CODE 52 Pretty

"Where hell and hell collide
The king of wind shall arise
To raise a banquet of demise
A power no soul can suffice."

And a tornado rose, sucking in all the water and becoming a typhoon. Gotham swam through it and reached Lucifer.

Meanwhile, Valorie was flying in the sky, he caught the pistol Slaine threw and entered the tornado. She stretched her hands towards Lucifer's neck but Valorie came from the side and inserted the injection into her neck. He pressed the pistol and the contents went inside her body.

All her veins appear and her iris turned black from green. "What did you do?" She touched her neck as she fell along with all the water and died.

"Wow, it worked." Valorie looked at the empty injection.
"Valorie?! I thought you were on our side!" Allianz shouted.
"Hey, you thought."
"You were acting?"
"You sent Riley, Ben sent me. So, it's fair square." Riley smirked.

"What the fuck, Valorie? Why didn't you tell us?" Norman shouted.
"Cause you guys stupid! So, it's a no no."
"Fuck you!"

"We trusted you..." Allianz said.
"Well then, you can't really blame me. That's your mistake." Valorie smiled as Giles stuck an injection into her neck and she died too.

"Hey Lucifer, stop it now and get down." Valorie said. But the typhoon just grew stronger and stronger.
"Lucifer?"
Lucifer looked down. Both his eyes were green.
"Great. Run everybody!"

Lupin was looking at the ruptured blood vessels when suddenly he heard Axel's voice in his ear.

"Lupin! Lucifer has gone crazy!"
"Not now, Axel."
"Wait-- Whose that?"
"I am Lupin."
"You can speak?" Slaine asked.
"I'm doing something important right now. I'll call you later."
"Wait--"

He hung up.
"Who was it?" Denis asked.
"Axel." Lupin replied as he continued.
"Is something happening there?"
"I don't care."

The ground beneath started breaking down into pieces and rose up into the air.
"Lucifer, calm down, bastard!" Slaine shouted.
But he didn't seem to listen as he blankly stared at the sky, destroying all the homes nearby.
"My beautiful NYC!" Riley shouted.

"Valorie, follow me." Asselyum flew towards him and Valorie followed her. But they couldn't reach him because of all the air pressure.
"Ugh--Lucifer! Wake up!" Valorie shouted.

"Do it, Valorie," Asselyum said.
"Are you sure?" Valorie confirmed.
"Yes." Valorie brought his hands forward and his gloves gave out fire. It surrounded Lucifer and his body started heating up.

"X-DROIDs can't stand the heat." Valorie crossed his arms.
"I'll go in." Asselyum said.
"What?! No! You're gonna--"
"Catch me, Valorie. Catch me when I fall."
"You stupid."
"Aren't we all? We are all fighting for one man." She smiled and went inside the huge fire tornado. Suddenly, the fire disappeared.

"What?" She looked around.
"He trapped you! Get out of there, now!" Valorie shouted from beneath.
But she couldn't get out. The wind was too strong.

"Lupin, are you listening? Lupin!" Asselyum shouted.
"What?!"
"I need your help."
Lucifer wrapped the wind around her and she felt as if something was squeezing her neck.

"Insulators! Turn off the insulators!" She said.
Lupin looked at Jimmy and then at his computer.
"Do it fast! I can't hold on for very long!" Asselyum shouted as Lucifer moved closer to her.

Lupin was in a dilemma and started panicking whether to help Asselyum or Jimmy.
"Take care of him," He said to Denis and ran towards the computer.
"Me?! But I know nothing!"
"Just don't let his vitals fall."

"Lupin!"
"I'm doing it." He removed his gloves and threw them into the dustbin. He typed the commands on the computer.

Denis looked at Jimmy. His face was beginning to go pale. The towel was soaked again, "Hurry up, Lupin! He's lying open!"
"I am only one damn person here!" Lupin typed as fast as he could.

Lucifer grinned at Asselyum as he tore her hand and threw it away. Then, he grabbed her neck, "If I tear this off, I'm pretty sure it can't be fixed."

Asselyum glared at him.
"Asselyum! Goddammit Lupin, what the fuck is taking you so long?!" Slaine shouted.
"I'm being as fast as I can!"

"Lupin, Jimmy's vitals are falling!"
"Change the pad! Suction! Give the suction!" Lupin got up and stared at Denis do the work.
"Lupin!" Axel shouted.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Lupin typed the commands.

The ECG alarms went off and Jimmy grasped for breath as he clenched the table. "He's moving, Lupin!"
"The anesthesia must have worn out--Give him a second dose!"
"How?"

"Dip it in a cloth and bring it near his nose for a few seconds."
"But my hands are already occupied."
"Hell!" Lupin punched the table. He turned towards Jimmy.

'You have to choose, Lupin. Him or them? You have to abandon one.'
A voice inside him whispered as he looked at him. He bit his lips and turned away,

"I'm sorry, Jimmy."
"Lupin, the blood is leaking! What should I do?" Lupin ignored him as typed the commands with tears rolling down his face. His vision turned blurry.
"Lupin! Say something!"

"It was better when I couldn't say something."

"Any last words?" Lucifer pulled Asselyum up. She looked at him, into his deep green eyes,

"I love you. We are family, Lucifer. Don't let it take you away from us. Fight it. You now you got this." He looked into her as his eyes turned mellow.

'Hey Lucy, you got this!'

"Now!" Valorie shouted and Lupin pressed the enter key. They were both caught into a strong electric shock. Asselyum caught fire.
"Lupin, cut down the voltage! It's too high!" Slaine said.
"No!" Asselyum shouted.
"Asselyum!"

Lucifer's body caught fire and the wind dried down. They both came down falling and Lupin turned the insulators back on. Valorie grabbed Asselyum while Lucifer fell into the water.
"Lucifer!"

He went down and Riley jumped into the water. Lucifer went down without resistance but Riley grabbed his arms.
"Got you!"
Lucifer looked at him, "How did I do?"
"You were the greatest, your highness. Hey, how are you speaking, though?"

"What do you mean?"
"I thought you can't breathe underwater?" Riley asked as they swam up. Lucifer left his hand and inhaled. "Hey," He exhaled with a smile, "I can breathe underwater!"

The moonlight lit up his eyes.
One of his eyes were green, the other one was blue. "Your eyes..."
"They are hetrochromic?" Lucifer asked.
"Yeah..."
"Haha, I knew this would happen. Do they look ugly?"
"They are so pretty,"

Lupin quickly ran back to the ECG but that was quiet now, with just a straight line on display.
Denis looked at him. Lupin fell on his knees.

"We-We can still save him--"
"A straight line means death, Denis." 
"Oh--So, it's over?"
"I hate to answer that. My first operation was a disaster--"

"So, I'll be teaching you disaster management."
"Oh, boring! Which doctor needs that. We some rescue squad or shit?"

Denis moved his hand away from the towel, "No!" Lupin pressed his hand.
"Lupin?"
"I am remembering something."

Lucifer and Riley walked out of the water. Lucifer fell on the ground. "Lucifer?!" Norman shouted.
"Let him rest. He needs some peace." Valorie said. It was hushed but suddenly they heard a weird noise from the clouds.

As if someone was hitting something hard on a metal--The ones that are born at a blacksmith's workshop. The clouds began rumbling and soon the time machine became visible.

"The time machine!"

Beatrice was standing at the top of the time machine and hitting it with a hammer. Dexter stood behind her with a glass of wine. The two realities had collided. Upper part of the time machine was the year 2430 and the lower half beneath it was the year 2025.

"They are breaking the time machine!" Valorie gave Asselyum to Slaine and flew towards the sky.
"We have to save the time machine." Norman said.
"Without Lucifer's help." MiK intervened.
"Oh shoot."
"Exactly."
