Radna: Silence fell upon the outside of the temple, the sounds of anguishing screams in the distance grew louder until there was a loud crash. The side of the temple was ruptured as Radna was thrown from the building into the middle of the hellish city. He slammed his fist into the ground, enraged by the circumstance. He grunted as he rose, popping his shoulder back in its socket, "Bastards..." He yanked his chains, bringing his hell hooks back to his hands.
Lucifer: He burst forth from the hole, landing a couple hundred feet away from where Radna resided. He ripped his blade from the unholy earth, pointing it toward the purple demon, "Is this truly how you wish to die? Lower your weapons and perhaps I can make use of you as my general."
Radna: He laughed in the face of the fallen angel, "That is extremely fucking degrading, I should feel offended, but unfortunately, I don't care for the opinions of Heaven's mistake." He suddenly sensed a strange movement to his right, and with one swift motion, he grabbed the air.
Beelzebub: The centipede-like humanoid creature became visible as she was held by her neck. She clawed at Radna's hand with her razor-sharp claws, but it did little. "Release me abomination!"
Radna: He scoffed, "Yknow, I've never been a huge fan of bugs." He slammed the bug into the ground, ripping her stinger from her back, and thrusting it deep into the top of her head, green blood oozed into his hand. "Ew, fucking gross." He threw the bug's body to the floor. Beelzebub's body slowly shriveled up into a green crystal shard, burning with sinful energy. He slammed his foot upon the crystal, eradicating hell of the very idea of envy.
Lucifer: He flinched at the destruction of his sinful ally, clenching the handle of his sword. "Mammon...Asmodeus, rip this spiritual world of this nuisance, or I will ensure you two meet the same fate as Wrath..."
Asmodeus & Mammon: "yes sire..." The two larger sins leaped down from the temple stairs, the force of their landing shattering the unholy grounds.
Belphegor: "And what of me sire?"
Lucifer: "I have the perfect role for you to play." He thrust his hand into the chest of Belphegor, ripping out his sin crystal, and watching the sin's body turn into ash. He drained the crystal of its power, absorbing it into his own body. "If things don't go as planned with the other sin's...I shall strike this foe down."
Radna: He eyed the two demons, his smile widening to the edges of his face. "I'm not one for threesomes, but I am willing to try new things." He laughed maniacally, throwing his hooks into the ground behind them. He pulled on the chains the ground beneath the two ripped apart, launching them in his direction.
Mammon: "Your confidence will be your downfall!" He clasped his dragon-like feet onto the ground, swinging his fist into the face of the purple demon, the force of his punch shattered the temple grounds. He grabbed Radna by the leg, throwing him into a nearby structure.
Radna: Slightly dazed, he pushed the rubble off himself. "...I kinda felt that." He felt his face, feeling that it had cracked slightly more around his eyepatch. "You bastard! You fucked up my face more! Sure it already had a crack there and it's covered up but still!" He bolted towards Mammon, and each step he took shook the ground.
Mammon: "You sure are persistent!" He took another swing at him again as Radna charged forth.
Radna: Grabbing his fist, he swung back at Mammon, the force of his punch forcing the bones in Mammon's arm out the back of his arm, Mammon fell back, roaring in pain. "You sure are a pain in my ass. " He spoke an unknown language into his fist, magic spiraled around his hand forming a ring of black steel and a hellfire gem onto his finger.
Grabbing Mammon by his neck, he lowered him down putting the ring against the sin's chest. "Banishment." His voice echoed throughout Hell, the ring glowed a ferocious red before absorbing the sinful energy of the demon turning their body to ash. He collected the Sinful Shard from the ash pile, putting it away.
Asmodeus: Orange Hellfire built up on the beast's back, it's rage building, "You son of a bitch! you dare challenge and destroy us, do you have any idea what the consequences of your actions are?! We are the seven deadly sins, we rule over entire factions of Hell, and we are the reason spirits enter Hell in the first place to be judged!"
Radna: He laughed in the face of the lust sin, "You sound so unbelievably arrogant, you realize your existence is fatuous right? Mortals make their own choices with or without you, people will sin with or without sinful embodiments such as yourself. So me destroying you doesn't destroy the form because Hell itself is the form, you use its power for your gain, big difference lil bro."
Asmodeus: The four heads stared the purple beast down before each one began to smirk, and bright pink smoke leaked from their mouths. "What if I told you, we could give you exactly what you desire?" The area between the two demons morphed into a large black room, the floor made of pink smoke and two white doors sat upon the walls.
Radna: He shook his head a bit, confused and dazed. "What...what is this? What did you do to me? Where is this?"
Asmodeus: "This is one of my many domains, here I can give you exactly what you desire most. You have two choices: accept my offer and forfeit yourself, or decline my offer, but either way, it works out for us." He chuckled.
Radna: He stared at Asmodeus, before turning towards the door on the right. He slowly raised his hand, placing it on the handle. As he turned the handle and pulled open the door, a bright light seeped into the room.
Asmodeus: He smirked, waiting to see what was beyond the light.
Radna: As the light faded away, the room of desire was empty. "...Not what you were expecting huh?"
Asmodeus: He took a step back, all of his heads turned towards each other with looks of confusion and frustration. "I don't understand, you were supposed to be absorbed into my prison of desire, how is this possible?!"
Radna: He turned to face the Sin of Lust, "The thing I desire most...you cannot give me, you cannot manifest it, it is already gone..." He stepped toward Asmodeus, each step shaking the void, cracking the walls of desire. "Did you honestly believe, that I would fall so easily into your tricks? My mind is beyond your sinful nature..."
Asmodeus: He grunted, forcing a smile onto his many faces. "Nonetheless, I can still destroy you without desire." With the snap of his fingers, the smoke on the ground formed the shape of chains attaching themselves to Radna's body, ripping into his flesh.
The chains forced him to the floor, pinning Radna down as they began to drain him of his strength. "Do not worry, we will find some kind of use for your body. It will be better without this distasteful soul- AGH" A hand ripped through his chest, holding the Sinful Shard of Lust.
Lucifer: "I apologize Asmodeus...but we foresee that you will not be capable of finishing the job." He ripped his hand from the chest of Asmodeus, watching him crumble to the ground before absorbing another sin. He turned his attention towards Radna, "You are formidable compared to the last person who tried to oppose the sins...You single-minded creatures can never see the big picture, we are but pawns in a much larger game. Good and evil, mean very little to those who watch over us."
Radna: He grunted, attempting to stand but his body still felt weak, he fell back to the floor again feeling the constraints bind him tighter. "You sure talk a lot...for a fallen angel."
Lucifer: He pressed his head against Radna's neck, applying slight pressure to cause more agony. "I am more than just a fallen angel. I was sent down to the spiritual realms by an entity far greater than you or I. This entity is perfect, a being of both light and dark, each aspect of its existence leading to the end of all things. It commanded me to strike down those who opposed its image, and obtaining the power of the sins was just one move in its grand game. I do not truly want the power of Hell, no power in the world is greater than my lord's."
Radna: He chuckled, "And how did this big man feel about you not even being able to rise against Lucium? You must be a pretty pathetic disciple to not even be capable of beating one lone demon..."
Lucifer: He said nothing, he didn't even acknowledge his taunts. He raised his blade high in the air, and a burning power rose within it. Black and red energy spiraled around the blade as he thrust it down into Radna's left arm, cutting it off.
Radna: "AHH! You bastard!" He roared out in agony and pain, and before he could make another move against Lucifer, he was struck in the back by the blade, and pinned against the unholy floor. The energy from the blade seared his skin, welding the blade to his body.
Lucifer: He removed his foot from Radna's neck, stomping upon the handle of the sword thrusting it deeper into the ground. "One day you will see it from the perspective of his truly, allowing his grace to spread upon the land as the very thought of creation is snuffed out. We do not deserve the lives we are given, the power that is passed down upon us, we are disgusting creatures that need to be eradicated and only he can give that to the world." He crouched down beside Radna's head, staring down at his weak body.
Radna: "Why...me...Why did 'he' want you to deal with me so badly..." He spat out blood, struggling to remain conscious. His hands shake, unable to push himself off of the ground or free himself from the blade.
Lucifer: "He knows you, you put on this fake face and pretend to be unaware of this world. But we know better Radna...or should we call you...Hide and Seek?"
Radna: "How do...you know that name...I have not gone by that since-"
Lucifer: "Since the old world fell...Yes, he told me about that. You were an arrogant warrior, a beast beyond nature, you were idolized throughout the realms as the one who was born of Lucium and broke free. You tried to be something better, you tried to be better, and yet you remain the same...pathetic worm you always were."
He grabbed Radna's head by his horn, lifting it slightly. "You are a disgrace to all that you represent...you could have been something that truly represented darkness, but you chose to stand on the side of light. I expected so much more from the son of Lucium, but I suppose I must leave disappointed..." He placed his hand on Radna's forehead and began to extract his power, Radna roared out in pain with what energy he had left, "Your power will serve a greater purpose, under the control of the Ush'Rak-" Suddenly something punched him in his helmet, shattering it before launching him against the Wall of Hell.
Star: "I have had enough Demon's for one day!" He turned toward Radna, running to his side. "Dear celestials, I leave for one moment and this happens?" He tried to play off Radna's pain with humor.
Radna: He could only muster up a smirk, "I hate you so much...but I am glad you are here..."
Star: He looked at the blade in Radna's back, "Oh no- okay we are gonna try to get that out of you." He grabbed the hilt of the blade, pulling on it, the harder he pulled the more energy surrounded the blade causing incredible pain.
Radna: "AHH, FUCKING STOP!" He punched the ground, "It's a cursed blade...you can't just rip it out...you have to weaken its source." He pointed weakly to where Lucifer was shot.
Star: He inhaled and exhaled quickly, feeling the stress of the situation hit him like a train. "Alright, I'll work on that situation you just- try to get it out while I focus on him." He stood up, but his arm was grabbed by Radna.
Radna: "Wait...Take off your gauntlets before you attack him..."
Star: He looked at his golden gauntlets, "What why?"
Radna: "Just...do it. trust me." He let go of Star's arm.
Lucifer: He ripped himself from the crater in the wall, and his wings flapped aggressively, forming large gusts of wind, blowing rubble and sand around the surrounding area. "Well if it isn't the other side of the world...the good. You just can't leave things alone, you always have to intrude!" He summoned a spear crafted from evil and rushed toward the golden warrior.
Star: He ripped off his gloves, and threw them to the floor as instructed. the impact of the gauntlets shook all of Hell, cracking the unholy ground. He looked around in shock, before focusing back on Lucifer, "Well that was unexpected!"
Lucifer: He threw the spear toward Star, rushing in faster from the skies.
Star: He jumped quickly out of the way of the spear but was hit by Lucifer, knocking him into a nearby pillar. "Why is everyone constantly getting faster than me..."
Radna: He grunted before yelling out, "He has been powered up by some kind of dark entity! If you want to move faster than him, hover above the ground! If you are in a constant state of flight, you will be able to create your leverage on any surface to move faster than him!"
Star: He stood up, his feet slowly lifting off of the ground, this state of hovering felt less restricting to him. "I could get used to this!" He looked toward Lucifer ripping his spear from the ground. He cracked his neck, clashing his fists together, "Alright false angel...Let's dance."
Lucifer: He flew up into the air, "Confidence is a fool's construct crafted by arrogance!" He darted down toward Star, his movement slicing the air and shaking the ground. He slashed Star, but the image of where he once stood became an afterimage and disappeared. "What!"
Star: He tapped his shoulder, "Hey." The energy built up in his fist as he swung at Lucifer in the chest, shattering his chest plate.
Lucifer: He spat up a large amount of blood from the impact, he grabbed a hold of Star's arm. "I will not be defeated, by a mere entity of light!" He swung at Star's face, creating a shockwave that destroyed the surrounding area for miles.
Star: His cheek sizzled from the impact, and he opened his eyes. "Oh? I- survived that?" He noticed how he was completely unphased and looked upon Lucifer's shocked face. "Yeah, I didn't expect that either. Cool right?" He punched Lucifer into the wall of Hell, and the force of his punch shattered the wall like glass, revealing a strange black and red void filled with unknown energy. "Oh shoot- SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO BREAK YOUR HOME!"
Radna: He gave him a thumbs up, "It's fine! I'm a part-timer here anyway!"
Star: "Alright cool, which means I don't have to go easy on you..." He turned back toward Lucifer, watching him weakly rip himself from the wall.
Lucifer: The red shard in his chest cracked slightly, "Ugh...you prove to be a bigger problem than how he described you!" He held out his hand, and the blade ripped itself from Radna's back but the energy remained, continuing to make the purple demon's body weak. The blade flew into Lucifer's hand, the energy from it seeming to empower his body further beyond its limits. His eyes glowed a ferocious red, "I will not allow you or him to get in the way of my master's plans! Just wait until I bring him the head of the great and almighty Star! He will give me everything I desire!"
Star: "You sound exactly like Lucium did, and it is extremely irritating!" He suddenly appeared in front of Lucifer, clashing his fist with his face.
Lucifer: He shook off the pain and slashed Star across his chest, the rage-fueled his power further. "You will fall by my hand! You are not deserving to even breathe the same air as my master!" He bashed Star into the ground with his sword, swinging with great rage. Rubble and dust flew everywhere as he continued to swing into the ground, but he quickly stopped once he realized Star was no longer there. "What- WHERE ARE YOU!?!?"
Star: "Right here!" He punched Lucifer in the chest, shattering the red shard.
Lucifer: "NO!! My gift from my master!! You will pay for that-" Before he could finish his sentence the ground began to rumble. "What is this..."
Star: "I think you have some unfinished business with the king..."
Radna: "LUCIFERRRR!!!!!!" Purple energy erupted around his body destroying the nearby terrain. His eyepatch burned off, revealing the glowing purple eye underneath his cracked face. He reached into his robe and pulled out a peculiar metal cube. He then inserted the cube inside his arm, which caused it to transform into a robotic replacement made of black steel, matching the appearance of his old arm. As the transformation was completed, steam was released from the joint of the arm, and purple energy began to glow from inside the metal. "YOU AND I HAVE A FIGHT TO FINISH YOU ANNOYING PRICK!!"
Lucifer: "No..." He backed away slowly flying up into the air.
Radna: "Oh no you fucking don't!" You threw his hooks around the wings of Lucifer, ripping them from his back. The chains wrapped around Lucifer's body bringing him back down to the ground, shaking all of Hell. He pulled Lucifer over to him, holding him under his foot.
Lucifer: "Wait! You don't have to do this, I can talk to my master about giving you a source of power as we-" He was punched in the face by Radna.
Radna: "Oh no, you don't get to turn into a little bitch just because you decided to fuck with the wrong people...I am sick and tired of you!" He roared as his arm began to glow a bright purple, Star immediately knew what this meant and surrounded himself in a barrier. He slammed his fist down into the face of Lucifer sending out a large wave of energy destroying Lucifer and all of Hell with it.
Star: He opened his eyes seeing all that remained was the black and red void, all of Hell had fallen. He looked back where Radna stood, and saw him standing over a shattered red crystal with only one shard containing the essence of the sins. He took down his barrier and walked toward Radna, stopping next to his side. "What will you do?.."
Radna: He stared down at the remaining shard, "In my past life...I would have destroyed every ounce of their being. eradicated them from this world and all that they stood for." He picked up the crystal, staring at it for a moment, before tossing it into Star's hands. "But I know some people who wouldn't want me to be that guy..."
Star: He gave Radna a warm smile before sending the shard off to The Prism. "And what of all of those spirits are they-"
Radna: "They are safe, I do not just act out of rage, not fully at least...I will rebuild Hell from the ground up, and I will ensure all of those spirits of purity are where they belong."
Star: "Hey, earlier you told me to discard my gauntlets, you knew they were limiting me somehow. How did you know about that?"
Radna: He waved his hand over his face, having another eyepatch appear over his crack. "We have much to discuss my friend, how about we talk about it over some earth coffee hmm? I've heard a lot of great things about it."
Star: He nodded, teleporting the two of them back to the mortal world.
