The divine Comedy: Lucifer's second act

Ch.48 Return

"come brother's"
"We have a god to slay"
Said Lucifer as he ripped a hole in space leading them into the void.
As they all took a step in they were pushed back by a strong save if energy.
Pushed back to a place far from Mount purgatory.
Pushed out of the realm of the unseen.
The ArchAngels looked at their surroundings suddenly shift.
There was war on earth....
Between the Angels and the Demons
A long awaited war between Heaven and Hell.

The group checked their surroundings to see that they were in a city.
The only bad thing was thatbtye angels and demons have breached the town and have began skirmishes all over.
"I know this place"
Said Lucifer
"It's My hometown"
He said as he looked around seeing the Demons defile the city with excessive collateral damage.
"Brothers,we have to eradicate all demons"

"Now that's something I would've never expected to hear from you Luce"
Said Gabriel
"You may recognise me as one of them.."
"But I still hold dear to my divine upbringing as an angel"
"I care not for filthy vermin like demons"
"Now what are we waiting for?"
Said Lucifer as everyone brought out their blades.
"You all take care of the demons"
"Make sure to protect the giant tower"
"And also make sure to stay safe and to protect the people of this city"
Said Lucifer as he flapped his wings.
"I'll be gone now"
"I'm trusting you Michael"

Lucifer flew straight to Valerius Manor, Free's childhood home.
He stood at the door reluctant to enter
Lucifer detransformed as he slowly opened the unlocked door.
"Well well well if it isn't the Messiah"
Said Azaline sarcastically.
"Who knew that our so called saviour would chicken out and come crawling back"
She continued provoking him.
Free was quite shocked by the welcome.
He expected a more friendly one but this would do for now

"What do you mean azaline"
He said looking around.
"Why is everyone in the living room"
"Why is my mother here"
"What's wrong with Cellinia"
Free said as he inspected the room
"Azaline answer me right this instant"
Azaline crossed her arms and turned her head.

"Mother l, where's father."
He asked
"I saw his car outside but whe-"
He was suddenly interrupted when his father came down.
"Well,hello there son"
"A little bird flew to my office window and told me that you ventured into Sheol alone"
"As a parent I was both worried and I'm astonished on how you made it here alive"
"In other words"
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING BOY YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN YOURSELF KILLED"
Said Richard before he cleared his Throat and sat down.

Free stood in silence.
Azaline stood up
"Mr Messiah"
She said
"You abandoned us"
"You left us there to die"
"I'm sure you and your selfish little angel didn't even think of bringing us here did you"
She said pushing her finger into his chest.
Free looked at her in shock
"Back off azaline"
Free lightly pushed her.

"I didn't leave you there"
"You're overreacting"
"Sheol is a dangerous place I just didn't want any of you to drop dead"
"I believe I made myself clear"
He turned around to find Cellinia behind him.
Her face looked like she had just finished a crying session.
Free couldn't interfere.
"Its dangerous to go outside"
"Angels and demons have waged war against each other"

"And what are we supposed to do"
Said Free's father
"Stay here,keep everyone safe"
"I'm going out"
"The demons have breached the city walls"
Before free left Cellinia held Free's arm and whispered.
"Even if the entire world was against you..."
"I'd still be by your side"
She spoke softly.
Free tried his best not to think to hard about it
"I might not be coming back"
He said before he Lucifer took control and left the building.

The centre of the city was crawling with demonic creatures left,right,and centre.
"Damnit"
"More than I expected"
"URIEL,GABRIEL"
"COVER ME"
Said Lucifer as he brought out his demonic rifle aiming it the flying monsters.
Every shot was loaded with the red hot rage he had towards the demons.
Incinerating them.
But alas this was only the sky,the city has skirmishes happening inside between the two forces.

"We might need to Call Metatron"
Said Michael.
"Not yet brother"
"We can do this"
The two fought off waves of demons.
"I thought you were a demon yourself?"
Said Uriel
"Like I said I take pride in my angelic side"
He said as he struck down demons using his flaming sword.
Then came an archdemon amidst the battle.
The archdemon Seebulon.
"Damnit"
Said Lucifer as he saw the great demon amidst the wave of ghouls.

"Michael"
"I'll take out the archdemon"
"You defend me from the other demons"
Ordered Lucifer.
The fight had to be quick as a darker more powerful entity was about to break through the walls.
The archdemon swung his flail destroying buildings and structures alike.
Lucifer channeled the astral fire in his blade
"Sheathed in the breath of the planet, a torrent of shining life. reverse the rising sun. Swallow the light,Feel its wrath"
"SIX-CALIBUR"
He shouted as he leaped and Cut the demon lord right through his centre.
Splitting him in half.

"Quite impressive brother"
Praised Michael
"Oh dear brother you don't wanna know the other power of this sword"
Lucifer said as a great power came crashing into the city.
None other than the demon lord himself.
The one that replaced Lucifer,
Mundus
"Now this is a Metatron level threat"
Said Lucifer
"Call him down Michael"
"I'm sure he'll enjoy this"
As Lucifer spoke a bright light descended
Taking form of an armour clad angel of faith.
"Well if it isn't Mike and Luce"
Said the angel
"So who is it?"

Lucifer pointed at mundus
"That guy over there Metatron"
The two great forces clashed in the city centre.
Knowing that the city had been mostly rid of demons.
Lucifer and the other archangels ventured into the void.
Lucifer cut a hole in reality as they all stepped in the dark abyss.

"Well"
"If it isn't Lucifer...."
Said a voice from the abyss
