Satan watched with glee as the people began scattering. His eyes darted to a man as the—to Mortal eyes—unmanned weapon of mass destruction rolled towards him, an unseen devil at the wheel. The tank struck the Mortal down, death forcing him to swallow his last breath. Blood spilled from the man towards The Devil, causing him to smile. A red bubble came from the carcass and into Satan's open palm. "What shall I do with you?" He asked himself, tossing the bubble between his hands like a ball. He peered into it, seeing the terrified war vet looking back. The veteran banged on the outer limits of the ball before being thrown back. "You were a martyr; then again, I see no Angels are here to pick you up. I've been presented with an opportunity and so, I thank you for helping me taunt Mother."
He tossed the man's soul over his shoulder into a little wicker basket not too far away. "That's one more soul for me." Lightning struck and Satan looked up, acknowledging his mother's anger. "You want to take him, come down and get him. I'm not afraid of you." He challenged the immortal creator. Receiving no response from the "God Squad" (the collective name he gave to his mother's Angelic followers), he began to scan the area for another person to squeeze the life out of, when his red Devil's tail stiffened up in response to a presence heading for him... quickly. His horns and tail instantly disappeared as he shapeshifted. He stood at 5'5 with shaggy, dirty blonde hair and bright green eyes. His new name was William Rutherford. William turned around and saw a brunette with flaring brown eyes—eyes of anger and outrage. It was his mistress (and the queen of Russia), Alexandra Romanov. Her red and blue dress was in tatters; how she got away from the shooting must be an act of God... unless those fools were actually more incompetent than Satan realized and she was able to sneak away.
"I saw you!" She said to him.
"What ever do you mean, Alix?" Asked William, innocence practically oozing from his essence. He then noticed her anger and questioned, "What's wrong? Did something happen with Nicholas?"
The woman stopped before staring Satan down and barking, "Quit the damn innocent act; you and I are most definitely not in God's eyes!" Finally something we can agree on. Satan thought with an eye roll. "All the bad things that have been happening with these damned Young Turks have always happened while you were around; every attack that we have had with the Triple Entente is all your fault!"
Rutherford began to refute, "That's quite an outrageous claim, don't you-?"
"I also saw you shapeshift." Romanov continued before accusing, "You're The Devil!"
First, eyes as wide as if bulging, then a chuckle as darkness shrouded William's body and he reverted back to his original form. "Alright, you got me, you got me; you're a smart girl Alexandra. I guess sex drive, need for the extreme in the bedroom, and beauty couldn't have been the only reasons you were chosen for queen, but I could be wrong; Nicky never was the sharpest knife in the drawer. How is the ol' chap, anyway?"
"Dead. My family is dead because of you!" She screamed.
His voice devoid of emotion, he responded, "You doomed them by dating The Devil; gave me more souls for the processor, but enough about them, onto you. For figuring out my identity, I applaud you." Satan began applauding the infuriated woman.
"Don't you dare clap!" The former queen ordered, her kingdom continuing to plummet around her.
"Ooh, there's the feisty Alexandra I know. I'm going to enjoy your spirit." Satan blew a red mist in her face, which turned her eyes blood red. She dropped to the ground, letting out a scream. "Mom!" A female voice cried out. Satan looked to directly behind Alix to confront the other woman:
