"Who would have known that I don't even need to use my bare hands to finish the job,
Such a shame to see you like this, you used to be tough.
Oh, and do you know that my other hand is synthetic?
I, at first worry about this fact, but hey it's alright,
Because no matter how hard you tried,
Here you are, bloody, defeated and tired.
I'm supposed to be the cripple here,
But yeah, I guess it sucks to be a failed experiment.
Maybe if you don't bleed whenever you open your eyes,
You may have perhaps...had a better chance."
The Devil of Greed was about to finish Abaddon,
When out of nowhere, came the son of Mammon.
Elenchos yells, of how much they were wrong,
"Father! To repent, we don't have much long!"
Mammon yawned as he stretches his arms,
Then proceeded to inflict more harm.
He kicks his beaten opponent, then closes his eyes,
as he pulls out Abaddon's greatest weapon,
Not a time wasted aside.
Abaddon woke up, and screamed the most pained scream,
As Martha froze, hoping it was all a blurry dream.
Laughing at how easy it all took,
The demon of greed continued to mock his opponent with insulting words.
He then proceeded to boost his ego,
Making Elenchos lose half his hope.
"I'm a step closer to owning this world,
One after another, I'll kill all these fools."
"Father...Father, please reconsider!
God will punish you, and the suffering won't be over!"
The Gold-eyed demon sighed as he took off his gloves,
Not interested in listening to his sole son's rants.
He picked the eyes of Abaddon and soon enough,
Threw it to melt aside.
The eyes did quickly melt in the soil,
And as Mammon was about to aid Nemue,
Elenchos again spoke.
"Father, listen! Because you never did!
Do you truly love me? Let's stop with our sins!"
"This is why raising you was a mistake!
You're too soft! Your potential's all to waste!
You are potentially even stronger than me,
But you lack courage, lack spirit,
you're nothing like me.
You're so young and they're taking advantage of your cowardice,
They're only using you, because of convenience.
You're too strong to simply be defeated,
So they thought of another way,
To change, to influence.
I'm upset of what you've become, Elenchos,
Is this how you repay us? You're easily swayed with words,"
"Not anymore, Father,
I won't listen to the lies I've been told."
Mammon felt angry, and aimed the gun,
To none other, but his own heir and son.
"Martha, tell the others to step back,"
"Elenchos.."
"This world...had suffered enough,
And I'm also responsible for it, am I not?"
Martha gulped, she knew that one of them may die,
But also knew, that stopping him would cause no change,
Mammon's eyes were filled with rage,
And she only hoped, that his own son, could cause the change.
The woman told the others to stay away,
As the two devils, continued to threaten the other with a glare.
The older devil wore his gloves once more,
So he be able, to use the gun to his favor.
Mammon then pulls another set of bullets,
As he mocks his son, to back away.
Elenchos could not believe his father,
Killing his own son, is he really capable?
The young demon rose his fist,
He knows he's stronger to melt anything he please,
But he felt nothing but weak,
As unlike his father, he cannot him willingly.
His tears fell down, as he takes a deep breath,
(You need to kill him, because he refused to change...)
But his own heart would not let him kill his own,
And Elenchos hated himself even more.
Suddenly, he knelts to the ground,
Crying bitterly, didn't even cared if it's quite loud,
He apologizes, apologizes to his father for not being the son he wanted,
Then, he apologizes to the angels, for lacking the courage to defend them.
"I know you've been upset with my whole existence, Father,
I knew it the time you sighed when I couldn't lift a sword,
I knew it when you told me that I'll have no future by reading childish books,
That I would have been the softest of the Demon Lords.
I knew it all, the disgust you try to hide,
You're ashamed of me, I am not one of your pride."
Mammon was brought back to reality when his son spoke his heart,
And felt angry not by him, but his own self for aiming his gun.
Right...he is his son,
How can he make him feel so unloved all this time.
Mammon puts down his weapon,
And walks slowly, to embrace his son,
The distraction was all it took for Abaddon,
To tackle the demon from behind.
Abaddon then sucked Mammon's own energy,
Making him heal his own injuries rapidly.
Elenchos' heart broke, when he heard his father call out to him,
Begging him to kill Abaddon, or else he would perish.
Abaddon then warns Elenchos to close his eyes,
As he is about to witness, his father die.
"Soon enough, I'll grow another pair of eyes,
And if that happens, you'll see him bid goodbye."
"Please, sir Abaddon! Don't kill my Father!"
"I'm afraid, I cannot be easily reasoned,"
With such words, and his father's cryings, Elenchos was torned,
Should he help his Father, or help the world with its cause.
"I'm lucky that it's a demon lord I'm fighting,
Our cells are the only ones compatible for healing,
And I'm lucky you have such weakness, Mammon,
Who would have thought, you could lose in a second..."
Abaddon then prepares to open his eyes,
When Elenchos quickly charged at him, tackling him to the ground,
And because he did not want to kill at all,
Elenchos only sucked Abaddon of his power.
Martha yells at him to stop,
But all Elenchos did was apologized.
"Martha, I couldn't let my father die,
I couldn't let anyone die."
Abaddon could not let it happen,
As he hears Mammon already coming his way.
He tells Elenchos to close his eyes,
As Abaddon, then opens his own to attack.
Elenchos did not expect Abaddon to open his eyes so soon,
And made a mistake to stare into his own.
He felt mesmerized, staring into those orbs,
But when he felt his fingers turning to ash,
Felt completely distraught.
Abaddon felt guilty as he watches the kind boy,
Slowly yelling, telling him to undone his curse.
But Abaddon never had any remedy for this power,
And though Mammon's eyes were closed, he knew what had occured.
Abaddon quickly closed his eyes,
As he tells Mammon to cradle his son,
Mammon for once did not cared if it was a trick,
He quickly ran toward his son, than worry of Abaddon fighting him.
Elenchos was embraced by his father,
And for once than fear, Elenchos felt comfort.
Mammon kisses his son's cheeks as he tells him to fight,
But Elenchos only tightened the embrace, as he smiles.
"Father, please do change...
For I would love to embrace you again,
one day."
Those were his final words as he completely disappears,
Leaving the Demon of Greed, empty.
Mammon felt completely mad,
As his son melted to nothing but ash.
He tries to keep them together, but they were blown away by the wind,
No matter how much he begged for his remains to stay in one piece.
He apologized to Abaddon, and the angels present,
Telling them, that he had realized his mistakes.
And because Abaddon recognizes his grief,
Walked closer, and tried to comfort him, also out of guilt.
Humility took a glance at the scene below,
And for a while, felt that something was wrong,
He yells at Abaddon to stay away,
But when he heard it, it was already too late.
Mammon rose his gun,
But before he could even fire,
Ken blasted a hot concentrated light,
Burning both the Demon Lord's hands.
Mammon was shocked,
And in grief and exhaustion,
Fell to the ground.
.
.
.
Ken's decision to help save Abaddon proved to be fatal,
As Nemue took this short amount of time-
To directly attack him, but he caught her advances,
Although as he chokes her, she pricks him with a rather, huge needle.
The pain proved too much for him to tolerate,
As he throws her to the ground, enraged.
His arm bled on, but he refused Raphael's help,
Reminding him always, that he's near death at this rate.
Martha worries and calls out to Ken,
And when he heard, he only encourages her to help their allies and friends,
"Please do aid everyone, and be safe,"
He says with a smile, until he heard the witch laugh again.
She smiles a wide smile, as she opens another bottle,
"The other got a hole in it, but good thing, this baby's not broken,
Ah, that's why it's always good to bring extras,
Right, little fella?"
She drinks the bottle and heals herself again,
But Ken didn't even wait for her to empty the bottle.
He tried to attack, but was blocked,
By a monster, as hard as rock.
"Geez, can't even have the courtesy to let me finish,
You don't have much manners after all, huh, little chosen?"
"Hmm, I ordered two rock monsters, but only one remained,
I guess Aza did a good job, but there's no way she can escape.
Now, now, my little rock fella keep him busy,
As I do some cool trick, that will surely make them cry and beg to me,"
Ken's eyes widened when Nemue snaps her fingers,
A doll appeared, that looked quite like him,
Ken's confusion made Nemue laugh even more,
"Oh my, you totally forgot, didn't ya?!"
She then pulls out the needle from her pocket,
The same needle she used to prick Ken,
The huge needle had his blood and hair,
And before she completely stabs the doll,
She mocks him again.
"Don't pee yourself, but this would feel like being run over by a train.
I warned ya, so don't feel like I didn't care."
Angels and reapers alike tried to stop her,
But all were overcomed by her puppets and monsters,
Some angels vanished, and some reapers too,
Making Ken feel guilty even more.
He tried to escape his fate but was quickly shocked,
The moment the doll was pierced, appeared a hole in his stomach.
Ken quickly fell to the ground,
Not even having enough time to look around.
He closed his eyes, overwelmed by the pain,
And just like that, he lost the will to live.
Martha couldn't help but shout and challenge the witch,
Almost charging at her, despite knowing their difference in strength.
She was only stopped by the angels from charging at Nemue,
Who did not even see Mar as a threat.
Raphael, was in complete disbelief,
And quickly flew to the ground, to help Ken heal.
The witch quickly took interest in him,
"What wonderful eyes you have, is it for me?"
Raphael did not answer, as he prays that Ken's wounds close,
And in anger, the witch kicked Raphael and spoke.
"Listen to me when I'm talking,"
"I would never honor a witch, that stinks of blood and meat,"
The witch was about to stab Raphael when Ken lost his last ounces of strength,
Pushing the witch, although he's bloody red.
"Hm, it seemed that you've accepted your fate,"
Nemue commented, as she pushes Ken out of the way.
She then pulls a match and burns the doll,
Resulting to shocked expressions,
Especially from Mar.
Humility felt deeply angry,
And if not for the reapers that constantly pulls him,
He would have been dead already.
"You're all too tired, just admit it,
And I'm bored, 'cause you're all weak,
Look at your 'chosen', or whatever he's called,
Look, he's just slowly, being burned."
Ken did not even shout nor yell,
He just closed his eyes, as he says his last farewell.
He didn't have much time to rethink his life,
Not even enough time for a short flashback.
He simply gasped for air one more time,
And after the struggle, he dies.
Nemue then looks at the crowd and mocks them,
"I know, I know, he looks crispy and peaceful right?
Don't worry, you don't have to beg,
I assure you, you'll all soon be... next."
