Alastor X Reader: Blood For Freedom

71. Together

*** Your POV ***

Your eyes grew to dinner plate size as you saw your best friend and his lover step out of the purple portal. But your surprise only kept building as you saw Ozzie come behind the two of them, then followed by two other imps. One was a guy with white hair and dressed all prim and proper and the other was a black haired girl imp wearing a dark tank top and ripped jeans. 

"Stolas? What are you doing here?" You asked, turning your head but still not letting go of Alastor. 

"What? Did you think I would leave my favorite drinking buddy and her deer daddy to fight out here all alone?" Stolas crossed his arms looking almost genuinely insulted. 

"But this isn't your fight." As far as you knew, the hellborn treaty was put back in effect after the fight with Adam. 

"It technically is now." Lucifer said sheepishly, fixing the back of his hat. Apparently the long story version of whatever transpired made your previous assumption null and void.

"Regardless, Via would kill me if I let anything happen to either of you." Stolas shrugged innocently. 

"I would really love to catch up and all," Ozzie cooed putting his palms on his hips, "But uh, it looks like we have an orgy incoming - the bad kind." He pointed at what looked like cloud of swarming birds from this far away, but in reality was the angels coming this way. 

"LETS FUCK SOME BITCHES UPPPPPP!!!!" Blitzø dropped open a large duffle from which spilled multiple dozens of guns and grabbed two of them. 

"Hello! I'm Moxie!" The little demon with white hair chirped as he grabbed two sniper rifles and ran past all of you to scramble up the remnants of an emergency stairwell.

"I'm Millie!" She grabbed a ginormous axe out of the duffle bag which was hiding underneath all the guns.

"Alastor." Stolas looked above you, making bring your gaze up as well to see Alastor's sparkling red eyes. The two nodded in what seemed like some sort of understanding, and Alastor held you tighter, waving his hand to put a black shield that shimmered with green symbols around the two of you, presumably with basically the last magic he had left in him. 

"Oh fuck yeah! Reinforcements!" Apparently Angel Dust and Husker have found their way here, followed by Nifty who was giggling maniacally as she waved around her angel blood stained dagger. 

"Everyone, stand back." Stolas raised his hand his grimoire appearing floating above it, the pages on it ruffled until he put his other hand up in the air, his whole aura growing a bright purple. With a rough flick of the wrist the owl brought his free hand down and a rain of purple stars began falling out of the sky, growing larger until they looked like meteors coming down on the swarm of angels.

"Woah." You looked bewildered at the oddly pretty sight. That thinned the numbers quite a bit though and when the angels came down the rest of the group was ready for them. You watched Millie jump between two angels stabbing one in the stomach with her axe, then pull it out and cut the other angel in half in a single motion. Immediately following that up with a full body spin that separated the legs and torso of another angel. "I like her, she has style." You commented making Alastor chuckle. The laugh though got caught in his throat and he coughed up more blood, covering his mouth with his gloved hand.

Concerned, you offered him your wrist but he shook his head. "No. You are already low."

"I can't fight anyways, you need your strength." 

"I'm well enough to protect you and that is all that matters." As an angel neared the two of you he threw his arm out and the shield grew a tendril that knocked it away right in front of Vaggie, who was protecting the still slightly stunned Charlie. She impaled it on her spear then threw it into the rubble.
