In the heart of the shadow - laden Underworld States, where darkness reigns and malevolent whispers dance through the Stygian air, sat the mighty emperor on his molten throne. With the aura of mightiness surrounding him, he summoned a Laistrygonian demon. "Yes, Shadow Sovereign, " the bronze demon approached the emperor with a bow. "Go with Phemus and a Cheshire army and track the blue girl down before she gets to Candana. Bring her and any other Apostle you find with you. Do not disappoint me, do you understand!? " The emperor ordered. "Yes, Shadow Sovereign. Your wish is my command, " the demon bowed once again. "Very well. You are dismissed, " the emperor held his scepter out to show approval. The bronze demon recruited with Phemus and the Cheshire army at once.
"They'd better capture her. All my hard work can't go to waste, " the emperor clenched his fists in frustration. "Maybe you should learn how to keep a cool head, Mephisto, " a voice said from behind the throne. The emperor, Mephistopheles, cautiously looked behind him only to meet the gaze of Lucifer, his twin brother. "What do you want, Lucifer? Can't you see I'm busy? " Mephisto asked with narrowed eyes.
"Oh, I just came to check up on my 'big bro' and see how far he's gone with his emperor duties. It seems you can do nothing but throw tantrums, " Lucifer shrugged playfully as his fingers traced the outline of the throne. "I don't need you updated on my every move... Hands off my throne! "Mephisto hissed. " Owww, come on! "Lucifer rolled his eyes, walking to the front of the throne. " What's your problem? "Mephisto sighed. " Now, that's what I've been waiting for you to ask... I came to submit myself to you, "Lucifer suddenly fell on his knees and bowed to the emperor.
" What do you think you're doing? Submission isn't a spell you should kid around with, "Mephisto said unbelievably. " I don't care, Mephisto. I want to help you carry out tasks. I want victory to be yours. I want to be your sidekick! Just give me a chance. I can do better than just teasing you. Trust me, "Lucifer said with a confident tone. " Give you a chance, you say... I guess that won't be bad. I really need a brainy accomplice here. My minions are just some bunch of dumb asses, "Mephisto held his chin. " Let's do the submission thing, then! "Lucifer said with excitement as the emperor rose from his throne. Lucifer got off his knees and met up with the emperor.
" Give me your hand, "Mephisto ordered. Lucifer held his hand out to Mephisto, which he took. Mephisto then brought out a small knife, made of the finest silver element of the Laistrygonian State. Taking a look at Lucifer, Mephisto begun to engrave his name onto Lucifer's fiery skin with the small knife (The Erion) .
" I , Lucifer Mean, pledge to submit myself to the great Shadow Sovereign for the rest of my unending life, "Lucifer recited, totally cool despite the fact that Mephisto was piercing his skin.
" I, The Shadow Sovereign, hereby accept Lucifer as my faithful minion, higher than my normal minions. As long as he remains faithful to me, I shall remain faithful to him in return, "the emperor swore in the name of his father, Zarkon. When Mephisto finished engraving his name on Lucifer's skin, Lucifer let the fiery mixture of fire and air fall to the ground...First, second and third drops. Mephisto then grabbed his scepter and pointed its orb towards Lucifer's supposed blood.
The fiery mixture seemed to come to life as it floated slowly towards the orb and were absorbed by it. With an evil grin, Mephisto shook hands with Lucifer. " Welcome to the club, Lucifer. "Lucifer grinned back in response. " When do I start? "he asked the emperor in excitement. " Right now, I guess I need to show you everything you need to know. Then you can start serving me, "Mephisto replied. " Okay, Mephisto... It really is an honor, "Lucifer bowed once again.
" You might be the emperor, but I have the potential of taking that away from you with ease. I'd love to do that but why embarrass my 'big bro'? I have no doubts. There'll always be another time. If things go as planned, you're done for it, "Lucifer smiled sheepishly to himself whiles thinking.

These guys never seem to disappoint...
