"Oops," Lucifer smiled at the look of confusion on the goddess' face.
Lilith raised to her feet "Scouts!!" she shouted as a screech sounded out "hunters!!" a vibrating growl sounded through the throne room as the demons appeared ready to pounce.
A loud 'woo hoo!' blasted through the throne and Hela came flying in with countless fallen angels behind her. She landed in the throne room with flames, burning the demons who coward away.
"Hello, Mother" Hella landed on the stairs before Lilith. Lilith's anger was provoked by Hella's "long time, no see" greeting.
"Demons, warriors of hell!!" Lilith stood on the throne "Hear my call and hid to thy Queen aid," she announced as swarms of beast and demons came barrelling through the throne.
Demons of all shapes and sizes stood guarding the throne, their faces forming and deforming. Some had wings and others crawled along the deemed cells. Fallen stared at the demon with stony faces and black feathered wings. Ready to defend the Devil's throne and reclaim their lands; Nanatasis was the first to step forward, and everything erupted in a thundering battle.
Hela blew fire from her mouth, taking out the first line of defense as Nanatasis pulled out their guns and started shooting at anyone who came near them. Poppy and Jasper threw hordes of demons from sniper posts and fought in sync next to each other. The fallen angels took wingless demons to the sky and dropped them into their allies while Lilith stood watching her empire crumble; she watched as Nanatasis came closer and closer.
They pushed demons out of their way, dodging blows and shooting down anyone who got in their way. They fixated their eyes on the scepter and throne, which made Lilith panic. She pushed Demons in their way, conjured stone and fire, but Nanatasis persisted through it all until the possession stood before the goddess. Nanatasis reached out for the scepter, but they were pushed back by Lilith's power.
Lilith swung the scepter, and Nanatasis dodged it. She pushed out her wings and swished them around, causing waves of sharp spikes to flutter out. But Nanatasis leaned back as the spikes just missed her eyes. Lilith went in for another swing, but this time Nanatasis caught the scepter but the head. Lucifer could feel his cursed power flowing into his body again. Nanatasis closed their eyes to savor this feeling, but they pushed off and sliced across the face.
Blood pulled from the scar, and Lucifer's eyes got dangerously dark but when they looked up. Lilith had retreated back up the stairs to the throne, her eyes glanced upon her losing the battle, and turned to the only feasible solutions. She backed away from the throne and jammed the scepter into it. The sound of the breaking of obsidian made the room go silent; the demon rushed away, scared of what's coming.
Lilith waited for the familiar stomping on coal and death threatening roar, but nothing came. Instead, giant horns fell from above, landing at the goddess's feet. Lilith looked up to see Azrael flying above.
"Azrael!!!" Lilith screamed, like her throat was burning.
Azrael landed before the bottomless pit "Lilith" she sneered, with a smirk on her cheeks.
Azrael's chains clanged against her armor as she circled the bottomless pit. Heels clicked against the cold obsidian floor as she made her way to Lilith "Azrael, how forgiving" the words fell out of the goddess's mouth like it was disgusting "love truly is blind" she scoffed.
Azrael gripped her scythe until her knuckles turned white. "this is not forgiveness nor is it forgetting, I'm just here to put things back into their rightful place," she sneered.
She hissed with an enraged smile and pointed the scepter towards Azrael, "you will be giving up your" a flying blade that just missed her head.
"Heaven and Hell are my business, and you have messed with both" Azrael slammed her Scythe on the obsidian floor, causing the lava to flare "give up, Lilith, your throne does not sit in Hell and neither in Heaven" Azrael flipped the Scythe over and slice a straight line into the hard floor "you are outnumbered"
She slammed down her scythe once more and portals opened across each demon, as the arms of deemed come barreling out; grabbing each one and they disappeared into the cells that cluttered the walls, leaving no one to fight for the goddess.
Lilith laughed with her hand grabbing her chest. "you really think I was sitting on my ass, waiting for you to come for me, love? How embarrassing"
Suddenly a herd of orcs, ogres, grotesque beings stumbled their way towards the group. Azrael and Nanatasis took a step back at the sight of these beings. They were murmuring and muttering in their deformed forms like they were zombies. Some even whimpered and wailed like they were in pain, such an abomination of unwilling beings and their painful expression.
Lilith flew above them all with the scepter trusted forward and a cheesy grin on her face. "My multitude attack," she pointed forward, and the horde began stumbling towards them while others dove from above.
Poppy and Jasper jumped down from the sniper tower. Jasper sliced one of the ogres in half with ease while Poppy smashed orc's head in, they both turned towards each surprised. Hela set a dozen on fire while Azrael slipped her scythe into two and began slicing the beings as they drew near; Nanatasis used their twin guns, fighting off anyone that dared to touch Azrael.
Jasper fought his way to the Azrael "this so fucking easy, I could finish this mob off all by myself. " He sliced another ogre in half.
Lucifer's voice pulled out of Nanatasis mouth "that's not the point, this isn't a way to defeat us but to hinder us?" the possession stared up at the sky, looking at the goddess who flew away while they shoot another orc down
Poppy bashed another head in. "Can't Azrael just do that portal thing again?" she hit an orc that went flying towards the back.
Azrael flipped over and landed next to her, slicing a grotesque in half before it could attack. "Not that simple, I just open a portal and pull this horde down" Jasper turned towards her.
"why not?" he dodge an attack but ripping the orc's head off.
"Because the cells are full of demons And I can't just open a portal to anywhere" Azrael explained as Nanatasis blasted a head clean off, saving the angel.
Jasper rolled his eyes. "if that was your only specialty, why not save it for a better occasion," he complained, ripping the beings apart.
"I just spent an hour fighting Balrog. You think I had a plan coming up here?" Azrael sliced another being down.
"STOP!" Lucifer growled. "Get off Azrael's back and start coming up with ideas, how to get up there without those things dragging us down"
Azrael stare up at the fleeing goddess and turned to Nanatasis "shoot her down, just the wing" she ran up to the Nanatasis "it will give us an edge and I can clear a path, just in time to get the scepter" Azrael explain looking at the possession
Nanala's voice came shaking out, "I can't do that, it is a moving target" they blasted another orc's head off.
Azrael turned to the Hela, Poppy and Jasper "Cover us" the three formed circle around the two "you can, just remember steady" Azrael grabbed Nanatasis waist and pushed her feet apart "breath" Nanala took in a shaking breath "and confidence" Azrael lifted her arm and aimed at the goddess "now" Nanala took the shot but it hit one of the flying grotesque.
But another shot rang out and hit Lilith in the wing. "I did it!!" Nanala screamed in excitement as Nanatasis jumped up and down in glee. "Now, Azrael," Lucifer's voice breathed out of the possession.
Azrael flipped her twin scythe and combined them, closed her eyes and slammed down her scythe and every being turned to dust, causing a path to open "Now" her eyes opened in complete ivory.
Nanatasis grabbed Azrael's hand, and they went speeding off towards the falling goddess. They raced past the throne, past the figure in cages, to find Lilith laying on her back, a wounded wing and the scepter on her chest; Nanatasis reached down to grab it but Lilith swiped the staff, causing Nanatasis to fall back but Azrael was too fast. She dodged the attack and kicked the scepter from the goddess' hand. Lilith tried to stand and reach for it but Azrael held her scythe at the goddess' neck.
Nanatasis walked up to the scepter and laid their hand over it. It flew up into their grasp and a murmur sounded through the throne room. Nanatasis's dark umber skin erupted with lines of lava, a brimstone crown appeared over his head, his ringlets of black have moved like snakes into a halo and his eyes glowed in red as whispers echoed around the cells and cages began to rattle while Nanala was pushed out of the possession. His clothes fell from his body ribbon crested his hips and around his neck, his fixed on Azrael's eyes which were ivory and glowed with lust; which only made him smirk.
"No," Lilith gasped, just as he raised his scepter.
