Part 13 (Chapter Thirteen: To The Semi-Finals!)

Raguel's wing appears gracefully in front of them. He lands himself to the ground, and stares at the two.
Raguel: aw what? And I've spent my time throwing that Sariel out of the picture, you're telling me I cam back just to see this??
--
Sariel shivers and tries to reach out to someone.
Sariel: Raguel...He's..going to make them stay..
Skylar gets back up and discreetly tries to do a sassy hairflip (idek why i wanted her to tbh xD).
"Yep. Exactly. Full marks."
--
Emi panicked for a moment.
"Them.. as in Skylar and Lucifer..? "
She then turned to the two demons. "We need to get them back here before he keeps them there.."

Raguel sighs, closes his eyes and softly speaks to himself while addressing Ignora.
Raguel: Come on, milady, you're giving me too much work...
He faces the demons, smiling.
Raguel: And just how far do you think you'll be going? I am an obstacle afterall~
The gleeful angel flies towards Skylar.
--
Sariel gets up and wipes his mouth with his arm.
Sariel: Yeah, that's what I meant.
He looks around.
Sariel: Oh....where... am I?
Alciel grabs Sariel by the toga he's wearing.
Alciel: You better don't spill any information about our castle, or else!
Sariel: woah there! I don't even know what you mean!

Skylar stands up properly and shrugs. "I wasn't really thinking of going anywhere, I was just following Lucifer. And.. well, I don't think you've ever had much experience of what friends are like, but if you keep us here too long someone's gonna come look for us. And don't tell me our friends can't come to heaven, Emi cares about us too, not just the other two."
--
Emi sighs. "Leave him alone Ashiya, he doesn't even know where he is."

Sariel: wait! I..Do know where they are.
Maou: come on Sariel...Help us out here.
Sariel: but if you go, you're asking for a fight.
Alciel:.....Ignora...
Alciel looks at Maou with concern.
Alciel: Milord.
--
Raguel: You do realize Ignora had installed barriers around this place right? If you reach the end of this area, your demon blood will be provoked. It's useless to go back, if you try, I'm here for a reason~
Lucifer: Tch...

Emi sighed. "Well... if we don't try helping we might not get them back."
--
Skylar sighed. "I really want to shoot you right now.. even if it is pointless... actually, you know what..."
She shot a beam at Raguel, not even caring whether it hit him or not.

Alciel: what do you want to do, milord?
Maou ponders for a bit.
Maou: We fight.
Alciel: Seriously?
Maou: Just you, me, and Emi....
But Maou looks at Sariel, who gulps when Maou stares at him.
Maou: And...Sariel. We have to.
--
Raguel dodges the beam and picks Skylar up by the shirt.
Raguel: You're a strange one, kid, but I believe it's time for you two to go back to mommy~
Lucifer: hey, knock it out!

Emi nods once. "Okay."
--
Skylar's eyes widen and she struggles, trying to make him let go. "Get off me!"

Raguel flunks the kid out of the way.
Raguel: Now since that little brat is aside, let me deal with you...
Lucifer: YAWN, that's not funny.
Raguel: How dare you...!
Raguel lunges toward Lucifer.

Skylar's arm hits something as she is thrown aside, and she gets up, hissing in pain. She held her arm close to her chest as if to protect it.

Lucifer couldn't help Skylar because Raguel was about to attack him. Swiftly dodging from side to side, the demon attempts to move his body away from Raguel's fists.
Lucifer: Well don't you move pretty slow?
Raguel: So you're testing me-
Raguel punches Lucifer on the face as a surprise attack.
Raguel: now, aren't you kid?

Skylar gets up even though her arm is still killing her and goes up to Raguel and hits at him with her uninjured arm.

Raguel luckily held out his arm so her hit would attack his arm. However, the force was still powerful and Raguel was skidding across the dirt field for a few meters.
Raguel: huh.
He pauses and wipes his arm and toga.
Raguel: you're stronger than I thought.
Lucifer gets up, his hand on his face.

Skylar smirks. "Ha! That's what you get for messing with me all this time."

Lucifer wanted to say something, but at the same time, someone's silhouette crashes into Raguel.
The smoke cleared to reveal Alciel, Lucifer turns around to see an open portal, along with Satan and Emilia the Hero.
Lucifer: G-guys?

Skylar looks towards them and her eyes light up.
"I knew you'd come help us~"

Alciel pushes Raguel away.
Alciel: It must be done eventually!
He blasts a beam at Raguel's direction.
Raguel: ugh!
Satan runs over to Lucifer.
Lucifer: Dude why are you here?
Satan: Well I can't leave a friend behind!
Lucifer: Talk about "friends", it's about time you didn't shove me aside and put Emi over there as priority.
He points at Emi.

Emi had gone over to Skylar.
"Are you alright?"
Skylar nodded. "Well, I did hit my arm before but I'm fine for now.."

Alciel continues to battle with Raguel, soon with the assistance of Satan.
Satan grabs Raguel by the wing and flunks him hard onto the grassy ground.
Raguel: AH!
Alciel then kicks Raguel, sending him flying across the pavement and smashing onto a rock.
Raguel: OW!
Satan: WOW, It sure feels great to use my powers again!
Alciel: I can't agree more, milord.

Emi healed Skylar's arm with some of her power so she could fight alongside them. They then waited for Raguel to get up to fight.

Lucifer was ready to launch himself, but before his wings could flap, there was a screeching, ominous sound.
Sound: CCCCRRRRREEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
The sound waves was loud and visible, causing everyone to shut their ears and whine in agony.
Satan: ugh!
Lucifer: ah my ears!!
Raguel doesn't look like he's affected, and instead, smirks at the ones in pain.

Skylar and Emi both quickly held her hands over their ears, though it didn't help much.
"Owww!"

Raguel turns around and kneels.
Raguel: Milady.
Ahead, Ignora stop blowing an anti-demon horn, revealing herself with a calm face, yet strict as if she wasn't satisfied.
Lucifer: oh crap.
Satan: wait...She's not the only one.
Ignora had a few more angels from the church with her.

Skylar warily removed her hands from over her ears, and then turned to Ignora.
"Ugh.. why are you pretty much everywhere us lot are?"

Raguel: don't be foolish, Ignora always know where you are! You're her children after all.
Without a warning, an annoyed Lucifer jumps in and is about to attack Ignora.

Ignora sighs, and some of the angels with her turned what weapons they had to Lucifer to protect her before he could do anything.
Skylar twitched in anger and actually did attack Ignora with her magic, causing some of the rest of the angels to attack her. Ignora was left unfazed by Skylar's attack, which she had blocked.

Lucifer was busy convincing and diving the guards' attacks.
Lucifer: heh?
He dodges to the left.
Lucifer: hey, Ignora, why aren't you talking?
No reply. He dodges to the side as a feather from his wings fell off.
Satan: crap!
All the guards was confused by Satan's warning, not knowing what that means.

Skylar and Emi got out of the way too.
Ignora stood puzzled for a second until she realized and moved away. After the feather had exploded, she turned to Lucifer.
"Chat is for the weak and silence for the bold, that is why I am quiet."

The guards that dodged too late was now in critical condition.
Lucifer: ha, looks like you're fighting us on our ow-
Raguel kicks Lucifer's head, knocking him unconscious as he spit out blood the amount he was knocked.
Alciel: Bum!
Satan: Lucifer!
Alciel: AAAAAAAHHH!!!
Alciel barges in and tries to attack Raguel but misses.

Skylar's eyes flashed with anger and she started to attack Raguel too.

Raguel continues to dodge everyone's attacks while Satan head on fights Ignora.
Satan blasts a powerful beam at her and starts another beam.
Satan: You know what would be great?
After saying the phrase sarcastically, he blasts the second beam.

Ignora dodged his attack and smirked at him, tilting her head to the side.
"And what would that be?"
Meanwhile, Emi joined the fight with Raguel and Skylar continued fighting, her attacks fueled with the anger of seeing Raguel attack Lucifer.. and just hating Raguel in general.

Satan flaps his wings to create a strong wind current to distract Ignora.
Satan: if you could just TELL us your REAL motive, Miss!
He also shoots a larger, brighter beam at her.
Raguel jumped and dodged around everyone's attacks, as Lucifer woke back up from the ground and coughs. Touching his neck, he gazed up to see everyone fighting.

Ignora tried dodging this one too but her cockiness got the better of her and she was hit. She stumbled a little and nearly fell over, but attacked back.
"O-Oh? And why would I tell you? It's a mistake to reveal your plans to the enemy."
Skylar noticed Lucifer had woken up and left the others fighting Raguel. She went over to him and crouched down. "Are you okay?"

Alciel blasts off two angel guards and proceeds to kick them hard in the stomach, sending them flying across hundreds of yards. He then flies over to Satan and plans a surprise attack behind Ignora.
Satan sees his chance, and aims a punch at Ignora in an attempt to distract her.
Satan: Well I guess you have a point, but that would mean we would have to fight till someone gets hurt!
Lucifer looks over at Skylar, not saying anything, and glances back at his friends busy fighting. He sighs, not knowing what to do as he tries to stand up.
Lucifer: I.... don't know what to do. Maou, Emi, and Alciel are busy fighting, and if I go any further-
He stumbles and falls back to the ground, coughing.
Lucifer: Tch....That was a hard hit. I don't feel well..

Skylar gave a worried smile to her brother.
"You don't have to do anything if you don't feel okay. Just keep yourself safe."
--
His attack hits Ignora and, being delayed by a few seconds because of the hit, started to attack him back.
"People already have got hurt."
She looked briefly over to her two children, as if to say they were the ones she was talking about, before returning to her attack on him.

Lucifer groans and rubs his head.
Lucifer: but..
He continues to watch the fight as it becomes a stalemate; there seemed to be no end to this.
However, Alciel seems like he's able to fight the angel guards. Surprisingly he is really strong.
Lucifer: I....
Satan dodges Ignora's attack, and for a moment he glances at Lucifer's direction.
Lucifer: (thinking) what should I do? What does Satan want me to do??
Satan turns to the side and blasts a beam at Ignora's direction.

Skylar tilted her head a little. "What is it?"
--
Ignora dodged and attacked again.

Lucifer: I...don't know if I can do it..I don't even know what she wants!!
Alciel assists with Satan and he blasts a beam to Ignora as Satan reaches from behind and was about to slice her with his claws.

Ignora quickly spun around and dodged, attacking him herself. "If you just gave me Lucifer, this could end. You can keep the girl, I just need someone worthy of being a 'head angel' in my place."
When Skylar heard that, she looked to the fighting group with a distant, hurt face. Though she says and acts like she hates her mother, there is a part of her that, and to that part of her this was ultimate betrayal, which hurt her.

Satan and Alciel distance themselves from Ignora, landing hard onto the grassy floor.
Alciel starts to feel pain.
Alciel: milord, I do not know how much longer i could stabilize my true form in such an area...
Satan looks at him in concern.
Satan: I hope this was enough...
Lucifer looks at him. The wind blew slightly against his hair and everyone else.
Lucifer: enough..?
Satan grins.

Ignora was confused. "What?"
As was Skylar,though she made no comment and decided to just watch what would happen.
