer muttered under his breath, still focused on his flying.

 

---

 

He did the usual rounds, he arrived at the battlefield, socked Adam across the face which usually sends him flying off the hotel and then reassuring his daughter.

He always wondered that, with enough training, perhaps he could even fit Charlie inside the pocket dimension and bring her along this crazy adventure, but he'll have to wait for that opportunity to arise.

“Fucking hell, it's always gotta be you huh?” Adam spouted with a hint of irritation in his voice as he crawled back up the roof. “Always showing up in my fucking hair to make things worse!”

Lucifer chuckled. “What can I say? It's pretty entertaining.” he shrugged ever so slightly.

“Oh entertaining huh? You think it's entertaining that you ruined my fucking life?!” Adam practically yelled to his face, Lucifer remained unfazed tho.

“Eh, who knows. Besides, you were always a bit of a Mama's boy anyways.” Lucifer smirked as he gave the mental image of Sera taking care of a baby sized Adam.

“OH ILL SHOW YOU A MAMAS BOY!” Adam raged as he brought his arm back before thrusting a hard punch towards Lucifer's face.

Unimpressed, Lucifer grabbed his fist, confusing Adam for a split second as he then twisted the rest of Adam's arm, a disgusting snap can be heard.

“GRAAAHHH!!!” Adam yelled in pain as he attempted to pull away, only for Lucifer to pull him closer and dropkick him straight in the face, sending him off the roof once more as Lucifer followed.

“What's wrong? Never hit someone smaller than your own size before?” Lucifer taunted as he dodged Adam's axe, then ducking underneath another swing as he transformed into a Gorilla and uppercuts Adam.

Adam gritted his teeth, headbutting Lucy as he aimed his one good arm, firing a barrage of Holy Lasers upon The Breaker of Eden.

Lucifer, of course, dodged these with ease, even going as far as parrying one back at Adam, causing him to yelp in pain before charging forward and tail whipping Adam's side, sending him into one of the hotel's floors.

Noticing a glint, he charged up his eyes before firing a pair of red lasers from them, in which they collide with Adam's holy beam as well, causing a beam clash with one or the other trying to over them.

Eventually, the energy accumulating from the beam clash reached its limit, resulting in an explosion which knocked both Adam and Lucifer to the ground.

Leaving no time for recovery, Lucifer leapt onto Adam, pinning him to the ground as he sent off punch after punch at Adam's face, the fire engulfing his fist leaving burn marks. Adam tried to block with his arms but they were simply slapped aside.

Finishing this all off, he would bring his fist up, charging it with a godly amount of hell fire energy, as he took one good look at Adam's face before delivering it down upon him, creating a massive explosion which shook the whole area.

As the dust settled, a crater was formed from where Adam and Lucifer stood, with Lucifer reeling back as he observed Adam's current state, not exactly dead but definitely out of commission.

“Dad ….I think he's had enough.” Charlie said as she walked over to her father and placed her hand on his shoulder, giving him a sense of calm. “Yeah…I suppose your right Charchar.”

Speaking of which, shouldn't something be happening already? Where exactly is Sera now-

A great feeling overcame the denizens of Hell, and the Exorcists, as though a great weight had just been placed on their shoulders, while in his mind, Lucifer could hear a strange sound. It was the sound of metal being torn asunder, and the feeling of a monstrous beast being released from its prison. This…isn't what he expected but he'll take it regardless.

 

“WHAT THE FUCK?!!???!!”

 

Lucifer flinched as he heard that fluffy spider sinner shout out in shock and horror. Seeing that he was pointing at the sky, he turned to where he was pointing.

 

“....Holy shit.”

 

Turning his head, Lucifer felt his body froze as he stared in awe at what's above him. High above the Ring of Pride, a blanket of flesh had blotted out the sky. This terrifying mass of meat and blood writhed in the air, constantly moving, its appearance shifting as eyes, mouths, horns, claws, and teeth emerged from the mass, only to be swallowed whole the next moment. 

Taking a step back from the many eyes that were staring down upon him with rage he never thought was conceivable, Lucifer tried to make sense of what's going on above him. Is this supposed to happen? Is this another one of the purgatory's new tricks, because he's got him surprised now!

Turning around, he saw Adam slowly rising from the crater that was formed, taking a look at the sky before uttering one word.

 

“Mom?”

 

Lucifer widened his eyes, as did everyone else that were nearby on the battlefield, Mom? Really?

 

“Mom?!”

 

Adam yelled even louder, unfurling his wings as he slowly flew up in the air, all the while Lucifer watched baffled.

Suddenly, all eyes that were looking down upon Pride shifted to look at the flying Adam, all rage dissipating at his presence.

As Adam continued flying, the shifting mass began to form and twist, condensing into a ball as it descended towards Adams level. Touching the ground, the ball began to distort once more, growing and growing taller and twisting in ways that shouldn't be possible until what stood was a large mass of flesh around 50 feet tall. The flesh makes out a shape of a woman with large hips alongside a bosom of above average size.

Then, two arms emerged from the flesh, giving Adam a platform to land as he stared upon his so called “mother” with awe. For a brief moment, the head was like that of a six-eyed lion, before settling on a more human design, with four eyes closing and disappearing into the flesh. But the mane of torn flesh remained, stretching out behind her head.

"Mom... it is you," Adam whispered in disbelief. His “mother” simply smiled at him, her gentle eyes conveying the warmth of her love for her “son”.

"It's so good to see you again, my little Man." Her voice was feminine yet eerie, carrying with it the growl, roar, and chittering of a thousand species. Yet it spoke with softness for the First Man.

Lucifer continued staring up at the two, his awe mixing with confusion as to who the fuck came up with the idea of a mass of flesh being mother to Adam of all people, alongside overhearing them talking about wings or something.

 

He felt like he should know who this is, but his brain just doesn't have that kind of information yet.

 

“Dad….who is that?” Charlie asked her dad worryingly, that mass of flesh doesn't seem friendly.

“I have….no idea, but judging from her looks, she's most definitely some kind of Primordial demon.....or a deity of sorts, who knows.” Lucifer shrugged, it was the best guess he could come up with.

Vaggie huffed. "Great. So we don't have to just deal with that misogynistic piece of shit, we have to - RAAAGGHH!!!”

“VAGGIE?!?!” Charlie screamed in horror as she watched the former exorcist fall to the ground, writhing in agony as Lucifer looked on in surprise.

Quickly reaching his hand out purely out of instinct, he pulled Charlie away from Vaggie as she slowly but surely devolved in piles of flesh and bone. Writhing around as it then slowly began forming into…..he was not even sure how to describe this.

Once Vaggie finished forming into…whatever she is, she would roar into the air before lunging herself at the fluffy spider, biting and pecking into his flesh as Angel Dust screamed in pain before emptying his Tommy Gun on the creature, causing them to fall on their back.

“VAGGIE!” Charlie screamed even further as she tried to get out of her dad's grip, with Lucifer trying his best not to let go, watching the writhing beast growl in pain until it drew its last breath, its eyes growing glossy.

Letting Charlie go run over to Vaggie, Lucifer simply sighed as he turned to look up at the Flesh being and Adam, still having their conversation as he contemplated on what to do.

Then out of the blue, Niffty popped her head out of the Pocket Dimension, curious to see what happened. “Oh boy! I wonder who's the next offender for our escapad-”. Upon staring at the giant flesh being, her eye would widen and her iris would shrink as she stared in horror, not just blankly, but in horror at the incomprehensible flesh, her mouth quivering as a result.

Lucifer, realising Niffty just popped out, immediately shoved her back in. “Niffty, don't see this!” He yelled.

“See what? What's happening outside-?” He briefly heard David talking before he closed the Pocket Dimension up.

“Fuck….dammit.” Lucifer cursed himself, he doesn't know why.

"I know you are, Adam. But it's well past time for Mother to make things right.”

Lucifer heard the The Flesh God uttered, her words sinking into his heart as he realised what she meant, watching as the Exorcist alongside Adam retreated back to Heaven.

Lucifer thought about what he should say to this woman, before he felt an overwhelming presence upon him. He saw a thousand eyes materialize on the flesh body, her power spreading throughout the battlefield as every sinner except Charlie and himself collapsed to the ground, screaming in pain.

"Dad, what's going on!?" She cried out, scared and confused as her friends succumbed to the same fate that had befallen her girlfriend.

 

“Charlie, I think you should go.” Lucifer said bluntly.

 

“But-”

 

“I'm being serious, run as far away as you can and hide. Don't worry about me….don't worry.” He said sombrely, watching as his daughter turned and fled from the battlefield.

Narrowing his eyes, he turned to face the giant mass of flesh, unfurling his wings to reach her level.

“You! Speak your name, wretched beast!” Lucifer shouted, demanding the being to say her name.

The being instead looked at him with confusion. “Do you…truly not remember me, Lucifer?” Her voice uttered with confusion, but also anger from seemingly being forgotten by him.

“Uhm…. nope, care to remind me?” he lied, although he really didn't know who this was.

The shifting mass growled in anger, as a mouth formed.

“I am Yaldabaoth, The Mother of Flesh, The Ever Changing Mass, The Primordial, and soon to be, Harbinger of Death, specifically you.” Yaldabaoth said intimidatingly, clearing taking a chance to gloat at the oblivious fallen.

“Uhm, actually I think that names already taken, Abaddon probably and definitely Azrael, perhaps you should pick out a different nam- WOAH!” Lucifer narrowly dodged a fleshy tendril shooting out of Yaldabaoth's body, intending to impale him.

“Yahweh was always too forgiving, I shall not make the same mistake as him.”

 

“Oh boy.” He muttered.

 

Yaldabaoth would shift her form rapidly, knowing that he couldn't let her do her doing, he would fire his laser eyes at her, which were easily blocked by a flesh wall forming to protect her side.

She then stopped shifting, revealing her true glory. A titanic serpent, with the head and mane of a lion, a dozen horns protruding from her head, and a massive mouth filled with fangs dripping venom. All along her body, serpentine eyes opened, a massive pair of draconic wings extending from her sides, and at the end of her tail, a wicked-looking blade waited to slice Lucifer into bloody ribbons.

The beast would immediately lunge towards him, forcing him to fly back as he sent a barrage of Fireballs from his hands. He's got the small size advantage, but he knew it would only be a matter of time before he's killed regardless.

Yaldabaoth growled slightly as the fireballs impacted her, lunging forward once more as she brought down her claws, which miraculously Lucifer was able to weave in between the fingers, before reaching into his pocket dimension and retrieving Paimon's sword, slicing one of her fingers off.

She roared for a bit, although it was short lived as the finger regrew. She continued her rampage, biting and slashing as much as she could all the while Lucifer dodged, occasionally shooting fireballs or firing his laser eyes which would draw out a growl or roar depending on the damage.

“CEASE YOUR MOVEMENT, COWARD.” Yaldabaoth roared, the shockwave causing Lucifer to flinch for a second, which is all she needed.

Lucifer felt like his body exploded as he was then tail whipped by Yaldabaoth, sending him straight into the ground and causing a massive crater.

Growing, he stood up from the crater before yelping in surprise as she brought her maw down to consume him, in which he shape shifted into a snake and slithering the hell out the there.

Flying up, he would conjure the biggest fireball he can possibly make before throwing it at Yaldabaoth's head, creating an explosion that resulted in bits of her head flying off, causing her to roar. Lucifer would've probably said some quip, but he decided not to at the moment.

Regenerating, Yaldabaoth would shift her body one more as countless fleshy tendrils emerge from her chest, all of which were heading straight towards him.

Narrowing his eyes, Lucifer wielded his sword once more before charging towards the tendrils.

He would slice and dice any tendril that got too close, one tried to wrap out his legs? Nope! One tried to impale through his chest? Nope! One tried to strangle him? Nope!

Eventually, he fired another round of laser eyes, this time towards her exposed ribcage, causing an explosion which severed any tendrils coming from that area.

“GRAAAHHH! YOU INSUFFERABLE ANGEL, I WILL TEAR YOU TO YOUR VERY ATOMS!” Yaldabaoth roared out, clearly not happy at the fact that Lucifer has yet to die, not even get harmed.

 

“Try me.” Lucifer smirked, regaining some of his confidence back.

 

The battle would continue to rage on for another few minutes, Pentagram City by this point having been destroyed by their fighting plus monstrous beasts roaming around and picking off and stragglers.

“DIEEEE!!!!!” Yaldabaoth had enough, Lucifer has lived for long enough, she'll make sure this will end here and now!

Reeling her head back, she would spit out a large ball of venom right towards Lucifer, who was recovering from an attack. With little to no time, He conjured a shield to block it, and while it did prevent some of it, not all was blocked.

“AGH!” Lucifer screamed in pain as he felt the venom hit his arm and leg, the effects starting to happen as he witnessed both his arm and leg fall off from his body due to the venom.

He's still capable of going, but he's already reaching his limit.

Narrowly ducking underneath a tail whip from Yaldabaoth, he charged forward and unleashes a barrage of Slashes and Fireballs onto her form, causing her to roar even more.

"I ain't giving up that easily, Moldy Bath. Try harder!" Lucifer taunted as he dodged another tendril, slicing it in one go.

That must've really ticked her off, as she fired her own barrage, this time in the form of her venom. Lucifer quickly blocked, weaved and dodged the first round of venom. Then the second a she unleashed another large fireball. But by the third, he was hit by a stray venom to his back, corroding it beyond repair as it exposed his spine, by this point he's way too injured to continue fighting.

Closing his eyes, he tucked away his sword into the pocket dimension.

“Welp, it was a good run.”

A tendril grabbed a hold of his waist as he's brought to Yaldabaoth. He spread his arms out as he watched Yaldabaoth's maw descend upon him, ready to tear him apart as he accepts his fate.

“I'm coming back for you, Moldy Bath.” he said angrily as he used his one remaining arm to flip Yaldabaoth off.

 

 

*CRUNCH!*

Sorry for inactivity, was just busy with school alongside a lot of procrastinating, but hopefully more consistent releases can happen soon!

Chapter 15: Enemy of my Enemy

Summary:

Lucifer and David converse on what they should do, all the while Niffty does her Niffty things

Meanwhile, Lucifer would then meet someone that hasn't been seen for a long, long time.

Lucifer in all of his glory, woke up with an urge to puke. Immediately turning his head to the side, he expelled all of his contents from his stomach and out of his mouth to avoid dousing his workshop desk with undigested food despite knowing all of it will be reverted in the next loop.

“Blehghh, Fuck!!!” Lucifer cursed his breath in between spitting out whatever remained in his mouth.

Eventually, 2 minutes would go by as he adjusted his bowtie. “Haven't felt like that since forever….” He muttered under his breath.

Eyeing the green stain on the ground, he took a moment to take a deep breath as he walked over to a nearby window.

Even in the shit hole that is Pentagram City, there was always a moment in time where you can tell when it's morning, and from the looks of it, it is indeed morning. The ever so slight colour of orange grazes the sky above the pentagram, with the smell of industrial fog entering his nose but like, in a good way, like a factory worker entering his local factory on a good day.

He found himself smiling, for only a brief moment.

 

….

 

“Ah shit, Niffty.” He reminded himself as he went to summon his Pocket Dimension, reaching inside as he pulled Niffty out and gently set her down on the floor.

All the while Niffty continued to stand there unmoving, staring off into the space like she was frozen in ice.

Lucifer raised his eyebrow. “Uhm…You okay Niffs?” He confusingly asked, nudging her a bit with his hand.

“Hngh….” A sound emitted from her throat as it looked like she clenched her mouth closed.

“Hm, what was that?” He tilted his head, observing the little gremlins odd behaviour.

“HNGK!” Her mouth cheeks would expand, he knew exactly what is going to happen.

“Wait NO NO NO-!”

 

But it was too late.

 

“BLEEGGHHHHHHH!!!!!”

Niffty would proceed to empty the contents of her stomach not only on the floor, but on a nearby stack of rubber ducks as well, drenching nearly all of them in a mix of green and pink colours.

“God….Dammit….” Lucifer deadpanned, clenching his fist as he hopelessly wished he had only been fast enough to clear his ducks.

Taking a sigh, he would help Niffty by patting her back like a mother would to a baby, helping her expel more vomit.

“You okay?” Lucifer asked after a minute passed by.

 

…

 

“Yep! I'm doing just find!” Niffty jumped up as she gave a thumbs up to the Lord of Pride.

“Glad to hear, just give me a heads up okay?” He smirked.

“I promise, Mr. Lucifer! Don't worry, I will clean all of this up!” She asserted as she pulled out her usual cleaning utensils.

“Heh, alright then.” He shrugged, it at least gave her something to do. “Keep yourself busy while I go talk to our new friend of mine.”

“Oh oh! Is he gonna join us? I can't wait to show him my crown made from those pesky cockroaches!” Niffty asked with giddy in her voice.

Lucifer chuckled. “I’m sure he'll take a liking to it, now run along now.”

Niffty would nod as she immediately went to work with cleaning the the two vomit stains on the ground all the while Lucifer walked over to his other table.

Reaching into his pocket dimension once more, he would pull out the jar containing the golden liquid, setting it down with a clink as he stared at it.

 

….

 

“Sup.” Lucifer initiated first.

 

….

 

“Yo.” David would respond back after exactly 3 seconds, his voice sounding reserved yet still remained on edge.

“You seem a bit tense, mind explaining that?” Lucifer would tilt his head.

“Why do you think so, asshole? I just found out my new perspective was all just a facade, I'm pretty miffed about it.” David obviously explained.

“Well, are you glad you found out?”

“That's the thing….I don't know.”

“Hm…” Lucifer awkwardly glanced around, taking a few moments to think of what to say next as he watched Niffty intensely clean the floor and his precious ducks.

“So….What happened back there?” David asked.

“Hm?” Lucifer raised his eyebrow in response.

“You said something about “not seeing this” or whatever you said, what was that about?”

“Oh you know, the usual, beating the fuck out of Adam for a couple of seconds before something immediately barges in and kill me, and as you can expect, we're back at my castle.” He spread his arms to emphasize his point.

“So like a respawn point?”

“Um…sure i guess.” Lucifer shrugged.

 

….

 

“Have you made your choice?”

“What?”

“Your choice. Are you joining us on this fucked up adventure? Or are you just gonna sit it out?” Lucifer would remind David of what he said a loop ago.

“I don't know….Is it even worth it?”

“You tell me, I'm just saying, you have a chance to do something for once, think about it really.”

“Agh….this is so complicated! Why should I even-?!”

“You can get to beat up a dragon if you want.”

“Fuck it I'm in.” Lucifer felt as though he could feel the smirk of the soul in the jar.

“Hah! Well welcome aboard, David! Hopefully your experience wouldn't be too “jar-ring” Lucifer would make the most shittiest pun known to man as a shit eating grin would adorn his face.

“HAHAH! Honestly, that was a good one. Oh and speaking of jars COULD YOU LET ME OUT OF HERE?!” David would demand.

“Oh right right, my bad!” Lucifer would apologise as he went to open the lid of the jar before pouring the golden liquid onto the floor.

 

*GASP!*

 

“No more mess! NO MORE!” Niffty screamed as she picked duo her cleaning utensils once more to clean the golden liquid.

“Now calm down Niffty, just let David do his work.” He assured her, watching the golden liquid that is David wriggle around on the floor.

“C'mon….Cmon…” Lucifer would hear the small frustrations of David. Eventually though, things began to happen.

The liquid would slowly move up and begin forming into a humanoid like shape, growing slightly taller than him as it grew two pairs of arms.

Once the liquid finished forming into said humanoid shape, it would glow intensely bright, forcing Lucifer and Niffty to cover their eyes for a few seconds until the light dimmed down.

Standing in the room was David who seemed to wore two pairs of cyan coloured boots alongside a blue cape strapped around his neck. His skin is coloured gray with a few armour platings on his arms. The area where his stomach should be was instead replaced with a black jelly like substance, and within it was a spinal cord that connected his entire body. His head took a more avian form akin to the ones you'd see in the Ars Goetia, with a beak and bright yellow eyes alongside two boney horns. The most notable detail of all was the seemingly constant glow of yellow emanating from his body.

David would stretch his arms for a bit. “Man it feels so good to walk again after so long!” He said to himself before turning to face the pair and giving a friendly wave. “Heya.”

“Dayum, looking swaggy today are we? Nice to finally see you physically, David!” Lucifer said as he walked over to David and offered a handshake.

 

….

 

“Appreciate the compliment, but uh….I don't think I'll shake your hand, dude.”

“Ah right, my bad.” Lucifer admitted as he dusted his hands as he took a step back.

Niffty however, zoomed towards David with giddiness in her eyes, inspecting his form. “ohmygoshohmygoshOHMYGOSH!!! YOU LOOK SO DAZZLING!! So clean it shines off like metal, your body figure so sleek, I bet I can even stack donuts on-”

“Okay okay that's enough out of you, heh…” Lucifer exclaimed with a sweat as he patted Niffty on the head. “Oh by the way, this Is Fifty-”

“Niffty!” She corrected without hesitation, although she didn't seem to angry about it.

“Right, Niffty, my bad. Anyways, she actually belonged to my daughter's hotel, being the maid of course, just took her with me and now we're together.”

David raised an eyebrow with intrigue. “Wow, the princess opened a hotel? How much did I miss? What year is it right now?” 

Lucifer also raised an eyebrow in return. “Wait…it's uh….2024, how long ago were you killed?” he asked, tilting his head.

“That would be 5 years ago. Damn, time really flies huh?” David reminisces about his past.

“I'd agree with you but I'm technically an ageless being so…not really.” Lucifer shrugged.

 

“Oh fuck you…” David deadpanned.

 

“Love you too buddy!” Lucifer responded in kind as he chuckled.

“Ya know I ain't lying when I said I'd make a necklace out of your throat!” David retorted in an attempt to own the Lord of Pride.

“Heh, yeah sure, just make sure no one tries to do the same with your spine.” He pointed at the jelly-like substance's stomach.

“Ya know, speaking of which, how and why exactly are you a sinner? I'm kinda curious about that.” Lucifer inquired as he placed his hands on his hips.

“Well, first and foremost, I'm pretty sure I got split in half, resulting in my exposed spinal cord. As for why I'm here…well…..” David tried to answer the last part, although he seems to be having trouble.

“Fuck…fuck fuck….why can't I remember what I did?!” David began to panic, he clearly doesn't like the idea of having his mind altered by even the slightest degree.

“Well now that's just confusing….Best guess I could give is that version of Adam that held souls up his asshole removed your sins…both physically and mentally, although physically is kinda up for debate….” Lucifer simply shrugged, it is his best guess.

“Fuck…I've already had enough mind fuckery for today…” David sighed as he turned to sit down on a nearby chair, causing a loud squeak due to his weight, resulting in Niffty running over and adjusting said chair.

Checking the time, Lucifer found that 4 minutes have passed and now they're only down to 7 minutes.

Turning around, Lucifer walked over to where David was sitting, before reaching into his Pocket Dimension and handing his journal over to him.

“I suggest you read this quickly, we don't have much time before something tries to kill us.” David simply nodded without argue as he took the journal and began to read.

“Mr. Lucy!” Niffty called out.

 

“Yes Griffty?”

 

“I'm hungry!”

 

….

 

Lucifer stared for about, before it clicked in his head. “Oh yeah, completely forgot you folks have to eat to survive. I'm sure I've got some pancakes laying around in the fridge-”

 

“But I don't want pancakes!”

 

….

 

“Really? How can you deny such magnificent things that is pancakes!” Lucifer spouted with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

“There's too many! Also when are we gonna get my new dress?” Niffty inquired as she referred to her still burnt part of her skirt.

“Alright alright, I promise we'll go to the store and buy something's for you…..just….after this one loop, okay?” Lucifer assured her, laying his hand on her shoulder.

“Hmmm…Okay! Surely you won't be a bad boy like the others and immediately forget!” She stuck her tongue out as she then proceeded to climb onto Lucifer's back.

“Pinkie promise.”

 

….

 

“The fucking Doom Slayer appears????” David let out a sound of confusion at the words being displayed in the journal.

“Uhm….yeah, shit gets pretty weird for what kind of people show up to kick me in the nuts.” He responded as he walked over and took his journal back, stuffing it away in his pocket dimension.

“Yeah no kidding, I guess things are only gonna get weirder from here huh?.” David simply said as he stood up from his chair.

“I'd say for certain. By the way, can you like….fly? Since we’re pretty far away from my Charchars hotel.” Lucifer asked.

"I can turn into a liquid at any given moment, I'm sure I can get there in less time than you.” David boasted.

“Oh-ho then, it's on!” Lucifer smirked as he unfurled his wings and opened the window. David then reverted back to his golden liquid state, although he still retained his humanoid form as he grew a pair of wings from his back.

“On my mark!”

“One…”

“Two…”

….

“Three!”

“WEEEEEEE!” Niffty screamed out as Lucifer bolted out of the window, shattering it from the shockwave as David also followed, both already at odds at their flying speed, though Lucifer seemed calm.

“Told ya I can keep up.” David smirked.

 

….

 

“Hmph…You're too slow.” Lucifer responded with a shit eating grin before he flapped his wings once more, with enough force to create another shockwave, resulting in him breaking the sound barrier for a brief moment, leaving David far in the back.

 

“Fuck….”

 

---

 

It took a bit before David arrived at the hotel, landing on the roof as he observed Adam and Lucifer already engaging in a fight.

Turning his head, he spotted Niffty conversing with what he assumed to be Charlie Morningstar.

“Niffty, I think you should down there with the others instead of up here, it's dangerous.” Charlie attempted to persuade “Niffty” to go back down.

“No worries, Mr. Lucifer has personally promised that he will protect me until he buys a new skirt!” Niffty hopped up and down for a bit.

“What…what does that mea-”

“Oh, it's David! Hi David!” Niffty waved.

“Huh?” Charlie tilted her head as she turned to look behind her, spotting the newly arrived David standing there awkwardly. “Oh! Uhm…who are you?” She asked.

“Oh, uh….the names David, I'm just here to….ya know, watch all of this unfold.” David shrugged.

“Huh…And why exactly now?” She asked again.

“Look Princess, it's hard to explain, but I'll try to in the future-”

“COME ONE, JUST DIE ALREADY!!!!” Adam's scream could be heard throughout the battle field as the two continued going at each other's throats.

“You'll have to pray to Father for that one, if he's even still here at all.” Lucifer mocked as he spun around and threw jagged spikes at Adam. He was able to block some, but eventually three of them got through as they stabbed right through his mid section, followed up with Lucifer charging and kneeing him straight in the jaw, sending him to the ground on his back.

“Wow, that must've been, the second fastest time I've defeated you, and I used spikes for Father sake!” Lucifer boasted as he lightly kicked Adam in his side, drawing a groan from him.

Aiming his head up, he called out to those on the roof. “You all good up there?” He screamed out.

“I'm fine, Dad!” Charlie responded as she helped Vaggie up her feet.

“Never been more fine!” Niffty teased.

“Im here, sucks that I missed everything but oh well” David simply shrugged.

“Good to know.” Lucifer nodded as he took a look around the battlefield, then the sky, then back at the still groaning Adam.

 

…

 

“Why do they always take so lon- GRAHHHH!!!!”

From seemingly nowhere, a bolt of lightning cut across the skies of Pride and struck Lucifer in the chest. For the briefest second, the Sin of Pride felt the flesh on his torso cook as his blood was vaporized. The explosion of the lightning had his ears ringing as it blasted him to the other side of the field, leaving a large trail behind him as everyone stopped what they were doing to see what happened.

“DAD! NO!” Charlie screamed out for her father, as David stared in shock.

“That…was way too familiar.” He muttered under his breath.

Charlie, Niffty, David and the rest of Sinners and Exorcists turn their heads towards the sky as something flies gently to the ground.

He wore simple robes, and beyond the white beard on his face, had no distinct features she could make out. But there was something more to him than that... something that part of her soul screamed with joy at his arrival, but David with his newfound knowledge, only felt dread.

He wasn't a human, that much was obvious, despite the lack of wings. He certainly wasn't a sinner or a demon, but he wasn't an angel either. Yet still... he was something more than any of those things. Behind him, she could see floating in the air an army of angelic warriors, each wearing armour of shining silver plate, all armed with weapons of angelic steel.

David, decided to not waste more time in staring in awe at the being, immediately grabbed Niffty and bolted to where Lucifer landed.

Extending his hand, Lucifer would grab onto it, and for a brief moment, it felt as though their souls were interlinked…. before David simply pulled Lucifer to his feet. “You okay man?” He asked the Lord of Pride.

“Yeah…Couldn't have been better” he responded with much more sarcasm, though given what just happened, it was justifiable.

 

"I apologize for being late, my son.”

 

The trio turned to the battlefield once more, as the being stood in front of Adam, who in turn slowly got up.

“You never arrive late or early, pops. You always arrive exactly when you need to.” Adam responded with a smile.

 

….

 

“Okay yeah that's God.” David confirmed.

“W-what? That can't be him! He hasn't been seen for over a millennium, maybe even more!” Lucifer attempted to counter his claim, trying to rationalize this situation.

“Look, i don't know what kind of shit goes on in Heaven or Hell, but I'm fairly certain that is Capital G God, I mean just look at him!”

“All I see is the biggest of the bad boys-!”

“Not the time Niffty.” David stopped her.

Lucifer meanwhile, just clutched his head in confusion. “I don't get it, why would Father include himself into this purgatory realm that is supposed to be my suffering place? There must be a greater reason….”

“No idea, but I don't like it” David said as he watched “God” wave his hand around, and in turn, every injured or dead Exorcist revived immediately.

“What should we do?” Niffty inquired.

In that moment, the Pocket Dimensions would summon underneath her, sucking her in. “Sorry Niffts, cant risk you being out there…”

“Well, I guess it's just the two of us then. Let's reunite you with your Father, eh?” David would nudge Lucy with his elbow, drawing an annoyed look from him.

Lucifer then took a big sigh.

 

“Fine fine…”

 

The two began to walk to where Adam and “God” were conversing. Eventually, drawing both of their attention to them once they got close.

“Hey Father, long time no see eh?” Lucifer said as he crossed his arms.

“Ah, Lucifer, it's you. It's been a while hasn't it?” ‘God’ inquired.

“That's an understatement! You've been gone for far longer than usual! Since when did you decide to come back?” Lucifer angrily asked, clenching his fist in return.

“Do not be mistaken, Fallen Angel, I've always been here, watching-”

“No you weren't! I know for a fact you've been gone for a long, long time! And now you decide to come back? To what? To mock me?!” His anger is slowly rising, David decided to remain silent tho.

“You continuously deny my abilities, how far have you fallen, Lucifer?”

“Oh please, surely you can understand. I've been stuck here, in this exact scenario, repeating the same thing over and over again just to die at the end of it all! I know it's your doing, Father! Just admit it!” He pointed an accusing finger at him, huffing and puffing a bit.

 

…

 

“What are you talking about?”

A pin drop only Lucifer heard as his eyes widened.

“W-what?” He tilted his head with a slack jaw

“Have you gone mad, Lucifer? Accusing me of things that have never happened? You really are desperate….”

 

….

 

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN-?!” Lucifer tried to scream out before he felt a hand touch his shoulder.

“Ahem, excuse me my Lord but uh…..could you perhaps look into his memories so you could verify them?” David calmly asked as Adam and ‘God’ turned to look at him with confusion as well.

“....And who are you exactly?” Adam asked, crossing his arms as he did.

“Names David, but I'm sure you won't remember that.” David shrugged.

After a few seconds, the robed man would let a sigh. “Very well, I shall look into the fallen ones' memories.” He said before his pair of eyes would glow intensely. Lucifer felt an uncomfortable presence around him.

“What the fuck are you doing?!” Lucifer whispered.

“Just trust me on this one.” David whispered in kind, before straightening his back.

 

….

 

“He….he speaks the truth.” ‘God’ said in disbelief.

“W-wait, the Duck Fucker isn't actually fucking crazy????” Adam asked as his mouth gapped.

“I-....Yes.” God responded.

It was hard to notice but, for a very very brief moment, Lucifer could've sworn he saw a drip of sweat slowly running down his ‘Fathers’ forehead before it suddenly disappeared.

“So you aren't the one who put me in this forsakened scenario....but you can get me out right?” Lucifer desperately asked with a glimmer of hope.

‘Gods’ face would darken, his expression clearly showing one of frustration.

“Y-you can, right?”

 

….

 

“Father…..are you…are you-”

 

Suddenly, from out of the blue, his Father would proceed to aim his hand directly at the Lord of Pride, before a volley of lightning emerged from his finger tips. It was unlike anything creation has seen before, with its sheer brightness alone blinding anyone nearby as it travelled towards Lucifer.

Lucifer, realising that there is absolutely no way in hell he could dodge this, immediately summoned the Pocket Dimension behind David before shoving him inside with his back, gritting his teeth as the lightning grew closer and closer.

 

Until…..

 

*KABOOOMMM!!!*

 

“GRAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!”

 

 

…..

 

 

The King of Hell had been struck down by the Almighty.

Notes:

Fun fact about David - Originally he was just gonna be a one off character, but I decided I wanted to spice things sup a bit, so here you have David as he is now!
