A dark void surrounded Valor, nothing but darkness entered his sight. Was he dead again? No, he was merely dreaming.

"Where the hell am I?" The reincarnated soul searched his surroundings.

Where are we!? Michael grew in panic.

It seems we are in some kind of dream. Dom was quite intrigued.

"Why do I have a feeling I know who it is..."

"Oh, you better start gambling because your feeling is on point!" A loud cheery voice erupted behind Valor.

"Good lord..."

"You miss me? It's been a couple of thousand years, well... for you it has been a day, but for me, it's been over two thousand years!" The devil of pride himself showed his presence, it was god damn, Lucifer.

"You damn bastard! You turned me into an Imp!" Valor attempted to attack Lucifer.

"Hey, let us not get so violent right now!" Lucifer swiftly dodged despite his huge stature. "I know you have quite a history with my little guys, but-"

"There's no excuse for what you did!" The rageful Imp threw a flurry of punches, before catching Lucifer off guard and sucker punches him in the jaw.

"Ow, I would cry out of pity, but we are a bit low on time since this is a dream..." Lucifer corrects his stance and holds Valor by the shoulder.

"You remember how I told you to kill God?"

"Of course! It has not even been a week since you told me that!"

This devil is ridiculous!

"I am going to choose to ignore that, but anyway, I need you to kill more people, Valor!" Lucifer made a bold order to Valor.

"Kill more people? I already have to kill God, but now you want me to kill more people?!?" Valor found this ridiculous, might as well tell him to obliterate the universe while he's at it!

"I know, Valor, I am asking a lot of you, but as compensation, I will grant you some of my power!" The prideful devil conjured a mysterious energy Valor, Michael, or Dom had never seen before. It didn't last long before the energy was absorbed into Valor's body. "There your soul should be unsealed..."

"Huh? What did you do?"

"I undo the seal you conjured on your other selves."

"What! Why did you do that!" Valor didn't mind his alters that much, he had gotten used to them, but there was one alter he was afraid of and that seal Lucifer undid was supposed to imprison them.

"Oh don't worry! I made sure that one is caged up well! They shouldn't be able to break out!" Lucifer knew what Valor was worried about, but he wouldn't talk about it.

"You better of kept it locked because I don't care if I get riches or power beyond imagination, if that version of me ever gets out, I'll make sure to kill myself before it even has time to blink!" Valor was adamant about this, he would rather die than let this anomaly inside him see the light of day.

"I quite understand, Valor, even I saw the atrocities... so that is why I can not have there be a reason for you to kill yourself, you are the only one who can kill God!" Lucifer shined a smile at Valor. "Now deary boy, take a look at your hands!"

"What?" The Imp looked at his pale large hands, they had red tattoos carved in the bases of his fingers. "What do these mean?"

"Each symbol represents a personality in your body." Lucifer grabbed Valor's right index finger, it had an Imp shape tattoo on it. "This is an Imp, it symbolizes Valor within the demonic race culture, which I must say is very much like you! AHAHAHA!!!"
