The Cosmos' Journey (Obey Me! x OC)

Chapter 57: Gone, But Not Forgotten

Satan was eying them. "You really are stupid."

Asmo nodded in agreement. "Mmhm, totally stupid!"

Avalon rolled her eyes. "I'm about to kick you where the sun don't shine."

Ivy sighed. "Ava, have some restraint. You already German suplexed both Mammon and Levi. I'm starting to think you have a violence switch."

Levi nodded. "Yep, stupid. That's about the only way to describe it."

Mammon glared at them. "Hey, shut up! I'm tired of walkin' along, quietly listenin' to you guys tearing into me. Callin' me stupid and moronic and idiotic and a money-grubber. I mean, what the hell?!"

Beel blinked. "All we said was that you're stupid."

"That's not the point!"

Ivy rubbed her temples. "All of you are going to give me a migraine at this point."

Mammon kept talking. "I mean, what exactly is it about me that you think is so moronic, huh?! C'mon, let's hear it!"

Asmo crossed his arms. "What, exactly? I mean, like everything, really."

"WHAT?!"

Satan smiled in a teasing way. "In any event, I think we can safely say that out of all the plans you've ever come up with, this one is the most moronic."

Levi nodded. "Oh wow, yes. 100% agreed."

Mammon turned to the middle brother. "Okay, Satan! If you're gonna be so critical, let's hear what bright ideas you've got!"

Avalon turned to her twin. "How have you survived this long with them?"

Ivy gave her a blank look. "I have no idea how I haven't flat out died yet."

Mammon was still talking. "What would you do here, huh? Do you think Lucifer's just gonna come waltzin' outta his room after Lord Diavolo told him he's under house arrest? 'Course not, right? No way he would! So we gotta find a way to lure out Mr. Loyal-and-Obidient. If you've got a plan in mind that's even more awesome than mine, let's hear it!"

Satan looked dejected. "I don't."

"See, what'd I tell you? WHAT'D I TELL YOU?!"

Ivy rubbed her temples. "If he doesn't shut up, Imma bust my foot up his a**..."

Asmo stared at his older brother with amusement. "We know your plan is stupid, but we stupidly followed you down here because this stupid plan is our only option, you stupid Mammon!"

Mammon glared at him. "Hey, c'mon! You were just looking for a way to say stupid as many times as you could!"

Satan hummed. "Still, the idea of using the grimoire to get Lucifer to come out of his room is more than a little crazy."

Levi had a solemn look on his face. "It grants the power to control a demon whether or not you have a pact. And on top of that, humans can use it whereas demons can't. I mean, it's like something straight out of an anime, am I right?! I love it!"

Ivy turned to the group. "And that will get Lucifer to come out of his room?"

Asmo nodded. "Yeah, I'm guessing that should do the trick."

Satan decided to explain. "You see, to us demons, the grimoire is equivalent to a soul."

Mammon continued on with that. "So, if it ends up in the hands of a human, Lucifer will get so angry he'll totally lose it, just like last time. And you can bet he'll come straight down here!"
