It has been two years since he had that battle. Two years since he lost him to the hand of that devil yet the memory still haunts him.
Another fall evening passed by and Hokori decided he would take a trip to his favorite coffee shop, Rirakkusu, it was the only place he could go to and feel at his best. But lately even there felt dull. The Worker, Rio, greeted him like always with an empowering smile on her face, "how's life treating you?" she eyed his spiky black hair down to his over-stressed forehead until she met his gaze.
He looked up at her, his deep red eyes with dark bags under them gave her the hint, not today please get my usual. And by luck she picked up on his hint, "I'll get a frappuccino with the cream leaf like you like okay." And then she was off. He closed his eyes and sighed.
Several minutes passed... Hours... And by the end of 3 blinks, it seemed night fell hard. He didn't even notice Rio gave him his drink. He looked it the cream leaf and smirked. As he continued to eye the leaf his brain slipped becoming lazy. His vision did the same becoming hazy till he faded into the memory or the day. 2 years ago.
Hokori ran after the plane as fast as he could leg moving so fast that the wind cyclone behind him. But as he neared the plane it started to increase in speed. No. No. No. NoNoNo. It was preparing to take off with Lucifer and his brother inside beaten arms tied behind his back and a bag over his head. God just the thought of his brother on that plane made him run faster and faster tears slipped from eyes. Hands reaching forward as if maybe if he stretched hard enough then he could reach the plane. But then it pulled off. And he fell to the ground. Tears now pouring as he doubled over shaking screaming so loud that it shook the ground. Lucifer sat in his chair looking out the window of the plane, "first class is nice better enjoy it while you can boy." the devil grabbed the bag and yanked it off the brother's, Hagashun's, head showing a black eye, broken bloody nose, busted lip and a cut on his left cheek. Lucifer then grabbed Hagashun's head and pressed it against the window smiling, "Isn't it Amazing look at this view its a great way to die." Then he kicked the brothers gut making him cough up a pool of blood. "That's no way to treat such a good wooden floor." pressing his shoe to his head crushing it just a little so that Hagashun would let out an agonizing moan. "hahaha oh the music how you entertain me so. Good bye number 2." And before the second was over Lucifer's foot was buried in the skull of Hagashun's once barely living body.
Meanwhile at the airport
Hokori lay on the ground feeling useless. Like he failed to do the only thing he wanted to do the most. But suddenly he felt a pain in his head and a dark feeling, an emptiness in his gut. His red eyes became glossy and he saw Lucifer pulling his foot out of his brother's skull... Laughing. When he gained his original sight it wasn't long before darkness consumed his vision. A whisper fell off his tongue, "Lucifer..." Moments after he said that name his eyes became completely blood red. "Lucifer.." This time when he said it he was angry his nose flared and he snarled as he stood on all fours, "Lucifer!" His skin turned black and the corners of his lips almost touched his ears as his teeth and nails grew sharper, "LUCIFER!" his skin turned like cracked glass almost as if his skin couldn't contain his power, his rage. No.. His hatred. "LUCIFEEEEEEERRRR." smoke hissed out his mouth as he roared the name. He yanked his head in multiple directions taking in the air, sniffing out his target. But he didn't smell his foe. He smelled the blood of his brother. Only making the beast seven times as angry. Its eyes narrowed on the target as it eventually found the plane. Many miles away. But that didn't matter, nothing mattered. Kill... The beast then jumped forward leaving the ground shattered as he took off."oh my, you really are persistent," Lucifer felt this great mass of energy slicing through the air heading straight for the plane... No. Wait. Straight for him. "hahaha now I get to kill 2 birds. Well with one stone but not in the same swing" he smiled as he braced himself or impact. Almost He thought here! The beast split straight through plane grabbing Lucifer then they both rocketed out the plane. It all happen so fast it was almost as if one moment there was Lucifer and the next he was gone with two holes now in the plane.The two eventually landed on an island that was covered in mountains. They both crashed thirty meters from the other. "Lucifer" the beast hissed."damn you make me get tired of hearing my own-" but before he could finish his sentence there was a large claw next to his face. By instinct, he dodged by ducking only to be smashed to the ground by the fist of the beast. The devil chuckled as he realized his mistake quickly getting up and jumping backward, "Do you think that-" but once again a fist full of claws was next to his face. "how did-" but this his connected sending the devil flying to his left into a mountain. Seconds after he tried to get up he was hit in the jaw sending him flying in the air. "Man this is getting ol-" once again being cut off by a kick in his neck. After the kick, the beast spun and hammered his back with both arms. Sending Lucifer soaring to the ground. A moment later the beast landed 30 meters away. Waiting to see if he had finally killed him.Lucifer, however, wasn't out yet. He stood up. Dark black suit tattered and torn. "I liked this suit it was so fine." wings a tail and horns came from his skin turning red and eyes black. "NOW TELL ME BOY WILL YOU TRY AND DEFEAT GOD?" the beast speed towards the devil running so fast it was almost as if he had vanished. But Lucifer wasn't playing anymore and caught the beast by his fist and threw him into another mountain through that one and into another. Lucifer grabbed the beast by its neck "I call this mode Satan" and after the last word Satan pounded at the beast face had to be 20 times before the beast roared so loud it was deafening pushing Satan back to recover making him kneel. The beast planted itself on all fours and it eyed its enemy.Water appeared to be vaporizing at the corner of its eyes. As if it was crying. Simply because it was. Hagashun still in his head fueled the fire in his gut. Feelings of being lost. Alone. Worthless played in its mind. Satan stood up again. "How pitiful to thin-" Now at speeds beyond light could follow the beast darted it's fist right into Satan's gut making him cough up black blood. The devil swung and hit air as the beast zipped behind him connecting its fist to Satan's jaw. Growing angrier he spun around trying to catch the beast with a hook but missed again as the beast once again zipped 10 meters away from his opponent. Satan eyed him "such... Speed."Coughing up blood and holding his side he kept his eyes trained on the beast. Which didn't serve many purposes because within one blink it was right in front of him then it disappeared. Satan was a step ahead and expected an attack to come from behind so he focused on his back defense. Only to be once again punched in the gut. Then the face then leg. Back. Gut three, a punch to Satan's skull, and then a kick making the devil face plant. Black Blood painted the rocks around them. And Satan turned back to his Lucifer state and barely awake he turned around and was face to face with the beast. "Never more," it said before growing horns, voice deeper than an abyss sounding possessed and dark. "Never.. More," its eyes narrowed on Lucifers petrified face. "Never. More." a beam of black energy outlined by white shot out vaporizing Lucifer and the ground under them. Seconds minutes hours passed as the beast stood over the bones. Alone. Useless. Afraid. The beast slowly turned back to a tall, browned skinned black haired, red eyed man. Who stared at the bones. The collapsed to the ground as rained started to come down.
Rirakkusu
The coffee shops clock struck the 12 pm mark. Had he been there for an entire day? He doesn't remember. Rio then greeted him like always with an empowering smile on her face, "how's life treating you?"He met her gaze then felt a tap on his shoulder. The feel of the hand made him look down at the creamed leaf in his drink. Not many seconds later tears raced down his face and didn't stop. He knew well that the hand of his brother. Love and live Hokori. Then he vanished leaving him with even more tears an empty gut feeling. An alone feeling and an unfinished drink.
