Credit to the artwork goes to the actual artist not me.

The tension was starting to build again as more reports came in. That the aerial assault team was struggling with pushing the Ancient Beast of Carnage towards the beach and would need some extra help. So I was more than aware of what that meant. My gaze going from the various potions and elixers I'd been helping to make to Lucifer. Who was readying Cerberus for a frontal charge with some added protection spells. Solomon noting my unease to bump his shoulder with mine in a gesture of silent encouragement. So I signaled to Satan before I made my way over to the Avatar of Pride. Cerberus gave a growl at my approach for me to do my usual snort of derision. Which made Lucifer heave a sigh of air before giving a command in some ancient tongue. Cerberus quit growling to lay down and wait as Lucifer turned to me. "How goes the potion making? I trust there have been no issues with bolstering our supply?"

My grumble came before I had the desire to tamp it down. I just went for direct and hugged Lucifer as tight as possible. His wings snapping open before they gathered around me for his sigh to wash against my ear. His hug back was careful as much as it was comforting. So I made my words count. "You even think about dropping dead, I will command summon you back from the dead and beat you senseless. Because I love you too much to do otherwise." Lucifer gave that molten chuckle of pure love. Placing a kiss to my cheek before he stepped back and away from me. His words to Cerberus curt for the massive hound to jump up and start sprinting full speed towards his ordered target. With Lucifer vaulting into the air immediately after to soar overhead and right towards where more explosions were sounding off in the far distance. My fists clenched tight as Asmodeus landed behind me.

Asmodeus was so gentle when he pulled me into his embrace from behind. A warmth of pure affection coming off him as I rubbed at my eyes with my dominant hand. His words sweet and silken against my hair. "Oh sweetie. Always with the bold words and straight spine. We see right through it, y'know. It is a fine display of bravado. Despite the fear in your scent. But I love that you stand firm and hold tight to your courageous faith even when you are terrified. It's the most dazzling thing about you, Marzena. So tell me what I know we need to hear from my number one fangirl slash critic." My snicker came out as I nodded to then give Asmodeus my answer. "I do not care how bad this thing ruins your outfit or your skin toner. You dare let this thing kill you, I will bring you back as a decomposing zombie with no makeup." Asmodeus gave the most horrified gasp possible to openly lament, "You wouldn't dare be that mean! Oh no you would not! I refuse to have that happen, Marzena! Ever!"

So it was we both laughed for Asmodeus to turn me around and sneak a kiss. Then he was vaulting off to head for his next delivery. Which left me to watch him depart as Barbatos walked up to me. We stood there for a long moment as shouting sounded out and warriors began making ready for final preparations. Barbatos taking the opportunity to open his hand to me. So I took it to give his hand that squeeze I needed to. My words flat and full of emotion. "I won't ask the dumb obvious questions. We both know you may only divulge so much. I accepted that a long time ago when you revealed those few hints about your power and what you might do. But I do hope and pray... Whatever comes next is us giving our absolute best efforts to save as many as we may. So I am grateful for every sneaky tactic you did behind the scenes to stack the deck in our favor." Barbatos gave a hum of both deep thought and pure affection. His tail sneaking up to my face to brush away my tears. "Always so good with your words. Knowing just what to say and just where you might wish to stop. Precious beyond all measure. That is what you are, Marzena. So hold tight to your beautiful and impossible convictions. I do so love seeing how things unfold when you put all of your heart into this."

Barbatos let go of my hand to turn and walk away. But he did pause to ask me a question of amusement. "By the way. I noticed you aren't wearing your grandmother's antique pendant. I cannot recall the last time you chose not to wear it and wondered if something happened to it." My smirk soon followed a blush dusting over my nose. "The chain to it didn't break this time. I put it on Mammon after I used a shielding spell on it. Since he's the main bait for this plan we all decided on, I wasn't going to let my first pact demon out the door without him wearing it. I did the same thing with my old silver cat ring. But that one is on Beelzebub and laced with a stamina spell." Barbatos gave a rare smile before he replied to my obvious intentions. "A wise choice. I will inform Lord Diavolo that they did not break or become lost. He wondered if such was the case."

Before anyone might say anything more, an air shattering roar sounded out from the direction of the Beast. Making me cover my ears as Diavolo started barking out orders left and right. Satan soon beside me to hustle me over to where Leviathan was currently sitting in the water. Since Simeon was using the space to organize various magic tools. His frown marring his usually tranquil features as Leviathan got up and out of the water. Satan moving to help Simeon with charging several magic tools with strengthening spells as I stared at Leviathan. But my words came out hoarse and uneven this time. "Lev. Stay alive. You don't have to be the cool looking champion. All I want is for you to come back alive. So please. Don't make this be the last time I tell you I love you for always." Leviathan gave a sheepish gulp as his tail went nuts behind him. But he just reached a hand out to ruffle my hair. "Right. Okay. I think I can manage that. But that does mean I expect you to not try jumping into the fight directly. Not unless you are the last party member up and have several mass rezz or nuke spells."

It was then my phone rang for me to snatch it up and answer it. Belphegor on the other end of the phone to sound frantic. "You were right! Thirteen and I just checked the nest of the Beast! Someone did do something insanely stupid!" This had all of us tense as I felt all consuming dread eat my stomach. "They found a way to cross breed this damn thing... It's awake to tend to and train it's soon to hatch young?" Simeon dropped the tool he was holding as Diavolo gave a cruse in ancient tongue. Belphegor confirming as more screams sounded out from a much closer distance. "Some of them already hatched! They just are too disoriented to anything but cling to the Beast's underside as they suckle! Our base camp might as well be a buffet!"

A crack of lightning soon replaced the air with ear splitting thunder. The rain starting to patter down as another shriek erupted from the approaching monster. Luke openly cowering to whimper as Diavolo just gave the full order to advance. So everything started with a frenzy of roars and shouts to charge full tilt at the looming mass that had come over the hill. The aerial assault team getting tossed weapons and tools to start hammering down with vigor onto the Ancient Beast of Carnage with as much as they might give. Blood cascaded out as the beast writhed and bellowed. Satan sweeping me behind him as the young that had already hatched started to dislodge themselves to begin their hunt.

It did not take but seconds for the screams of the dead and the wounded to begin ringing out amongst the roars of both the creatures and the thunder overhead. Solomon gathering what few spell casters we had to begin full on blasting whatever came to close to the base camp. Asmodeus and several other lesser demons would swoop in to catch the wounded and bring them back to be healed or set aside to be buried. The stench of blood and death soaking into the setting as I moved to stand next to Diavolo and Luke. My one gift soon lacing around Luke's neck to surround him with the fragrance of wild flowers and banish any other scent from his knowing. Which made Luke squeak before he turned and all but climbed into my waiting arms. His whole body shaking in pure terror for me to kneel down and cradle him as close as possible. Which had me turn my gaze to Satan as he grabbed a rather deadly looking spear. My words hard and full of several emotions. "Work at culling the herd. And watch that finely sculpted ass of yours." Satan smirked to then vault up and into the fray. While Diavolo started channeling a spell so that the lightning would be drawn away from his army and more towards the creatures. Which had many a winged beast end up falling to the ground in a singed mess.

Finally, Cerberus landed a full charge hit into the Ancient Beast of Carnage to all but steamroll it through the sand and directly into the sea. Water going everywhere for Leviathan to have his navy attack. All kinds of sea creatures and deadly demon fish swarming both the mother and the younglings to rip and gnash and tear into the enemy. With Lotan smacking the Beast down so as to further submerge it into the frigid sea. Lots of roars and shrieks sounding out as Cerberus jumped into the sea to keep biting into the creature. Yet more eggs along the Beast started hatching to have more of the enemy start their counter assault and sweep over the navy. The sea going red in under a minute as more of the young took flight to nip and rip into the warriors above.

I felt a searing pain from my pact bonds to instantly recite the summon chant. Not even thinking when Mammon ended up teleporting directly to us with half his body covered in blood. Fresh bite marks all over his side and leg for his clothes to be ruined. So Luke and I knelt down to start using healing magic as Mammon openly coughed up more red. Diavolo knelt down to steady the Avatar of Greed as he wheezed for air. "Dammit! Guess I'm benched now! Those things are too organized for just hatching! It's like their getting controlled! I bet my beloved Goldie they have a direct hive mind to their mom!" My gaze went wide for Diavolo to scowl at this news. So he looked up to give new orders and have the formations shift. Luke soon grabbing a towel woven with special magic to have steam rise up when Luke placed it on Mammon's shoulders. The demon wincing to then huff a bit as he noted, "Ow. Now I can feel heat back in my bones. Appreciate the help, Luke." Luke gave a sad smile through his tears as Simeon brought a very dazed Asmodeus over. The Avatar of Lust looking rather pale as Simeon helped his newest charge lay down. "Apparently, this one just seduced several dozen of the young into not moving for the others to kill. Which ended up in a major magical backlash. His body is untouched. But his mind may be a bit scrambled for the next few hours."

I gave a grunt as I finally noticed the full on pounding of hammers against the inside of my skull. My eyes watering at the agony to then huff. "Great. Dia. I vote Solomon and Lucifer do a fully charged beam blast boosted by Barbatos and whoever else we can funnel energy from directly into the Beast's insides. I have zero idea what we need to do just that. So please come up with the details." Diavolo nodded to turn and bark out, "Barbatos! I'm giving you the direct order to help me with channeling all we've got into Solomon's next spell! Lucifer! Do the same with what anyone else might spare without dropping dead!" Barbatos gave a scowl of irritation at the idea to then bow his head. His movements quick to find Solomon as the Sorcerer finished tracing a magic circle into the sand around him. Diavolo vaulting over as Satan called out, "Everyone out of the air! We're going to use a full blown spell combo!" Beelzebub landing close to Solomon to have several rips and tears in his clothes to also have much of his leg coated in blood. But he nodded to hustle over to where Belphgor and Thirteen were sprinting over to me. my hand going to the pact marks as the Ring of Light started to burn on my finger. Yet I gave all my focus as I prayed. Giving all the warmth and magic I felt building inside and filling my bond with Lucifer with all I felt and had to give. Meaning Lucifer started to glow from his high vantage above the Ancient Beast of Carnage. Illuminating a speck of a figure even higher up and mostly hidden by the storm clouds. A thought touching at the back of my mind for me to smile. But then Diavolo gave the order. So Solomon and Lucifer let loose with a spell of pure searing light. Meaning all of us on the shore went blind at the intensity for shrieking to ruin all other sounds.

Banding Together (Obey Me!) fanfiction part 4

summary: The end of the battle with the Ancient Beast of Carnage has left much sadness in the three realms. Yet the Demon Brothers find solace in the ones they love to endure the sorrow and uplift their family

characters: Marzena OC/MC, Satan and most of the cast of characters

content: mention of death, mention of violence, talk of medical things, mention of loss, comfort, family. The fight to the death scenario is over so there is no more battle or fighting left to do.

Links to part 1 and part 2 and part 3 here.

Artwork taken from Tumblr manga posts and colored in by me to show Marzena OC and Satan in a snuggle hug (cuz my brain needed the break to just use Paint tool for a couple hours)

The next few days are soaked in sorrow after the battle with the Ancient Beast of Carnage and it's young. My hours spent awake just taking my time to recover my energy as well as my spirit. With Solomon right beside me to give me comfort and affection as we knew I needed. Barbatos seeing to our medical care under Diavolo's tender support. The current ruler of the Devildom openly sitting with us to read to us out loud or have dinner as we stayed in the king sized bed. Barbatos ensuring we kept our minds occupied with various puzzles or the fixing of odd magic tools. Which Solomon enjoyed at a leisurely pace to help me in my magic training as a bonus. Until three days had passed for Satan to arrive to whisk me back to the House of Lamentation. Solomon placing a tender kiss to my cheek before I left the Demon Lord's Castle and went home.

Satan led me through the entranceway to have me showered in eager hugs by the other brothers present. Beelzebub all but squishing me in a bear hug to have my feet leave the floor. Which left my heart and my soul dizzy with the happy feeling that I was indeed back home with the ones I love most. Belphegor soon patting my head to help Satan grab my one duffel bag to head for my room. Where Mammon and Asmodeus were putting newly purchased sheets onto my bed as well as set up brand new pillows for me. Mammon looking fully healed and grinning as he plucked me up to spin me around a few times. Showering my face with soft kisses to grin as I laughed. Soon having Asmodeus snatch me away to dip me back and give me a much more suave kiss. Making my head and heart spin before Satan cleared his throat and Asmodeus got us both upright again. Asmodeus humming to note with good cheer, "You cannot get upset over my special welcome home to our darling Marzena. Especially when you won the draw to keep her company tonight."

I blinked a few times to then turn my gaze to Satan and raise my eyebrow. But it was Mammon who answered my unspoken question. "We drew straws to see who says with you every night during the week. At least until we all believe you've fully recovered your magic and are back to one hundred percent. Since you came home tonight, that means Satan gets to bunk with you first." I didn't bother to complain as I asked, "Where is Lucifer and Leviathan?" Asmodeus heaves a sigh of air to shake his head. "Levi is currently asleep in Lucifer's room right now for Lucifer to be with him. Since... Leviathan is not fully recovered." I instantly went on high alert to try and sprint full tilt to Lucifer's room. Which I was unable to due since Satan literally lifted me up and off the ground before I could take a single step for me to pedal my legs in the air. "Stop. Brakes. Leviathan will be fine and you will see him tomorrow night when he bunks with you. Leviathan is just having serious migraines and lingering trouble as his antlers start to grow back in and heal. It will take around five more days. But we've got magic tonics and injections to ease his pain. Lucifer told me when I left that Leviathan is currently asleep and will stay that way until morning. Hence why Lucifer is not here to welcome you back home. Leviathan will need another injection every two hours in the night. So Lucifer is on watch."

I felt the aching sadness hit full force as I huffed in air. My energy bottoming out as I gave hard and hurting words. "Dammit all. I want to be on the watch list. I will not let any of you try to tell me I can't be helping with Levi's recovery. The first one to even say so will get ordered to clean the crypt for a week." All the demons present give sighs of expected acceptance as Satan set me onto my bed before he nodded. "You are going to have your own watcher when you take a shift to help, Marzena. Barbatos already gave us the full run down of your current medical issues from pushing yourself so badly. You may be a strong human with unbending will. But you did burn through magic from over nine of the most powerful individuals in the three realms. You're lucky you didn't permanently burn out your nerve endings or have your blood vessels rupture from the force of all that magic. Barbatos also commented that the MRI he snuck you into showed signs of inflammation along several major arteries as well as damaged tissue in your muscles. So you are benched and will be getting a trip to a specialist sorcerer slash surgeon in the human world."

I gave a heavy groan to utter a few choice words under my breath. But I can see the sense in all of what Satan is (and isn't) saying as I rub at my eyes with my dominant hand. So Mammon crouches down to ruffle my hair. "Hey hey. It's gonna be fine, Marzena. I heard directly from Michael that Leviathan should be back to his gaming spree in no time. Solomon also is getting the VIP treatment when he gets back to Purgatory Hall. That just leaves us to spoil you and make sure you get back to being your kickass self." Mammon gave me a quick kiss to my forehead before he turned me so I was laying down in my bed. Satan soon slipping off his shoes for Asmodeus to sneak over and reattach the IV line to the still inserted IV fixture in my chest. Which made me grumble as Asmodeus hooked up the IV on the pole they had set up by the bed. "There we go. And yes. You get to have all of us on call with that hospital app that Barbatos put on Solomon and you. So no being able to hide how you are doing. But we'll skip the oxygen tank and just add a dose of magic liquid to the IV." Asmodeus saw to the line to make sure it wouldn't tug as Satan grabbed his sleeping clothes for me to keep my eyes shut and huff. "Typical. This explains why you only packed my comfy sweatpants and sleep shirts for me to walk home in."

Soon enough, it was just Satan and myself in the room for Satan to turn all the lights off. His weight soon sinking into the bed to pull the blankets and extra quilt over us before he hugged me tight. "I know you hate all the fuss. But we were all bouncing off the walls and ceiling while you were gone. So don't be mad at us for too long." My sigh held both fatigue and sadness. "Did the burial ceremony get scheduled yet? Mephistoles texted me on and off to keep me updated on what the families are doing for... For..." Satan sighed to hug me closer. "Yes. But if your trip to that surgeon is going to happen soon, we will be skipping the ceremony to go on that trip. Only warning you get on that." I nodded to snuggle into Satan and heave a sigh of air. So Satan gave me a kiss to the forehead before his body eased into the bed. His words full of love as he spoke. "One step at a time, Marzena. The ones we love will do their utmost best to take care of you as well as drive you crazy. So for now, just get some sleep."
