We apologise to our viewers. The fight of the century will be delayed.
=====================================================
From a bird's-eye view, we see New Sydney being ransacked by demonic figures and hordes of the bat-like Wavers. We see TEMPO flying across the sky, GLADMAN in one arm, energy blasts leaving the other, obliterating any Waver that is foolish enough to come too close. Eventually they set down at the outskirts of the city, in the very location of INFRA's first confrontation with ABHOR.
TEMPO: This is as far as I go, Father-chan.
GLADMAN: What do you mean? (incredulously) You're not going back to fight those two again?
TEMPO turns away from GLADMAN.
TEMPO: No, Father-chan. You know my primary function, of course? You were the one who programmed it.
GLADMAN: Well, yes... I never wanted you to have that weaponry, but I had no choice. So, I made it your primary function to protect humans.
TEMPO: You did.
TEMPO turns back to GLADMAN, smiling for the first time.
TEMPO: The large demon LUCIFER poses a threat to humanity, and so my duty remains to eliminate him.
GLADMAN: And what about the others?
TEMPO: ... I will fight alongside them. I think they can be trusted for now.
GLADMAN breathes a sigh of relief.
GLADMAN: TEMPO... I'm proud of you. You remind me so much of Midori...
GLADMAN begins to shake again, and TEMPO walks over to him and places her hands on his shoulders. GLADMAN pulls himself together.
GLADMAN: She'd be proud of you too... you're just like her.
TEMPO smiles again as she wraps her arms around GLADMAN's neck and shoulders.
TEMPO: Wish me luck, Papa-chan.
With that, TEMPO lets go and runs a few feet away before launching herself into the sky. GLADMAN watches her until she is out of sight.
GLADMAN: Good luck, TEMPO.
=====================================================
Till next time, I guess. |

*drumroll*
=====================================================
We return to INFRA, ULTRA, LUCIFER and ABHOR. ABHOR is a safe distance away as the others duke it out. INFRA and ULTRA, with orb-enhanced speed and strength, get in a good number of hits on LUCIFER's torso. Finally LUCIFER begins to strike back, attacking ULTRA. ULTRA quickly shields himself, and lets LUCIFER pound away at the shield for a few seconds before leaping to the side. Confused, LUCIFER turns around to see INFRA, engulfed in flame, charging at him, and barely has time to brace himself before he is tackled to the ground. INFRA and ULTRA bat him from side to side for a bit, during which we can see his hands glowing, and eventually...
LUCIFER (enraged): ENOUGH!!
... he sends them both flying with a burst of darkness from each hand.
LUCIFER: Spit up those orbs now, and perhaps I will make your deaths less painful.
The only response he gets is a barrage of attacks; waterbombs from the right and fireballs from the left. Before he can recover, ULTRA gets in a good hard smash to the side of the head, dizzying LUCIFER. INFRA takes advantage of this by kicking a vehicle into LUCIFER and knocking him down. The duo then approach the limp form of LUCIFER.
ULTRA: Hah! We flattened him!
INFRA: Perfect.
Their celebration is short-lived as each is grabbed by the neck. LUCIFER stands up, one opponent in each hand. Unable to maintain control, INFRA and ULTRA struggle for air as their orbs drop out through their skin.
LUCIFER: That's better.
He tosses them down in front of him and kicks the orbs away. ABHOR approaches nervously.
ABHOR: Master LUCIFER, don't you think... shouldn't you absorb those yourself?
LUCIFER backhands ABHOR, who drops to the ground in pain.
LUCIFER: Fool! Does it look like I need them? Those two had one each and I thrashed them.
ABHOR (in pain): Of - course, sir...
LUCIFER raises both hands towards INFRA and ULTRA. As he prepares his attack, something stirs behind him. Next thing we see is ABHOR being shot by a burst of green energy and flying past LUCIFER. LUCIFER turns, distracted, and is hit in the face by the flying TEMPO. As he reels in pain, TEMPO knees him in the stomach and sends him skidding down the street with a following punch. As he skids, then rolls, TEMPO fires several rockets at him. INFRA and ULTRA have recovered and are rising to their feet when the rockets connect and explode. TEMPO turns to the duo and INFRA raises his hands and prepares to attack.
TEMPO: I wouldn't do that, INFRA-san. I think you two will need my help.
ULTRA: So, you're going to help us now?
TEMPO replies by tackling the two of them out of the way as a blast of dark energy flies over their heads.
INFRA: Well, it's nice of you to finally trust us... but I don't think fighting him is the solution.
ULTRA: Did I just hear you, INFRA, say that we shouldn't be fighting?
INFRA: ULTRA. TEMPO and I will stall LUCIFER, you go up to Heaven and find out how LUCIFER got sealed in the chamber.
LUCIFER fires more blasts of energy and the trio leap and fly out of the way.
INFRA: Go now! We can handle it!
ULTRA: Right, right!
ULTRA flies up into the air and vanishes in a flash of light. INFRA and TEMPO turn to face LUCIFER.
We, however, follow ULTRA once again to Heaven where everybody seems to be blissfully unaware of LUCIFER's escape. ULTRA rushes to the cathedral again and seeks out HAROLD, the third Lord of Heaven. Spotting him entering his large office, ULTRA quickly heads over to him.
ULTRA: Lord HAROLD!
HAROLD: What's that? Oh! ULTRA, old boy, do come in.
As they enter the room, ULTRA begins explaining the situation.
HAROLD: You took our only orb out of the vault to help a demon!?
ULTRA: I needed it, Lord HAROLD! INFRA would have died otherwise!
HAROLD: My word, young fellow! You need to get over this attachment to this demon you call "brother"!
ULTRA: He is my brother, and that's not the point! LUCIFER's free in the city!
HAROLD freezes.
HAROLD: ULTRA... you're serious about this?
ULTRA: Yes, and I'm sorry! But I need to know how he became trapped in the first place! It says in St Peter's book that you sealed him in the chamber ages ago!
HAROLD: No, ULTRA, it says the Lord of Heaven did. It was my predecessor, Edward, and I have neither the knowledge nor the ability to repeat it. Now please, boy, I must inform Heaven of our situation.
ULTRA leaves, frustrated, and heads back towards the entrance of Heaven.
We, however, follow ULTRA back to Heaven. All the angels are still chatting or going about their business, evidently unaware that LUCIFER is wreaking havoc in the mortal plane. This time, instead of heading for the cathedral, ULTRA turns right and flies into a fairly large building. Inside, he is surrounded by shelves lined with all kinds of books; this is obviously a library. ULTRA runs off to a section in the far back, entitled "History", and pulls down a large book. We briefly see the title, "St Peter's History of the World" before ULTRA drops the heavy book onto the table and begins flipping through it.
ULTRA: Would've been nice to know when he got imprisoned before looking... but I'll have to wing it from here... wait, here it is. (reads) "His patience with the Demon Lord having run out a long time ago, Lord Edward forced LUCIFER back to his underworld and, with a powerful enchantment, sealed him there, preventing him from entering either Heaven or the mortal plane." But... what was the enchantment?
ULTRA flips through a few more pages.
ULTRA: And there's no more information! We don't have any magical knowledge!
ZEST: Yeah, a lot stuff in that book has to be omitted. Just for security reasons.
ULTRA jumps, and looks around. No one can be seen.
ZEST: Oh, sorry. I keep forgetting... let me just find... ah, that'll do.
The end of ULTRA's staff, which is a large spherical bulb not dissimilar to one of the orbs (but with the "yin-yang" pattern on it), flashes
for a second, and ULTRA is shocked to see that a face has appeared on the bulb.
ZEST: Right. So uh, I'm Zest, by the way. And, as I was saying, that section of the book's not for personal viewing.
ULTRA: Th-thanks, uh, Zest... but I need to know what happened there. See, Lucifer's esc -
ZEST: I know, I know what's going on. He's back and you want to seal him away again.
ULTRA: ... uh, yeah. How'd you know that?
ZEST: I know a lot of things, ULTRA. See that? I know your name, and your brother INFRA's name, and I know how you can succeed in your mission. See, Edward sealed LUCIFER away into a new chamber, that's how his enchantment worked. But in your case, there's already a chamber to put him in.
ULTRA: But... that one's seal is broken. That's how LU-
ZEST: Turn the book to the last page.
ULTRA: Huh?
ZEST: The last page.
ULTRA hesitantly does so, and notices at the bottom that more text is adding itself. Skimming up the page, a sentence catches his eye.
ULTRA (reading): "INFRA and ULTRA pursued ABHOR to the location of the chamber's entrance, and could only watch as he used the six orbs to open the sealed portal, and as the Demon King stepped out the chamber sealed itself again." So wait...
ZEST: Mmm?
ULTRA: It's not broken, it's just sealed up again... and we can use the orbs to reopen it! The problem now is forcing LUCIFER back inside...
ZEST: Ah well, that's for you to figure out. I've got other messages to deliver.
ULTRA: One last thing, Zest... How come you're helping us? And why are you invisible?
ZEST: Well, I'm helping you because you're a good guy and I don't want LUCIFER to wreak chaos on the world. As for my invisibility... well, it's really more intangibility... I'll tell you later, ok? You've got work to do!
With that, ZEST vanishes and ULTRA turns and rushes out of the library.
=====================================================
Major edit. The whole argument with Harold didn't fit into future events, and I had originally planned to add Zest before now.
Also, did I mention earlier that Ultra has a staff? All the main characters' appearances are in my head but I should be describing them better for people who read this. |
