The Cosmos' Journey (Obey Me! x OC)

Chapter 27: Not Everyone Who Shares Your Goals is Your Ally

Zach and Ivy sat together while watching Mammon shout. "ASMODEUS...! YOU ROTTEN BASTARD...!"

Asmo was frustrated. "AAAAAH I can't take this anymore! I wish you'd just disappear! You can go burn in the fires of hell for all I care! If I could snap my fingers and send you there right now, I'd do it!"

Zach put headphones on Ivy's ears and connected it to his phone so she could listen to music. "I am not corrupting you."

Mammon was fed up with Asmo. "That's it! You shut that big fat mouth of yours RIGHT NOW, you $#&*! *#&$! *$&!! %#!"

Zach blinked. "Language!"

Asmo paid no attention to Zach. "Oh yeah! Well you're money-grubbing trash! A scumbag who'd sell his soul for a Grimm! The only thing that might make up for your awful existence is if you just ended it! Now!"

Mammon snarled. "Hey, that's no way to be talkin' to your older brother, now is it?! You'd best start showin' me some respect!"

"Respect?! What did YOU ever do to earn my respect?! I'm EMBARRASSED to have someone like you for an older brother! Mortified even!"

Ivy had taken out the headphones and heard what Asmo said. Zach just rubbed her back. Satan looked up from where he was. "All right you two, that's enough. Stop throwing pillows at each other. You're sending dust flying everywhere."

Levi sighed. "It's no use. They won't listen. It's like they don't even hear us."

Beel smiled. "The food here at the Demon Lord's Castle sure is something, huh? The shadow swine offal they served at dinner was amazing."

Ivy hummed. "At least mi padre got me human world food to eat. I don't know if that stuff is safe for me."

Zach sighed. "Mi hija, trust me when I say you would have either died or thrown up or been in a coma if you had eaten that."

Zach plugged up her ears again as Mammon continued. "$%#! %$#%! And... and also, you're a... um, a *&%#$!"

Asmo gave him a snarky grin. "Maybe it's time you learned some new WORDS, Mammon! Because your vocabulary is pathetically small! Just what I'd expect from the stupidest demon in the Devildom! You really set the bar for what stupid can be!"

"WHAT?! SAY THAT AGAIN! I DARE YA!"

Zach eyed the two as he kept the headphones on Ivy's ears. Levi was getting bored. "... How long are they going to keep going at each other like this? It's a total waste of time. They're getting nowhere, and it's driving me crazy."

Beel wasn't paying attention. "Mmm, I can't wait for breakfast tomorrow..."

Satan blinked. "What brought this on to begin with, anyway?"

Ivy had a small flashback upon hearing that.

-Flashback-

"All right, I'm going to go ahead and call this officers' meeting to order. To start things off, Lord Diavolo has an announcement for us." Lucifer said.

Diavolo nodded. "Yes. Well then, I assume that some of you have already heard the rumors about the group retreat. And they're true. I'm planning an exchange party between demons, angels, and humans to be held at my castle. I have a feeling this will turn out to be an interesting experience for all of us. Zach, of course, will be staying with Ivy to keep her out of danger."

Lucifer sighed. "Maybe for you, but for me it's simply going to mean more headaches."

"Now, now, don't say that, Lucifer."
