HoloX Headquarter: Jerusalem: Israel

Sakamata Chloe humming Atlantean song in her throat as she is wiping pool of human blood out of the office floor with newly bought mop.

Laplus Darkness and Hakui Koyori are still sleeping like usual while Takane Lui has to working on her notebook nonstop for 72 hour now. Typical company life.

Iroha is cooking their breakfast in the kitchen, or should she call them lunch breakfast? Since this is almost noon by now.

Chloe thinking for a while but decided to shrug it off and keeps on cleaning. Blood on dry land won't dissolve and gone like underwater, that's why she has to keep cleaning it

and prevents somebody to stepping on the blood and ruined their office even more.

" Another debt collector?" Koyori yawn as she is walking passes

Chloe. Avoid touching red liquid on the ground and reaching for her coffee maker.

" No! This is somebody who called himself exorcist. He claims that there is demon lord in our office and trying to banish our boss.

So, I kill him with tea spoon like what Laplus told us to do!" Chloe said cheerfully.

" I am going to shoot him." Lui groaned.

" At least blood will not splashing around the room like this, if you let me do it."

" You are too slow! He already grabbed a bottle of holy water before you could even get up from that table. That why I jumped at him!" Chloe protested.

" Anyway, Koyo. Please made body dissolving liquid after breakfast.

The quicker we get rid of his body, the better." Lui concluded.

" 'Kay…" Koyori sipping her coffee as Iroha walking passed them toward the dining table, laying a set of plates on it.

"Yo! Kazama. What do we have for our breakfast!" Laplus Darkness who just wake up not long ago walk sleepily toward the table.

" Falafel, m'lord, and grilled mackerels with rice. There should be a cookies and tea too, if Chloe haven't throwing the man's body in the kitchen-"

Iroha reported, but Laplus waved her hand at samurai to make her stop talking.

" Not now, Iroha. I need my breakfast first. Find me some fruit, avocado. If possible." Demon girl said, Iroha bowed down and walking in the kitchen in order to serving their

food.

…

" Look at the news!" After eating their breakfast in silence for a while. Chloe finally broke it by pointing her finger at the television Koyori just opened, mumbling from two

mackerels inside her mouth.

HoloX members looking at the TV and see the breaking news.

It is showing a footage Hoshimachi Suisei blasting through helicopters like they were making from paper. And a long distances video of hundreds of lightning bolts that hitting

the desert in Syria.

" Is that a star people? I never actually see them before!" Chloe said excitedly.

" No idea. My civilizations have none of their information, Iroha?" Lui shrugged.

" I am a human. Don't you remember? I know nothing about Star people more than what written in 'My Other Worldly Friend.'(PDF edition)" Kazama sorting the remaining

rice on her plate.

" Wait, that girl looks similar. Isn't she is the one who trying to apply here few months ago?" Koyori looks up from her Falafels as she speaks.

Laplus the only one who have nothing to say. Demon girl stares at the zooming picture of Suisei face and feeling the chills running through her spine as she noticed the crown

star people is wearing.

" Crown of Solomon? No ways…" Laplus muttered.

" What is it, master?" Lui asked after seeing her face.

Laplus shook her head. " It is something no one should be wearing.

I though human keeps it safe for thousands of years. Why the hell can that woman taking it?" Laplus still staring at the television after the news has changed.

" Never heard about it before. Care to elaborate?" Chloe resting her leg on Iroha's chair after samurai collecting all of their plates and go to washing them in the kitchen.

Laplus cleared her throat. " I will start with the basic knowledge.

First, you guys knows that I am a demon, right?"

" What a surprised!" Chloe snorted and stealing last piece of avocado when no one is looking, Lui hitting her hand for inappropriate acts, but not hard enough to disturb their

master.

" Okay, you noticed that every plants and animals can having a reaction when something disturbing them, right? Like when you burn your tongue or waking up if someone

shines light in your face." Laplus continued.

" Yes, master." Lui said solemnly.

" Every time when that happens. Yours body will release some kind of energy out without realizing it. Some creature from other dimensions has evolved to consuming that

kind of energy.

They are many kind of their species. But people always separate them into two groups. Those who attached to what considered 'bad' emotions like selfishness and anger will

being called 'demon'.

Those who attached to what considered 'good' emotion like selflessness or calm minds will being called 'angel'.

Evolution makes both angel and demon become enemy of each other.

They will try to convinces the creature that becomes their target to release emotion they want and consume it. Fighting over each other to be the one who control their host.

Sort of like parasitic or mutualism relationship in animal kingdom.

Up to whom you asked." Laplus explained. Koyori excused herself and go to toilet, Lui picked up her phone and start her paperwork again.

" The more animal becomes sentient, the smarter us devil and them angel become. We start building our own civilizations and having an other dimension war with those

angel. Our war is never ending since the day we have start. Trying to control sentient beings to behave like what will giving us most of their emotional energy." Laplus

continues.

Chloe yawned and rose her hand. "Is that why I am sleepy right now? Your demonic power is consuming me." Orca girl asked.

Laplus frowned. " No, you are just being lazy. The point is, in order for our survival. Demon finally finding ruler among themselves.

Separates by the most famous seven emotions we loved to consume. There are Pride, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, Greed and Envy.

Each ruler being called ' Demon Lord' and I am one of them."

" Good for you. But what kind of Demon Lord you are, though?" Koyori come back and start mixing something in her chemical tubes.

Chloe stumbles toward their sofa and rest. " Judging by my condition, she must be a sloth." Atlantean muttered.

"… Yes, I am Demon Lord of slothfulness." Laplus admitted, Iroha who finished cleaning their dishes come back to her seat and have a politely smiles for her master to

continued.

Laplus cleared her throat. " Anyways, that's not enough. Lot of being still believes that 'good emotion' like hard working and sacrifice yourself to other is a good thing.

Demons are at the blinks of losing when we finally crafting our ultimate weapons.

'Crown of Solomon' Making from ancient stones and having a hole for its wearers to put the gemstones that being condensed from the energy of our 7 emotions demons.

Those who wearing it will be able to controlled all of our demons power and the reality in this dimension as their please. We called them ' The Demon King.' " Laplus

continued.

" Wait, aren't you said that demon are coming from different dimensions? Then how can you sitting here and tell us a story?" Lui asked, Chloe is snoring on the sofa right

now.

" Seven Demon lords agree that they will take turns and wearing the 'Crown of Solomon' So no one can be the absolute in control of everything forever.

So, we switch the demon king role every centuries or so."

" Let's me guessed? Somebody don't want to give up their crown." Iroha guess as she is putting some pillows on Chloe face and finding something heavy to pressing on it.

Laplus nodded. " The demon lord of envy, Satan. Thinking that he should be the one in control of the crown forever. Of course, other demon lords aren't agreed, but their

main power are being snatched away by that crown.

A civil war happens and Satan win.

Other demon lords are either dies or running away.

I am one of those who runs from demon dimension and seek a refugee on this realm." Demon lord said.

" But why didn't Satan come here and kills you, or something like that?" Lui asked, ignoring Chloe that struggling to breathe as Iroha is sitting on the pillows that being put on

her face.

" I and some of my trustworthy friends decide to steal the crown from Satan and freeing our fellows demons lord. But he noticed us first and thing go muddy.

At last, I managed to break one piece from that crown, that is having my gemstone of sloth.

Making the crown become weaker and possible for us to finally pulled it out of his head.

But there's still some power left inside him. And I have to run away while my friends trying to protect me…" Laplus voices trailed off for a moment, not wanting to tell that all

of her friends are being killed by Satan and Laplus has to watch as the demon king is destroying her homeland and everything she loves.

Koyori finished making a body purification chemical and walking to pour it over the exorcist's body. Watching as it is melting away.

Lui gently touching her master hand.

" What's next?" She asked.

" I managed to open a portal to this world and get in here with the broken crown. I don't want to risk having all items with myself in case that Satan can crossed the

dimension toward here.

So, I give the biggest pieces of crown to some local king during the time. His name is also Solomon, funny, isn't it?" Laplus chuckled.

" Bwuahhh! What's happening!" Chloe who manages to pushing all the pillows and Iroha off her face at last asked.

" It's come to an important part. So, I think you should listen too." Iroha lied with a straight face.

" I keep the gemstone of sloth and last pieces of the crown with me.

And see the rest of that crown again, until today. On that star people lady." Laplus concluded.

" And you afraid that it will have something to do with Satan in the demon dimension?" Lui asked.

" Normally, for the being like demon and angel to come here and having a body in this dimension is almost impossible, which is why we always attach with human and other

species as our host.

I am different because my friends and families creating new body for me to used. And some human worshippers has built a statue of me too. A Baphomet or something."

Laplus nodded.

" Satan shouldn't be able to do it, unless he got a strong host, or manage to fixing his crown…"

" And you afraid that he is doing that right now. Using that woman as his tool?" Koyori asked.

" I afraid that is possible." Demon lord nodded.

" This is too big for us. I think we should call a Cover Corp, Secret Archive Unit or at least Vatican's Holy Army." Lui frowned.

" We don't have time for that. She is already close to Israel now.

Do you see how fast can that girl be? We need to get out of here and bringing gemstone and piece of crown out of this country first!" Koyori argued and bird woman have to

admit that pink coyote has a point.

…

" Gemstone is being kept inside my body. So, it should be fine. But where did I put the piece of crown?" Laplus quickly open every drawer inside her room as Iroha and Chloe

start packing their things.

But they find nothing, except from remaining of junk foods inside a wrapping papers and unpaid bills.

" Where is it? Chloe! Did you clean my drawer?" Laplus pulling her hair in frustration after walking in full circle for a while.

" No! You never said I have to." Orca girl said.

" Is it inside master's wallet?" Iroha asked after finished wrapping her nodachi and katana sword.

Laplus open her purse. " No! There's nothing here, including your guy's salary. Unless you having any idea where should it be!"

" Maybe you just bought it somewhere and forget about it?" Lui asked after she inspected the orange eyeglasses in her hands.

" Why should I carrying the weapons that can destroy everything around? I always kept it inside this room… Wait a minute!" Laplus suddenly stopped.

" What is it, Master?' Koyori asked, dragging a massive bag of chemical liquid behind her.

" Last month, when the second hand goods shop owner come here to visit our place. And I said that he can take anything he can find in exchange of some cash.

Did you lock my bedroom door?" Demon lord asked.

Chloe shook her head. " I take a break last month, going to visit my sister in Red Sea you remembered?" That is the only place where Atlantean guard didn't strict on their

rules and looks other way as Sakamata sisters swimming around and having fun with while discussing about what happened in the Atlantis, such as the fact that Gura is now

having a diarrhea after eating some Hakarl that being cooked by Chloe's little sister or something like that.

" So, there's no one home? And that shop owner just took a piece of ' Crown of Solomon and give me only 2,000 dollars?" Laplus yelled.

Lui looks at Laplus with her hawk eyes. " Did you just selling the weapons that can destroy everything to the secondhand shop?"

" Okay! Okay! That's my fault! I am sorry!" Laplus begged after Chloe, Iroha, Lui and Koyori are looking at her with contempt.

" But where is his shop, thought? In case that he didn't already sell it to someone else yet." Iroha asked.

" Wait a sec." Laplus pushing the things out of her ways and reaching for telephone directory.

" Ah, it said that the guy's name Jacob Jake has a store in Antioch.

He is that shop owner I contacted with. Let's go! We will see if the piece of crown is still with him or not!" Laplus raised her voices before turning her head toward Lui.

" Bring your new toys too, Lui. We have to go as fast as we can."

Bird woman grinned. " I got the same idea."

…

In the HoloX's hangars, Lui open and setting the alien aircraft she brought with her after she visited the ancient ruins in Colombia not long ago.

The thing looks like a mixing of fish and plane with the head and eyes for pilot to view, and four triangle fin-like wings at the side of its body. ( For more information.

Please check the word 'Quimbaya airplanes' on internet.)

The plane length is almost 30 meters long and have room for everyone in HoloX to rest, even though a bit small.

Lui knowing from her experience that this thing must be what left of her bird people civilization when they were crashing down on earth.

Of course, there's no energy core left inside the plane, otherwise it's owner will not leave the aircraft here inside the forgotten temple.

But that was like, at least 2000 years ago, when the best technologies human could come up with is the horse or wheel. In 2x century like this.

Lui just need to call for Usaken to refill its plasma energy tanks before sending the bills to Laplus's office.

And some people said that technology is bad.

Anyways, when Lui controlling it toward HoloX's office. The idea of their own aircraft and probably spacecraft too, excites master Laplus enough to agreeing of not just selling

it away.

They spend a few days flying around and checking of what this thing capable of. There are some missiles pots at the sides of the plane body, they were empty.

But Koyori said that they could put some of human-made rocket inside after inspecting it.

The plane also has it camouflage mode too, helping them to flying around without the fear of being hit by some country's missiles.

This plane can fly fast enough to touching 500 meters/ second area of speed. And everybody in HoloX agreed that it was the coolest thing they ever have.

That was until Pekora sending the bills to Laplus office and she saw the price of its fuel. The plane has no nuclear reactor inside and need to be filled with high grade plasma

energy batteries in order to fly.

Earth still haven't managed to build that kind of thing yet and Pekora must shipping them from other planets, making the cost rise above charts.

After that, Laplus ordered Lui to put the plane inside their newly build hangars before declaring that they will fly it only when necessary.

And shouldn't go above 500 kilometers/hour.

It's seemed that the event in this day is counted as necessary.

" How much speed do you need me to used, master?" Lui asked after all HoloX members is already sitting on the plane.

" Full speed. We don't have time to conserve our batteries here."

Demon lord said.

" Good." Lui smiles and wears her pilot helmet.

" Why am I here? Just for suffer?" Roboco that being chained in the copilot seat cries, after Chloe brought her here in HoloX office.

She is a little better than robotic slaves now.

" Hey! Your arms won't fix itself. And we didn't do it for free. Welcome to the world of capitalism." Orca girl smiles and hit robot girl's shoulder jokingly, Roboco wounds after

fighting with Gura in the Atlantean home planet is already gone, and Chloe's little sister sending robot woman's losing arm to their office not long ago.

So, her body is completely healed now, and without PON machine inside her body. Roboco has turning back into normal sentient Android she used to be at last.

Thanks to all these bloody HoloX.

But now Roboco is stuck within one contract she didn't remember signing, and it said that she has to work for them until she can finally paying the cost of her damages repair.

So, she is turning back into a multipurpose working robot again, only different is this time she is well aware of it. Sometimes, Roboco wonders if she should put the PON

minds controlling machine back, just to forget all of the suffering.

But where else should she go? This is a strange planet she never heard of its name before. And reading the information tells Roboco that her own Android civilizations is

already gone long ago.

If she trying to run, these people or any other aliens out there might just dissect her body and sells what left of her to the electric shop or something.

Fear is the most effective chain after all, even more than the one around her legs.

" Don't get whiny all of sudden! We will go to Turkey now!" Chloe slapped the robot harder, and after a few grunts, she is opening their world map and locking the target as

Antioch: Turkey.

Laplus took a deep breath as she stands beside Chloe at the front of the plane, looking out at the window on its eyes.

The sky is bright, and they have one of the speediest aircraft in this planet after all. There's no way that star people woman would go there before them, with or without

Satan's help.

After lifting her spirit, Laplus pointing her hand in front of her, Chloe mimicking it because that's look funny.

""Let's go!"" Orca and demon girl yelling at the same time, as their plane start moving.

…

Iroha and Lui dragging both of them down not long afterward.

" Sorry to interrupting the fun, but you guys are blocking pilot's view." Lui explained.

""I want to see more!"" Laplus and Chloe protested at the same time.
