God starts to laugh. Oh my, that ones soul is most pure as well. What an interesting fellow youve picked up, Demon Lord. Such a shame that you have to taint such a rare jewel.

Bub crosses his arms. Enough with the bullshit. Just what do you want?

Gods expression darkens. I want revenge, Demon Lord. Revenge for what you Demons did to my father. For the Angels of the older generation.

Bub smiles smugly. Heh, so youre the son of that old geezer of a God, huh? Hate to break it to you, but that wasnt us.

Oh, I am perfectly aware. It has been years, after all, since the war. The war, which left an entire mortal city in ruins. The war, which left both Heaven and Hell in chaos. The war he tenses his hands, which ended in a stalemate. He turns around and lowers Lily inside the pillar, then turns back to Bub. Let us finish what our predecessors started, Demon Lord. Let us he grins unnervingly and holds his hand out, make a deal.

Bub starts to laugh. You? God? You want to make a Demon Deal?

God narrows his eyes. Im being quite serious here.

Bub gets serious in return. Alright. State your terms.

Quite simple, really. God points his finger at Bub. I challenge you to a duel--unrestrained from the rules of the mortal realm. If I am victorious, the girl becomes an Angel, and I am free to take Hell.

Bubs glare becomes more intense. And if I win?

The girl shall be set free, and I shall cease my invasion of Hell.

He bares his claws. Finally, an easy way to end this war. He balls his hand into a fist, digging his claw into his palm and drawing blood.

God strikes his palm against a ring on his finger, which creates a bleeding wound. My sentiments exactly.

They shake hands. A booming clap of thunder rings out the moment their hands meet, and everything darkens. The pillar of light disappears, but Lily is not present anywhere. The darkening is undone, and Bub and God have disappeared.

You look around and only see sporadic flashes of light in the sky. Is that...them?

Valerie looks to the sky with worry. Yeah...I can only hope he knows what hes doing.

Allie chimes in. I dont see Lily anywhere, but I can still feel her presence! Are they still playing with us?

Shes right; her presence is still the same as ever, yet she remains unseen. You can only look up at the sky worrying about both her and Bub.

Another flash of light. Bub and God are finally visible and trying to wrestle each other in the air.

God laughs as they clash. Lets be professional, Demon Lord! Youre not even using an inch of your power here!

Bub pushes him away. Neither are you! He charges an energy beam and fires it at God.

He flies out of the way. Thats it! We wouldnt be doing our predecessors any justice if we fought with our hands! He raises his hand and snaps. From the storm clouds emerge spears of energy raining down towards Bub.

Bub runs around in midair, with ripples of energy appearing at every footstep he makes, as though he is walking on an invisible platform. He nimbly dodges all the energy spears and fires spheres of energy in return.

God maneuvers through them with ease and continues his barrage of spears. Oh dear, this is looking a lot like a stalemate, is it not?

Bub continues to dodge and fire spheres. What kind of game are you playing here?!

God closes his hand, which stops his attack. Oh, nothing at all. In fact... he opens his hand again and conjures a gigantic energy spear. I say we end this all with one strike.

Bub stops firing spheres and starts charging a colossal ball of energy at his side. I like that idea.

They both remain idle as they charge up their attacks. The inaction only makes you feel more uneasy.

The clouds get darker and the sounds of thunder become more frequent.
