Satan is getting better acquainted with Lincoln as they were talking some more. The white-haired kid was still nervous about being near him because of his explosive temper that he had just displayed in his living room two times. Still, Lincoln is a careful guy and he still kept his composure. "Ten sisters, huh?" asked the King of Wrath. "Huh. Must be a fucking nightmare to have ten siblings in your life."
"Well, they're still my sisters, and... yeah, it can be a never-ending battle in my own house. Sometimes, i just need to get away from all the noise."
"Yeah, i feel that." Satan chuckled. "Definitely doesn't sound like the easiest lifestyle to survive in. Yet, here you are, looking sane and healthy. I'll give you a shit ton of credit for that, Lincoln."
"Siblings. Am i right?" said the boy with a smirk
"Hahaha! You don't know half the shit I go through with my own siblings." the King chuckled. "Bee and her parties, Mammon and his sneaky-ass behavior, Asmodeaus with his overly-flirty attitude, Leviathan with her endless gossips. She doesn't doesn't know when to shut the fuck up or stop talking behind anyone's back." and a bitter look appeared on his face after. "Not to mention Belphagor for being so lazy and unmotivated. Would it fucking kill her to just be more active and not behave like a fucking sloth?"
"I guess they drive you crazy too."
"That's an understatement."
"Yeah but at least it's six siblings, and i have more than you."
"True. That's true, but your sisters don't have cosmic powers like we original sins do. You're humans. Mortal beings. So i can't imagine you kids shooting fireballs at each other or created cocaine-mixed candy to prank on one another."
"But what about Lucifer? Don't you guys get along?'
Satan was silent for a while after this question, and finally said: "Look, he is my brother, and... we do get along and at times, we have our disagreements. But, I wish he was a more proactive leader like I am." Lincoln frowned hearing those words. "Lucifer is... a weak leader. Sitting back and enjoying his ducks and rubber duck collection. But I, on the other hand, am a far better king, and I should be the true ruler of Hell."
"I probably shouldn't have brought that up." Lincoln admitted with a nervous voice.
"No, no, it's all good. With me in Lucifer's throne, i can give Hell the proper makeover it deserves. Ridding it of corruption and more job opportunities for those looking for work. Not to mention; better punishments for sinner demons who committed the most serious offenses when they were alive. Something like clipping their balls to the wall, or castrating them with the sharpest-"
"OK! Stop, stop, stop!" Lincoln looked very grossed out. "That is way too descriptive. You're making me not want to eat anything for the rest of the day."
"Right. I forgot that you humans have sensitive stomachs. Sorry I guess."
"No problem. I've seen way scarier things. Especially when it comes to Hell."
"I bet you have." Satan smirked.
"don't even get me started on what happened to me on Halloween."
"Oh Bee told me about that before. Yeah, pretty crazy shit. Saving your family from evil aliens, teaming up with a hunter alien to save them, getting a badass sword, definitely a crazy-ass night to remember."
They both stopped at what appeared to be a man cave with a pool table, an old-fashioned jukebox from the eighties, and many band posters both from Earth and in Hell, including Katie Mayday. There was also a personal fridge for his booze and drinks.
"Welcome to my man cave, little man." Satan boasted. "Want a drink."
"Well do you have any non-alcoholic drinks? I'm not allowed to drink alcohol."
"Right... let me look. In the meantime, have a seat."
As Lincoln did just that, Satan did find a small bottle of "Auntie Cum's Root Beer" for the boy to have.
"Here you go, on the house." He threw the bottle to Lincoln's right hand. "And another reason why i brought you here is because: i have a proposition for you."
"What kind?" Lincoln asked curiously
Smiling, Satan said: "how would you like to create a theme song for me?"
"A... theme song?"
"Yeah. You have quite the pipes in your throat. So with it, you can create a perfect theme song with heavy guitars snd drums, and it can boost my credibility."
"Will I... get paid for it?"
"Of course. I will pay you handsomely for it. How much do you want?"
"Maybe... five hundred?" Lincoln tried to be reasonable.
"Done, i'll pay you five-hundred thousand dollars dkr it." This response made Lincoln spit and choke on his drink, and he began coughing over and over again until he took another sip to clear his throat.
"Sorry. I was a little... surprised." Lincoln gagged. "Not that i'm not grateful about the reward, but-"
"No, i get it. Look, i'm sure Lucifer and Bee told you some shitty mean things about me, but; i'm a compassionate demon. And i am certainly not like a pure evil being as the Bible depicts me as."
"So when is the deadline for a song about you?"
"Twenty-four hours."
"What?! A whole day? Songwriting's not easy and stuff like this takes time."
"Then i suggest you put your body and soul into this work. And, you being a kid will NOT excuse you, jsut so you know." Lincoln gulped at Satan's response
"So what if i'm unable to succeed?"
"Then i'll eat your sisters as a punishment."
Lincoln's heart sank and he shouted: "what?! But, they have nothing to do with this! You can't possibly eat my sisters! I won't-"
"Silence!" Satan bellowed in a booming voice, making Lincoln jump on his butt. "How dare you shout to me like that?! I am Satan, the king of all-!" Then he paused, realizing that he lost his cool again. Taking a deep breath, he said in a calm voice, "Sorry, lost my cool again. But yes, twenty-four hours is final. And there is nothing you can do or say that will make me change my mind."
"Ok. I'll figure something out. I... i am a man with a plan, after all."
"Fucking A! Good luck, and make it the best song i can listen to."
Meanwhile, the sisters were a little concerned about Lincoln's well-being. "Dude, what's taking Lincoln so long?" said Luna. "I hope our bro is ok."
"You and me both, Loona." said the female hellhound. "If anything happens to Lincoln, i'll never forgive myself."
"You and us both." Said Leni. "He's our only brother."
"He's lucky that he gets to be alone with Satan right now." Lucy admitted. "Me sitting in a balcony with him, alone."
"Keep dreaming Lucy." Lynn nodded her head.
"Lincoln really has a way of making friends in high places, doesn't he?" Said Octavia
"With his ancestors being royalty in Scotland," said Clyde, "i wouldn't be surprised. But i'm friends with royalty too." He smiled at Octavia and Stolas
"Indeed. And we always enjoy your company, Clyde." Stolas smiled. "Though i do wonder what is happening between Lincoln and Lord Satan myself."
it was just then Lincoln and Lord Satan came down the stairs. "Ah, there you are, kiddo." Said Blitzo
"I really enjoyed Lincoln's company. You are all free to go." Satan said. A couple of his guards opened portals for everyone to go back to their normal lives. Before Lincoln could go with Loona, he was stopped by Satan. "Rememebr Lincoln, make sure the song is badass for me by tomorrow."
"Got it."
"What's he talking about, Lincoln?" Asked the female hellhohnd in concern
"I'll explain when we get back." Lincoln smiled nervously.
