The Exorcist's Training Facility

Even as she was walking up to his office she could hear someone yell. "I FUCKING QUIT!" The door slammed open and a pissed-off exorcist walked by. Wasn't that Adams's lieutenant? Lute thought. She hesitantly knocked on the door and heard a "Yeah come on in''. She opened the door and saluted. "Sir, I have compiled the new training regiment as requested". Adam looked up from some papers and said "Thanks".

Lute was about to leave when Adam said "Wait a second, you're one of my sergeants right, Flute?" Lute just sighed and said, "It's Lute, sir". Adam smirked "As you can see my lieutenant just quit and I need someone to help me handle shit. Want the job?" Lute couldn't believe it. "Yes sir" she replied. Great you're it until I find someone better. Now go get the rest of the soldiers in order. We have some training to do'' Adam said.

Exorcist Training Ground

"Attention!" Lute called to the platoon of assembled angels. Adam flew down and looked at the various masks staring back at him. While pacing back and forth Adam spoke "We have gotten a report that some of those demons might try to fight back during the next extermination. This is something we cannot allow. We have never suffered a casualty before but we cannot afford to take any chances. We have to remind those demons who's really in charge".

Lute stepped forward and Adam continued "My previous Lieutenant Lidia decided to retire from The Exorcists and I am promoting Sergeant Lute to Lieutenant Lute. She will be conducting today's training. Is that understood"? A chorus of "YES SIR '' was heard. Lute stepped up and inspected the platoon. All right, Ashley attack me like you are trying to kill a demon" Lute called out. An Exorcist flew out of formation and dived at Lute swinging her sword at Lute's neck. Ducking away from the strike Lute punched the angel in the ribs. Growling in anger Ashley lashed out aiming to cut Lute in half. Lute jumped over the strike and spun around kicking Ashley in the back of the head. Lute called out "Enough!"

Looking around Lute spoke "The purpose of this was to show you all something I have noticed in our fighting style. With every swing, we leave ourselves open to a counterattack. We fight without fear simply because we have never been killed but If these demons fight against us we very well could be. We need to remember rule one on the battlefield, we fight together. We're shoulder to shoulder on those frontlines SISTERS and no matter what we are united. I propose a brand new training regiment that focuses on defense. We need to learn to counter our enemies since we face them in close-quarters combat. The rest of today will focus on a human fighting form known as Aikido. All right, break into groups of two, and practice defending against attacks. Look for openings in your opponent's style and when one presents itself attack without mercy." Smirking, Adam looked at Lute and said "I will leave the training to you" as he flew off.

Exorcist Training Facility, Adam's Chambers

Adam landed near his chambers and slowly walked inside the dark halls. He made his way to his bedroom, once inside he picked up a picture of his former wife from his nightstand. He looked at the picture longingly. "Lilith was responsible for your death, I will avenge you. You will always be remembered…Eve".

In Hell, The Hazbin Hotel

Vaggie sat in her room thinking about yesterday's events. Charlie was able to finally go to heaven and get her meeting with the angels but that is where it all went to hell (figuratively speaking of course), not only did Sera reveal her past as an Exorcist but they were sucked back to hell without accomplishing anything. After they returned she expected Charlie to hate her but to her shock, there was only love in her eyes. She explained that everyone deserves a second chance, even an exorcist. Vaggie was thinking about Sera's threat to Charlie.

She steeled her nerves and went to unlock a chest buried in her closet. This chest contained a communicator that all exorcists have. It was designed to contact their commander if they ever got left in hell by mistake. To this day Vaggie has no idea why she kept it; after all, Adam abandoned her because she didn't want to kill an innocent soul. Although she is glad she kept it now because she had a call to make.

Exorcist Training Facility, Adams Office

Lute was walking into Adam's office to report on the Aikido training when she saw his communicator beeping signaling an incoming call. Out of curiosity she decided to look at the angel calling and was shocked to see it was Vaggie. After getting over this surprise Lute carefully picked up the communicator and accepted the call. "What do you want, traitor?" Lute spat. Vaggie was shocked to hear the voice of the angel who stripped her of her halo but kept her resolve.

"I am calling to talk to Adam Lute, where is he?" Vaggie replied. Lute sneered "I am now his Lieutenant, you can talk to me". Vaggie sighed she knew this would be difficult "Look I know you hate me but do you even know why I was branded as a traitor? Do you know what my crime was? I spared a child! I refused to strike down an innocent soul!"

Lute replied with the standard Spiel that all angels are told "There are no innocent souls in hell". Vaggie was beyond pissed at this point "YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE! THERE ARE THOSE THAT ARE HELLBORN AND THOSE SOULS ARE AS INNOCENT AS ANY MORTAL SOULS!" she yelled.

Lute truly never thought of it like that. She imagined every soul in hell was evil incarnate. After all, that was the mantra Sera had always repeated. That's what they were always told, what they were trained to believe. No! This is just a lie told by a traitor, isn't it? If this was all a lie why did a little voice inside her tell her this was true; That there were souls In hell that were innocent?

Lute took a second before replying "I am a soldier of heaven, when the extermination occurs we are all just doing our duty. We are doing the righteous work of God. We are serving with honor". Vaggie yelled in retaliation "Where is the honor in committing mass genocide?! I was a soldier that day. I knew sparing that child was against Adam's orders but a true soldier sacrifices themselves for the lives of others. A soldier defends their family and their home from threats; but what is the threat of more souls in hell? Our overpopulation problem can be fixed if we can redeem these souls and send them to heaven. We can fix these issues without erasing these souls. I may not be an exorcist anymore but I am still a soldier; I will defend my home and my love even from you".

The communicator clicked off leaving Lute alone with her thoughts. Vaggie was right, the exorcists were supposed to be honorable soldiers but they were monsters, they were just killers. Lute decided then and there to change her sisters for the better, to turn them into the soldiers they were always meant to be.

Review: This is the first chapter in my first story. I am new to writing but have been thinking about it for a while. I ask that all reviews be constructive criticism with suggestions on how to improve my story and writing overall. If you have nothing constructive or nice to say please do not leave a review at all. Don't like the story, don't read it. I know that many people loved the characters created by Vivienne "VivziePop" Medrano exactly as they were but I wanted to write a story and put my own little twist on it. I also saw a disturbing lack of substantial Adam/Lute stories so I wanted to try and rectify that. I plan to post a new chapter about once a week. While this story is going on, I plan to write an Alastor/Charlie one as well (at least at some point down the line). Best wishes all and hope you enjoy :)
