Chapter 31: Of Angels and Demons
Emi Yusa had been reading a magazine in her apartment. Nuzzled up next to her was a small baby, Alas Ramus. Alas Ramus was napping peacefully. Alas Ramus was a Yesod fragment, a powerful gem, that had taken the form of an infant. An infant that now thought of her as her mother. The lousy part was the devil that Emi was supposed to kill had been adopted as Alas Ramus' father. Since that happened and Alas Ramus merged with Emi's sword, the only weapon she had that could kill him that made things harder. Emi had her issues with the demon but couldn't force Alas Ramus to kill the man who she thought as a father.
Alas Ramus snapped awake, "Mama?"
"Is something wrong-" Emi felt like throwing up, something chilled her to her core.
Crash!
Crash!
Emi looked outside, carrying Alas Ramus and saw to the street where cars were crashing into each other. To her horror, she saw a helicopter spin out of control and dive into a building and burst into flames.
"What's happening?" Emi whispered, making sure Alas Ramus couldn't see the carnage.
0000
Emi's red hair turned to silver when she used her powers, angelic by nature, something she got from her mother. She tried to keep magic secret in this world, but as people started to vanish and accidents started to happen, she had to do something. She did her best to keep a low profile, but there were just so many people in need of help. It had been hours before things settled down.
Emi flew, she didn't do it often, but people were scared and hiding so no one would see her.
She finally made it to the apartment of the devil king, yeah, the devil king lived in a crappy apartment and worked in a MgRonalds. She thought she'd never been more surprised, that was true until today.
She was exhausted when she landed, and Alas Ramus materialized from her power. The baby dozed off in her arms, and she went inside.
Emi would give Maou, yeah, that's the name the devil king went with, a lot of grief, but he didn't have the power and wasn't that evil.
"Open up!" Emi called out as she reached the door.
Maou, a thin and black-haired young man, opened.
His clothes were tattered, and he looked tired.
"She's okay," he sighed, relieved, seeing the sleeping baby.
Emi walked in, "We've been busy trying to help."
Maou sighed, "Yeah, I figured. The cell network doesn't seem to be working.
"I figured with all the fear in the air; you'd be powered up."
"I am," He admitted, "I'm holding it back right now just to get in the door, "I burned up a lot of power trying to help. I barely just got here."
She found Lucifer in the corner looking at his computer, "It's happening all over. This entire planet."
Lucifer seemed even more detached than usual, he didn't look away from his screen, and his voice was quiet and almost fearful.
Emi realized, "Ashiya?
Lucifer spoke softly, "He's gone."
Maou crashed onto the floor, "So is Chiho."
"Chiho?"
"We were at work when it happened, she just was there, and then she wasn't. Half the people at work were just suddenly gone,"
Lucifer just said, "Bell is too, she…" his voice broke, "she was brave at the end, they both were."
"Sariel is gone too." Maou said, "I went outside to see what was happening when he came running out of Sentucky Fried Chicken, I guess he wanted to see Kisaki before… before it happened."
Emi was shocked, Sariel was weird and a hassle, but he was an angel and one who could cancel out sacred energy. She was starting to think it was something by the angels.
"If you think we did it, we weren't behind this," Gabriel, a tall man wearing a t-shirt and toga walked in, looking just as tired. "I haven't heard anything about the cause, and half the angels on this planet got wiped out too."
Usually, they'd kick him out, but they didn't have the energy, but Maou did wish he'd closed the door.
"We don't know anything, m'kay? I'm guessing you don't either."
Emi's phone rang.
"Phones working?" Lucifer shouted, "The network is down."
Emi answered it, "Hello?"
"Eme!" Emeralda answered, "Thank goodness, We need you back at Ente Isla."
They'd all come from another world, but for various reasons, they didn't go back.
Maou took the baby as Emi talked.
"This isn't a good time," Emi began.
"Eme, we need you. I don't know what happened. Albert just vanished in front of me. And it's not just happening here; it's happening everywhere, even the other continents. We thought it was something the demons did, but they're suffering too. Half their numbers just turned to dust."
Emi was shaken, "It happened here too."
"What?"
"It's happening all over."
People and two worlds fell into silence when they realized how big this disaster was.
Author's Notes: This time I did devil is a part timer I always liked the series, sad it didn't keep going with the anime. I'm still following the manga so thats something. Maybe I'll pick up the light novel.
Okay, so question. I did say I'd let you guys vote on the last chapter before I get into the story. Do you guys want one flesh out world you guys pick or one world tour of various worlds I let you guys pick but not indepth, each getting like one short scene each? Let me know in the review. Also leave a review I like hearing from you guys.
Q&A:
agrafinkel: There is a story but you guys have to wait until I get these things out of the way. Some of these worlds come into play with the story and some are request I accepted.
zachlor16: I just don't want to do the multiple universes in that series. I know you guys want me to check on Jiren and Hit too. If you want Dragonball then vote for it when there is a chance.
Game2002: Yes, I didn't like the whole plot of the woman trying to save the world by unleashing monsters and then regretting it. I didn't care for the husband. The kid and it was just boring. I actually fell asleep because of them.
Supergodzillasailorcosmo: Huh, every name in your handle is a world I visit. Maybe is Sailor Cosmo a sailor moon thing, right? Okay so your question. Remember none of the stories thus far takes place well after the snap, most are during the snap. Post snap is usually days after the snap the most a week. Most of these worlds are busy trying to get a grip on what happened and help people out. Major disasters world wide happened, and a lot of people are mourning and shaken. Let's take the SCP as an example, they are one of the first to realize that the source is from another universe. They have a lot of other universe stuff that help them figure it out. The foundation deals with a lot of stuff including reality warping and world ending stuff. So they have experience in this stuff so they weren't starting from scratch which some other worlds have to. Then there is the mourning, people are shaken SCP are a foundation used to this stuff and basically train themselves to be cold and calculating to protect their world, most other worlds we've visited can't detatch themselves like that so easily. They had everything they need to figure it out, other just don't have that yet. So basically giving a bit of time to calm down they can find the universe that started this. But even that will take a bit of time and luck to actually locate the right universe.
