Been disposed of
Learned about hatred
Lights above from stars slowly dying
Tokyo was upside-down. For five whole days now, strange disaster had been happening regularly. Sudden explosions, powerful earthquakes, floods, lightning coming from nowhere and hitting buildings. It was like it was controlled by something or someone.
Truth is : it was.
For five whole days, the fallen-angel Samael has been causing chaos in Tokyo, feeding off the fear and the despair of humans.
Her goal ? Making Satan, Alsiel and Emilia leave their hiding place. She could easily find them with her magic but hey, where's the fun in that ?
Standing on the edge of a building, wings unfolded, hair tousled by the wind, slitted pupils fixed on the city. A smirk flashed on her face and she raised a large horn to her lips.
"It's strange…"
"What is, Maou-sama ?"
In a small apartment in Tokyo, the Demon King Satan and the Demon General Alsiel –or Maou Sadao and Ashiya Shiro- were both reading the news.
"Those explosions and stuff, that's not normal. Plus, we didn't gather any magic even if the accidents were near."
"Someone would have absorbed it before us ?"
"I think so."
"But who ?"
Both of them turned toward the other resident of the room. Sitting in front of his laptop as usual was the fallen-angel turned Demon General named Lucifer –or Urushihara Hanzo–. He was looking out the window, lost in his thoughts like he had often been lately.
Sensing their gazes on his back, he turned slightly in their direction, eyes narrowed and suspicious.
"What ?"
Maou stood up and handed him the newspaper (bought without Ashiya's consent).
"Do you have something to do with this ?"
"Huh ? Why would I ?"
He took the news and briefly read the first page.
"Dude, why do you always assume it's my fault when something happens ?"
Ashiya jumped on his feet, ready to defend his master, but before he could even open his mouth, a strange sound rang through the whole city. A very loud and low sound, like someone was blowing in a large horn.
Instantly, Urushihara's pupils dilated and he abruptly stood up, eyes fixed on the sky.
"A monody…"
The powerful horn echoed once again.
"Monody ? What is that ?" Ashiya asked.
The fallen angel turned to face the two demons.
"It's played with a dragon horn when an angel passes away."
He turned his gaze outside again and the horn echoed one last time. Maou and Ashiya seemed to relax after that, but Urushihara didn't. If anything, he became even more nervous.
"I gotta go. I need to know who sounded the horn."
"What ? No, you can't leave the house."
"Then you go !"
His outburst startled the two demons and when he turned toward them, his pupils were slit again.
"A monody isn't to be heard on Earth. Do you think angels die here ? Don't answer, of course they don't ! It has to have something to do with us !"
That seemed to catch them of guard.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten we are demons hiding in another world ?"
"We didn't, but why would a monody have something to do with us ?" said a confused Maou.
"I'm an angel, ain't I ?"
He rarely talked about his time as an angel in Heaven, and doing it now just seemed to confuse the two other demons even more.
"Yes, and ?"
Urushihara lowered his head and clenched his fists. He said, softly, almost whispering :
"What if it's Samael ?"
Maou and Ashiya exchanged a look.
"But Samael is…"
"Dead, yeah, I know !" he cut sharply, planting his eyes in Maou's reddish ones. "But I was dead too, wasn't I ? What if she survived and thinks I'm the one who died ?"
He sounded genuinely hopeful, and it took a grand total of five seconds for Maou to make his decision.
"Alsiel, get ready. But you..." he said, pointing Urushihara "You're staying here."
"Okay."
"Don't go outside."
"Sure."
"I mean it."
"I know."
As soon as they left, a smile appeared on his lips and went back to his laptop, activating his precious tracking device, hidden in Maou's pocket.
"Maou ?"
They had run into Yusa Emi -the Hero Emilia Justina-, and literally dragged her along.
"Hey, let go ! What are you doing ?!"
"Someone sounded a dragon horn and Lucifer said it was a monody and that it was maybe Samael !"
"...wait, WHAT ?!"
It was a mistake. A huge mistake.
They had found who rang the dragon horn, and it really was Samael. But somehow, she had changed and was now determined to kill the three of them. Why, they didn't know. One thing they knew ; she had become batshit crazy.
Right now, she was hovering feet above the ground, lazily flapping her six dark wings and looking down on them with a crazy smile. Her red eyes had an eerie light in them, and magic irradiated from her body.
"Well hello there !" she greeted all too happily, and focused her psychotic gaze on Maou. "My Lord, it's been a while, hasn't it ?"
"Samael… what happened to you ?"
She softly landed in front of them, hands in her pockets and annoyingly intimating. She ignored Maou and turned toward Ashiya.
"And Alsiel's here too ! Missed you buddy, really !"
"Why are you doing this, Samael ?"
And finally, she stopped in front of Emilia.
"And last but not least, Emilia." her smile immediately vanished, and her eyes grew cold. "How've you been sleeping lately ? Do the tormented souls of those you killed come back to haunt you at night ?"
"No, they don't. What about you ?"
Emilia's harsh tone brought back the smile on Samael's lips and she leaned in until their noses almost touched.
"Every time I close my eyes."
