Elias had learned a lot from Lucifer regarding his demonic abilites. Elias was confused though, as he was easily able to use the energy to power up his body without much effort. The straining and screaming Lucifer had exhibited was wholly unnecessary, as was the weird way his hair stood up on end. Elias could do it, of course, and he actually found it looked quite cool, which he supposed was Lucifer's point.
"Looking cool is the more important thing." Lucifer had said, and while Elias didn't filly agree with that, he didn't disagree that looking was neat.
The form he achieved was much similar to Lucifer's, although his much longer hair caused him to seem much taller than he was. His hair also turned white, like his skin, as opposed to staying thy same black and red. He was much stronger in this form, and even when Lucifer threw punches at him that shattered the foundations of the building they were in, it didn't even phase Elias. Lucifer actually had wide eyes at this.
"Incredible." Lucifer said.
As they continued to work on Elias's power, Lucifer suddenly blinked, and then shook his head.
"Damnit. I would have hoped we had more time." Lucifer said.
"What do you mean?" Elias asked.
"My wife is coming. I may have shook the realm a few times with some of my attacks." Lucifer said, then he shrugged.
"Oh well. I'll show you one last thing. You're gonna need it once you get back home." Lucifer said, and that actually made Elias perk up.
He was really going to be able to go back home. After all of this time, he could finally go home. He had a few things he needed to take care of. When Elias thought about Tia, and then about the asshole she was with, a surge of anger sparked in his mind, and the realm shook once again.
"Hold your horses there, cowboy. Now, as you may have gathered, going back to Earth looking like you do might cause some issues." Lucifer said.
Elias really hadn't thought about that, but now that he was, it definitely made sense. Doing something about his appearance was probably a smart idea. He did think his new look was pretty nifty, but it was good to stay under the radar for a while. He knew he was powerful now, but just how strong was he compared to the Supers? The heroes and villians of Earth had a wide array of abilities that could prove a problem, even to him.
"I know what you're thinking. Don't worry. Moraxus was stronger than anyone that your planet has, and well... you see how that turned out. Besides, you have something they none of them have." Lucifer said with a grin.
"What is that?" Elias asked.
Lucifer pointed at me.
"Plot armor."
"Huh?"
"Now, just like with your other abilities, you should be able to will your body to change back to your original form. Most demons can do this, although you will still retain your power. It's a purely cosmetic change, and quite simple to accomplish. Here, watch me."
Elias blinked in confusion at Lucifer's weird mannerisms. It was almost like he was talking to Elias as if he was some kind of comic book character. It was all very confusing.
Elias watched as the red aura was sucked into Lucifer's body, not even hinting at the fact that it was even there anymore. Elias could still feel his energy levels, although it was rather muted, which was a pretty nice touch. His horns retracted back into his head, and the flames that were present in his eyes vanished, and now, he looked like a normal slimey busniess man. Or some kind of lawyer.
"Well, pretty awesome, right?" Lucifer asked.
Elias nodded, and gave it a try himself. The change felt almost instantaneous, and he blinked quickly as he didn't really feel any different.
"Jesus kid, you're a natural." Lucifer said, and then produced a small mirror. "Check it out."
Elias did just that, and saw that indeed, he looked much the same as he had when he was completely human. He said much the same, because there were a few noticeable differences.
First of all, his face was just more handsome than it had been previously. He prided himself on looking pretty good despite not having any abilities previously, but now, would honestly rate himself at least a 9 on a scale, but that was just him being humble.
Secondly, his hair was now the same black with red mixed in, although the red was slightly less pronounced. Still, Elias was fine with this change as it looked really unique, and he would admit, there was a cool factor to it as well.
Last, but certainly not least, his eyes were blood red, and if he peered close enough, he could see black flames burning in his iris. It stood out a bit, not not too much that he thought he was going to have any problems.
Lucifer sighed, and then he gave Elias another smile.
"Well kid, this was truly a pleasure. My wife will be here at any moment, and you really don't want to be here when she shows up. I don't think you can beat her right now. You're strong, but so is she, but she has millions of years of experience. So, you must train hard, and become stronger. I know you can do it. I don't know how, but you will, I'm sure of it." Lucifer said, then a small portal opened up before him and he reached inside, "Here, one last gift from me."
Lucifer held a small bag in his hand, and he preformed an excellent underhanded throw that Elias caught. Once he had the bag in hand he opened it, and eyes opening in surprise, he pulled out the contents.
"My phone and wallet? And what's this? A crystal?" Elias asked, and Lucier smiled again.
"Recording crystal. Just shove some energy into it to activate it. But, when you get home. And don't worry about that guy that shot you. He's... not feeling well. You'll find out. We're out of time. It was a pleasure, Elias Mason. Now, go and help your sister." Lucifer said.
Before Elias could even reply, a portal opened up beneath his feet, and with a startled yelp, he fell through it.
Lucifer looked at the spot where Elias had been transported for a while, before he sighed and closed the portal.
"I really hope you can pull this off. I don't know how you are gonna do it, but you got spirit, kid. Just do your best." Lucifer said, then he looked straight ahead. It was almost like he was looked at...
"What do you think, dear reader?" Lucifer asked, then gave a devilish grin.
"LUCIFER! WHY ARE YOU DESTROYING MY REALM? I DEMAND A FULL EXPLANATION AND A GOOD A FUCKING RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" An angry female voice resounded through the entire realm, causing it to shake, and millions of tortured souls to scream.
Lucifer winced, but then he just gave a lopsided smile.
"Well, I mean, it's not all bad."
