Big Changes...
A/N: Mammon had left Devildom, but no one is happy about it as he think they do.
Mammon was gone.
No one can believe it. They all didn't think he would actually leave. Usually, if proclaims he's running away. No one would take him seriously.
They would at least give him a week or so to come back. The longest time he's ever been far away from the HOL would probably be a month.
But once he told everyone how much he's had enough of being bashed for his sin and being treated like the butt-monkey of all jokes to point where he literally gives up on being the Avatar Of Greed, a title he had held for centuries after his descent into demon hood.
Mammon thought everyone would be glad that he's gone.
Well he thought wrong.
No one was happy of his choice. Not even his former brothers...
Lucifer once again locks himself away in his room doing more paperwork than usual.
Leviathan drowned himself in guilt believing he drove Mammon away due to his envy towards the second eldest. He stayed couped up in his room with only his pets to keep him company.
Satan, wasn't any better. Mammon had raised him when no one else bother too. So to see that the caretaker whom once looked after him leaves. He felt loads of anger swelling up inside him once again. He was angry at everyone. Including himself.
Asmodeus tried his best to ignore his own guilt while indulging himself in his own sin. Bringing home random demons to flirting with Solomon. But in the back of his head...it still didn't feel right...
Beel missed Mammon a lot. Besides MC, he used to be the nicest to Mammon. But once he started insulting him too. It drove a wedge between their relationship as brothers. So Beel begin guilty-eating.
Belphie, whom once thought that now that Mammon was gone. There will be peace and quiet. But he was wrong. Let's say he started suffering from some nightmares and was starting to became very uncomfortable no matter where he sleep...
MC tried to keep everything in the household stable. But as a human, they're reaching their limits and have no idea what to do...
Diavolo and Barbatos were both looking for another demon as replacement to being the Next Avatar Of Greed. But whether they find another person for the job. It just wouldn't feel the same. Diavolo wasn't happy in the slightest. Neither was Barbatos.
Simeon, despite being one of the few whom never directly insulted Mammon, still felt some guilt seeing the second eldest brother leave. He knew the punishments that Lucifer put him through were severe. But he couldn't do nothing about it...the damage had already been.
Luke was really sad to see Mammon leave. At first, he didn't like the second eldest because he was a demon. But from Simeon's teachings, he learned that not every demon is the same. He knew Mammon had a lot going on than he shown. So when the two started bonding together. Usually from cooking to spending time with one another. He'd grew to like him and had a brotherly relationship with him. Now things weren't the same now that Mammon had left to the human world.
Solomon, despite barely having much an relationship with Mammon. He can't say he won't miss him. They were acquaintances and the second eldest was a lot of things that had pique Solomon's interest. He wished he could've done more to help Mammon.
Thirteen, she loved Mammon like a friend. The reaper enjoyed his presence more so than others especially when they're pulling pranks together. To see Mammon go broke her heart. There are times she just wish she could beat some sense into his brothers for driving her friend away.
Mephisto, as one of the people who wasn't all that nice to Mammon and tried to use him to gain popularity in devildom, even going as far to frame him for something he didn't do during an event. Luckily, for Mammon, Barbatos cleared his name. Although overtime, he begin to treat Mammon with respect more than his brothers ever did. But since Mammon had forced himself to retire his position. Mephisto grew to hate the other brothers, mostly Lucifer. Since he still held a grudge against him for ruining his position as the President Of The Newspaper Club. He also still hated MC as well. To this day, he can't even seem to fathom why everyone likes the human?
Raphael. While he and Mammon did not like each other while the only relationship they have of each other were enemies.
But then again, whether he like it or not, Mammon was a former brother of his and possible twin
*Theories Anyone?*
Mammon was always bright, energetic, loud, and full of energy. Raphael is cold, empty, merciful, and emotionless...at least that's what he's supposed to be.
He did had some fond memories of Mammon back when the brothers were still angels.
Once Raphael remembers vividly of Simeon's past reports, of Lucifer and his brothers' treatments of Mammon, of their cruel words and unforgiving actions against him. He remembers, and the emptiness gives way to rage.
He thought about killing them......But Michael stopped him.
Micheal. That's right. He needs to make a report of the recent news about Mammon to him.
Now only time will tell what Michael is truly thinking once he learned of the fate of former cherub he gave up to Lucifer.
....
If we fast forward a bit to one week later...
In The House Of Lamentation.
It's been a week since Mammon had left.
Everyone was miserable. No one was happy. MC tried to bring up small talk and get everyone in a better mood. But for once, it seems their efforts had failed. But no one blamed the human for at least trying.
Everyone tried going on with their daily lives. Until Lucifer called for a family meeting through chat.
Lucifer: As you all aware, Mammon is no longer with us and left to the Human World.
Satan: *Rolls Eyes* Yes. We Know Genius.
Asmodeus: Satan Hush.
Lucifer: So...be as it may. I have to come to terms with everyone to tell you that there will be some changes around here.
....
No one liked the sound of that.
Leviathan: What...kind of changes.
Lucifer: First, I will discuss some new rules.
Satan: Oh boy. Here we go.
Lucifer: Leviathan, you will only watch your anime for two hours. You can also only use the WI-FI for an certain amount of time for your Gaming Channel.
Leviathan: WHAT?!
Lucifer: Satan. No more cats. I specifically banned you from bringing on anymore cats once. So I'm doing it again. No more buying curse books or hexes as well. Just read the ones you have in your library.
Satan: ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME?!!
Lucifer: Asmo. No more going shopping or nightclubs for a while. No more brining in random people to the HOL unless they are Solomon. Also, you can only take a bath twice per a day. No more unnecessary bubblebaths.
Asmo: HUH?! That's Not Fair!!!!
Lucifer: Beel. You can only eat three times a day.
Beel:
Lucifer: ...And Belphie, I will give you a schedule time period to when you can sleep.
Belphie: ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH OLD MAN?!! THESE NEW RULES ARE RIDICULOUS!!!
Asmo: I need my bubblebaths in order to stay pretty! You know that Lucifer!
Levi: No More Ruri-chan?!! Am I hearing you correctly?!
Lucifer: Yes. You all heard me correctly. Due to some recent changes, I decided to added these fundamental rules in order to get some more money under our belt.
Satan: What do you mean?!
Leviathan: I thought you wouldn't have any more problems with the money!!!
Lucifer thought so too. Since Mammon had left, he would be sure he wouldn't have to worry about anymore debts.
Well think again...
He ended receiving an bill from the Government saying that they're budget had somehow been exceeded. Lucifer looked over the issue and it turns out...It seems Lucifer had forgotten.
While he pays for the bills and taxes.
Mammon is the one who handles the budget and government funds of the House.
But since Mammon had excluded himself out of the Devildom's Budget Costs and foreclosed it...
Lucifer: The HOL's Budget had been cut.
Brothers:
Beel: ....Meaning?
Lucifer: It means I will have to make a new plan and carry out everything on another budget plan. We can't have anything that will disrupt our finances. Such as making sure we have less bills to pay for. So you all will have to make sacrifices.
Belphie: OMG...This can't be happening...
Asmo: Why?! We didn't had any problems like this beforehand!
Lucifer: Creating a budget will requires many moving parts and phases,complexity, time, accuracy, and continuous planning. So to make sure you all agree. I'm going to have to cut off the wifi and access to your bank accounts until we make some more money. You probably will have to start working to get money as well.
Satan: YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!
Lucifer: I can and I will. Also, don't overspend or I will take your credit cards away too!
Belphie: Oh! Now you're treating us like Mammon!
Satan: It's like you're telling to not indulge in our sins!!!
Levi: This is ridiculous, Lucifer! Tell him MC!
MC: Sorry Lucifer...Even though I understand your actions. But this is going too far.
Lucifer: You'll thank me later. Remember what I said. No Gaming. No Cats, Curse Books, or Cafes. No Shopping or Nightclubs. No Food til it's scheduled time. No Napping. If I catch any of you doing any of that. I'll hang all of you from the ceiling. Understand?
Brothers:....
MC: Understand...
Lucifer: Good. Family Meeting Over. Now...if you excuse me. I got paperwork to do.
*Lucifer logs out*
Satan: OH MY FUCKING DIAVOLO!!! I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE HIM!!!
Belphie: I HATE HIM SO MUCH!!!
Leviathan: HE IS THE DEVIL!!! THE DEVIL!!!!
Beel: B-B-But...I'm HUNGRY!!!
Asmodeus: THIS IS SOOOO UNFAIR!!!
*Meanwhile*
A little while earlier before the event.
Back in the human world, Mammon and Kanon had found themselves a nice apartment in Japan for them to stay in for the time being.
Kanon: Papa? We're going to stay here?
Mammon: That's right, Little Treasure. This apartment is where we will start our new lives together.
Kanon took a good look around the apartment. It wasn't as big of the House Of Lamentation.
But the place looked a bit small but it was decent and clean. It was a two bedroom apartment complex, in the living room they had a flat-screen TV, two brown comfortable couches. It also a kitchen and bathroom. The only thing that was there was a fridge and oven. The bathroom had a matching white shower, sink, and toliet. Everything else was empty. Mammon decided he could do some shopping later for the both of them.
He took one good look at Kanon.
It was just him and nine-year old girl he kidnapped (adopted) from the witches.
(Picture is from the music video: Loveless World. Featuring Mammon. Credit goes to the original owner.)
A fresh start for the both of them. He'll make sure Kanon will have the wonderful childhood he never had the chance to get...
Mammon: So what do you think?
Kanon: I like it! Do you think I could decorate my new room! I've always wanted to do that! I'll just use magic I'll learned back at the coven to help!
Mammon: *Smiles* Whatever keeps ya happy, Little Treasure. Just don't hurt yourself!
Kanon: Okay I won't! Hey...Papa?
Mammon: Yeah???
Kanon: Those guys from earlier...Are they your brothers???
Mammon flinched at the mentioned of the other demon bros but nodded at Kanon. He had mentioned them from to time...
Mammon: Yeah...Those guys WERE my brothers.
Kanon: Oh...What were they like?
Mammon: Well... the eldest brother Lucifer can be strict and intimidating. He's the guy that always follow the rules.
Kanon: Ohhhh.
Mammon: Then there's Leviathan. How to describe him. He's a shut-in who watches anime and plays video games. He hates socializing and ofte looks down on others while feeling jealous.
Kanon:...He sounds like a jerk.
Mammon fought the urge to laugh. Yeah, Levi can be a jerk most of the time. Especially to Mammon.
Mammon: Then there's Satan. He likes cats, reading, and cafes. He acts all calm but look out. He has a raging temper and is always angry.
Kanon: Scary...
Mammon: Asmodeus is next. I'm pretty sure ya would've liked him... If we were good terms that is...He is sophisicated, fashionable and he really enjoys shopping, spa sections, and bubblebaths.
Kanon: Wow~! I would like to meet him!
Mammon:.....Maybe someday....(Just not now. I definitely don't even want too look at Asmo.) Then finally there's the twins. Beelzebub and Belphegor. Beelzebub likes to eat and his head is always in the clouds. Belphegor
....Well...He's the youngest. Spends most of his days napping. A spoiled brat that's got a mouth on him. Never afraid to speak to his mind.
Kanon: Cool~! You got a lot of brothers, Papa! Do You have a sister?!
Mammon shuddered under the somewhat mentioning of Lilith. His sister....His dead little sister...The only sibling who has never treated him like a burden but yet the others hold him responsible for her death... At least in Lucifer's case.
Mammon: I'll...tell ya later, Little Treasure. Right now. Let's get started unpacking.
Kanon: Alright~!
The little witch girl begin unpacking from her suitcase taking her new clothes she gotten from the witches inside her new room.
Mammon begin unpacking too. First from his clothes to his accessories. Despite having a new home that he brought with the money, he will have to get a new job and probably get Kanon to start going to school. He doesn't want her to stay couped up inside this house all alone while he works. His threw away his modeling career at Majoish for this.
He didn't want to go back to that life.
He knows life in the human world will just be hard. Especially for a demon like him. But if he and Kanon worked together, they could overcome anything.
Mammon: It's time to start your new life, Mammon.
*Rustle*
Mammon: Huh?
Mammon then noticed something rustling through his clothes in his suitcase.
Mammon: (Da Hell? Did some animal broke into my suitcase when I wasn't looking???)
What happened next was Mammon was at least expecting. The rustling turned into a full-on assault as the figure broke out of his clothes out into the open revealing who they really are.
???: Papa!
It was Little D #2. The little greed demon that works at Diavolo's castle under Barbatos' supervision along with the other six little Ds. He also dubbed himself Mammon's "Son".
Mammon: Hah?! Oh no! Not you again! What are you doing here?!
Little D#2: Hehehe~!
