Demons Worth Fighting For (a Ghost Rider x Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss crossover)

Chapter 47: Ars You Goetia-ing My Way? (part 2)

(A.N.: Once again, I apologize for the long wait. Both artist/animator and writer hobbies, not to mention my daily life, gets in the way, and I can't juggle between all at the same time. I guess that's why I take so long to publish new chapters. I hope you guys understand. So, here's the next chapter.)

----

Back at the abandoned asylum, the sound of Layla's hysterical laughter can be heard from within. After witnessing Aiden's brutal beating by Zadkiel, she and Maste escaped to their lair, and Layla was still laughing all the way. Now, she was confident that she might have found a way to get even with her little brother. Maste, on the other hand, was beginning to worry. Usually, he remained loyal to Layla, after taking him into her team of occultists, and becoming her second-in-command. But, what he witnessed back at Stolas's palace was something he was fearing much worse than he can imagined, if that was something Layla was planning.

Layla: *snicker* Ohoho, that was so satisfying! My little brother! Getting his bloody punishment by a fucking angel!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Oooohh, I loved that part!!

Maste: Oh, I'm sure it was, and I'm happy for you. (thinking) Maybe...

Layla: And you oughta be, Maste. Now that we know that this angel, Zadkiel, is partially responsible for creating all those Ghost Riders, this could be an opportunity to have him on our side. (wide evil grin) And to take things up to the next higher level. It's time.

Those were the trigger words for Maste.

Maste: Whoa, whoa, Layla! You're not thinking what I think you're thinking, are you?

Layla frowned and turned her head sideways to look at Maste.

Layla: Got a problem with that?

Maste: No, of course not. It's just... it might not be such a good idea. Just saying.

Turning around and walking up to Maste, Layla then shoved him hard against the wall, and glared at him. She was starting to think that Maste might want out, if she was about to execute this plan of hers. Her eyes and hair were starting to glow purple flames in anger.

Layla: (gritted teeth) Mephisto has given me this ultimate power, and I have waited so long for an opportunity to unleash this! No one is going to STOP ME from killing my damn brother ONCE AND FOR ALL!! I am going to summon this hidden power, and you're going to participate in this!! UNDERSTAND!?!?!?

Maste was quick to nod his head in fear of getting hurt again. The glowing and hair moving stopped, as Layla lets go of her only second-in-command.

Layla: I've also heard that my brother changed his name to "Aiden Justice" to use in Hell. *scoff* What a stupid name for a Ghost Rider! As if he can hide his true identity down here for long! Well, two can play at that shitty game.

Maste: Ok... And what name would you use?

Turning her head with a smirk, Layla decided on a new name.

Layla: Darcia.

That new name sounded good to Maste, as he nodded in approval. Then, Layla summoned her magic, and her appearance was soon transformed. Her hair grew down to her waist, changed from black to dark purple, with added vivid purple streaks. Her jacket changed into a different kind of long coat, and her long fingerless gloves went from dark gray to dark purple-red. And lastly, even her neck choker changed colors like the gloves.
