Delete screeched as she sat at the dining table and threw away everything kept on it. Allianz was constantly trying to calm her down.
"I want Slaine back!" She commanded, "I don't care how-- Just bring him back!"
"I will, I promise. But you have to be patient."
"I can't be patient! I want him now!"

"Delete, be a good girl. When I say I'll get him-- I will get him. I have a plan.
But for that--We'll have to kill Lucifer first."
"But he's so strong." Delete said.
"Doesn't mean that he's invincible. Do you want to eat an ANDROID?"
"ANDROIDS would taste bad."
"Trust me, Lucifer won't."

Slaine agreed to the match. He was made to. But this match was simple-- It was just a race. Slaine got on his board and leaned forward.

"Good luck, dad!" Evelyn shouted and Slaine chuckled "Thanks."
Slaine got on his board and one of Malvern's boys stood on his board. Slaine wasn't really a speed skater-- He was more into technical skateboarding but Riley didn't care. He knew Slaine could defeat that guy.

The finish line was the Manhatten bridge. They could choose any path. Whoever reached there first would be the winner. Frank held a small red flag. As soon as he dropped it, the race began. Slaine did a fast start and was barely ahead of his opponent.

He suddenly saw a bus just as he was about to cross the road. His opponent stopped while Slaine took the support of a nearby railing on the pavement and launched himself into the air. He grabbed his board as he went up and landed on the other side of the road.

As he landed and moved further, he felt a bit off. His bearings didn't seem so stable. That rainwater has destroyed his bearings and he needed to change them but it wasn't a good idea to do it in the middle of a race.

That landing had weakened them more and they didn't feel as smooth anymore. It was as if he was dragging his board than actually riding it.

Riley and his gang went after them on their skateboards. It was a group of around twenty teenagers and young adults skating through the high traffic areas of New York. This created a huge ruckus. Most of them destroyed public property. Evelyn ran after them with his board in his hands.

Meanwhile, Lucifer sat in the bar with a bread. He was applying some penut butter and jello over it. Mr James was pouring drinks to the customers. Suddenly, Asselyum came running in.
"There's a C1 near the East waters."

The sirens must have gone off. They weren't usually heard in the bar during the work hours. Lucifer took a small bite of his sandwich. Asselyum walked towards him "We need your help."

"It's not a C2. I don't fight the lower ranks than myself and no one except the C2 suits my taste." Lucifer said.
"We don't have time for that!" Norman shouted.
"You guys are pretty obnoxious. Can you not deal with one X-DROID without my help? This is why I did not want to encounter you soon enough."
"Lucifer--"

"You both are wasting your time on him." MiK stood at the door. Lucifer turned towards him. "This guy doesn't care who dies. He massacred an entire nation after all."
"I only did what I was asked to." Lucifer got up "Truth is, you guys are just jealous because you are fucking weak!"

"Children, please take it outside the bar." Mr James requested and Lucifer marched outside the bar, hitting the door hard.
"You are helpless without me!" He shouted.

"Let's go, Asselyum." Norman held her hand. Asseylum looked at her and nodded. Jimmy put on his glasses and gear while Lupin sat before his computer. Axel decided to stay in with Lupin.

Slaine was slowing down and his opponent was catching up to him. Riley and everyone were now followed by the police. Soon, his opponent took over him and Slaine was left behind.

'I'm gonna lose.'

He lost his focus and fell down the board. "What is he doing?" Frank said.
"Slaine! Get up!" Riley shouted.
Slaine pressed his head as certain memories passed through his head. He suddenly saw a vision. It seemed like a dream world as everyone around him disappeared. The sky turned dark and suddenly he found himself underwater with Axel, Jimmy and Lupin floating beside him, all of them were dead. "Guys?" He swam towards them, "Lupin! Jimmy! Axel! Wake up!" Suddenly, he came across Asselyum. She pointed a gun at him, "I'm sorry I have to do this, Ben,"
"Asselyum?" 
Her eyes turned pink and she shot him.

Slaine fell and found himself back in the real world, covered in sweat. The world seemed to be spinning right and left. He wanted to scream but he could hardly breathe. He felt like he was going to die any moment. He was seeing that vision again and again-- He was struck inside that dream as he clenched his hair. Asselyum's blue eyes were an ice that would harm the fire that'd melt it to water.

It was replaying again and again. He felt like he was at his breaking point. He was seeing faces of people he had never met and everyone called out his name. He was shuddering and half awake.

His opponent had almost reached the finishing line when something jumped out of the East waters. It was huge! The biggest X-DROID they might have encountered. It gulped him down in one go and everyone else ran away from it.

Riley and his boys turned back and skated away from Slaine. Asselyum, MiK and Norman reached the scene and jumped at it.

Slaine lay alone on the street among the chaos. He felt alone and isolated. But then he felt something warm. Like someone had hugged him tightly. It was Evelyn. He patted Slaine's back "It'll be okay. I'm here now." He whispered and Slaine hugged him back. He sat there while Asseyum, MiK and Norman fought with that X-DROID.

Lucifer was walking on the pavement when he felt something. His eyes glowed bright blue. He could feel a pervasive presence. He turned towards the East waters.

"This guy doesn't care who dies. He massacred an entire nation afterall."

He smirked "I'll show you how wrong you are."

Evelyn dragged the unconscious Slaine into a nearby building and peeked outside at the X-DROID. MiK and Norman lay defeated in the rubble and Asselyum looked very tired.
"Jimmy," She said.

"I can still go on." He said. He was covered with bruises "But I don't know till when."
"Let's give it one final blow." She got up. She ran towards the X-DROID but then she felt a strong repelling force. It was the wind. She quickly looked up. Lucifer jumped down from the sky.

MiK looked at him as he lay in the rubble "I told you that you are helpless without me." Lucifer smirked, "And I'm never wrong."
"Why did you come?"
"Because someone was getting their ass kicked to a dangerous level of embarrassment. Now shut up and watch his highness' majestic power and fear it."

The wind around him got stronger and turned into a cyclone. It surrounded the X-DROID and separated his flesh and blood. Lucifer's eyes shone bright blue as the wind crushed the X-DROID into a bolus of flesh and blood.

Slaine got up and looked outside with Evelyn. Lucifer brought his hands together and the ball crushed into a smaller and smaller portion. The cyclone began drying down and disappeared with the ball. A blue crown appeared on Lucifer's head and disappeared. He snapped his fingers and the wind dried down.

Slaine stared at him. He just didn't act like a prince-- He actually was!
Lucifer turned back "What should I take this disrespect as, Valorie?"

"Valorie?" Asseyum said.
A meek male with those same blue eyes as the other ANDROIDS came out of one of the buildings and stood before Lucifer.
"Valorie! Where were you?" Norman said.
"If you were here, why didn't help us?" MiK asked.

Valorie and Lucifer glared at each other. Lucifer took a deep breath,

"So, you've decided to go against us?"
"I only support justice and I believe that the X-DROIDS are the victims here. Not humans." Valorie said.

"What the fuck are you saying?!" MiK shouted.
"Valorie, no! That's blasphemy!" Norman shouted.

"Also," Valorie ignored them "I hate you, Lucifer. Don't cross my path again or the consequences would be devastating." He warned with his eyes shining bright blue.

Lucifer's eyes began shining again "You know what I hate?" The wind slowly grew violent again "It's taking orders,"
