As I appear back in the battlefield I see two of my Fallen fighting several of Michael's soldiers, the same goes for most my Fallen. One of the Fallen, Azazyel meets me on the way to the battle.
"Lucifer, we're pushing to the General but he has a lot of troops. What should we do?" He asks.
"Azazyel, you're needed on the battlefield, I will deal with the General and anyone who gets in my way, But I need you to help the other Fallen, hold off the other troops." I say while walking.
"I'll see you when I'm done with the General, old friend." I clap him on the shoulder and he flies off to the other Fallen.
I continue walking towards the general. A soldier stabs a spear at me, I grab the base and smite him then throw the spear into an oncoming soldier. I pick up the fallen soldiers saber and parry an attack stabbing through him, then slicing up the chest of another. As I walk I drop the saber and duck then roundhouse another soldier's skull in. The General gets up off his throne and walks out of the tent in his camp.
I walk into the camp and put out my hand, sending a giant wave of light burning through all of the normal Angelic soldiers. The General shrugs it off and drops his cape, running towards me.
I let loose a demonic roar and duck as he throws a punch towards me, pulling my knee up into his stomach and spin, planting my foot into his side, succeeding in sending him back a foot or so.
The General throws his arm out in an arch slicing into the ground with an invisible blade of power. He continues to slice towards me, trying to land a hit. I duck and as he pulls his arm towards me I grab it, twisting and twirl sending my elbow into the solar plexus then slam the back of my fist into his nose. As the General stumbles back I plant my foot into his chest with a kick, knocking him over and crouch over him, my hand on his skull.
"Tell Michael, Lucifer is home." I smite him, a blood red light shooting out of his mouth and eyes.
As my Fallen finish up with what's left of the troops I explain to Azazyel what happened and that now Michael and Raphael are both going to be more ferocious in their attacks.
"Why?" Azazyel asks.
"You don't know my brothers like I do. A call out from their little brother who was banished, they won't take it lightly." I say
"Don't worry. Once I am at full power again I can take on either, need be." I say then disappear to the Motel room Izmar is staying in.
"Staying in your own room now?" I ask
"Did you get into a fight?" I question again.
"No, just, it'll be easier for you to visit if they don't sleep in the same room. I just said I need my privacy and left it at that." She replies.
"I see." I say walking over and lying on the bed. I grip my side and look at my hand, realizing I was hit by the General's blade.
"Are you alright?" She says a bit frantically.
"Yeah, just a graze. I'll be okay." I say and lay my head back against the pillow. She walks over and lays with me, resting her head against my chest.
"So, you saved us all. Again. I thought we could handle it..." She says looking down.
"That was my fault. I spoke to Asmodeus, He was supposed to let you think you won. But he betrayed me." I explain guiltily.
"You sicked him on us? as a test?" She says, anger clear in her voice.
"Yes, I needed something to keep you busy while I was fighting." I say truthfully.
She just sighs and closes her eyes. I put my hand against her ribs and say "This is going to hurt, but it'll prevent you from being tossed around by demons." I carve an Enochian symbol into her side and remove my hand.
I look down after a few minutes and find her asleep. "Well, might aswell, I haven't slept in several days." I say and doze off.
