"Satan is an angel who challenged God to fight in the past. In fact, he's done it many times over. And we restart each and every time. Never is there a winner. Never does the Earth's species not recover." You explained while you rode with fully transformed Akira. "It is said he came to Earth because he lost his original battle. He is..." You stumbled. It didn't feel right to discredit him entirely. "He is noble, beautiful and benign. He has six sets of soft, white feathers. He has the body parts of a male and female. Satan loves pomegranates, but he forgets the name of many human objects, even that of his favorite food. He isn't the type to get jealous, but he demands what he believes he is owed. He stands up for what he believes in, no matter if it's right or wrong. That is why he will kill you, even though he loves you."

"He lov--" Akira abruptly stopped speaking as the world practically vibrated around you all.

"Jenny is attacking. We have to hurry or she really will kill the last remaining humans." You held Akira tightly.

"YN..." He looked at you sadly.

"Yes, Aki?" You looked up at him gently.

"If it's a girl, would you name her Miki? And if it's a boy... I always wanted to name my son after me... I know that's a pretty selfish request."

"Whatever you want, Aki. You'll be here to choose anyway."

You weren't so sure about that, but saying it out loud made you feel a bit better.

The dragon took a sudden dive, and Akira held onto you even more tightly.

"You're going to be flown to safety after this. Promise me that you'll stay there." He kissed your head.

"I promise."

It was the very least you could do.

"RYO!" Akira screamed as the assault began.

"You fool!" It was demon Koda again. "The weak die and the strong survive. That's the way of the world."

"Then you're on the wrong side!" Akira screamed as he ripped Koda in half.

Down further below, Jenny and Satan spoke.

"Leave this to me, Satan." She requested.

"You should join the main war. And ensure Persephone's safety." He noted as he looked up at the stars.

"It would be better if you ignored Akira Fudo." Jenny warned.

"Go." He commanded.

"Yes, sir."

Ryo sighed as he spoke to himself now.

"Akira. Are you sure you want to fight me? We could all live together. We could be a family. You could see your child grow up." His face however, never wavered.

You watched from the safety of the dragon-like demon as Akira's fist punched first through Satan's barrier and then into his face. You'd be lying if you didn't like it just a little bit. No one had ever hurt Satan. Physically at least.

You, on the other hand, had hurt whatever was left of Satan's heart. Crushed it. And now, he didn't care about anything else; he wanted the world to be safe for you. He was going to redeem himself to you and win you back. But first, he had to deal with Akira.
