I'm late! So sorry. Actually was planning to quit writing this fanfic but still continue anyway...T_T
Lucifer summoned up his army of angels to fight against Michael's. Sounds of sword clashing is heard after that second. Many vanished after being pierced through by their opponent's sword, the opponents they once work with, the ones they once called friends and comrades. It seems that Lucifer had changed that all totally.
"Hum, now I see, you really are serious in taking me down, aren't you, Michael?"
"I'm always serious when it comes to law breakers like yourself, you turned into one yourself. You are blaming others on your own misery, the misery in which you created yourself! Wake up Lucifer!"
"Someone like you wouldn't understand shits of what I am going through!"
The atmosphere around the two just get heavier each time they clashed their swords onto each other. Michael have great power strength, one blow could cause serious damage to his opponent, even Lucifer. However, he is not as fast as Lucifer.
Lucifer flew past Michael a few times and lay some slashes on him, just lightly. Michael knew he was holding back, Lucifer could have done better than that. Why didn't he went all out? What in the world is he thinking? Is it something I still don't know about him?
"That's a shame, really. I guess you will then live your life as a servant forever and not receive the glory that you deserve even more." These are the words spoken by the demon Lucifer met hundreds of years ago. He is really being tempted by that disgusting being in the end. "Damn it!" is all Lucifer's thinking about now.
The thoughts clouded Lucifer's sight of vision and Michael took this chance and landed a blow of his holy sword on Lucifer's right shoulder. Lucifer let out a cry of pain and drop onto the cloud surfaces with a few turns before coming to a stop. He got up slowly with his other hand holding onto the bleeding wound tightly for any more blood loss. Before getting up totally, Michael flew down straight in full speed towards the weakened target and attacked it. Lucifer gathered up all his strength and blocked it with his own sword. The impact was so great that it even cost Lucifer to lay down on the clouds and used both his hands, one holding the sword to push as much as possible so to just not get himself killed.
"Lucifer, I can help you begged for mercy from father if you surrender yourself now!" as desperate as he is, Michael tried to convince Lucifer with those words.
Silence broke through between the two for a while and Lucifer chuckled softly.
"My lord Michael, Morning Star may have already gone insane, please be on…GAH!" A soldier under vanished without finishing his sentence.
Lucifer's sword tip charged its way towards Michael's eye. Noticing it quickly, Michael grabbed on to the sword before it reaches his eye.
"Hehe, it may be your strength to be strong, but it will be your downfall too!" Not being fast enough, Michael suffered a blow by Lucifer's huge strong left wing. It send Michael flying to the right, far away.
"Hum! Holy or what so ever, I will still heal with time despite the seriousness of my wound."
At the far end of the east gate, Michael regain his consciousness and spread out his wings ready to take off, Lucifer lunged towards him and grab hold of his neck, resulted them flying off together. Michael struggles to break free but luck is not on his side today, the grabbing just gets tighter and tightly. It seems as if Lucifer really have gone mad.
In Lucifer's mind, a voice whispered in the coldest tone ever imagined, "Yes, kill him and become the one being recognised. Even the mighty lord will be frightened and withdraw, then you will be the lord himself."
"Shut up! I don't need your damn suggestions! Just get out of my head!" Lucifer screamed to the inner being like some mad person in another person's point of view.
Like the others would think, Michael thought it that way too. It seems that Lucifer is beyond help after all. No one knows of his pain, loneliness and much more about him. He is alone and may forever be that. The idea of him starting to act like this before the whole war thing may be because of the death of Bell. She understand him more than even his own brother. She is also the only one that Lucifer speak to about his stress and problems. And now she is gone, it's a huge blow to Lucifer, he cried every year on the same day in front of her grave, even until now he still misses her. He knew death will come to her eventually, but if only he can do something to prevent this. He can, he could, if it's not for the great lord. Giving immortal life to a human is against the law. That's why he let her die peacefully just like that. Just because he obeyed the law, Bell is gone forever, why did he even follow the law that time? He have so much regrets and even more when he saw humans destroying Bell's cottage and he is not allow to stop them just because of his father's order.
Those thoughts angered and saddened Lucifer at the same time. Those mixture of feeling is projected on his left eye. He hesitated to finish Michael off and without even him knowing, Michael took out a colt sword and stabbed right through his once injured shoulder. The pain is real but Lucifer didn't feel a thing, he has already fallen deep into sleep. The two archangels feel from the sky and landed onto each other. Lucifer is unconscious, sleeping like a once little one on his elder brother. He looks like he is having a nice dream since his body is not so tense anymore. However, he would not want to wake up from the dream, it would be a nightmare he will never forget.
"You foolish little brother."
