Chapter 26 - Power In Exchange for Arrogance

Aurora Morningstar smiles while the flames of Hell bright light to her beautiful body. She is adorned with luxurious silk pajamas with demonic insignia. She smiles as she walks out of her penthouse that floats above the cityscape. She smiles, running her fingers on the finest satin weaved by bad children. She smiles as she opens her massive windows and sees the fires of her glorious empire.Aurora stares at the mirror. "You are the Devil. You will be the Devil. You are a goddess among men. You are the rightful heiress to the throne. You are the Queen Bee. You are better than Prometheus. Prometheus will and always will be rightfully yours and for your heart alone." She then repeats this paragraph over and over.Aurora then brushes her hair, counting, "1, 2, 3..." each set.Aurora would then begin exercising while angrily staring at Prometheus with his two wives and husband. She growls angrily and maniacally.Aurora sits on her table. A waiter wraps cloth around her neck and she is served lobster and a massive cut of Wagyu steak.Aurora smiles, as she sits down on her throne.A camera activates before her."WHAT'S UP, GUYS!!! TODAY, I'M GOING TO SEE WHAT IT WAS LIKE DURING THE BLACK DEATH BY TESTING IT ON OUR ENEMIES!!! WHY!?!? TO MAKE SURE THIS EMPIRE IS SAFE!!!"After shooting the video, Aurora then sighs, scrolling thru social media while her advisers in Hell, terrible demonic entities such as C'thulu and Paimon try to negotiate terms with each other only for Aurora to reply with, "Uh-huh... Wow... Yeah. Amazing. Sure," the entire time.Later, Aurora turns serious wit better training, doing spin attacks and dodges and practicing her black bubble magic, practicing several techniques where she ends up accidentally blowing a planet up."Oops... That's a cosmic lawsuit..." she laughed.Aurora then finishes her morning routine by checking which business suit should we wear: White and red or black and blue.Later... Aurora then ends up in a virtual meeting with a beaten-up Prometheus and the Reaper."WHERE IS HE!?!?" roared the Reaper."Aw! Your Reaper's quite huffy! Teach your dog to bark properly, would you?" smirked Aurora."Where is Miguel!?" asked the Reaper."Reaps... Calm down..." said Prometheus."Oh, he's fine! Don't worry!" smiled Aurora. "I promise! It'll be like taking a trip to the dentist!""He's still alive..." said the Reaper."Yes. But not for loooong!!!" she smiled singsongy."What do you want? We'll give you anything..." said the Reaper."I want Prommy to break up with his concubines and eunuch to be with ME!!!" she sneered.The pair pause awkwardly."Ew," said the Reaper.Suddenly, the scenery switches to the entire audience of the SLRU high school in Main World watching this from the school."I'm sorry, WHAT!?!?" asked Jess. "WE'RE DYING BECAUSE AURORA WANTS TO GET IT WITH PROMETHEUS!?!?"Back to the scene... Prometheus and Aurora argue with each other."GODDAMN IT, AURORA!!! I DON'T WANT YOU!!! I DON'T... LOVE YOU!!!""THEN I'LL KILL HIM!!!" cackled Aurora. "F-... For the betterment of the worlds... Yeah... *Ahem...!* Buh-BYYYYE!!!"She logs out.The Reaper roars. "YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH-!!!"Aurora smiles. "Ah... Capitalism and blackmail! Two of the most beautiful things humanity invented!"Meanwhile..."GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!" roared Miguel. "AAAAAAAAAAAH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" he cried, trying to snap the needles off of his body. He sighs. "Shit..." He closes his eyes. "Hey... Mr. Nazarene? If You're hearing this, I want to say I'm sorry... I'm sorry for being... kinda aggro and mean... and... being what my bullies were to me... no... us... I just want to say that-..." Miguel's hair suddenly glows light blue, swimming in the air. His eyes also glow light blue. "Whoa..." he said, before powering down.Miguel breathes in and thinks about something. "Maybe I got a little carried away... I hurt the people I cared about..."He began powering up."Whoa...!" He meditates again, since the ability disappears. "I hurt my friends... I really am a bad guy... But I CAN BE BETTER!!!"Miguel begins powering up.???: "Oh no, you don't!" Miguel's eyes are forced to open simply from Aurora's glance.Miguel is forced to spit blood out because of Usog."Hello, Miguel!" smiled Aurora."Aurora! You fiend! WE MEET AGAIN!!!" yelled Miguel. "I-I-I mean, at last...""Oh, be quiet. I have traveled tens of thousands of worlds to find you," smiled Aurora."Yeah? Well-...! I traveled... Two... Is it two? Only TWO WORLDS to find you!" Miguel's glow flickered."Humorously confident of you to challenge the Devil!" she sneered, leaning her face before his and making him blush."Uh... I am... confident...""Hm... I'm glancing at you with significant strength with my Usog and you don't seem to be getting injured... Not at all..." Aurora smiles and squeezes his biceps.Miguel blushes. "Hey! Get off me! I'm 16, weirdo!""Hm... Not as bulky as I'd thought... Transform for me, would you?""Aswang? Diwata form? What?" His glow flickers once more."Just transform..."Miguel transforms into an Aswang. Askal dog head. Dark blue fur. Giant dragon-like bat wings. Monkey tail that extends. Prehensile forked tongue that also extends. Acid spit. Thousands of needle-like fangs. Black eyes with light blue glowing pupils. The joints of his wings click together to make a ticking noise like a traditional Filipino Aswang."Hm... Muscles seem bigger than a regular Aswang... You have been training indeed! Well-trained, as I asked for Prometheus! He is a master of his craft, after all! Hmhmhmhm..." she paced around Miguel. "Transform into your Diwata form..." Miguel gains glowing blue hair and glowing blue eyes. Dark red mouth, neck, and underbelly. Dark blue fur surrounding the dark red fur. His wings become light blue feathers. His becomes more muscular and tall.Aurora smiles, clapping and laughing. "Hahahaha! Splendid! Splendid, indeed!"Suddenly, Miguel begins shaking and is held in the sky by Aurora's glance.Aurora growls. "Sadly, I'm ANGRY!!! Do you know WHY!?!!?" she roared, as some of Miguel's veins popped and blood began pouring out. He even transforms back into a Human. "DO YOU!?!?""Uh... You need to take a pill and have therapy?""YOU... HAVE NOT BEEN PERFECTED!!!" yelled Aurora. "FAR TOO ARROGANT!!! FAR TOO DISRESPECTFUL TO THE USOG!!! TO GOD!!! I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS!!! I WANT A REFUND!!!"Miguel's nose begins bleeding. He begins screaming and crying tears of blood. "I... am... not... A PRODUCT!!! NOT... A PRODUCT!!!""Fine!" She lets go. "I want you to train...""Wh-What...?" asked Miguel.Aurora stomps her feet like a child. "TRAIN!!! I WANT YOU TO TRAIN, NOW!!! NOW, NOW, NOW!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!"Miguel is let go from the chair and falls to the ground. "I... want... food..."Aurora kicks him to the ground. "You'll GET your food when YOU'RE IMPORTANT TO ME!!!"Aurora kicks him over and over again."I can't use... Usog properly... If I'm hungry..."Aurora cackles and laughs hysterically, but immediately stops. "Oh, right! Fuck... Forgot about that bit...! Hm... Chicken and waffles? Chicken and waffles!""You crushed my rib..." grunted Miguel."Ha! You're not crying! Prometheus used to cry! Huh... Looks like he's good at disciplining toddlers! Anyway, lemme help you up!" Aurora uses a bubble to grab his foot and drag him across the floor.He groans and whimpers uncomfortably."You're gonna LOVE it here! Nice view! And I could eat a lobster while you're at it!" smiled Aurora.Later...Miguel smiles as he gorges an entire entre of food. A chicken bucket, a tray of wings, Teriyaki chicken, chicken nuggets, Chicken Inasal, Honey-Glazed Chicken, and lots (and lots) of waffles and Maple Syrup, all stacked before him while Aurora excitedly bounces her leg while grinning from ear-to-ear in excitement.Miguel turns to Aurora and stops. "Whut...?""Oh, nothing! I'm finally gonna get what I want!" she blushed, smiling."Cool!" smiled Miguel, eating more food. He stops. "Wait... Like... Food? Is that what you've been waiting for? Food?""What? N-!""You can have the other half! I don't think I can finish it all...""No. Dude. I want to train you and THEN I'm going to kill you.""Pfft! No, you won't!"Aurora grabs him by the neck. "EXCUSE YOU!?!?"Miguel burps. "My fam would save me! Mr. Reaper. Mr. Prometheus. Jed. Anna. Lord. Haps. Thenes. Gerard. Fred. All of 'em will save me. I know it! I can feel it in my jellies!" he smiled, optimistically."HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" she frowns. "No, they won't.""Sure they will!" smiled Miguel. "Because if that wasn't the case, why are you rushing me?""Excuse YOU!?!?" roared Aurora."I can take aaaall the time I need..." smiled Miguel. "Besides... You need my PERFECTED blood, right? Do you realize how much fat is in this chicken. That's like... Fatty blood!""More ways to burn the fuel," frowned Aurora."Yeah! But in Prometheus' discussions, Splooge becomes more uncontrollable and more flammable that way! You shouldn't have given me the fried chicken! Shoulda just given me... regular chicken... Plus waffle's buttery.""GAH!!!" roared Aurora, slams the table."Dumb dumb!""24 HOURS!!! 24 HOURS PURIFICATION!!!" roared Aurora, standing up and pointing to his face."Nah," smiled Miguel.Aurora slams the table and glances at him, choking him. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?!?""P-Probably gonna be your worst nightmare. S-S-S-Since I p-piss you off-ff this much!""Fine..." she smirked, letting him go. "Cocky, are you? I'll give you 12 hours. Or I'LL PERSONALLY train you..." she sneered."W-Wait! I didn't mean-!" She kicks Miguel down. "12 HOURS!!! Now, go to your room!!! NOOOOOOOW!!!" she howled, as Miguel is carried away by her guards."Ah, crap..." said Miguel.
