Just another normal day in hell
He opened his eyes, focusing the black narrow pupils on the black ceiling of his room. He blinked a couple of times, while stretching his bat-wing ears. He moved the blankets, sitting on the edge of the bed, yawning and scratching his belly, before standing up and moving towards the heavy purple curtains that were standing in front of the only windows of the room. With a grunt he pulled back the fabric.
A bright red light entered the room. Satisfied, he moved toward the great mirror on the wall.
"Hi love, are you doing today?" He asked with a mocking tone at the mirror.
"Kill me already…" panted the hide of a human female, that was used as a frame for the mirror.
"Sorry, no can do." He scoffed, looking at his reflection: two meters tall, thin as a nail, scruffed black hair, bat-wing ears, red eyes with black vertical pupils, long black nails, big black membranous wings on his back, long and sharp arrow-shaped tail. That was him. He looked at the scar on his chest: an upside down star was burned on his flesh like a mark, evident against his pale skin.
"You are condemned to pass eternity here. You should have thought about that before killing your sister to take her man." He snikered to the mirror's human frame, while searching for his clothes: his favourite black trouser, his favourite black shoes, his favourite black shirt and his favourite black jacket.
"Favourite… I don't have anything else." He growled, looking at his reflex. Than turned around, grabbed his black organic-contained slime raincoat and left the room, directed toward the kitchen.
Just another normal day in hell.
When he entered the kitchen, he noticed three other creatures sitting at the dark metallic table: a muscular man in a simple dress and a short bush of blond hair was gnawing at the rest of a bone, while on the other side of the table, the other two were simply playing some card game.
"Checkmate!" exclaimed one of the two, a creature with the head of the shape and dimension of a football with long black hair, two big round eyes with tiny pupils, an enormous stupid smile, a ridiculous conic body and limbs similar to black wire, and he smashed on the table two play cards, two tarot cards and a photo, grinning happily.
The other one facepalmed, groaning.
"Remind me why I try to spend time with you".
Then he raised his frowning eyes and spotted the new arrival in the kitchen. "Oh. Morning dad."
The creature with the round-shaped head turned and smiled. "Hey Noxy, what can I prepare for you this fine morning?" He exclaimed happily, jumping towards the stove in a "kiss-the-cook" apron.
"Morning master!" waved the man, spitting the cleaned bone on the floor.
Noxfero waved at his son and his servants, falling on a chair.
"Hellish day everyone. Just a cold cup of virgin's blood Jac, I need to wake up"
The little demon nodded and poured some red liquid from a brightly colored carton in a skull-shaped cup.
"By the way, this blood is getting more and more expensive. I think we should change diet for a bit."
"What do you expect, it's increasingly rarer every day…" groaned Noxfero, resting his head on the table. "Is there something I should know about today?"
"Well yes, indeed." began Jaco, placing the blood filled cup on the table. "You have to go to Mammon's place to talk about the division of the soul of the evil millionaire that will die in two days, then you have to check the new improved torture machine at the laboratories, torture some souls, and then you have been invitated to Lilith's place tonight" listed the little demon, standing on a chair.
"Ok…no to all, except Lilith" mumbled Noxfero, chugging his virgin's blood.
"Mom called." stated the other one. A little version of Noxfero. Same hair, same raincoat, same posture. The only differences were the absence of a nose and the constantly frowning eyes and mouth.
"She'll like to see us."
"Junior, I doubt it. She is much too busy pulling the threads of chaos in the mortal world with her new boyfriend…" he snarled "What was his name Jac?"
"Ctutulu or something"
"Yeah, her boss if I'm not mistaken. I mean, they have to destroy humans bit by bit, I don't think Eris will have time for us. Sorry kiddo."
Junior said nothing, staring at the table.
"Err…listen kid, do you want to go to Mammon's place, speaking about that soul? Pondering about others pain will cheer you up."
Junior just nodded, jumping down off the chair and walking out of the room.
"Well done Noxy!" exclaimed Jaco, patting Noxfero's thigh, the highest spot he could reach. The other one just kicked him in the eye.
"If there is nothing else, I'll go read something…" groaned Noxfero, throwing the cup at Jaco's head before walking away, yawning again.
"Actually, Pumpkinhead asked if you could join him in the dungeons as soon as possible…actually, now." stated the little demon, rubbing his head.
"Hum…as far as I remember, the dungeons are under this castle, while Lilith is on another floor of hell, so, I suppose I'll go there. Move your ass, Jac." said Noxfero.
The little devil nodded and followed him, waving at the man while walking out.

-Stump-
-Stump-
-Stump-
-Sbam-
With a smash, the heavy metallic door of the dungeons flew open, thanks to the impact force of a flying Jaco that hit the door at high speed with good part of his face.
Just another normal day in hell.
"Ah, Jaco… and master Noxfero! That's perfect!" exclaimed the pumpkin headed scarecrow in a lab suit, greeting the two demons with a smile on his carved face.
"I assume the sounds I was hearing were you hitting Jaco through all the corridors, yes?"
"Indeed I was." grinned Noxfero, flapping his ears. "Now tell me, what's the matter?"
"Ah, yes yes. My newest invention!" the scarecraw declared happily, jumping towards the depths of the dungeon's cellar. Noxfero followed him, grabbing Jaco with his tail and dragging him behind them.
"You know, I was always interested by the science of portals, dimensional traveling and these kind of things. So I began studying the portals you and your fellows Archdevils create for traveling to the mortal world or to Heaven, and in the end, I managed to create a machine that is capable of…breaking the fourth wall!"
"Breaking the what now?" asked the demon, scratching his head. Sometimes Pumpkinhead would start talking stranger then usual…
"That's not important! The problem is that I don't have the energy to get it work. I tried with burning souls, but it's not enough, and I was wondering…."
"If I can power it up? No problemo. Let's be quick."
"Wonderful! Here we are, master!" the scarecrow pointed to a couple of high metallic columns, inscribed with red paint -yeah paint…shure- connected to an enormous number of cables and pipes, all leading to an orb, resting on a high pedestal.
"Ok, you just need to use your power on the orb, while i will calibrate the power over there, on the console behind the protective shield."
Noxfero nodded, placing his hands on the orb while Jaco, who had placed himself in one of the large pocket of the raincoat, was looking with curiosity at the two columns.
"Ready when you are!" shouted the scarecrow, now wearing protective googles.
The devil looked with boredom at the orb, while his powers began to rise, engulfing his form like a dancing shadow. It flowed into the orb, which began crackling and sparkling.
"Ok, flow of energy constant… keep it up, master."
The shadows continued whirling around the demon's form and the orb, while the paint on the columns began to glow and the cables began buzzing like a hive of killer bees. Blue sparks began to slide between the columns. Pumpkinhead was pressing something behind the shield, while the energy level was increasing.
With a flash and a booming sound, a blue-white colored vortex appeared between the pillars, howling furiously as dust and some papers were sucked in into.
"AH! I did it! I'm the master of all the scientists! Did you see that master? We could travel anywhere! Muahahahah!"
Jaco raised his eyes, while the raincoat was flapping, moved by the air being sucked in the vortex. Noxfero still had his hands on the globe, a terrified expression in his eyes.
"Pumpkinhead! Stop the machine!" shouted the little demon.
"Uh? Why?"
Noxfero suddenly shouted: "It's sucking all my powers! Turn it off! Turn this thing off!" The devil tried to pull away his hands, but they were glued to the orb's surface.
The scarecrow began tapping on the console, while he began to panic.
"It's all under control boss, don't worry! Let's pull this and…"
The machine roared, and the gentle wind of the vortex transformed in a typhoon, while the orb was shining.
"The fuuuuuu!"
The orb exploded, sending Noxfero to the ground. The devil planted his black nails in the ground while the vortex sucked in the shattered orb and pedestal, trying to fight the power of the vortex.
"Resist master, the power is fading, resist!"
Noxfero grunted, then turned when he heared a scream: Jaco had fallen out of his pocket and was now trying to resist the vortex, but his pathetic little fingers couldn't resist the power of the wind. His fingers slipped, and began to fly towards the vortex
Noxfero groaned, then freed his claws and drifted toward the little devil, grabbing him with his tail while being sucked into the blue-white shimmer.
"Nox! You really care about me!"
"I'm already regretting this!"
The last thing he saw before he blacked out due to a sudden pain was the image of the dungeon beginning to collapse, the pipes dislodging, the columns falling and the scarecrow shouthing something in distress.
Then, he blacked out, accompanied by Jaco's girly scream.
Just another normal day in hell… more or less…
