“ Oh! I'm almost there. No need to wish me luck either, that little bitch, Lucifer, will know not to ever mess with me again. Oh and tell Velvette to pick her shit up from my floor. It's getting annoying. Have fun at that stupid Overlord meeting~! ”

And he ended this voicemail. Looking out the window to see the hotel. Valentino grinned with a toothy seductive smile and brought out a cigarette, lighting it and blowing out the addictive smoke. Grabbing both angelic guns and walking out of the limousine to walk up the pathway to the hotel.

Once at the top he shot a bullet into the air, the ring of the gun was like music to his ears. With a calm and angry tone he yelled to the hotel. His wings folding out the pink smoke flooding the ground like a dense fog.

“ Lucifer, get your little bitch ass down here before I shoot everyone in the DAMN HOTEL!! ”

He snapped once, trying to open a portal. His fear made it difficult, but he managed to snap open a portal, stepping into it and closing it behind him before Ninlil or Adam could follow him.

His body was tense. He could feel his throat closing up, his mouth drying.

As soon as he saw Val… none of that got better.

He thought his legs would give up form under him, and they almost did if he didn’t use his cane for support.

“Shit.”

“Adam.” Her voice once again filled with rage. “Are you gonna be okay to fight?”

The rattling of chains filled the air as her strength built. “Because I’m gonna kill that fucking moth. I can’t protect you and Lucifer at the same time.”

“Are you gonna be okay?” She warped the room to connect to the front door, step through it and seeing Lucifer and that object of her rage standing a bit too close together.

Another growl ripped through the air.

“GET AWAY FROM THE KING!”

He had to be ready to fight, or else things would go to shit quickly.

He looked at the moth he heard so much about, a dark expression spreading on his face. Valentino? This is the fucker that hurt his boyfriend and was now threatening them?

“ Luci baby~, come to Papí~. ”

Val cooed with a sickening grin. The smoke forming a tight chain around Adam's throat and pulling him down as he took a shot at the woman. Missing her entirely and hitting Adams horn instead.

However, he could very faintly see Adam being pulled down, which caused him to momentarily snap out of his daze, calling out desperately as he reached a hand out, yelling.

The sheer force of numbers causing a breeze that pushed the red smoke back and exposing Valentino for a second before he summoned the smoke to cover him again.

But she had seen him. It was enough.

“There you are…”

Chained Hands slammed down around Valentino, pushing the smoke away from him, leaving him more exposed. A chained green hand managing to pierce his shoulder and his thigh.

She surged forward, pushing between Lucifer and Valentino, getting in between them and her eyes going blue as some golden chains appear.

“No more…”

An aching pain was in his horn and head as well, his eyes all disoriented.

He did however stand up after, despite the pounding in his head.

Lucifer was more important than his own pain.

“ Now now cariño, don't be so worried about them. It's what they deserve. You know this..~. ”

He froze as soon as he felt the barrel of the gun get pressed against his head, his throat closing entirely.

However.. as soon as he heard that one word… a brief gloss went over his eyes.

That one word.

Cariño.

“I hope you’ve made peace… you’re dying today.” Ninlil’s voice reverberated from everywhere. Her wing limp and bleeding, it hurt… it burned worse than hellfire. but it didn’t matter, not now, she could heal later.

Her own chained hands griped her shoulders. Puppeteering her as she hoisted herself into the air once more. Her wings limp behind her.

Her gaze still pinning Valentino in its focus. Even as her tail wrapped around Lucifer and began to pull him away.

“Lucifer! Get to Adam, get out of here!”

The 8 chained golden hands from the 8 angelic deals raised in the sky behind her. Heaven, conveniently, illuminating her from behind.

And in that scene, Valentino did see his death.

He wanted to be there for him, he wanted to protect him.

But then he saw look in Lucifer's eyes. He saw the weird glaze that covered his eyes, and the blank expression on his face.

It was unnerving.

…But then he spoke.

He uttered words that were not supposed to be spoken..

Val smiled at the other two and laughed at their stupidity. They really thought this would just be a silly battle between demons? No no no. Valentino is one of the Vee's, three of Hell's master manipulators, he's more than just a pimp, he's a freak of nature. Willing to do anything to get what he wants.

Of course, he was just following orders from the one person he remembered, the only person he knew to listen to. The only person he recognized in this current situation.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that he was doing something wrong, though. The feeling that came and went in the blink of an eye.

Ninlil snarled as the golden chains shot towards Valentino.

The hand pointed in a blade like position. Shooting down with the speed of a bullet.

It was aimed, right for Valentino’s heart. She was gonna end this in one blow.

Ninlil saw Lucifer get in the path of the death raining down from above.

Her body moving before she was fully conscious of doing so.

She would keep him safe… she promised she would…

Maybe it was the sheer force of that promise that allowed her to move faster than the Hand.

She wrapped him in her arms, and pushed him back as she felt her own hand pierce her body, ripping through her spine and coming out the other side of her torso.

She gasped, her voice gargling as blood quickly began to fill her lungs…

She grit her teeth as she hugged Lucifer to her, pinning him to her.

“Lu-cifer…. I, need you, to fight this. I know you’re confused… and I k-know you’re scared. (Cough) and that’s okay…. But I NEED you, to fight. Lucifer! Remember Us!”

Some of her blood splashed against his face, and a flash of recognition appeared in his eyes for a moment, just long enough for him to utter her name, long enough for the tears to form.

“ ….Ninlil….? “

A desperation to keep him safe the only thing keeping her moving.

“ADAM!” She called, her head rolling limply as she turned to look at him. Her eyes locking with his, her chained hands going and resting on Adam’s shoulders. “Save…. Us….”

With her words, and the contact of her chains to him, there would be a shift in the Air….

A change of power taking place as Ninlil’s strength began to drain out of her… and into Adam.

A light burst from his chest like a beam, a halo reforming around his head as his angelic wings regrew over his fallen wings….

Divinity…. At least temporarily… has been restored.

He wasn't expecting his angelic powers to return, even temporarily, his form growing, his height changing to make him atleast 15 feet tall.

His eyes were wide, staring at the bloodshed from Ninlil bleeding out, the blank look on Lucifer's face. And then there was Valentino.

He was angry, pissed off over it all. This shouldn't be happening, and he summoned his axe like guitar as a backup weapon.

”Oh! I'm almost there. No need to wish me luck either, that little bitch, Lucifer, will know not to ever mess with me again. Oh and tell Velvette to pick her shit up from my floor. It's getting annoying. Have fun at that stupid Overlord meeting~!”

Vox listens to the Voicemail and freezes.

”He’s actually going to attack the hotel..” “ŠHÍT!”

Vox quickly uses his screen to look at a drone stationed by the Hotel and swatches as Valentino falls to the ground holding his chest. Vox was stunned..

”FŪÇK¡ VÆŁĘŃTÍŃØ”

Vox uses his Electokinesis I get to the scene, He doesn’t waste a second once he gets there. Vox teleports over Val and grabs him into his arms.

”VÅŁ?? VȺŁ 𝙏⃥ÁŁK TØ MÊ!”

Vox looks down and notices the large hole in his chest

”𝐹̸Ū𝐶̸Ҝ V̡̟A̫L̋͐EN͒̇T̰̰͟I̥̿ͣN̅̀͢Ȏ TÆŁҜ TØ 𝑀̸𝐸̸ Į ÇÂN͒̇ 𝐹̸Į🝍 ₮Ⱨł₴- Í..”

Vox pulls him closer knowing he’s not going to make it. Tears welling up his eyes.

“Y͐ͦO̴̼̩U͕̲ CA̜̻NT͟ FUC̞ͮKI̖N̺͗̐Gͦ DI͋E! YO̳Ų FU̞̎C̳K̝I̭N̮̣ͦG̊ IDỈÓ̗ͪT̳ͫ̌ I̻̭ͥ L͝O̖͓V͙̚E̺ ŶO̜̙͝U!”

Vox looks down into Valentinos eyes

“ I.. I love you too Vox.. I.. love you so m..uch.. ”

Val's eyes starting to gloss over slowly, the bright vibrant colors of his wings turning to a gray. Tears running down his face as he was thankful to see Vox for the last time.

“ You were.. always m..my light.. my..... love....... ”

The second he snapped out of his daze he jumped back with a small shout.

One thing that was relieving was the feeling of some sort of invisible weight being lifted off his entire body.

The one problem?

He didn’t know where he was. He didn’t know who all of these people were. Their only person he recognized was Valentino, who at the moment was now.. …well, dead.

Right now, he was just.. …lost. His deal was done, sure! But..

His two pairs of wings settled against his back, and he rushed over to Ninlil and Lucifer, concern and worry in his eyes.

"Fuck fuck fuck! Oh my god—" He started, his voice shaking. He made himself smaller, looking at Lucifer with concern, and he looked down at Ninlil who was actively dying.

"Lucifer, it's okay, it's fine, I promise- We can- I can fix this." He said in a softer tone, trying to calm Lucifer down as he crouched down to check on Ninlil.

She lifted a hand and gently rested it in Adam’s cheek.

“Shh… It’s okay.” Her words were barely above a whisper, her breath more wheezing as she struggled to breathe past the hole in her chest. “I… promised I w-would keep you, safe. You’re safe… you’re okay… I did it….”

“H-how is he? Lucifer?” She turns her head to look as Lucifer. “Lucifer? Estrella? I… love you guys… live well for me… please?”

He hugged her close, with one arm, to keep her safe, close, while the other was trying to reach out to Lucifer, and get him back to normal. Get him to remember again.

He needed Lucifer to remember.

He needed things to not fall apart even more infront of his eyes. He needed...

He was scared.

“ You killed him..”

Vox looks like he’s about to collapse, His face buffering and electricity spewing in every direction.

“He’s dead.. He’s actually gone..”

Vox starts to hyperventilate and laugh manically, His screen eventually went black and read -Error- -System Overdrive- he put his hand on the top of his screen and collapsed. Causing a Hell-wide blackout.
