Chapter 3
Lucifer's Wicked Gods
Everyone is shocked to see none other than Lucifer himself, he smiled after Athena asked him the question. "Your kidding me? Lucifer?" Jaden said shocked. Alexis was confused, how could he be here? "Isn't Lucifer from the Bible?" she asked, wondering what is going. Ryuho responded, "Yeah, he's the Lord of Pride, and the Leader of The Demon Lords. Also known as Satan, the King of Pandemonium." Soon, he explained what happened in his past life, that many years ago, Lucifer was the highest angel in Paradis, he was the most beautiful, and most powerful, until man came into being, and grew jealous. He formed a rebellion, and declared war, but lost, and was banished into the darkness forever. However, he never gave up his ambition, but many have stopped him, such Michael the Archangel, Athena in Greece, and Kuzuryu in Japan."
Soon, Koga spoke out, "So this Lucifer, is here in this century in our world?" Seiya bent his head down, realizing that an old event, was occurring all over again, like what happened when he was a Bronze Saint.
Lucifer saw this, and responded, "It's true that many years ago I was defeated many times before by Athena and others, but it was fortunate that I found a human host, and specialized in a particular power, a card game called Duel Monsters. He held three cards and revealed the pictures of demonic beasts, a gargoyle, a dragon, and a sphere of darkness, The Wicked Gods. Syrus was shocked, as Yuna cried out, "What are those cards?!" Jaden had no clue, and he answered, "I have no idea, but, It doesn't look good." As soon as he spoke, some sort of dark force in his heart was beginning to emerge within him.
Seiya soon spoke out in a rage, "Lucifer! Just what are you planning with those cards?!" Lucifer, soon saw Seiya and remembered him from the last time he saw him. "Quite simple really, he responded, "I plan to bring forth my reign into this world with these cards, and absorb all the dark forces to bring forth my reign of everlasting Darkness, and bring all existing life, to the my kingdom, allowing me to become, a God!"
Jaden, and Koga grew angry after hearing this, when Athena stepped in to intervene, "Don't think you can get your ways, Lucifer, get rid of those creatures!" she demanded. Lucifer just stood there and just laughed, showing he wasn't like before. He regained his composure, and agreed on condition he was defeated in a Duel, otherwise he will control everything.
Koga couldn't stand anymore as he and his friends charged right at him, only to struck down by his four men, The Fallen Angel Generals, left with harsh injuries. One of the generals chuckled, as Koga struggled to get up, one of the generals spoke up, "Don't try to do anything while we, his generals are around to protect him." Shun asked confused, "Generals?" The same general responded and brought forth they were Lucifer's Generals, but the bronze Saints wouldn't have it, and tried to fight back, only to get more damage on them, that they were knocked out cold. Jaden and, his friends ran over to help them, while Lucifer just chuckled.
"Athena, he spoke "if you don't want this to happen, then to come to my kingdom here, near those mountains." he said as he pointed at a strange formation of mountains resembling a temple, home to him and his men. Then he turned to Athena, and a ssured her, if she didn't come, then he will let the cards do the talking, and they did, as Koga started to feel like he was possessed by one of the card, causing Chazz to be disturbed, "What's going on?" he asked, as the feeling left from Koga. Now everyone was worried from the event. Lucifer explained that The Wicked Gods has the power to take control of people and use them to there advantage so they can fulfill there destiny, bring forth all light and darkness into the void. He laughed as he and his men left to return to there kingdom, while Koga and his friends were getting recovered.
Sometime later, Jaden and his friends were curious how they know him so much, when Seiya spoke out and told the group of how they fought him, which was before Koga, and his friends were even born. "It happened 21 years ago, we fought Lucifer, and badly defeated him, and making it out with our lives." Seiya spoke, remembering the event like it was still yesterday. It was pretty obvious that Seiya would never forget that event, not until The Holy Wars were finally all over. Jaden soon realized that he doesn't like to talk about it.
Jaden then spoke out, "Maybe we can help in defeating him." Athena was surprised to hear that, seeing Jaden and his friends showing confidence. Athena agreed, and the group head out to the temple and face Lucifer. As our heroes headed towards there destination, Alexis, spoke to Jaden, "You know I never thought at all something like this would happen on our vacation." Jaden agreed, and hoped that they would end the battle before they left for the Academy. However, Chazz was not at all amused, from all the events, while Syrus was growing really worried, until finally,…
"Were here." Seiya spoke out. Soon the group encountered the temple which looked like the Taj Mahal, with Ancient Egypt with Pyramids and the Sphinx resembling Serpos. A eerie voice echoed from the distance, it was Lucifer. I see you've made your decision, haven't you, Athena?" Athena responded, "I have, and you have duelists to face, if your ready." Lucifer chuckled, and responded, "I am. come to me, while your Saints take on my soldiers, and your chosen warriors can take on my Generals and me. Now come Athena." He chuckled as the group prepared to head in. Jaden looked at all his friends, and smiled, and so did the others, and the group headed in to face the darkness within. While a small dark power was emerging.
