Part 12 (Chapter Twelve: A Lady Request)
Silence.
The beckoning sounds of people screaming.
And Lucifer was in the middle of the chaos.
Lucifer: gasp!
He opens his eyes to realize that he has reached the other side of the portal. Skylar was waiting for him.
Lucifer (to himself) : damn was I...Daydreaming or something...?
Skylar tilts her head and frowns. "Are you alright..?"
Lucifer: yeah...
He looks around. The scenery is very pleasant.
Lucifer: I suppose this is where Ignora resides...
He flies around the town. Many people were on the grounds.
Skylar: "Okay.."
Skylar follows after him, flying too.
Lucifer: let's see...Where is-
Suddenly his eyes widens and he gasps at the sight of-
Lucifer: CHICKEN AND RICE!
Immediately he turns to the direction of the store where the smell of chicken and rice is coming from.
Lucifer: AAAAAAH I'm so hungry!!
Skylar sighs, and shakes her head. "Seriously? You're really overreacting.."
Lucifer ignores her and stared at the restaurant's window. A few people were eating inside.
Lucifer: Woah...Such elegant bowls...
Then suddenly a thought came up in his mind.
Lucifer: wait a minute, where are we? They don't look like angels or demons to me...
Skylar: "You actually do have a point there.. I don't get that, though. It's not like they're doing what we did on Earth, where we changed to humans for a bit, because surely only being on Earth can make them do that.."
Lucifer turns to look at her.
Lucifer: Ignora is an angel; she can disguise herself in a crowd..
He lets his eyes scroll down the long pathway of people. There were market stalls stacked up side by side as people walk back and forth window shopping and looking at charms, books, and necklaces.
Lucifer: maybe she's in one of the stalls...
"Are we looking for her? Cuz... we can just look around everywhere if we don't find her there. There is a lot of people... so the chance of her being there is pretty small." Skylar said.
Lucifer: eh...I suppose you're right. But why would the portal send us here then?
Suddenly, someone amidst the crowd shouts.
Stranger: all aboard!
Stranger2's kid: hey mom! The cart is going to leave soon!
Stranger2: Hold on sweetie...
Eventually their voices merged with the crowd.
Lucifer: cart?
Lucifer flies towards the large cart. Up close, he sees a few angels standing around it.
Skylar follows after him, curious to what was going on.
Lucifer: hey Skylar, should we follow that cart and see where it is heading?
"Yeah, we should." She replied.
Lucifer: we..Should disguise ourselves..
He transforms back to Urushihara.
Urushihara: we gotta blend in with the crowd ya know?
Skylar then transformed to her human self and nodded. "Yep~"
The cart begins to leave.
Urushihara was about to jump onto it when the angel guards block him.
Angel1: Your ticket?
Urushihara: Haaaah.....t-ticket?
Angel1: hmm...
The angel squints his eyes.
Skylar stood next to her brother awkwardly.
"Umm..."
She bit her lip as she tried to think of something to say to get them on the cart.
Suddenly the angel guard gasps and points his spear at Urushihara.
Angel: follow me.
Urushihara:......HUH?
He looks at Skylar, confused. The second angel guard looks at Skylar.
Angel2: You are Skylar, correct?
Skylar nodded nervously. "Yeah.."
The first angel nods to the second one.
Angel1: follow me.
Urushihara: um...Are we in troub-
Angel1: Hush!
Urushihara: ......
Urushihara starts to follow the angel.
Skylar follows uncertainly after them.
The angel continues to walk with Urushihara and Skylar; an hour or so passed and finally all of them reached a huge white building in the middle of a grassy field.
Urushihara: this feels nostalgic...(sarcasm)
Skylar glanced over at him.
"Oh, really? I totally feel nostalgic too, I couldn't guess why." She said to him, sarcastically.
The angel bends down to his knees as the door of the building opens.
Angel: Milady.
Urushihara looks up.
Urushihara: ...!!!!! You-
Ignora nods to the angel and then turns her head to the siblings and smiles.
"Hello Lucifer, Skylar."
Skylar shook a little in rage and glared at her.
Urushihara: M...M- Ignora?
Urushihara transforms to Lucifer, his black wings is finally shown.
Lucifer: You're...wow...it's been a heck long time.
Ignora nods. "Yes, it has. I was trying to get you here just a little sooner, but little miss protective here kept interfering.." She smiled just a little bit slyly at Skylar, who had crossed her arms over her chest and was now silently glaring down at the floor, still in her human form.
Lucifer: Well now that you're here, you might as well tell us why you are going this far to get me to see you. I thought I've told you my reasons on betraying the angels.
Ignora: Does a mother need reasons for wanting to see her own son?
Skylar stayed as she was, just glaring at the ground.
Lucifer: it doesn't mean I want to see you.
He glared at Ignora, and then glance at Skylar, nudging her.
Lucifer: why did you bring her too? How is she involved with my problems?
Ignora: She's a lot more involved than you would think... she's your sister. I'm sure she's tried to tell you this? I can't see her not doing that.
Lucifer facepalms.
Lucifer: aw whaaaaat? You're in it too? Or are you telling me you adopted her while I was gone? There's no way that this pipsqueak is a relative of mine.
Lucifer rubs Skylar's head.
Lucifer: Come on, look! She's just not as lazy as me!
His sarcastic voice led out a giggle too.
Ignora sighed. "She's more like a copy of your past self, from when you both lived up here in heaven, but with her own cowardice mixed in.. I guess that's why I hate her. She never became herself, she never really had a chance to. And... when people say you're related, you can think they're lying you like, but they're telling the truth."
Skylar, not really knowing whether to be sad, or happy, or angry, just kept looking down, now blinking furiously to get rid of the tears of mixed emotion building up in her eyes.
Lucifer looks angrily confused with his mouth gaping wide.
Lucifer: woah miss, excuse me, let's drop the whole "sister" thing. You're telling me you brought the both of us all this way to see me but you despised her? Even I think that's too far! Not cool dude!
He flaps his wings to let some of his internal anger out.
Lucifer: Hey, by the way, I hope you're not sending that Raguel out to get my friends. Sariel is already hurt. Stop hurting everyone for the sake of me. It's not what I want, "MOM"...
Ignora: "I didn't bring her here; she came on her own. And I do send Raguel to get you, but he's the one to chose what he does to get you."
Skylar looked up, a little anger in her eyes. "I AM here, you know. Stop talking about me as if I'm just some insignificant 'thing'."
Lucifer looks at Skylar, then back at Ignora.
Lucifer: You know what? This is boring. You know I have absolutely no interest of ever seeing you again.
Lucifer starts to leave; he begins to turn around and walk off.
Skylar hurries off after him, not wanting to be left alone with Ignora.
Said angel didn't even try to stop them, because she knew if she wanted them back again she could get them with force through Raguel.
Meanwhile back at Maou's castle.
Maou: cough cough!
Maou wakes up. It's the middle of the day.
Maou: ??? Was I...
Alciel: Asleep.
Maou turns to looks at the demon guard, who was sitting down on the floor next to the chamber door. Emi was also inside.
Maou: ugh.... -he scratches his head- how long was I out?
Emi: Well.. I think you were still up when Lucifer and Skylar left.
Maou: Yeah I was! But...Did I faint?
Alciel scoots next to Maou.
Alciel: the impact of Lucifer's gateway caused you to black out my lord. Your body hasn't fully healed from the fight earlier so I called for Emi.
Maou: oh...Where's Sariel?
Alciel: well.....We...Also brought him in.
At the other side of the chamber, an unconscious Sariel lays on the floor.
Maou: ugh...What happened...
Emi: "Well.. you two went to see what happened because something had crashed into the castle... and you came back with Sariel. I think that was when the other two left."
Maou: wha- No, I mean, what happened after I fainted again? I know that something crashed into the castle...,
Alciel: I...sort of excused Emilia and Sariel to enter the chamber. I hope you'll forgive milord, it's just...I fear that Raguel might be keeping an eye from the outside.
Maou: What do you mean by that?
--
Lucifer: Hey Skylar....do you remember? That time, when you hid with my friends at Chiho's school? Everyone kept telling me I was possessed, and at first I laughed about it. But...I think something's wrong with my powers.
He flaps his wings, flying away faster from the place Ignora is located.
Emi: Well, he could be trying to spy on us to see whether it's worthwhile for him to attack us any time soon, or he could just be gathering intel for Ignora on how we're doing.
--
Skylar follows after him. "I don't really get what happened to you that night, I just tried to not get killed by you or something.. The only thing I have to go off is when Ashiya said you might have MPD.."
Maou sighs.
Maou: we should leave.
Alciel: ??? Excuse me?
--
Lucifer: a disorder!? HA, that buffoon, dude you've got to be kidding me! As usual, Mr. "Worrisome" panicked and started thinking weird solutions to the problem...
Lucifer laughed and snorted loudly.
Emi: Huh? Where would we go? And anyway, what if the other two get back and we aren't here?
--
Skylar sighed. "What else could we come up with? We didn't really have much time to consider anything more serious because you would have killed us if we got off guard.."
Ashiya: I hate to admit it, but her-
Sariel: *cough cough*
Everyone turned around.
Sariel: Go....
Maou: huh?
Sariel: He..He's with him...
--
Lucifer was about to open a portal.
Lucifer: well let's get back to Maou. But I doubt they'll worry about me because they always forget I exist ha!
But before he could open a portal, someone from behind shoots a beam to Skylar.
Emi looked to Sariel, a little confused.
"Who, Sariel?"
--
Skylar turned around, feeling like someone was behind her, and her eyes widened. She ducked, grabbing Lucifer's arm and dragging him down with her, just in case it hit him after she dodged.
