"Guys..can we take a break?" Haku said tiringly.

"We can't waste any time, get on my back. I'll carry you." I knelt down in front of him.

"Ahhhh, you're my hero.. Thank you so much." Haku said and tiredly fell onto my back with dead weight.

"You would make your king carry you? How impudent." Magnus said.

"L-Lucif..will you carry me? I'm so tired." Malacoda asked hesitantly.

"I will not." Lucifer said, quickly shooting Malacoda down.

"Why is Haku the only one that gets special treatment?" Malacoda whispered under his breath and kicked a rock.

"Haku Isn't an asshole. He's sweet and kind." I said.

"Your highness..I'm sorry for everything I've done to you. I will make up for it, just tell me what to do." Malacoda said sarcastically.

"Walk up this mountain without opening your annoying mouth." I said coldly.

Malacoda tucked his hands in his pockets and angrily kicked another rock.

"Aww, you really mean that?" Haku said happily, rubbing his cheek on the back of my head.

"Of course." I smiled.

"Let's get married, I'll work while you be the housewife." I joked.

"W-What? I couldn't..marry a guy.." Haku blushed.

"I'm joking." I chuckled.

Haku burried his face in my back to hide his blushing face.

Malacoda seen how Haku reacted and realized his true feelings.

"Get down." Magnus whispered as he knelt down.

We all ducked down.

"Haku, can you walk now?" I asked.

"Yes." Haku got off and ducked down.

I crawled over to Magnus.

"What do you see?" I asked.

"Look there." Magnus pointed at a very large group of Demons taking a different path to the castle.

"Thousands of them..that's why we haven't seen anything sense we got here. They were all on this mountain." I said.

Magnus nodded. "Someone other than Mard Geer must be comanding them."

"It must be an Archdemon." I said.

"No, only the King can command this many Demons at once." Magnus said.

"Who else besides Mard Geer is considered King?" I asked.

Magnus thought for a moment before he sighed.

"What?" I aksed.

"Satan.." Magnus whispered anxiously.

Malacoda, Leviathan and Lucifer's eyes widened.

"That's not good." Malacoda said, his eyes closed.

"Well just how dangerous is he?" I asked.

"His strength was powerful enough to be realized as King. He was the first Demon King. He is now the most powerful entity in Hell. He gave his crown to His Majesty, Lucifer, after becoming bored of his reign for hundreds of thousands of years." Malacoda said.

"I thought Lucifer was the first demon king." I said.

"Well, he was. But Satan didn't really count as that. He was and still is the god of hell. Even the demon kings had to obey him." Malacoda said.

"So.. does that mean my father did, too?" I asked.

"No. His majety was the only one who didn't obey him. Since Tyhpeous held more power and respect than him, Satan gave up on trying to bend Typheous to his will." Malacoda said.

"That's my dad for you.. How unstable is his mental state?" I asked.

"He's fine in that department. Honestly, he's not a bad guy once you get to know him." Malacoda said.

"Really? Then I'll just go introduce myself." I said as I continued on our journey.

"Ohhh, I forgot, he absolutely hates His Majesty, Typheous for taking Her Majesty, Yume away from him." Malacoda said.

I stopped and slowly turned my head to him.

"You're kidding..?" I asked in a light, sad tone.

"Fortunately, no. Hopefully he'll put a hole through you when you meet em'." Malacoda said happily.

As soon as Malacoda said that, Magnus, Haku and Lucifer all punched him in his stomach, ribs and face, breaking his jaw and ribs.

Malacoda lied on the ground for a few seconds, trying to catch his breath.

"O-Okay, don't ever get close to me again, you wannabe god, your light power stings like a bitch." Malacoda said, pointing at Magnus angrily.

"What's your problem, you dick!?" Haku yelled at Malacoda, which shocked him.

"W-What? I was just messing around." Malacoda chuckled.

"Ever since you met (F/N) you've been an asshole to him! Hurting him, calling him names, messing up his home, casually wishing lethal injuries on him!" Haku yelled.

"Haku, calm down, I said I was just kidding.." Malacoda said in a gentle and calming tone.

"Shut the hell up! You were not kidding! He's our king goddammit! You wouldn't even care if he died, would you!? WOULD YOU!?" Haku screamed sadly and angrily.

"After what you've done, can you really call yourself (F/N)'s sworn protector? He forgave you for your mistake of killing Her Majesty instead of saving her or at least attempting to even pretend to care about what you did. And you still treat him like this..? Why don't you just die, then?" Haku said, emotionlessly.

Malacoda stood there speechless.

"Please don't fight you two.. his highness doesn't want to hear this right now.." Leviathan said soothingly.

They focused their attention on me.

I had my back turned to everyone.

"I'm..sorry, (F/N). I couldn-"

"We should move on.." I said softly, before Haku could finish his words.

-

We've been walking for thirty minutes. No one has said a word since the arugument.

Everyone but Lucifer, Magnus and I had their heads down.

"(F/N).." Malacoda tried to get my attention.

I didn't answer.

"(F/N)." Malacoda raised his voice a little.

I didn't answer.

Malacoda sighed. "I'm sorry..everything I've done up to now was a result of my own guilt and selfishness. I wanted you to absolutely hate me for what I did to your mother, so I did and said all of those things to you. Before I killed her..I fought off hundreds of demons thinking I could save myself from the guilt of ending her life. I denied the reality and kept on fighting and fighting, not caring if I died. All I wanted was for her to live a peaceful life with what made her the happiest."

Malacoda bit his lip.

"But more than that.. i wanted you to live."

I stopped walking and turned to him. "Huh?" I asked.

He looked me in the eyes.

"The reason why she wanted me to end her life before anyone else did wasn't because her power would be stolen. It was for you." Malacoda said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Everyone watched curiously.

Malacoda focused his attention away from me for a few seconds before turning back to me.

"Your soul is very unique. Gods, Demons and Dragons are always born with a power of their own. But you weren't born with a power. Instead, you were born with a cursed ability. Back then, when you were almost five, I was babysitting you while his and her majesty were away on buisness. You and I were at my palace at the time. You were just playing with some toys I made for you because I didn't have any and I was to broke to buy any. I stupidly fell asleep and when I woke up, you were sleeping in my lap, on my couch. But us both and the couch was..somewhere..somewhere else." Malacoda's voice slightly shook. "I could only see the couch and us, everything else was pitch dark. Screams of bloody murder flooded into my mind. Men, women, children..And among all of the voices I heard, one of them stood out above them all. A deep, dark voice far away inviting me into his "playground". Red and Black essence began flowing into your chest while you still slept. You started screaming in agony. I knew it was corrupted souls that were flooding into you. I forced my hand into your chest and pulled them out, taking a lot of strength. Once I pulled them out, we were back at my palace. You breathed heavily as you slept through it all. I can honestly say that what happened then traumatized me to the very core." Malacoda's hands shook.

I couldn't say a word.

"I told his and her majesty about what happened, they didn't react like I thought they would. It was almost like they were waiting in anguish for that to finally happen to you. That's when Yume, your mother, told me about what was going to happen to them, and you, in the future. She told me to kill her when the time came. The reason for this was because of your ability. You weren't old enough to understand that ability, so souls could just flow into you without your permission. If I hadn't killed your mother, her soul would have went to you unwillingly and ripped yours apart because her soul was to powerful for you to wield. His majesty said that your ability came from his power. It manifested within you before you were born. Your birth is unique. Miracle and Curse just doesn't mix, many of holy and unholy beings tried and failed. The baby would come out dead because the curse and miracle power would reject each other and go out of control, causing the newborn to have a heart attack. But because his power was connected with you, and that one in a trillion chance, you were born." He said.

The truth was hard to handle.

"You-..But-.." I stepped back not sure what to say or do, then I remembered what happened back in my dad's room.

"When I was in my father's secret room, the same incident from when I was four ocurred again. But no souls were being forced inside me. I heard that deep voice you were talking about..but he was standing right behind me this time..Do you know what that thing wants with me?" I asked.

"It happened again? I don't know..but that things presence reminded me of something.. or someone, I'm not sure." Malacoda said while rubbing his chin.

I leaned against the rock mountain trying to calm my anxious mind.

'I don't have time for this right now. I'll deal with this when I get back home.' I thought.

"Malacoda, I'm sorry. You saved my life. I hate that my mother had to die for my sake. But my mother wasn't going to have it either way. In that situation, there was no right or wrong. There were just consequences. I'm sorry that decision had to fall onto you. I forgive you wholeheartedly..we should keep moving." I said.

Malacoda felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his heart.

In that moment, he could finally smile a genuine smile.

-

We finally made it to the top of the mountain. A hundred thousand demon monsters stood there groveling towards a statue.

"Good God there's so many.." Malacoda said astonished.

"Wait, there's something really familiar about these Demons.." I said.

"What is it?" Leviathan asked.

"Hades' army. Looks like someone took his soldiers and turned them into Demons." I said.

"They weren't Demons before?" Haku asked.

"I thought they were. But when I think back, they were actually humans being mind controlled." I said.

"Shouldn't we like..save them then?" Haku asked.

"No..it's to late for that. Their souls had already been harvested long before we showed up. That's why I originally thought they were already Demons. Because their souls were missing." I said.

"Oh no.." Leviathan said.

"We need to take back the throne..But how are we going to do that when there are so many obstacles in our way?" I said to myself, thinking.

"Well..everyone but you can charge them and distract them while you go inside and defeat whoever is in there. Which..someone or something is definitely going to be in there waiting for you." Magnus said.

"Is that the only option?" I asked.

"Listen..we have a God, three demon generals, and a Demon with the previous underworld king's power. And Hades was known for his strength. We can take this army." Magnus said, with a look of determination.

I looked at the other four.

"We can do this, your highness" Lucifer smiled.

"Of course we can." Haku said.

"We are the mighty demon generals. Nothing will stand in our path to victory." Leviathan said.

Malacoda smiled and nodded.

"Okay..then, let's get this over with." I said.

I started to sweat and my hands shook.

"Just have to go inside..and defeat whoever stands in my way.." I said.

Eveyone watched as I hesitated to start the attack.

Haku placed his hand over mine.

"(F/N)..you're our king. I won't let you lose control or die as long as I'm around. Remember, when you're looking back, we'll be there to pick you up when you're down. We all care for you immensly..even Malacoda. Go in there and show him who's king. Okay?" Haku smiled.

I smiled at the ground.

"Thank you, guys. I don't need you to pick me up when I'm down. All I want is for all of you to stand by my side." I said.

"Of course, your highness." Lucifer said.

I inhaled deeply and exhaled.

"On my signal, I want all of you to throw everything you have right on top of them." I said.

"We are waiting your command." Lucifer said.

"Be careful, you guys." I said, sliding down the small mountain we were on.

I hid behind a rock.

The castle was a few hundred meters away.

I teleported through the darkness behind another rock, and then another one, and another until I made it to the castle.

I went to peak around the corner and one of the Demon soldiers were right there, inches away staring me down.

I cut off it's head quickly by reflex and grabbed it's body and head and through it off the edge of the mountain.

"Wow, he's rather quick with that sword of his. I didn't even see him draw." Magnus said as he used his miracle like binoculars.

"Can you teleport like that, too?" Haku asked Magnus.

"Only through the light and I have to wait a certain amount of time before I can do it again. (F/N) can teleport through darkness and light, and he can do it as many times as he pleases with no delay. Oh, looks like it's that time." Magnus said.

He saw me making a circle with my arms.

"Alright, time to raise some hell." Malacoda smirked.

Magnus raised his hands over his head as a black and white fire formed a Yin and Yang.

"In this twilight, your choices sealed your fate.." Magnus said.

"Blood Demon's Lost Art: Blood explosion." Lucifer said.

Levaithan summoned a gigantic Hydra and sent it towards the army.

I threw my sword as hard as I could towards Malacoda.

Malacoda swung the Dragon katana with all his might, sending a massive wave of black energy towards the army.

Haku summoned Hades' two pronged fork, infused it with his curse power and threw it.

The attacks infused with Haku's fork. The attack hit the middle of the army and caused an exolosion that blew all of the soldiers back. The shockwave was big enough that it found it's way towards me and almost knocked me off my feet.

"That's one way to do it." I said.

They took out nearly half of the army.

The army stood up and charged Magnus and the others.

"Good, they didn't see- Oh nevermind, some of them are coming for me now.." I said.

Fifty or so broke off and came after me.

"Come to me, blade of the Archdemon Queen." I said.

As soon as Malacoda was about to attack with the sword, it flew out of his hands and headed towards me, flying through the army and cutting off their heads like a weed whacker.

"Um! I was using that!" Malacoda yelled sarcastically.

I caught the sword.

"Okay, not to much power."

I swung the sword very lightly.

Instead of black energy, a small shockwave came out and tore their limbs off like skeletons when they fall over.

"Awesome, I finally controlled it." I said.

-

"This castle is so huge..where in the hell is the throne room?"

'Over here.'

Whispers flooded my mind.

'Getting closer.'

'Yes..come this way.'

'Open the door.'

Before me stood a fifteen meter double door.

"Can I even open this thing?" I asked myself.

I put my hands on the door, getting ready to push.

As soon as I went to push, the door opened with ease.

I walked inside, feeling anxious.

"My..my..my..how I've longed for the day that we finally met..you smell so much richer in person.."

"I'm guessing you're the one that haunts me in the other realm?" I asked.

"That realm is called Purgatory. It is my own slice of heaven." He said.

"Do you want something from me?" I asked.

"Why of course..I want your soul." He said.

"Sorry. Try someone else." I said.

"There is no one else. Only you." He said.

"Are you going to show yourself?" I asked.

"Do you wish to see me?" He asked.

"Yes." I said.

"Fine.."

He walked out of the shadows.

"My name is Satan, first sin of Wrath. Maybe you've heard of me?" He asked.

"This is very bad.." I said to myself.

-

"How many are left!?" Malacoda yelled across the battlefield.

"A lot! Maybe 45,000 more!" Haku yelled.

Magnus closed his eyes and clapped his hands together. He opened his now pitch black eyes and revealed a thin line between his hands.

"Call of the void." Magnus said.

A soothing melody came from the thin line.

Only a small fraction of the soldiers could hear the song over the sound of the battle. And as soon as they did hear, they were sucked inside of that thin line and teleported to the Void realm.

"What..the hall was that?" Malacoda asked.

"A spell I learned long before you were born." Magnus said.

-

"I will have your soul..even if god himself stood in my way. I'll reap your soul even if it kills me." Satan said.

"Do you plan to take the throne?" I asked.

"What do you mean? The throne is already mine. This gauntlet I am wearing is given to the person who is Demon King.

Could you guess who it was forged by? Me, of course. Every King and Queen who has had it, put a small fraction of their power into in, slowly giving it strength and power. Thousands of Demon Kings and Queens have put some of their power into this gauntlet. Even i did. Even your own mother. All but your father. His power was absolutely magnificent..It pained me oh so much when I found out he died before he could put some of his power into this gauntlet. You might as well call this the Demon King's crown. As long as I wear this, I am Demon King. The only way you can take it from me is to use the key. The key..is the blood of the first Demon King and the first King of Heaven. I doubt you would be able to get it from me. And there is no possible way you could get it from the first King of Heaven, since he is heavily protected and you would be captured on sight, then you will be taken to a holy ground where they will extract your power and put it in a artificially made God. And believe me, it hurts very, very badly. Imagine your body being slowly crushed by a one trillion ton sharp edged boulder. Oh, but you still live through all of this. And that wasn't even the hardest part. Then you will have to deal with the withdrawals of having your power taken away. Everyday for as long as you had the power, your body will feel like it's deteriorating. You can't sleep because you're in so much pain. That's the kind of thing that will drive you crazy. I had to go through it once. It was a punishment, actually. For one thousand years, I had to deal with the withdrawals. It was God that did it to me. He locked me up and after he was finished with me he gave my power back and cast me into hell for all eternity." He said, casually sitting on top of a statue and swinging his leg.

"I can't imagine how painful that must have been. But unfortunately for you, I couldn't care anymore than God did when he so heroically banished you from Heaven." I said with a smirk.

Satan's face grew very angry.

"You should watch what you say you half-breed." Satan said as he jumped down from the statue.

"Have you decided on what you're going to do? Will you finally give up your soul to me?" Satan asked, reaching out his hand.

"No. I'm going to defeat you and take the throne." I said.

"...So be it.." Satan said.

He summoned a sword.

"This sword was crafted and given to me by God himself. It's made out of ice. Ice is my main element...I see you have a sword, too. Draw." Satan demanded.

I slowly unsheathed my sword and got into stance.

My feet froze to the ground as Satan ran after me.

I shoved my sword into the floor and released the energy.

The ground below me broke and flew into the sky.

"I'm going to have to give it all I got without losing control for this fight." I said.

I closed my eyes an focused on combining my father's, mother's, Lucifer's, Natsu's, Hades', Esdra's, and Simon's power.

I changed into something totally different.

A Demon's horn grew out of the left side of my head and a Dragon's horn grew from the right side. My right eye stayed white and my left eye turned black. My right arm turned black with white Dragon scales.

Black and red essence hovered around me while the right side of my body burned with white flames.

"There it is..how beautiful." Satan said as he watched in bliss.

I squeezed my right forearm tightly, giving it my all to not give in to the bloodlust.

I breathed in and out calmly.

"Okay.." I said.

"Are you ready now?" Satan asked.

"Ready when you are." I said, getting into stance.

I used Esdras power to summon a few undead.

Ten undead reached their hands out of the ground below Satan and grabbed his legs.

"Let's see how much you can take.." I said.

"Soul Slayers Unholy Art: Endless pain."

In less than a second I slashed the air twenty times and gave one last strong swing.

Twenty sharp lines of black energy and one big wave of black energy following behind was hurled towards Satan.

Satan smirked and parried the attack with his bare hand.

"My goodness what a strong attack.." Satan said, as he froze the undeads arms and shattered them.

"You gotta be kidding me.." I said to myself, feeling defeated.

"Demon God: Roar!!"

Again, Satan casually parried my attack.

"That one really stung." He said.

"You sure don't show it." I said frustratingly.

"Would you like a hint as to how you could possibly put a scratch on me?" He asked.

"Why not?" I said.

"You just have to ask yourself, 'Why did that attack sting him'?" Satan said.

"Okay.." I said confused.

'Why did that attack sting him?' I asked myself.

"Oh..of course..he's a Demon." I said.

I closed my eyes and breathed in, focusing on converting my element to Light.

I deactivated everyone's power except my father's and Natsu's.

Both my eyes turned white. Another dragon horn grew in my demon horns place.

I put my hand over my chest. "Appear before me, with your pure and unreachable light."

I pulled my father's sword out of my chest.

Satan was not amused. He looked disgusted.

"I thought I'd never see that sword again.." He said.

"Pure light. Think you can handle it?" I asked.

Satan just smiled and got ready.

'I don't have much time before this sword returns back inside my chest..I have to hurry.' I said to myself.

We vanished and reappeared in front of each other in a split second, holding each others sword at bay with our own.

I lit my entire body on fire.

Satan jumped back, keeping away from my holy flames.

I didn't give him time to think.

I ran after him, attacking him as fast and hard as I could.

Satan kept up with me, showing no sign of being over powered.

We dodged and blocked each others attacks, both of us leaving no opening.

Satan froze my feet again and tried to cut my head off.

I leaned back barely missing his blade, leaving a long cut on my neck.

I burned the ice and summoned fifty fireballs and threw them at him.

While Satan was busy dodging, I teleported behind him and tried to impale him.

He noticed and move to the side.

I just barley tore two inches into his side.

Satan groaned.

Ice spikes rose from beneath me.

I jumped back.

Ice spikes started emerging from the ground, following me.

"Demon God: Quake!"

I punched the ground sending a shockwave in front of me in a straight line and breaking all of the ice spikes.

Satan chuckled.

An ice spike had impaled my thigh all the way through, almost hitting a major artery.

I pulled it out and threw it on the ground.

"Mm..such a shame..I didn't hit the femoral artery. You would have been dead in five minutes from rapid blood loss." He said.

'Dammit, I can barely put pressure on this leg..It went straight through my bone.' I said to myself.

Another ice spike emerged from the ground.

I jumped away, falling on the ground.

Went I hit the ground, an ice spike went straight through my left hand.

I winced in pain and pulled my hand off the spike.

Outside

"Were almost done! Just 10,000 more." Haku yelled.

Magnus was feeling unnerved and worried about (F/N).

The castle was shaking from (F/N) and Satan's battle.

The shaking suddenly stopped.

"I don't like this..Malacoda! Lucifer! Can you handle the rest, I'm going inside!" Magnus yelled across the battlefiled.

"We got this, go!" Malacoda yelled.

"Help our highness!" Lucifer yelled.

Magnus teleported to the entrance of the castle.

(F/N)'s p.o.v.

Another spike ran through my shoulder.

"Dammit..stop toying with me!" I yelled.

I was to just fighting off his spikes to be able to attack him.

Now that my leg has been immobilized, my movements have become considerably slower.

I went to cut a spike in half but it disappeared before I could swing and the spike ran through the right side of my chest.

"Your blood smells so very delicous.." Satan said, covering his grinning face with his hand.

I broke the spike off and pulled it from my chest.

I got so angry.

I screamed in anger.

The whole room lit up in white flames for a couple seconds before they vanished.

That managed to burn Satan's hand, but that wouldn't do anything except piss him off.

"Yes! Get angry! Show me your true power!" Satan yelled.

I started thinking about the others back at the guild.

'I can't die here..I won't leave them. Everyone would be so sad. Especially Kitsu..' I said to myself.

I stood there, covering the whole in my chest.

'What do I do..? No matter how fast I am with my attacks, he attacks faster and shrugs my attacks off like they're nothing.' I said to myself.

Satan vanished and appeared behind me.

He held my hands behind my back, pulled my hair back and licked the blood from my neck.

"Mm..so delicious..I need more." Satan said, holding his sword to my neck, getting ready to cut it open.

All of a sudden, black and red flames burned his hand, making Satan drop his sword.

He pushed me to the ground.

"Show yourself!" Satan yelled.

A flaming hand went straight through Satan's chest.

Satan summoned ice spikes behind him and jumped away.

Satan kneeled over covering his chest and wincing in pain.

It was Magnus.

He kneeled over me.

"Are you okay, (F/N)?" He asked worridly.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." I said.

"Stay here and recover while I deal with him." Magnus said.

"Magnus..that's Satan. Be careful." I said.

"Heh. If you lasted this long, then I know I can defeat him." Magnus said.

"You're the fallen God that has been living at the bottom of hell." Satan said, sealing his wound with ice.

Magnus didn't respond.

Satan's wound set on fire again.

"Ahhh! Dammit!!" Satan yelled, trying to freeze the fire.

Magnus got closer and grabbed his head and smashed it into the ground. He smashed his head over and over.

Satan kicked him away and summoned his sword again.

Satan unleashed a flurry of attacks on Magnus.

Magnus pushed away his sword with the back of his hand everytime Satan would attack.

They were so fast.

I unsheathed my sword and stood up.

Magnus grabbed his sword and stabbed him with it.

"(F/N)!!" Magnus yelled.

Out of nowhere, I came in and cut Satan's right arm off.

Magnus lit his own body on fire and bear hugged Satan.

"No! Let me go! Let me go!" He yelled as he burned.

Satan almost had Magnus' arms pryed lose.

I lit my body on fire and bear hugged Satan as well, being careful not to burn Magnus.

"Keeping the throne will not be an easy task..you will need a lot of help..please..consume my soul. Please, grant me this final wish.." Satan whispered to me just before his body turned to ashes.

I fell to my butt and sighed.

"Thank you Magnus..I don't know what would of happened to me if you hadn't stepped in..I'm sorry you had to save me." I said.

Magnus picked up the Demon King's gauntlet and pulled out Satan's arm.

"(F/N)..I told you once before. Satan's power rivaled the gods. The reason why I was strong enough to defeat him is because I'm much older than he is and had more time to perfect my power. And besides, he's a fallen Angel that turned into a Archdemon. Not a God. I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did." Magnus said, giving me his hand.

I took his hand and lifted myself up.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." I said.

The others came running inside.

"Your highness! Your highness!" Lucifer yelled.

I waved at them and smiled, still holding onto my chest.

Haku jumped into my arms and hugged me tightly.

It hurt so much.

"Does love always hurt?" I asked.

"Huh?" Haku asked.

"No, nothing. How is everyone?" I asked.

They all looked down in sadness.

"What?" I asked.

"Malacoda..he died protecting us.." Haku said.

"W-What?" I said in disbelief.

"He wanted me to tell you to never give up. And to look after Leviathan and us while he was gone." Haku said.

"B-But..those Demons were so damn weak! Was Malacoda really that patheticly weak all along!?" I yelled.

Malacoda walked in cracking up.

"Come on, you think those guys would get the better of me?" Malacoda asked.

I turned my head. "Tch.."

"Aww, come on, highness. You don't have to give me that attitude anymore. I know you actually love me." Malacoda said with his arm around my shoulder.

Leviathan, Haku and Lucifer started to tear up.

"What's wrong guys?" I asked.

"He called you highness..he finally accepted you as his king..and you two finally get along now. It's just so beautiful." Lucifer said.

Malacoda immediately removed his arm from my shoulder and walked away embarrassed.

I hid my face and laughed.

"Here, Lucifer." Magnus said, giving him the gauntlet.

Lucifer looked over the gauntlet in awe.

"Thank you, Magnus." Lucifer said.

Haku, Leviathen and Malacoda walked beside Lucifer as they all kneeled before me.

"Your highness, will you accept this and be our king?" Lucifer asked, holding out the gauntlet.

"I will." I said.

Lucifer smiled and stood up.

Lucifer took my shirt off.

Haku blushed and looked away.

"It is my honor to serve under you, your majesty." Lucifer said, sliding my arm inside the gauntlet and locking it into place.

Once it locked into place, the gauntlet squeezed my arm tightly.

"Is it suppose to be this tight?" I asked.

"Right now, it is extracting a tiny fraction of your power." Lucifer said.

The gauntlet loosened up and turned black and white, the color of my power.

"The gauntlet recognizes you as King. The process is done. You are now the Demon King of Hell." Lucifer said.

"Wait, recognized? I thought I just had to put it on and then I'm done?" I said.

"Well..you had to put the gauntlet on for Hell to fully recognize you as King. That means every being that has Demon blood running through their veins felt this and is now connected with you spiritually. The gauntlet had to take a sample of your power to determine your strength and your worthiness. If you wasn't worthy, the gauntlet would have devoured your arm. But I wasn't worried about that." Lucifer smiled.

"And if it did devour my arm?" I asked.

"Well..uhm..I would still love you all the same?" He smiled.

"I can't tell if that was a question or not.." I said, walking over to Satan's ashes.

I pulled my father's sword from my chest and stored Satan's soul inside.

"What did you just do?" Haku asked.

"I stored a soul inside this sword." I said.

"Who's?" He asked.

"Satan's." I said.

Malacoda held his hands on my cheeks and got inches away from my face.

"YOU defeated Satan?" Malacoda asked.

"No, Magnus did, without breaking a sweat. He almost killed me." I said.

He looked at Magnus.

"That's even more unbelieveable.." Malacoda said with a blank face.

"How so!?" Magnus yelled.

Juat then, a voice was heard through each of our minds.

'Your highness..well, I suppose it's 'Majesty' now. The Council of The Holy Clouds has showed up. They are on their way up there now. I'm sorry, your majesty, I couldn't stall any longer. You must leave this place at once.' Hell's Gates said.

'It's okay, you did good. Thank you for all your help.' I responded.

I sheathed my Katana and put my father's sword back inside my chest.

"What is this Council of The Holy Clouds business?" I asked.

"It's the main council of Heaven. I use to be apart of it before I was thrown out of Heaven. They may not care about me being here, but if they see you, they will definitely try something. I doubt I would win against them. We will handle them, you get going." Magnus said.

Lucifer summoned a magic circle that teleports anyone back to Magnolia.

I activated my soul sight.

I saw their souls through the mountain. They were still walking up the trail.

Their souls were glowing so powerfully. There were ten of them. Some of their souls were blue, some white, some yellow. But one of their souls were purple and it gave off an enormous amount of pressure.

I could feel it from here.

"We still have time before they get here. Magnus, what are you going to do? Leave Hell?" I asked.

"I'm afraid not. Hell is my home now." He said.

"Then ,Magnus, I bestow upon you the title of the First Sin of Wrath. Will you be my supreme General and second in command?" I asked.

Magnus smiled. "I guess I don't have anything else better to do. Fine, I'll let you be my King." He said.

"Thank you so much, Magnus." I said.

"Here are the titles for the rest of you. A couple of you will still hold the same title but not the rank.
Second Sin of Pride: Lucifer.
Third Sin of Greed: Malacoda.
Fourth Sin of Envy: Levaithan.
And..
Fifth Sin of Lust: Haku.
You are now apart of the Cardinal Sins." I said.

"I'm a Sin now?" Haku said excitingly.

"Yes. Think you can handle the work?" I asked.

"Of course. Thank you." Haku smiled like a child.

I nodded with a smile.

"You know..we might not see each other for a while." Malacoda said.

"I'm aware." I said.

"So..um..you know.." Malacoda opened his arms.

I smiled and we hugged.

Haku, Lucifer, Leviathan and Magnus joined in.

"We must never tell the other Demons about this..they will laugh and make fun of us." Malacoda said.

We all laughed and stepped away.

Lucifer bowed. "What are our orders, your majesty?" Lucifer asked.

"Strengthen our army. Recruit two more Generals. And clean this place up. Malacoda, I'm not sure what to do with Kanon..you may decide. Also we need someone to take over as Gatekeeper. Once you are done, I will come back." I said.

"Yes, your majesty." They all said in unison as they bowed.

"Magnus, you're free to have your own home here. You may pick a empty palace or build your own." I said.

"And Haku, you now own your father's belongings including the palace you two lived in. Feel free to do whatever you want with it." I said.

Haku smiled and nodded.

"Oh right, here. Satan won't be needing this anymore." Magnus said, tossing me Satan's sword.

I caught it and smiled at Magnus and stepped inside the magic circle.

"Be good, you guys." I said.

"We will." Malacoda said.

-

I was teleported right in front of the guild.

I walked forward.

"Ow, damn..I forgot about these wounds." I said.

I was still bleeding through my shoulder, hand, thigh and the right side of my chest.

I burried my face In my palm.

"Damn..I said I wouldn't come back all bloody and bruised..she's going to be so mad at me." I said.

I looked at the clock on the tower.

"Three pm. Lets see, I woke up at four in the morning, right? So ive been gone for eleven hours. Not bad conqeuring Hell in a days work." I said as I limped towards the guild doors, holding my chest.

I put my hand against one of the doors and slowly opened it and stepped inside.

Everyone sat at a table and no one talked. They all looked sad.

"(F/N)..?" Erza stood up from a table. She looked as if she was about to cry. "Is that really you?" She asked.

Everyone turned their heads to see what she was talking about.

Their eyes widened as they teared up.

"What's wrong guys..?" I asked nervously.

Without saying anything Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Happy and Wendy group hugged me.

"Uh, wait, I'm bleeding." I said.

They didn't care.

The rest of the guild joined in.

"I knew you were going to be alright..but you still had us all worried. We missed you so much." Lucy said.

"What's gotten into you guys? I've only been gone for eleven hours." I said softly.

"Eleven hours!? More like three in a half months!" Natsu yelled.

"Are you serious!? No, that can't be right!" I said.

I looked at the date on the calendar hanging from the wall.

"Summer.." I said.

"Where have you been..?" Erza asked.

"Kitsu didn't tell you? Where is she by the way?" I asked.

Everyone broke apart.

"She isolated herself in your room a month after you left. Shes been doing nothing but crying." Erza said.

My heart immediately collapsed.

"Kitsu.." I said.

"I was inside Hell. I defeated a bunch of enemies and reclaimed the throne for my father." I said.

"What, so you're King of Hell now?" Gray joked.

"That's right. This gauntlet is the symbol of the Demon King." I said.

"So that's like a crown?" Natsu asked.

"Yes." I said.

"Hey, maybe time in Hell is different than here?" Natsu said.

"That's the only logical explanation." I said.

"Where'd you get the sword?" Elfman asked.

"You might not believe me, but I got it after defeating Satan. It was his. Well, i didn't defeat him, a god did." I said.

"THE Satan." Gray asked.

"Yeah." I said while resting against the wall.

"Are you okay, man..?" Natsu asked softly.

"Look at em', there's a whole straight through his hand, shoulder, thigh and chest. They even tried to cut off his head.." Gray said, looking at the cut on my neck.

My eyes felt heavy.

"Go home and get some rest. You look beat.." Natsu said.

"Yeah, you can tell us about it tomorrow." Wendy said.

"Thanks guys.." I said weakly.

"Do you need help getting home?" Lucy asked.

"Thank you. But no. I can handle it. I need to think about what happened today. I've got a lot of things on my mind." I said.

"Can you at least tell us something?" Erza asked.

I looked at Erza.

"Was it worth it? Would you do it again?" Erza asked.

I thought for a moment.

"I was able to save many lives..so yes." I said.

Erza smiled. "Then I'll forgive you for coming back bloodied and bruised."

"Yeah..sorry about that. My enemies were really strong." I said, walking to the guild doors.

I stopped and turned my head.

"It..feels good to have a home and a family to come back to. I'm grateful for that." I said and walked home with Satan's sword in my hand.

In front of my house

"Don't do this to me, not now." I said frustratingly as I struggled to unlock the front door.

I sighed and kicked down the door.

I walked up the stairs and hesitated to unlock my door.

I was scared of Kitsu's reaction.

I breathed in and out and opened the door.

"Ah..home sweet home.." I said.

"Kitsu! Are you home!?" I called out.

Just then, I heard footsteps running out of my bedroom.

And there she was.

"(F/N).." She smiled widely as tears poured from her tired eyes.

She jumped into my arms.

"I missed you so much..welcome home."

I would have posted this hours ago but my power went out >.<
Anyway, here it is. I hope you enjoy.
