-

All of the commotion stopped immediately. Heads turned towards the figure stood in the doorway.

"M-M/C..." Solomon whispered. His eyes were wide just like the human's.

"What's... What's happening?"

Lucifer was about to explain, however Simeon took charge. "It's nothing to worry about, really. These guys were just discussing some business."

"Business that involves screaming at each other?" M/C had a judgemental look on their face.

"Well, you see, it's complicated..."

"I gathered. Just please tell me what's going on. Solomon, why are you here?"

"I've come to take you back..." The sorcerer replied breathlessly. He wasn't quite sure how, but he was absolutely certain that he would take his best friend back to the human world.

Hope filled M/C's eyes as well as their voice. "Really?" They gasped, "You've come to take me home?"

Solomon nodded. "I have."

"I'm afraid that won't be happening - " Lucifer begun in a stern tone. However, Solomon immediately cut him off.

"No one asked for you to talk, Lucifer. Me and M/C were talking. I don't remember when you came into the conversation."

The demon brothers as well as the angels gasped and looked towards Lucifer due to Solomon's unexpected sass. No one interrupts or even dares to speak lowly upon Lucifer.

"What did you say to me?" Growled the eldest. Mammon was quick to rush in and attempt to calm his brother down.

"Hey now, Lucifer! It will do ya no good getting all angry and stuff, ya know? So let's just... Calm down and talk about this like adults - "

"Thank you, Mammon," Solomon glared, "But there is nothing to speak about. I've heard everything I need to know. I shall now take my leave."

"Please tell me what's going on..." M/C pleaded. They were so confused about this whole situation, it was making their head spin.

"We can't." Levi muttered sadly. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to inform M/C about this troublesome situation as it wasn't his place to say. If M/C wished to find out, then Solomon would have to feel comfortable telling them. However, by the looks of things, anger seemed to be blinding him.

"I'm leaving with M/C, Simeon and Luke right now."

The white haired male stormed over to M/C and carefully took ahold of their wrist. M/C felt warmth enclose around them immediately. They felt safe and protected.

Will they finally get to go home?

Of course not. Not with seven hungry, obsessed, love-sick demons in the house.

Just as the angels, Solomon and M/C were walking to the door, Asmodeus suddenly appeared in front of them - blocking the way.

"We'll have our human back, thank you very much." He glared.

M/C scowled. "I was never yours and I am not returning."

This comment emitted an amused cackle from Asmo. He uttered, "Oh, darling... You didn't think it was going to be this easy escaping us... Did you?"

Just then Simeon was dragged out of the way as Luke screamed. Solomon was thrown harshly across the hall and M/C was caged by someone.

"I'm so, so sorry... I really have no choice." It was Beelzebub who was caging them tightly.

Simeon caught his breath and rushed to check on Solomon who had slammed his whole body against a wall. It sounded extremely painful too which only worried the angel more.

Knowing this was going to go downhill and turn into a fight, M/C struggled and yelled, "Luke, run! Go!"

The little angel did just that. With worry flashing in his eyes, he prayed and prayed for there to be a more peaceful option to this as he ran out of dangers way.

"S-Solomon! Are you okay!?" Asked Simeon in panic as he helped the injured sorcerer stand up. Solomon just gritted his teeth as he felt blood drip down from his forehead.

"Y-Yes... I'm okay. We... Need to get M/C away from them!"

Simeon looked forward to see that the demons - who were in their demon form - were slowly enclosing around M/C as they struggled. Simeon's mind was running a million miles per hour.

"Simeon." Solomon whispered sharply.

"Y-Yes?" The angel spluttered.

"I've got a plan... But it does mean revealing to M/C that I have indeed made a pact with a demon."

Simeon nodded slowly. He had an idea of what Solomon was about to do. "Are you certain it will work though? He'd never betray his own brothers..."

"Who said he had to?" The sorcerer smirked, "He won't be in control. Me and my spells will."

Taking a deep breath, Solomon begun chanting the summoning spell.

"Hear me, denizens of darkness, you who are born of shadow and you who give birth to it.

Hear me and do as I command!

I, Solomon, call upon you to send forth one of your number!

I summon the avatar of lust, Asmodeus!"

In that moment, the mentioned demon appeared before Solomon's very eyes. The demon appeared to be extremely confused.

"Solomom? What, why - "

"Hush now, Asmo. Do as I say."

Asmodeus narrowed his eyes. He didn't even have time to think as he witnessed Solomon mutter some incoherent words, inhale sharply, and blast lightning at him.

The whole house fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.

"What did you just do - " Lucifer narrowed his eyes at Solomon. Asmodeus was currently lying on the floor.

"Did - Did you kill him!?" Belphegor panicked. His eyes grew wide and his face morphed into that of horror.

Solomon's lips twitched into a smirk. He watched intensely as Asmodeus slowly arose from the floor.

The sorcerer looked towards the menacing demons. He no longer felt any fear, any doubt.

He was going to take his best friend back to the human world and correct his mistakes.

And he was going to overpower the most powerful demon of them all, Lucifer. He would get his revenge for his beloved sister.

"No, I didn't kill him... But he's going to be a good boy and do as I say now."
