They all landed safely on the ground ashes of the Underworld. Lucifer did not hesitate for a moment. He carried Emma on his back, spread his wings and flew towards the Heavens. Tarael stopped him in midair.
"I don't have time for you right now! I need to get Emma to a safe place!" Lucifer yelled fiercely at Tarael and evaded him, but Tarael stopped him once more.
"Look, I am very angry at all this, but I want to help you. On our way here I had thoughts and I'm tired of all the fights and---" Tarael said sincerely.
"That's great, if you want to help, you can start by following me right now." Tarael without any hesitation flew beside him. With all the rush Lucifer didn't notice the army of demons that shadowed him.
"Damn it! This is why I was in such a hurry!" Lucas mumbled to Tarael as he boost his speed even further.
"I'll distract them."Tarael said.
"You sure?" Lucifer responded.
"It's the least I can do." Tarael whispered more to himself and turned away.
Lucifer nodded and continued his route upward. He thought of a plan. The Heavens and the Underworld are strictly divided. A fallen angel on the holly grounds shall be severely punished.
The Golden Gate was near them now. The royal guards, whose purpose is to expel any demon interventions from the Heavens, were approaching with great fury. He particularly noticed Michael, one of the seven archangels he battled with last time.
"No, please!" An abdicated Lucas expressed. "I have an innocent human with me."
The guards came into a halt.
"What is your purpose, demon?" Michael said, pointing his lance towards Lucifer's throat.
"I was ordered by the council to come forth. Call Sera. She knows all about—"
"It's fine." A voice came howling from a far. "Let him in."
Seraphina came in to view with the council leader, Semreh. Michael and the guards immediately bowed to their presence.
"Lucifer and Emma" welcomed Semreh. "Do come in." Lucifer held Emma's hand, gave a quick bow and passed the gates. Semreh lead the way. Seraphina got near Lucifer.
"Don't reck anything." Murmured Seraphina in to his ear.
"No promises." Lucifer murmured back.
They finally walked inside the court. The room was wide and cornered by counselors and thinkers. In the center of the room rested a podium , where Lucifer would be standing. In front of it, on a higher level will stand Semreh. Seraphina sat near both of them and Emma waited outside. The room was swallowed up by negative features. They all felt heavily the presence of their enemy. Lucifer looked at all of them and then towards the hollow ground.
"Everybody, let's settle down." Semreh said and everybody did so. "You have all been summoned in this court to discuss the latest issue arising in the Underworld. Adramelech, with his followers are planning to trigger a coup de' tat. We are gathered to witness an arrangement as well...Seraphina, the archangels and I have came up with the idea of siding with Lucifer.
The counselors raged, but Semreh established order once more.
"Please, I beg for your understanding." Semreh implored. "Seraphina, may you take it from here?"
"Gladly." She responded and continued. "Our idea is that if Lucifer sides with us, there is a greater chance of victory. The enemy has a supposedly secret weapon, and maybe Lucifer knows how to outwit it, since they worked under his command. The human alliance have abandoned us, because of the loss of the last battle. It's only the angels now. Last battle was almost a success, but with out the knights of the human alliance and with the fortify demon army, it's gonna be hard."
"You know, there will be a catch to all of this." Lucifer interrupted. "I'm not agreeing without securing certain things."
"Understandable." Seraphina said with all the seriousness in the world. "Speak up and you'll be heard."
Lucifer noticed her drastic change among the councilors and thinkers. He wondered for a moment why she acted this way, but ignored it.
"Gladly." He replied mockingly and stood up. Lucifer thought about it well. The council always had their ways of finding loop holes. "First, I want the complete safety of Emma and when I mean safety, I mean I can interact with her to make sure this is being accomplished, she'll be kept in the Zion's Castle and she will NOT have her memory removed."
