Lucifer was revolutionary. Stronger than the strength of  all ANDROIDS combined. The people in England were perishing and spreading the infection everywhere. Dexter decided to attack the roots and sent Lucifer to put an end to the nation itself.

Lucifer attacked the North sea and raised a tornado. He brought it to England and submerged the entire nation out of existence. Unfortunately, fifth oblivion escaped but the infection was put to a hold for a while.

Dexter realised the power he had gotten into his hands. But, Ben didn't like his way of doing things so he came to take Lucifer back from him. Dexter asked Lucifer if he wanted to go,

"I shall not listen to mere humans such as you, Sir Dexter, I only accompanied you because Ben asked me to. Now, if he wants his majesty back, I would glady return."

"If you work with me, you can rule the entire world."
Lucifer smirked, "I have said this before but I have absolutely no interest in humans."
"But imagine-"
"No," Lucifer looked down at him. 
"Oh...No?" Dexter looked at him.
Lucifer shook his head and flew into the sky.

Dexter was furious. Ben won again, like always. So, he put off the lowest move out of anger and inferiority-He set out the X-DROIDs from the prison, and war broke loose. People died in billions. Ben could do nothing to save them or to stop them from dying.

Once one person in a nation was infected, he would break into other people's house and either eat them or infect them.

The rivers were more red than blue. People ran out of burial grounds so the corpses now we're burned in furnaces. People were dying in millions everyday. Lucifer didn't know what to attack since it was humans killing humans and Ben ordered him not to kill any humans.

So, he set off on a search for the X-DROIDs and met Gotham, who had taken over the entire dead sea.

They fought for three days, and he lost. But she didn't feed on him since he tasted bad. He had an X-DROIDs blood running through him.
"You're an X-DROID?" She asked with a smile as she pressed her arms on his chest. He lay on the beach, over the sand and she lay above him as her tail shone in the sun.

"I'm leaving you this once since I'm not human-- So, I won't kill one of my own kind. But, make sure I never see you again, okay?"

She kissed his hair and washed away into the tide. Lucifer looked at the beaming sun and got up. He tore off the patch of hair which she had kissed, leaving behind blood at the tips of his plucked out hair.

The air around him grew violent and all the clouds gathered together, covering the sun. Everything turned dark, he rose into the sky and held his hand forward with his hair into his fist,

"This world shall only be bestowed by the light when there is no X-DROID or it better be as dark as the souls of the people who live here!" A blue crown appeared over his head, "I, the Prince of wind, lay this curse on all that breathes or don't." He opened his fist as his hair flew away into the sky.

Slaine couldn't believe everything Asselyum told him. He knew Lucifer was strong but he didn't know about this side of his. He felt grateful that Lucifer was on their side.

At night, he was in the bathroom, peeing, when Lucifer came in. It was about midnight and they were all alone in that bathroom. Slaine was trying his best not to freak out.

"Are you sober now?" He asked.
"Yeah, a bit. My head is beginning to hurt already." Lucifer replied.
"Lucifer, Asselyum told me about you." He looked at Slaine.
"It's crazy how strong you are. It's like-- The future is in your hands."
"...My dick is my future?"

"I was serious there."
"I'm holding my dick--"
"Listen, just pee and go. Goddammit." Lucifer pulled up his zipper. Slaine snarked, "Don't say this shit before me, I'm spiritual."

"Demons are spirits too, be more specific." He left. Slaine felt a cold shiver and looked behind him.
"And now, I'm fucking scared."

Next morning, nearly at four in the morning, Asselyum decided to teach Slaine how to master a runblaster. She repeated the instructions for the rays settings.
"Don't hold the trigger for very long. Just press it and leave it."

They were practising in the garden, keeping the concrete wall as their target. Asseylum inserted the pin into her flesh and the runblaster glowed blue. Slaine remembered that it glowed red for him. So, there were different colours for humans and ANDROIDs.

She pressed the trigger and left it. It left a block of light that diminished before reaching the wall.
"Now, you try it. And remember, control yourself. Be composed," She removed the pin and threw the runblaster at Slaine. He took another sterilised pin from a box and fixed it on the runblaster. Then, he inserted the pin into his flesh and the runblaster glowed red.

'I knew it!'

He brought his hand forward and shot. It gave off a huge beam of light and completely destroyed the wall. To his surprise, the runblaster recoiled!
"Ow! Ow my shoulder! It's fucked-Shit!" Slaine dropped the runblaster from his hand and it hung on his wrist, "AHHHH!"
"Calm down," Asseylum grabbed his arm and twisted it swiftly. He heard a crack of bone but it wasn't hurting anymore.

"That hurt a lot!"
"Was that your first time?"
"I don't shoot people for a living!"
"Sounds like a good career option to me."
"Shut up!"

Asselyum took a deep breath.
"Alright," She picked up the runblaster, which was still attached to his arm and stood behind him. She pressed her arms over his as both of them grabbed the runblaster.
"Asselyum-"
"You have to focus," She looked ahead at the wall, "It's just like skateboarding, you make your own style,"
"Power or elegance,"
"Exactly, connect with it. Become one with your want," She looked into his eyes.

"What I want..." He whispered as he looked into her eyes and brought her face closer to hers, "It's beautiful,"
Her eyes widened, "What...is beautiful?"
"You are," 

She breathed in, "Slaine..."
Their fingers held the runblasters. Slaine held his finger over the trigger as he moved closer to her, closer and closer and-
"What is happening here?" Lucifer stood behind them and Slaine suddenly pressed the trigger in surprise. The beam went ahead and destroyed the remaining wall. The gun recoiled back but Asselyum held it. Slaine moved away from her, "I-..."

Lucifer looked at him, "I guess you need to take care of that, am I right or am I right?" He pointed at the bulge in Slaine's pants. He covered it quickly, "Shit!" He looked at Asselyum, "It's biological!... I have to go!" He ran away.

Lucifer picked up the runblaster, "Seems like he likes you,"
"Maybe," Asselyum looked at him, "Doesn't surprise me, human teens are crazy with emotions sparkling up like broken pieces of metallic bombardments,"
"But you," He looked at her, "You're not a human teen, but you seem to like him too,"
She looked at Lucifer, "He's family,"

"You can't stay with him, Asselyum," Lucifer said and she looked down, "It's pointless to fall in love here. Once this war is over, we have to leave. You have to be there if you want to be loved. But you know you can't be there. You know you can't stay,"
"I know,"
"Then, you must act like you know that," 

She looked at him, "How do I know I like him? And how do I control that?"
Lucifer inserted the runblaster's pin into his hands and the light turned green, "I'm worried that love is just something that can't be explained. You can't derive logic from it, you can't understand it in its parts, because it exists as a whole. It exists as an abstraction, a dream that you cannot tune like a robot; you can't control it because its a feeling. It's a feeling of powerlessness,"
"I can't be powerless, I exist for war,"

"Then, don't fall in love,"

Asselyum looked at Lucifer and nodded,
"Anyways, I'm here to tell you something. And it's meant to be kept as a secret." 

. . .

Slaine came out of the bathroom and slid down on the door, "Now, I'm tired." He looked at his crotch, "And what the fuck is wrong with you?"

"What--" Axel stood at his room's door. It was just in front of the bathroom, "What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you talking to your dick?!"

"Whose talking with whose dick?" Jimmy peeped out of his room. He squinted since his eyes were barely opening. He had just woken up.
"No one-- You go back to sleep!" Slaine shouted.

Jimmy went back to sleep and Axel went downstairs to drink some water. Slaine fell asleep and woke up from the noise of a door creaking open. Axel came out of his room, "What's that sound?" He asked.
Lupin's room's door opened and Lucifer peeped out, "Why are you there?!" Axel shouted.

"It's my room?" Lucifer said.

"Your room is on the other side." Slaine said.
"Is Lupin okay?!" Axel shouted.
"Oh! That's why I felt that my bed was overly soft and sluggish tonight."
"You slept on Lupin!"
"Is he even alive?!"

"Twenty seconds," Lucifer peeped inside the room, "Hey, are you alive? Oh yeah, he is. He just raised his arm."
"I say we throw this man out before he harasses us anymore!" Axel shouted.
"Can you guys shut up?! It's five in the morning-- Go back to sleep." Slaine shouted.

Everyone walked inside their rooms and Slaine went to the terrace since he wasn't really sleepy anymore. Asselyum stood at the railings.

"Are you always here?" He asked.
"Yes. The breeze is cooler around here." Asselyum's hair flew in the breeze and she closed her eyes. Slaine rested his face over his left arm and looked at her face. A slight smile slowly covered her face.

His gaze shifted to her lips 'I fall for the wrong ones, every time,' 
"Asselyum," She opened her eyes but he covered her eyes with his hands,
"You fascinate me,"
She remembered saying that. Suddenly, she felt something warm on her lips.

He kissed her on her lips, and gently moved his hands away from her eyes. She looked at his eyelashes as he brushed his lips against hers.

He moved away from her. His eyes narrowed as he looked into her eyes and his cheeks went pink. He ran his tongue over his lips and took a breath. Asselyum looked at him,

"I've fallen for you, Asselyum. What about you?"
