Yup, it's true. I brought Azazel into the Misfit Universe. Here's my spin on his tale. Or in his case maybe it's tail?

Kurt's Dad is a WHAT?

"Azazel," Dr. Strange growled. "I should have known you'd have found a way to survive."

"I told you that you couldn't get rid of me that easily," Azazel harrumphed.

"Will somebody please tell me what the hell is going on here?" Logan shouted.

"Well to put it simply," Dr. Strange said. "Matt Burke never really existed. He was the human form of the demon lord Azazel."

"Demon…lord?" Xavier looked at him.

"I remember reading about you," Margali looked at Azazel. "But the legends say you were destroyed over fifty years ago!"

"Obviously they were wrong," Azazel flicked his tail. "The reports of my death were greatly exaggerated."

"You mean he's a demon?" Logan looked back and forth at Strange and Azazel. "An actual demon?"

"Yes I am," Azazel was annoyed. "Why are you so shocked? Like you I happen to be of another species other than human. Most of my kind just decided to move to another dimension eons ago, that's all."

"Mutants are human bub!" Logan snapped.

"Details, details," Azazel waved. "Like you my kind tend to be vilified for no reason."

"No reason other than the fact that you've tried to take over the Earth several times!" Dr. Strange said.

"Well who hasn't?" Azazel asked. "It's practically a requirement for a warlord to at least try to take over the planet or something along those lines. And of course this leads to several battles with the so called saviors of the planet and their ilk."

"But how…?" Hank asked.

"It's a long story," Azazel groaned. "And tedious and I don't come off very good in it."

"My master the Ancient One battled him for centuries," Dr. Strange explained. "Until one final day when he shot a magical blast at Azrael that was supposed to scatter his essence to the corners of the universe!"

"And it would have worked too," Azazel said. "Fortunately for me there was a tiny rift in the fabric of time and space that led me to this dimension. I had enough of my power to cast one final spell."

"In other words to save your life you turned yourself into a human," Margali looked at him.

"It was a desperate measure," Azazel looked at them. "That goes without saying. But it worked. I managed to transform myself completely into a human male. And I've lived as a human ever since that day."

"Are you saying the Elf is really…half demon?" Logan looked at Azazel.

"Not exactly," Azazel flicked his tail. "When I and Mystique…met, my body was fully human. However some of my demon traits were locked away in my DNA. Apparently somehow Magneto managed to unlock those traits in Kurt while he was an infant in the womb, probably mistaking those extra traits for mutant abilities. Technically Kurt's a mutant with only a quarter demon heritage or something like that."

"This is a problem," Xavier frowned. "Now we have another entity trying to destroy the Earth."

"Oh please," Azazel glared at him. "I've spent nearly all my mortal existence saving that wretched mud ball. Do you really think I'd try to ruin all my work by destroying it now?"

"You expect us to believe that you liked being human and you don't harbor any resentment towards us?" Dr. Strange looked at him.

"Actually I've quite enjoyed myself this past quarter century," Azazel grinned. "I haven't had this much fun in a millennia. Playing secret agent, saving the planet, all the fighting and adventure. Quite a challenge actually. Especially without my powers but a hell of a lot more enjoyable."

"Not to mention sleeping with everything in a skirt," Margali huffed.

"That too," Azazel grinned.

"You don't expect us to believe that the devil himself has decided not to conquer the Earth after only a quarter century imprisoned as a human do you?" Dr. Strange folded his arms.

"In the first place I look like A devil, I am not THE devil," Azazel was miffed. "I do wish people would stop getting us confused!"

"Look as fascinating as all this is we have a problem," Margali said. "The rest of our party including my daughter is missing. Can we please put all this aside until we rescue them?"

"Considering one of them is my son I have no problem with that," The Demon Lord nodded. "And now that I'm a demon lord again we should have no problems. Other than one that is."

"And that is?" Hank asked.

"Just who our opponent is," Azazel's brows furrowed. "Whoever this female is, she was powerful enough to conquer Belasco, who wasn't exactly a lightweight among demons to begin with. Even I at the height of my powers would think twice about tangling with him! We're in for a fight, make no mistake about that."

Kurt was enveloped in darkness. Then some strange smell entered his nostrils. "Blech!" He woke up and found himself being unchained by Hank. "Vas?"

"Wakey, wakey!" Hank told him. The adults were freeing the captured X-Men.

"What happened?" Scott moaned.

"Oh you were captured by the demons after Benny's spell ran amok," Hank told him. "We got separated. Got lost. Found the castle where they were keeping you prisoner. Beat up a whole bunch of demon guards after sneaking into the castle and woke you up. The usual rescue scene."

"Where's my father?" Kurt asked.

"He's…around," Azazel appeared, cutting off anyone else from replying.

"Oh great another demon!" Kurt groaned. "Just what we need!"

"Actually…" Logan hesitated. "This one's on our side."

"Azazel at your service," He grinned.

"Amanda?" Margali looked around. "Where's Amanda?"

"I don't see Barumpbump here either," Dr. Strange frowned. "Oh well at least it's not a total loss."

"If I know my demon lords, and since I am one I do," Azazel stroked his chin. "Those two are probably in the main chamber with the Mistress of Limbo. Since they are magic users they would be more dangerous than mere mutants."

"Mere mutants?" Kurt gasped. He looked at Azazel. "Demon Lords?"

"Yeah like we haven't seen weirder," Rogue grumbled. "So let's find this otherworld bimbo, get the others and trash this dump!"

"That will not be necessary otherworlder," A cold female voice spoke. "The 'Bimbo' has found you!"

Suddenly a horde of demons appeared. S'ym laughed. "Did you really think we'd make it that easy for you to escape! You fools walked into our leader's trap! What is your will my lady?"

"Leave them to me."

A fourteen-year-old girl with long blond hair and blue eyes walked into the room. She carried a huge sword and was clad in red and silver armor. She stared at them. "I am Magik! Mistress of Limbo and future ruler of Earth. Prepare to meet your fate mortals!"
