Then Why Didn't You Help Him?!
A/N: Two certain angels antagonizing two demon brothers. Take a wild guess...
Beelzebub walked to R.A.D alone...
It's funny, usually he would have Belphie with him. But sadly, his twin wanted to be alone.
He didn't want to be anyone at the moment and stayed home in their rooms.
The fact that Beelzebub was alone without Belphegor was really surprising.
But it's not as surprising of the fact that their family is broken.
Lucifer is drowning himself in demonous and paperwork.
Levi, with video games, anime, and Henry 2.0 to keep him company.
Satan had decided he wanted nothing to do with anyone in the family.
Asmo was complaining most of the time.
Belphie was riling everyone up as usual.
Everyone at each other's throats. Beelzebub can sense it. If this keeps up, this family won't survive.
What will Lord Diavolo do to them if they cause another fight that could bring others into their misfortune???
Mammon.
His big brother.
He didn't deserve it...He didn't deserve any of what they all put him through.
Beelzebub felt the most guiltiest out of all the brothers. He should've helped him. He should've protected him.
Lord Diavolo made it perfectly clear that they are all to blame for Mammon leaving.
Sure, Mammon may be dumb and he stole things from them. But that's because he couldn't control his sin. Besides Lucifer in some occasions, Beelzebub is closest brother to understanding Mammon.
After all, Sin Of Greed and Gluttony were almost the same yet so different. Because Beelzebub can be greedy and ravenous when it comes to food.
Whenever Beelzebub is hungry. Even if he eats a truckload of food. It wouldn't satisfy his hunger. There is a empty hole in his stomach.
Beelzebub: *Sighs*.....I'm hungry...
Maybe he should stop at Madam's Screams for a quick bite. The people who work there always know what to give him.
He knows Lucifer won't like him raiding the fridge or adding more bills to the list.
But Beelzebub couldn't take it. He needs to eat. NOW!!!
He'll eat anything. ANYTHING. Well besides Solomon's cooking. So almost anything.
*Growling*
Beelzebub: *Sighs*....So Hungry.
Madam's Screams It Is~!
*Later*
Shopkeeper: Thank you for ordering Lord Beelzebub. Please Come again~!
Beelzebub nodded as he started eating his food while teleporting to R.A.D.
Tbh, the school's atmosphere felt a bit different now...
Usually, there were always students chatting about him and his brothers. But now, people looked at him in fear.
I mean yeah, he is a demon lord so of course, he would get those kinds of looks.
Lesser Demons feared him. There was no surprise there.
He could eat a human or another random demon if he has too. Anything to satisfy that empty hole he calls a stomach.
But now, ever since Mammon left and the relationship between his brothers were falling apart. The rumors around him and the other demon bros had skyrocketed.
Everyone at R.A.D now was aware that Mammon had retired from being the Avatar Of Greed. Diavolo and Barbatos are still struggling to find a new replacement.
Rare occasions, some demons actually looked guilty for their actions while there were those who didn't bat an eye and were glad the second eldest was gone. But however, most feared Mammon now after the events that occurred months ago about him attacking three students who wouldn't leave him alone.
Beelzebub never thought Mammon would be the type of person to attack someone. But then again, he is a fighter and a Fallen Warrior. Which is something the brothers had clearly forgotten.
The gosipping had escalated through the roof.
"Did you hear...?"
"Yeah. I heard the Demon Lords are going through a tough time finding a replacement of the Avatar Of Greed..."
"I knew he was dumb and greedy but to be honest, without him, things are now just boring..."
"Yeah. I can't help but feel on edge everytime I see one of the other demon lords..."
"Shush! Lord Beelzebub is right there! He'll hear you!"
He can hear and he did gave them an annoyed look causing the lesser demons to flinch and scattered. He then remembered their talk about the second eldest.
Beelzebub: Mammon...
???: Oh...It's You....
Beelzebub flinched at the melancholy tone. He turned his head to see Raphael not too far away.
Beelzebub:.....
Raphael:......
Beelzebub and Raphael did not had a good relationship. Even if Lucifer welcome the angel back as family. That didn't mean Beelzebub had too. After all, this guy was all for seeing Lilith die back during the Celestial War.
Raphael: Beelzebub...
Beelzebub: Raphael...
Raphael: Hmph...
Beelzebub:.....I miss him...
Raphael: Do you?
Beelzebub: I do. He's family.
Raphael:....Funny. I thought he wasn't family to all of you.
Beelzebub: We were wrong. We need him. I will make things right.
Raphael:..... You're going to make things right? Don't make me laugh. You already screwed up. You don't deserve Mammon.
Beelzebub glared at him.
Beelzebub: That isn't up to you. You also was once Mammon's twin brother. When was the last time you two ever bonded like brothers? Your relationship with him is no where compared to mine with Belphie.
Raphael:.....
Beelzebub: I will save this family and make things right.
Raphael: Oh? So you think you can save this family and fix everything?
Beelzebub:...Yes?
Raphael: *Sinister Chuckle* Then Why Did You Allow Lilith To Die That Day?
Beelzebub: ?!
How could he say that?!!!
Raphael: After all. It is YOUR fault she died. Because you chose Belphegor instead of her. Just like how you chose to keep your mouth shut instead of helping Mammon. You just as guilty as the other Avatar Of Sins....When it comes to your sin. No one bats an eye...Especially when you went through the Molten Metal Of Prayers...
Ah. The Molten Metal Of Prayers. Back in the day when Beelzebub posssesed humans to satisfy his hunger. Something he wishes to forget.
Raphael: But Mammon can't even get a moments rest without telling him not to sin...you barely done anything to help him. Face the facts, Beelzebub.
"You Are A Horrible Brother...."
Thirteen: Oi! Raphael! There you are!
Raphael:....Thirteen.
Thirteen: Quit Antagonizing Others! We got places to be!
Raphael: *Sighs* Alright...
Raphael walked away with Thirteen leaving Beelzebub alone, who looked a little pale after hearing all that what the angel told him.
Beelzebub: I....No....What....
Was he truly a horrible brother???
....It's been months....
He can't take it anymore.
He wanted to see him.
He wanted to tell him how sorry he was...
For not protecing him...
For not being the brother he needed the most.
For insulting him in his own way...
Mammon deserved better...
He will no longer wait for anything.
Beelzebub: I'm going to find you Mammon...and make up for all of things I've done. With or without the others' help.
*Meanwhile*
It's such a sight I've been waiting to see for a very long time...and who would've thought all it took was for his own pride to hurt everyone he loves deadly~! Such a pity~!
Hearing that cold calculating manipulative tone made his blood boil as he turned to the unwelcome guest whom invited himself into the House Of Lamentation, straight into his dining room before sitting down at the chair farthest across from Lucifer.
Lucifer: What do you want...Michael?
He got a good look at the angel. Long silver white hair and brown skin. Halo placed on his head with three sets of holy white wings in all it's glory which earned him that title of Archangel. He wore the same outift as Simeon and Raphael.
If you look closely, he almost bare a striking resemblance to Mammon. Which made sense to Lucifer because...Michael was Mammon's biological older brother before he gave him away to Lucifer.
A/N: Until his appearance is revealed, this is what I imagine he looks like. Who knows they probably will finally show him in Nightbringer.
Lucifer had been close friends with Michael for a long time. To most of the angels, they were like practically twins.
So, when Michael had two young angels. assigned under him, Lucifer had only assume that he would treat them well, right?
Well he was wrong.
When Michael's neglect of one of those angels (Mammon) because he didn't know how to control him, forces him to be reassigned to Lucifer, he learns that Michael isn't as good as he'd originally assumed.
Michael: Oh~! Nothing much. I just wanted to have a little chat. That's all...
Lucifer could never understand him. No one could. Well, besides Raphael. According to the brothers, Michael is "obsessed" with Lucifer and has many of his old things.
Lucifer: I'm not here to play games with you, angel. Let me speak to Simeon.
Michael: I'm afraid Simeon got a lot of his plate to take care of. It's funny that you would rather speak to your former older brother than your old friend.
Lucifer: Does Father know you're here?
Michael: The Lord does not. But nontheless, he will know because he is everywhere.
Lucifer: ....So what are you here for...?
Michael: Just a little chat like I said before. Geeze Lucifer, stop getting so riled up everytime you see...
Lucifer: I haven't seen you in over hundreds of years. I always hoped to never see you again. So...what is it that you want to talk about...it better be quick because I got better things to do than to want you wasting my time.
Michael hummed at him in amusement before letting himself to a cup of tea.
Michael: Well...I will be frank. I'm here to talk about Mammon.
Lucifer:....and you decided to make it your personal mission to come down here and-what? Show me up one more time? Embarrass me and try to make me think I'm not worthy enough, not even down here? Prove to father that, once again, I'm too weak to succeed, and that you are not?'
Lucifer had stepped so close to Michael until the gold of his eyes was the only thing he could see.
Lucifer: I do not want your help about the situation with Mammon. I do not need it.
Michael: I'm not here to help you, Lucifer....
He back a tone as venomous tone that held similarly to Lucifer.
Michael: I say it once. This is not about you, or myself or a rekindle of our fruitless competition to win father's favor anymore. This is about Mammon.'
The aarchangel can feel the other holding back his wrath cleaved in two then, and before he could even summon it himself, his wings sprung from his back.
Lucifer: Take his name out of your mouth. You are not allowed to say his name, Michael!
Michael: Tut. Or what? I persistently remember I had to give him up to you. So he could live a better life...But once Raphael send me a report regarding Mammon's current state. I might say I am totally astounded to hear what had occured.
Lucifer: Your point?
The atmosphere in the HOL got chilly as Michael jumped the gun again. No more teasing or amusement. His voice became cold and malleolus.
Michael: *Dark* Mammon always spoke so highly of you...but yet...you never done anything to help him? So answer this question Lucifer? Why didn't you help him? I want to know the truth.
The Avatar Of Pride did not like where this conversation is going...
Lucifer: Why do you care? Mammon never mattered to you. You were more than happy to get rid of Mammon.
Michael: Oh? Are you blaming me. You are also guilty Lucifer. And don't go on playing Judge now. Having Diavolo play the Hell version of Gabriel and you follow him where ever you go like the dog you are.
Lucifer seethed in rage.
Lucifer: How dare you?
Michael: What? I'm stating the truth. No need to stand there like an angry God, Lucifer. But remember... You're no saint.
Lucifer: You're no saint either, Michael...
Who is truly the saint here?
Michael the archangel or Lucifer the devil?
Because if you look deep into it....both men whom question each other's piety, to the point thart it's implying that neither is as innocent as they pretend to be.
Michael may be the Lord's favorite and the head of the archangels back in the Celestial Realm. But he committed multiple heinous acts that would be considered sinful.
Lucifer is the eldest demon brother and Avatar of Pride. But he suffers from shame & guilt through his actions. He scared people, he irritated people, they hated how he treated his siblings (Especially Mammon & Satan), his arrogant attitude and hypocritical behaviour.
We hated how bad he was at controlling his own anger, how most of the time, his resolve was just to try and murder MC (despite locking up Belphie for wanting to do the same thing...)
Michael: Anyway....I've heard a lot about Mammon. He ran off to the human world, correct.
Lucifer:....And why do you need to know. Stay away from him.
Michael: Ohohoho~! Getting overprotective aren't we? In case you forget...Mammon is my little brother too, Lucifer.
Lucifer: *Sneers* He is no longer your brother, Michael! You gave him up because you didn't know how to control him!
Michael: And you knew how to control him? Though Beatings & Punishments. You really have fallen off the deep end. You gave up on him too the moment you sensed him giving into his sin, thr weakness you conjured in your head to excuse yourself from admitting you were wrong, that you weren't good enough to see just how powerful and worthy Mammon was.
Lucifer:.....
Michael: Simeon told me a lot. About how you, Lucifer, wants to do a good job and please Diavolo with the exchange program, for him to assign the task of guarding MC to Mammon and not anyone else already speaks volumes about how much trust Luci actually has in Mammon despite his reputation of a troublemaker...
Lucifer:...I care about Mammon.
Michael: Mhm...But here's the question? Why did you break his trust? By allowing everyone in the world to hurt him?
Lucifer: ....Be that as it may...
Michael: Oh spare me your empty words. I know you Lucifer. When it comes to family. You're all talk but no action. I admit...I did not have the best relationship with Mammon. But what happened between you two is worst compared to mine.
Lucifer: BE QUIET.
Michael: You broke your promise. Your promise to protect him.
Lucifer: That's enough.
Michael: You Don't Deserve Mammon. You're Not Even Qualified To Be An Older Brother.
Lucifer: I. SAID. ENOUGH.
Michael: You're just a pathetic man hiding behind big words to cover up your sins. You're no saint or a savior.
*BAM*
Lucifer: ENOUGH MICHAEL!!!!!
Lucifer transformed glaring at the smirking archangel before him. He held a powerful grip on the Angel's shirt while pushing him to the wall. Michael's smirk never wavered as he examined Lucifer is demon form. The red aura coating him in such a venomous form as he shoved Michael back to the wall so far he made a perfect indentation in the stone wall. Michael blinked back with a smirk, wounded-not in body, but in soul, as he saw former his brother in arm in his devil form. The monster his mistakes had made of him, and of his brothers.
Michael enjoyed every moment seeing Lucifer like this...
Michael: See. That's exactly what I wanted to see...the Devilish Form Of Yours. Seeing your hatred on your face excites me~~~!
Lucifer snarls at him before Michael pushes him away chuckling while straightening his shirt. That obsession he has of Lucifer is going to get him killed one day.
Michael: It's such a shame. To see the once great Lucifer reduced to a shell of his former shelf...and who knew...It would take one of his own brothers to finally leave and his whole world comes crashing down.
Lucifer:....
Michael: It's now becoming clear as day to me. Mammon was never the disappointment Lucifer.
Michael then whispered into his ear as a shadow formed around his face ominously.
Michael: You Are. You're an failure of a older brother. Just like me. We really are no different after all, eh Lucifer~!
Before Lucifer could retort back, the archangel disappeared before he could get the chance. Silence was all you could hear in the HOL.
The Avatar Of Pride let out a sigh. For once, he decided to take another break from paperwork and drown himself in demonus.
Lucifer: I'm going to go play my record player...
*Later*
Beelzebub can't take it anymore...Enough was enough.
Everyone in the HOL was getting worse.
Lucifer and Satan had continued their usual brawl.
Asmo and Levi are having their usual petty fights much to everyone's annoyance and Belphie...
Beelzebub couldn't even look at his twin the same way anymore...
Once again, Belphegor had started blaming everyone around him for the events going on.
Beelzebub knew...someone had to fix this family. If MC couldn't do it. Then there's the next person who could be able too.
The very person they shunned and bashed for their sin to shallow their own ignorance.
The very person who was there for all of them...
Mammon...
Beelzebub: I'm going to make things right...
As soon as Belphie fell into a deep sleep. Beelzebub made his move. He exited out of the room and tiptoed down the hallways. He also had to watch out for Lucifer.
The first eldest brother always knows what's going on. Even if he is asleep or not. He just hopes the man thinks Beelzebub is just going downstairs for a late night snack.
Soon as the coast was clear. Gathering what food he had. He made his way out of the kitchen, straight out the door, and left the House Of Lamentation into the night. It's only a matter of time before his brothers realized his current whereabouts.
He has only one goal in mind.
Beelzebub: I'll find you Mammon and I will atone for my actions... Wherever you are in the human world.
With that, Beelzebub, the Avatar Of Gluttony, ran away from home...
QOTD: Like Raphael, it's hard to write Michael. What do you guys think about him???
