Chapter 13
AN: Hey guys here is the next chapter. hope you enjoy.
Lucifer glared at her venomously, "How do you know such an old challenge?"
"Doesn't matter, what is your reply?"
"What are you terms?"
"I win you and your army leave and never come back to Earth. You win you get the Samento." Alex replied.
"You just said I have no honour what makes you think I will hold up my end of the deal?" Lucifer smirked.
Which she returned evenly, "It is of the ancient language this challenge; you know the penalty if you break it."
"Very well, as you said it is an ancient challenge. I cannot refuse." He smiled.
He didn't even pause; his sword appeared out of nowhere and travelled in a downward arc. Alex only just managing to dodge the blade, but his fast reactions had him change tact without hesitation. Before the stroke had even finished, his wrist flicked its razor sharp blade sideways. Alex deflected it with her blade; surprising her opponent when it didn't shatter under the force. She closed the distance between them, shoving him back using the leverage of her entire body. Sending Lucifer fly in reverse; making him back flip, mid-air, to land on his feet again facing her.
"Who are you?" He stated then charged enraged that she was still alive.
He smashed into her and they both tumbled off the building into the street below. The fighting had stopped on the street and those on the street were staring at the fight that was procrastinating in front of them. Steve was directing the NYPD to evacuate the citizens in the buildings around. Lucifer stood up and smiled at the dust from where Alex fell,
"I win. Give me the girl…" He was propelled into the wall across the road.
"Not quite."
"Who the hell are you?" He roared,
"I am a bit offended you don't recognise me. Have I changed that much… brother." Alex chided
"Gabriel?"
"No guess again," She laughed. "You honestly thought He wouldn't defend Earth?"
"He would send Gabriel or Michael. But if you are not Gabriel- and certainly not Michael- He has changed your appearance. Maybe if you revealed yourself I would know." He demanded, and with that Alex's smile faded. Noting the change Lucifer smirked and laughed, "You do not know how to change back. Join me. He sent you here to die -no back up…" He tutted, "And you cannot even change back to protect yourself. Together we would be a force to reckon with, I will even give you this lousy planet to rule." Lucifer offered, with snake like charm.
Alex looked at him and he felt he was winning her over.
"I will not turn my back on Him." Alex declared.
"Then you will die in this human state. Like the fallen." He retorted and charged.
Alex stood there waiting for him.
"Fight!" Romanoff shouted to her, but Alex just stood there, dropping her daggers. A human that was in his way ended up dead as he continued his charge, his black wings opening up and he jumped in the air, thrusting his sword down beneath him. There was a loud clang as Lucifer was repelled.
"You stand mistaken Lucifer He has not left me." Alex said her flaming sword in hand and she was in full battle armour. On her armour bore the Earth as her crest.
"Ariel… I am surprised that He sent you." Lucifer chided, "In fact you were the last of the Seven I thought He would send."
"I don't know if I should be offended by that."
"In fact I heard you were supposed to be at home." Lucifer laughed with false humour.
Ariel scowled, "You do not get to call that home."
"So the only reason you would be here, is if you were doing something for a certain someone-someone higher on the hierarchy table then you. Protecting someone's daughter perhaps? I know who the Samento's mother is, so why is she not the one here to protect her child? Maybe it's because she has not yet been granted another body." He smiled.
"You're fishing… I hate fishermen," Ariel commented and they fought again in a blaze of flames. There movements were a blur. It was Ariel that brought it to a halt by disarming Lucifer. His sword flung across the road- missing Barton by inches. Ariel had her sword drawn directly at Lucifer's throat. The flames leaping up and burning his skin. He ground his teeth in pain, but it was Ariel that gasped. One of Lucifer's lieutenants had snuck up behind her, stabbing her in the back with a wooden staff. She looked down and saw the other end extended out of the front of her chest.
