Asmo had caught up with Satan, who was almost half way through the door to his bedroom.

"Satan I'm your brother... Your present state got us worried... What happened with you, Pamy and Solomon when you lashed out like that... Do you think Lucifer didn't notice?"

Satan breathed and slowly exhaled as his brother slowly pointed at the reasons to why he was addressing him.

It seems his anger was obvious. Even after all this year's practicing his facade of a smile had payed off, this time around his emotions escaped him and he could be read like an open book.

Now, he felt that if he could beat up himself to death, he would; with no hesitation, but that wouldn't help bring Pamy back to his side. All this time he has been making mistakes; loosing control, as if he was still his ignorant younger self. As if those years of thoroughly training himself into controlling his monstrous emotions were for nothing.

He could still remember the look on Lucifer's face as he noticed something was off with him.

He could still remember the face of terror on Pamy as her hands slipped from his and she was already spinning away; the same face she made when she saw him in his beastly state back when the Darkness had engulfed him.

He told Asmo all of it, and all the time, and all the time Asmo's face never wavered; it remained serious; an expression not everyone had knowledge of.

Asmo only became like that when he was thinking deeply.

Once Satan finished explaining the reason for his outburst, Asmo calmly breathed in and as neutrally as he could, he looked straight into Satan's eyes and hugged his brother into a tight embrace.

"It is not your fault... Everything will be all right... So, there's no need to be hard on yourself like that..."

Satan sighed,

"As if it were easy to accept it Asmo... You can't imagine the pain and wounds I inflicted on her... I almost... I almost killed her... The tears streamed from her eyes while these hands stole the breath away from her... My palms can still remember how I squeezed unto that fragile neck, being unable to stop and afraid it would snap any moment... It was... Terrifying..."

There was a pause before Satan continued.

"I saw what I was capable of. I came to the realization, that Pamy was not safe with me and would NEVER be safe with me..."

It's been a long time since something made Satan's emotions waver, and made him show that pained expression he was showing to Asmo now.

Asmo pulled Satan more into his hug. Satan's head was tucked on his brother's shoulder as he stroked Satan's hair like a kitten who needed some reassurance after loosing its way back home.

Asmo repeated,

"Everything will be fine... You don't know it won't be..."

Satan did not answer but Asmo just smiled and giving both some space, continued,

"Have you asked Pamy what she thinks; what she feels? She is one strong human and best of all she knows how to forgive... So, don't go assuming other people's feelings and thing they'll hate you, or stop loving you. Any moment now Lucifer will fly through that portal with her on hand and you should be there for her. You should let both of you tell each other w hat you truly want to tell each other, be reasonable and sincere. Now... come on, I hear the others yelling downstairs, maybe Lucifer came back...?!"

Just when Asmo pulled Satan to come with him, he tripped over a pile of books and almost fell on his face.

"GODDAMIT! Satan! Leaving all that we spoke of aside, you... YOU got to do something about your room and THESE BOOKS! Look! Look at those candles right on top! One day this room will catch fire!"

Satan chuckled and pushed Asmo out of his room, following right behind him.

Once they both entered the library they didn't expect to see everyone panicked and trying there best to maintain the currently closing portal open.

Mammon yelled,

"Don't just stand there! Do something!"

They were all using their powers to slow down the closing of the vortex.

Solomon threw another burst of magic towards the portal, making it expand but soon to start shrinking again.

Satan clenched his jaw.

"Mammon!"

Mammon got startled but nevertheless listened to Satan's command.

"Do you think you can fly fast enough so as to take us both to Lucifer and Pamy?"

Mammon hesitated.

Asmo interjected.

"But you can't just throw yourself in there! You will get sucked in!"

Solomon seemed to understand Satan's plan.

"Actually, Satan has a good idea. I may be powerful enough to maintain the portal open for just a longer moment with the help of Belphie and Levi."

Satan added,

"We will be chained up together, while Mammon flies us into that portal and Beel will hold unto us. In terms of arm strength, I am sure he wouldn't falter and let us go."

Amo worried inquired,

"And what if the chains break?!"

Satan and Mammon were already crossing here and there over their bodies the chains and locking them in place.

With a serious look but with slight determination, Satan answered,

"That's the least on my worries right now. Let us go!"

Mammon grabbed Satan by the arms and they hovered for a minute before the wild whirling vortex.

Satan yelled at Solomon.

"Give it your all! And whatever happens DON'T LET THIS PORTAL CLOSE!"

Solomon grinned and grunted as sweat beads formed on his forehead and a surge of power emanating from the portal tried to push him back.

"As if I would! Now GO! STOP WASTING TIME! Ugh!"

With that Beel held tight unto the chains that held Mammon and Satan safe as they both disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Author's Note: 

Forgive my disappearance! TAT

Have lots of things I want to do yet I don't have the power to do them all at the same time.

I'm just... a MORTAL! ( ; _ ; )

Either way, I hope you are all doing great and are healthy!

I hope you'll like the upcoming chapters and what other messed up chaos the gang will be in.  

As you can see, I plan to dig into the psychological state of each character; at least, as much as the story lets me.

What do you think happened to Lucifer? 

Let's just add up that getting out of portal is no easy task, not even for a high level demon... -_-...
