Chapter 11 is complete! Don't worry; I'm working on getting Lucifer back to Chloe, but that won't happen till either the next chapter or the one after. Enjoy and do drop me a review for this and the previous chapters! Flames, you stay away from me! Note: I gave Lucifer healing powers in this chapter cause I wanted to.
Lucifer's eyes glowed red as he raised his fists, prepared to fight to the death.
Mazikeen watched her Creator and Master fight Amenadiel. The two are evenly matched in skill as they traded blow after blow. The demoness wanted to help but thought better of it. If she were to help Lucifer in this fight, his brother would see him as weak. The Devil is many things, but weak is not one of them.
The Balance requires a soul. Maze thought as she briefly glanced at the golden apparatus. I have no other choice. I must get the detective's child's life force as a sacrifice, whether Lucifer likes it or not. The demoness decided. Maze then slowly made her way off the mountain and went off toward the Gates of Hell.
Lucifer dodged another attack from Amenadiel and punched the archangel with all his might. "Had enough yet, brother?" Lucifer spat. Amenadiel wiped off the blood trickling down his lip with the back of his hand, "Not by a longshot." The archangel said as he charged at Lucifer once more. The King of Hell summoned Hellfire and formed it into a fireball. He hurled it at Amenadiel, making a direct hit on his abdomen.
Amenadiel doubled over in pain as the Hellfire hit him. The archangel plummeted to the ground with a loud thud as he struggled to get back up. "When are you going to learn that you should never cross the Devil?" Lucifer asked as he stood in front of his brother, as the latter writhed in pain. The Lord of Hell knelt down and put his hand on Amenadiel's shoulder. He closed his eyes and a bright light emitted from Lucifer's hand as he healed his brother. When the light faded, Amenadiel stood up in bewilderment and asked, "Why did you heal me?" Lucifer tried to look nonchalant as he looked off to the side, saying, "You're my brother. As much as I hate you, you're still family. I still hate Dad though." Amenadiel then pulled Lucifer into a hug and said, "Thank you, Luci." The former Prince of Darkness pushed the archangel away, "Yeah, yeah, don't get used to it. I may save you this time, but next time, I will not hesitate to end you." Amenadiel resisted the urge to roll his eyes at his brother's empty threat.
"What are you planning to do to the Divine Balance, Luci?" The archangel asked after a brief moment of silence. "I told you already," Lucifer said exasperatedly. "I'm going to change the Balance and return to Earth so I can be with my Detective Decker." Amenadiel raised an eyebrow at his brother's words, "How are you planning to do that? The Divine Balance requires a pure, untainted soul. Your soul is not pure nor is it untainted." The archangel said matter-of-factly.
"Don't you think I know that?" Lucifer said irritably. "Mazikeen explained that I would have to sacrifice Beatrice's soul to the Balance, which I'm not doing by the way." The King of Hell said adamantly. "I think it's too late," Amenadiel said. "What do you mean it's too late?" Lucifer asked incredulously. "Maze is gone." The archangel said. "No, she's not, she's right..." Lucifer began but stopped mid-sentence as he realized that his right-hand woman isn't there anymore.
"No, she didn't," Lucifer said in a whisper. "She can't!" The Lord of Hell yelled, eyes glowing red. "MAZIKEEN!" The Devil roared as he changed into his devil form, rage filling every fiber of his being. "Luci, calm down. I will go find Maze before she can get to the child." Amenadiel offered. "Thank you, Amenadiel. If Beatrice's soul were to be sacrificed to the Divine Balance just so I could return to Earth, then I may as well not go back at all." Lucifer said solemnly. The archangel nodded as he took off in search of the ninja bartender demoness.
Can Amenadiel stop Maze from getting Trixie's soul? Keep your eyes peeled for Chapter 12, which will be written soon...I hope. Be patient with me! Oh, Chloe might get her memories back in the next chapter. Emphasis on the might. Thanks for reading and favouriting/following!
